I saw a bed bug on the bed when I went to the room after checking in, in May 2012.  I checked right back out.  

This hotel has a very convenient location, so I put up with the sounds of a rat scratching when I stayed there years ago.  I also put up with a cockroach earlier in May.  However, one bed bug made me leave.  I won't be going back for a while.

bed bug

the location of this hotel is convenient BUT Americans and other foreigners have had problems staying here for the past several years because the phone system is busted. No one can make a call directly to your room nor can they dial the front desk (main hotel phone number) and have the phone call transferred to your room. So unless you just want to sit isolated in your room all day without the ability to connect with friends, you best not stay here.

Phone system broken

Given that there is a veritable blizzard of low/mid class hotels in ChengDu (in common with most Chinese large cities) Super8 barely makes the grade providing only fair value for money. One might be better going slightly up or down market.  On the plus side the rooms are large, with good bathrooms (great shower) otherwise conventionally equipped (including air-conditioning).  The free internet worked well, once I purchased my own Ethernet cable.  Staff are uniformed and well organized, but service is Chinese standard only albeit efficient.  Sadly the male front desk manager was close to being hostile (he always gave me the impression that I was about to run away with the soap); female staff OK

The main draw back is that the rooms badly need a refresh, it does not help to daily stir the same dust backwards and forwards across the same worn fittings (bed and sheets OK).  The carpet was seriously in need of a deep clean and I suffered initially from carpet mites until they got used to my blood; perhaps it was the other way?  Almost none of the advertised features are available, no business centre and no safe deposit (an issue I feel).  This said, this is the only sensible hotel within walking distance of SiChuan University, so the trade off for an average product is good location (Soho).

In the Soho complex there are plenty of so-so restaurants, including faux Japanese (Chinese food by a more expensive name?), European (if you must) and a good Indian.  There are internet cafes, bars and an efficient laundry service (¥10 per item)

All told a relatively comfortable, reasonable value home away from home, if you are not too fussy.

A final word on SLAMMING doors.  This problem is not unique to Super8 and is a worldwide issue.  If you are a door slammer ~ DON’T  Most hotel doors shut relatively quietly, especially at 2am in the morning…..please!

Reasonable value, but good location for SiChuan University

I'e stayed in this hotel half a dozen times in the past 2+ years. It's a Super 8, you get what you can for.

First, the location. Depending on what you're in Chengdu to do, it could be a good location or slightly inconvenient. It's in the southern part of the city, a mere 20-minute ride from the airport (in light traffic). The hotel resides on the 5th-7th floors of the front (east, I believe) wing of the SOHO apartment/office/miscellaneous complex. Within the complex are several hair salons, restaurants, two Wowo 24-hour convenience stores, and a Watsons (HBA). Right outside to the south sits Hooters, which anchors a newly-renovated office/shopping complex. Around the corner is a Trust-mart supermarket, a 24-hour Macdonalds, and a lot of small shops. Across the street is an English pub, a jazz bar, several restaurants and cafes (I recommend Good Wood, one of the better cafe chains). Across the street and a block north is Sichuan University. About a 15-minute walk away, just beyond the univesity, is the electronics mart, where you can get anything from SD cards to high-end cameras and computers. The American Consulate is a couple of blocks away.

Transportation. Airport to hotel via taxi is about 45rmb ($6-7 USD). Getting a cab to the city center could be tricky at times; I've waited anywhere from 5-35 minutes for a cab. To People's Square is only about 10rmb in light to moderate traffic, but if you're in heavy traffic, which is likely during rush hour, it could take over half an hour (and of course will cost more). There is bus stop right outside the complex.

Rooms. Small but not cramped. Good windows and a large ledge (more like a platform) in some rooms. Slight danky smell sometimes. Small workdesk, free internet. Some rooms face the main street (KeHua Beilu) and some face apartments. Small bathrooms, some with enclosed showers (no tub), some with old Chinese-style showers where the water runs all over the bathroom floor until it eventually disappears into the drain. Bathroom amenities = soap and toothbrush. There is a water heater to make coffe and tea but no complimentary water or coffee. Air conditioner works fine. Room fairly bright, hallway fairly dark. This could get creepy at night but from experience it's safe.

Service. None. They check you in, check you out. That's about it.

Overall, it's a good value for under $30 a night.

Caveat: During one of my stays there was no hot water in the morning. I asked the housekeeper outside my door about it and she said it would be back on momentarily. After over an hour and still no hot water, I asked the front desk about it. They said it was a city issue and that it would be back on within a couple of hours. The staff was (surprisingly) appropriately apologetic, which defused my frustration. I went out and came back a few hours later and the problem was resolved. This only happened once, but still...

Tip: The Super 8 has standard and business rooms, I believe. I tried out the biz room and it was roughly the same size as the standard, but with a small sofa and an equally small coffee table. Just stick with the standard.

Enjoy Chengdu!

As Basic as basic gets, but good value

We merely stayed here on our way to catch a flight out. 
It's not located in the center of the town but there's a MCDonald's nearby. Seems like Super8 hotels in China like to be near McDonald's. If you join their membership, you'll get a 10rmb off the rate. Great if you plan to use their hotels throughout China. 
I actually chose the cheapest room, 88rmb/night and was pleasantly surprised that it was on a high floor with a small kitchen and a big enough bed. I thought it was a good deal. Opposite this hotel has a number of noodles shops.
