Chongqing hotels & places to stay

Great hostel. One of the nicest ive ever been to. Staff helpful and helped us book a Yangtze River boat 2 day trip. Food and dining options in hostel are great. The lounge area has a bar and pool table plus DVDs and special events. The hostel is near the metro and close to the shopping district. You have to walk up the hill about 5 minutes. Hostel is located in a tall apartment building on 4th floor across a parking lot. Looks strange from outside but once inside its very nice. Beware you have to walk up 4 flights of stairs and no elevator. The view from the rooms in the back are pretty cool. It overlooks the old part of the city with crumbling buildings and the river. Not much to see in Chongqing itself. It's pretty dirty and gritty but not unsafe. Only things to do are eat hotpot (it's very hot) and take the cable car across the Yangtze River.

If you're looking for a hotel, then skip this place. It's a hostel. Since it's a hostel it also has dorms and communal bathrooms along with DIY laundry facilities and a train and airplane booking service. Anyway, we opted for a private room. The first room they gave us had mold (wife is allergic) so they switched us to a different room. The hot water dispenser down the hallway was broken for a day and the toilet tank in our room wouldn't refill unless you filled it yourself with the shower. I peeked in the dorms and they seemed to be in better condition. Where the hostel lacks in its level of room quality, it makes up for with its very knowledgeable staff. They were able to tell us where to go around town and recommend good places to have hotpot -- Chonging's famous dish. Also, it has a little black cat wandering the hallways looking for a bed to take a nap in. Very friendly and wears a sweater. If I were to book this place again, I'd opt for a dorm bunk. They seem to be in better condition.

Almost the ideal hostel - they thought of everything. Metro stop is just a 1 minute walk behind the hostel (no noise) and a 24 hr store nearaby. Staff is wonderful. Owner takes the time to welcome you. Sits down with you to show you what to do in Chongqing - even hand draws maps including Chinese in case you get lost. Dorms are fine. Stayed in 8 person dorm and besides typical smell was clean. Bathrooms are clean and include free shampoo/soap. Water pressure will literally blow you away and plenty of hot water. They have a nice little cafe with a barista. There's plenty of couches, a pool table, and I think I saw a foosball table too. Overall, a great place to stay when you're in Chongqing.

The hostel is quite new, renovated a year ago. It is really clean, shoes have to be taken off before entering the hostel. The whole unit is air conditioned, desk and chairs are clean and cozy! The location is splendid, which is just 1 minute walk to the JieFangBei walking street, 30 seconds walk to the subway station. Staff is really nice, gave me great recommendations on my travel plans. They even helped book the cruise tickets which is REALLY CHEAP compared to others. Great service and great experience!

Negatives - room was very warm when I arrived and I could not get the aircon working. I didn't ask but I have a feeling it gets switched off. At other times the room was cold (December)but no way of heating it up. Location may be a problem for some - getting a taxi not to much of a problem as you are on the right side of a busy causeway. Getting one home always meant that you had to cross the road - either by being dropped off by the nearest bridge, or by crossing the road itself. I had no problem with this but if you have children or carry heavy bags bear this in mind - it's not so bad late at night. Metro was closer than expected - just a 5-6 min walk. Hotel is also about 10 mins walk from Eling park entrance (Nice place to spend half a day)where there are lots of restaurants and a couple of convenience stores. Otherwise there are no shops nearby so be aware that you can't just pop out for something you need. Rooms are basic but clean. Internet Ok - I have learnt not to expect good internet in Chinese hotels. I didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment. Staff were lovely so I would be happy to stay again.

