I recently stayed at a hotel in Chongqing that's located inside a tall office building — quite a unique setup, as the building houses multiple hotels. One of the highlights is the top-floor viewing deck, which offers a magnificent view of Chongqing’s skyline. Definitely a bonus if you enjoy city views!
The main reason I chose this hotel was its proximity to the MRT. While it’s technically near an exit (only about 100m), the actual walk to the train platform is around 600–800m. Plus, the MRT exit has no escalator or lift, so carrying luggage up and down can be quite a struggle. Because of this, my wife and I opted for taxis most of the time — the fares were usually just twice the MRT fare and saved us a lot of time and effort.
The location is very convenient though, being near Jiefangbei, the central part of Chongqing. One of the best parts of the hotel was the bathtub, which we really enjoyed during our 2-night stay. It fills a bit slowly but it works well with hot water.
As for the room:
The bed was okay — not the most comfortable, but manageable.
My wife found the pillows too soft, and unfortunately, they couldn’t provide a firmer one or a second blanket when we asked.
Daily housekeeping was a plus — the room was kept clean and slippers were restocked.
However, the air-conditioning system is centrally controlled. You’ll need to inform the receptionist if you want to switch between heating and cooling, as you can’t adjust it yourself.
The TV is actually a projector setup, which is interesting but may not be for everyone.
The view from the room was great, though we didn’t prioritize it.
The private bathroom was clean, but the public toilet area outside the room (shared areas) wasn’t well-maintained.
Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few quirks. I wouldn’t say everything was perfect, but for the location and the bathtub, it’s still a solid option to consider if you’re staying in the city.
