New Chengdu hotel- the Samsara?

Just wondering if anyone here has heard of/seen/stayed in the Samsara Hotel in Chengdu? There are a few reviews in Chinese (which I'm not that good at reading) but it sounds like it's really new (opened this year) and rated 4 - 5 stars but charging about 1/3 of the price of other 4-5 star hotels in the city. Too good a bargain to be true?

Depends on your definition of a bargain, I guess. elong and SinoHotel are offering most rooms at around 500-700 RMB. It's appears fairly well booked up now through the National Day holidays, so I guess they're doing something right. Pretty good location, albeit better for business than tourism. Traffic's pretty hellish around the Luomashi area of downtown. Did you Google "samsara hotel chengdu"? No shortage of results...including the hotel's English-language website.
