Booking though TCG booking centre was smooth; I was able to understand the emails sent by the staff. However, would appreciate being notified if there is a change in the rates (especially to a lower rate). I went to the website and apparently the rate dropped for the same period and I had to ask TCG if i'm eligible for the new rate.

1) the staff do not speak English, which makes it quite difficult to communicate. Fortunately, I had a local friend who helped me out with the communication problem. From the hotel side, the only one who could speak very little English was the security guard!

2) there should be more information on the location of this hotel on the booking confirmation sheet. I relied on the Chinese-written address that you provided me and showed this address on the booking confirmation sheet to my local friend. My local friend had difficulty identifying the address location at first, even with asking many people around. Chengdu is a large city. Fortunately, there was the hotel phone number, so we could call the hotel to find out more about their whereabouts. What happen if I had taken a public taxi and the taxi driver could not relate to the address provided? Besides the street address, the hotel should also tell in which part of the city the address is, or near what landmark building nearby.

I believe I have a good experience booking a hotel through Travel China Guide booking centre.

Best regards,
