Apartment Somerset Riverview Chengdu  

28 Mar 2025

The hotel is directly on the river and there is a pleasant river walk. We didn’t figure it out in time but there were ride share bikes nearby and it would have been great to ride along the river. Near the entry is a cafe (we didn’t try) and a small convenience store. Restaurants and shops around 1-2 blocks away- cross over river. Around 10 mins walk. Tip- there is a street in the block across the river that sells pets and the fish tanks lit up at night are cool to see! Security-Doorman at elevator/ground floor. As the lobby is on an upper level the doorman will swipe the card for the lift when you first arrive. Breakfast- go straight to chef at window and order from there! So good! The rest is average. Gym was well equipped, I didn’t use it though. Pool area- feels a bit neglected and worn. The water wasn’t warm. Rooftop- for views, not appealing to spend a lot of time. We booked a studio premier and for the most part it reflected the pictures. We were on the 33rd floor (34th is top). We got the room we booked. Overall very comfortable and clean. Signs of wear in kitchen and bathroom. Bed is so comfortable and huge. Nice linens. A very good night’s sleep here! Lots of storage. We had a city view. Kitchen looks equipped for simple meals but we only used kettle and fridge. Very quiet. They took a deposit of around $150. I paid with my credit card, refunded after around 10 days. After refund, cost was around $15 more than quoted inc taxes in booking so not sure if this was a card fee on their side. We didn’t have or use anything extra. Out of 6 hotels we stayed at on our trip only 2 asked for deposits. Overall good value. Chengdu is an awesome and easy city to explore and I highly recommend it!

Beautiful place to stay. Spacious apartment. Comfortable bed. Great restaurant and breakfast with plenty of choice. 20 minute walk to Anshun Bridge, night life, bars and restaurants. Staff were friendly, although we needed the translation app to communicate properly. We read other reviews that said the bathroom was smelly. This wasn’t the case for us. The only smell we noticed was in the street, strong car fumes, but Chengdu IS the 4th largest city in China. There is a laundry with free washing machine and dryer. A roof top garden and outdoor seating. A swimming pool that doesn’t seem to be advertised much and we almost got lost trying to find it, pool table and gym. There is construction work still going on but we were on the 20th floor and didn’t hear a thing.

The staff here are very helpful about enquiries around places to eat and buy things in Chengdu (the local market the person manning the entrance suggested was a great look into local produce) Check in process is fast and smooth, we've checked in 3 times over 2 weeks as we used this hotel as a central hub for our trip around Sichuan Kelly was there for most if not all of our check in, and she was extremely friendly and professional She remembered the different areas we were leaving to and would check in to see how we found each destination The washer and dryer in each room is extremely convenient, and even if the room is missing a dryer, they have a laundry room on the 20th and 24th floor that you can use at your convenience The shower pressure is nice and quick to reach the right temperature The beds are very comfortable, not too hard and not too soft There are 2 metro entrances nearby, and you can reach local attractions quite easily The front desk can also call you a taxi that arrives quickly if that's what you prefer 7-ll is just downstairs by the river, as well as a nice local breakfast spot Overall, I would definitely stay here again if I visit Chengdu in the future

Rooms were big but old-fashioned. No heating therefore cold but okay as we did not stayed all day in.

There is breakfast available every morning 6.30 to 10am. The location was very close to a metro station which made it very convenient. The staff was very nice especially Ivy. You can get some free fridge magnets that are very cute and hotel exclusive. One of our suitcases had a loose screw, and the handyman came and helped me replace the screw and keep it secure in place. Room was also very big!
