Home away from home
This gem is not easy to find. Despite Sophie’s detailed directions, we had a hard time finding it. Pro tip: the K exit off line 1 Wushu monastery stop does not have escalator. The station people did not offer a service elevator so we ended up taking B exit which resulted in a much longer walk to the hotel.
Our room was excellent with complimentary basket of snacks and water bottles. The bathroom was extremely modern and well fitted. Washing machine is provided free of charge which was helpful. Breakfast was superb with a good selection of dim sum, stir fry dishes and western foods (e.g., bacon). Staff spoke fluent English and were extremely helpful in providing tips on where to buy things, arranging transportation etc. I frequented the palace pastry shop which was across from the hotel. Lots of restaurants abound but this hotel offers a competitive restaurant on site which we took advantage of because we were losing steam at the tail end of a long trip. If we ever return to Chengdu, we will definitely stay at Xishu again.
