Take A Nap Hotel

Took a long time to find had to go through immigration (not mentioned on the site at all) so may have been better finding a local hotel and we could have checked out a lot later. Difficult to find and no signposting to help. Pod was clean but no signs of any air conditioning so did get hot. I thought I’d paid through Expedia but was asked to pay at the pods. People left big suitcases with the staff at the front desk (it was a little cramped with our hand luggage) A lot loud snoring in pod above ear plugs helped somewhat Good friendly staff No toilets but good to use disabled ones where you can have a wash

Very convenient location. Very cean room. Friendly staff.

The hotel is right inside the airport. In terminal two. It is intended to be a stopping place when you have a long layover, not a place to reside for any long period of time. For example, there is no shower and the bathroom is literally down the hall in the terminal, not inside the hotel. You book by twelve hour periods. But if you have a long layover, it's a fabulous opportunity. I would absolutely stay there again.

very convinient for short transition time in airport

Capsule hotel at Chengdu Tianfu international airport (not Chengdu Shuangliu, where there is another one). The hotel is in Terminal 2 (T2), at the north end of the Arrivals level (when walking from T1 to T2, turn left when you reach T2, and the hotel is on the right after 100 meters just past the police office). The staff there do not really speak English. They talk into a mobile phone in Chinese, which translates to English text. The sleeping pods themselves are comfortable and clean. A swipe card is already inserted next to a central console used to control all of the lights. Remove this card if leaving the pod, and use this to regain entry. To slide the door open from the inside, press down the metal bolt holding it shut. To operate the interior lights, insert the swipe card into the centre controller console in the pod, and press buttons on the controller. Use the public toilets outside the hotel. Because the hotel is before security, if you are using it to sleep between flights, as a transit hotel, you will need to immigrate into China to get to it if arriving at T1 (international). To do this when you land, at Arrivals first go to the fingerprint machines, insert your passport, and it will output a slip (without requiring me to present my fingers as a UK citizen). Then at the Immigration desks, on the right is a section to apply for a temp visa. Fill in the landing card, putting the address of this hotel, and give it to the guy to check.
