This time, because I had to catch the early flight at 6:30 in the morning, I specifically booked my accommodation at Joyhub Cheer Hotel chengdu. Previously, I heard from a friend that it was only a few minutes' walk from the terminal and was too friendly for those who had to catch the early flight. After checking in, I realized that this convenience was even more considerate than I expected.
I only landed at Tianfu Airport after 1am, dragging my suitcase and following the "Hotel" sign in the terminal building. I didn't take any long detours and stood in the hotel lobby in fifteen minutes. The warm yellow lights still lit up in the lobby late at night, and the front desk staff showed no signs of fatigue. After checking the information, they specifically reminded me that breakfast would start at 5:30, so there was no need to worry about catching a flight and not being able to eat in time. After completing the procedures and walking towards the room, I found that on one side of this building is the Yuexiang Hotel, and on the other side is the higher positioned Yunxiang Hotel. The two share the lobby and supporting facilities, but they maintain their own independent check-in routes and do not disturb each other at all.
The first feeling when I open the door is that it is spacious and bright. The newly renovated room in 2021 has no sense of antiquity, and the modern and elegant style looks particularly comfortable. What surprised me the most was the spatial layout. The bathing area, bathroom, and bedroom were designed with three separate areas, so even if two people use them at the same time, they will not interfere with each other. The airport noise issue that I was most worried about before did not appear here at all. After closing the windows, the movements of planes taking off and landing outside were almost completely isolated. Even if I lived in a room facing the elevated bridge, I could only hear the slightest sound of traffic at night, and I slept particularly soundly all night.
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, I went downstairs to the second floor to have breakfast on time. I thought that the meals at this time would only be simple steamed buns Mantou, but I didn't expect that the variety was more than expected. The freshly cooked braised pork intestines noodles at the Ming Dynasty window were the highlight of the entire event. The pork intestines were stewed until soft and flavorful, and a mouthful was filled with the freshness and aroma of Sichuan cuisine. The ingredients for the dishes were also well prepared, including the Sichuan style pork chops and spicy noodles. In addition, the cordyceps flower mixed pork belly shreds in the cold dish area are crisp and chewy, with bread, seasonal vegetables, fruits, yogurt, and coffee readily available. Even passengers on international flights can enjoy themselves here.
After breakfast, I didn't rush to leave. Instead, I printed my boarding pass and checked my luggage on the self-service check-in device in the hotel lobby, saving me the trouble of queuing up at the terminal. When checking out, the front desk handed me an Easy Boarding service voucher, which allowed me to take the fast security checkpoint. I walked slowly for five minutes and entered the terminal without any embarrassment of rushing to catch a flight.
As a business traveler who flies to various places all year round, I have stayed in many hotels around airports, many of which require me to wait for the shuttle bus half an hour or even an hour in advance, and it is easy to miss the flight during peak hours. And Joyhub Cheer Hotel chengduthe combination of 'walkable to the terminal+late night friendly+early bird breakfast+convenient check-in' perfectly hits all the pain points of the transfer and early flight crowd. Next time I come to Tianfu Airport, I will definitely make it my first choice for staying here.Show more