The room was clean and boasts a magnificent view of the river, and in the mornings you get greeted with the foggy but nonetheless majestic view of the high-rises across the river. The hotel is roughly 800m away from liang lu kou train station, the one with the really long escalator. (Quite honestly, the train station itself is worth a visit just for the sake of HuangGuan Escalator even if you're not taking the train.) The only thing is that more often than not when we took a taxi back to the hotel, the cabbies would drop us on the opposite side of the road, and crossing the road via the zebra-crossing (no traffic lights) is a bit overwhelming. Try to tag along closely behind someone else who is also crossing the road if you can, although you might find that sometimes they are the ones trying to follow your lead! ;)

Great lcentral ocation at Nanping city centre with underground subway with cinema and Starbucks in same building Rooms are huge and well equipped, comfortable beds. Had 7 nights stay here, moving from 7 Days Inn Jiefangbei where rooms were smaller and older Great amenities in 5 mins walk distance, with Parksons Department Store, Starlight Mall, Bai Lian Mall and Wanda Plaza. Excellent eateries, pedestrian food street offering choice of local Chongqing cuisines, local snacks and superb bakery shops Will return without doubt

I had difficult time when i tried to find a hotel for a girl traveling alone (can speak some mandarin). I initially wondered whether this hotel was safe or not, but after i stayed 3 nights there. It look scary in the first place, but it was not as bad as i thought. The staffs are nice. The room is simple and has basic things for tourists. There are other businesses operated in the same buildings. no lobby as previous comment ( thank you for your comment ). Anyway, it is acceptable for me. You might book a tour on the next counter (I booked somewhere else). Preparing earplugs is a good thing since you might hear other people speaking through the walls. ^^ To find the hotel, I would recommend sticking to the "Milky way hotel (Yin He Jiu Dian)", then just turn right at the crossroad. The hotel is just next to Lawson (opening 24 hours). Most local people will know the Milky way hotel. They will confuse if you ask for the 7days inn because there are tons of them in the city.

Perfect location ,just opposite the Wulong Kasite Tourist area and can get the bus to wulong in front of the hotel . Because of accident on the way to wulong ,we 're arrived hotel at the midnight ,staff still there behind the counter to help us check-in (she can't speak English but google translate can help us ) . Baggage storage 's available here after check-out . Reasonable prices.

Well, if you could endure a room without windows, book it. I hate the fact that they didn't mention anything about windows, so everyone would take it for granted that each room has a window. The location is good for sure. You can walk to the most famous tourist spot in a few minutes. Cleanness is a problem also. I see the floor is dirty and I guess it's not easy to mop it to a very good condition due to the poor material of the floor.

Really friendly staff, especially if you can speak Mandarin or Chongqing dialect — that got me a sweet upgrade! Great location, super cheap, very basic rooms but clean and all you'll need. This place is a one kilometer walk to the famous Liziba station where the sky train station is located actually inside an apartment building. One thing to look out for though is that this hotel, while under the Hanting banner online, is actually a different name. You will see a stairway with the Hanting sign, but you can't enter there and instead need to enter the hotel to the left.

the hotel is located on two floors within a two year old 30 story building. the building is located within a very large plaza, which also contains a very large two story shopping mall and cinema. across the street are five adjoining major chinese banks, which includes the icbc bank, which is china's largest bank and also within the top 5 world banks. there is a subway entrance about 100 yards from the building's entrance, which goes to both the airport and the high-speed train station. the subway is also very new and clean. taxi service in chongqing is very convenient and inexpensive. there is a taxi stand across the street from the subway entrance. the chinese manager of the hotel also speaks english.

They can speak English fluently which is really useful for the foreigner. It's hard to find people who can speak English well around that area, so this hotel is so recommended for travelers who can't speak Chinese. Their service is so exceptional! They can help you out about your travel plan, just only tell them so you will not miss anything. The room is so clean and safely. All equipments are in perfect condition. You will not have to worry about dangerous people, and people in the hotel are so nice! I'd say that my plans wouldn't be complete without her help! Thank you so much for your warmly welcome! It's the best decision choosing this this hotel. Worth every dozen you spend! P.s. They didn't pay me for this, but I've gotten so awesome experience while I was staying there, so I was really impressed and highly recommend this hotel for everyone!

I arrived chongqing domestic airport around midnight. 2 Thai girls, cannot speak chiness but I print out hotel address and location, very important for telephone number. At midnight taxi will have special rate but i think it is acceptable. Room very clean with good bathroom and warm water. In the morning, hotel staff offer me an assistant to explain taxi driver for my destination. Love it! will return again in future.
