2-Star Hotels in Chongqing, China

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way and made the whole trip incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Even before check-in, the staff proactively contacted me, provided detailed transportation guidance, and made sure I knew exactly how to get there. The location is outstanding — literally right next to the subway station. Once you exit the station, the hotel is just there. It’s also in the heart of the city, making it extremely convenient to reach all major attractions, shopping areas, and restaurants. Another thing I really appreciated was their flexibility with check-in. If the previous guest checked out early, the staff would quickly prepare and clean the room so guests could check in earlier than the official check-in time, which was incredibly helpful. The hotel also offers luggage storage and even provides a microwave for guests to use. Inside the room, there was basically everything you could need. The refrigerator was surprisingly large, the room itself was spacious, exceptionally clean, and beautifully designed. Considering the price, the value for money is outstanding. What impressed me the most was the service. The staff kindly helped me reserve a Michelin one-star restaurant in Chengdu, which normally requires a Chinese phone number and is known to be quite difficult to book. Thanks to their help, I was able to enjoy an amazing dining experience without any hassle. Their support truly made my trip much more convenient and memorable. There are only two minor downsides: The hotel is located inside a building with a lot of people coming and going, and there are only a few elevators serving many floors. If you stay on a higher floor, you may need to wait quite a while for the elevator and sometimes it gets crowded. The shower area is a bit small. However, compared with all the advantages, these are very minor issues. Overall, this hotel is absolutely worth the price and I highly recommend staying here. Honestly, part of me doesn’t even want to recommend it because I’m afraid too many people will discover this hidden gem!

1. The curtains on the top bunk let in light, and I suspect it's not just the top bunk; the bottom bunk curtains are also too short. 2. The headboards on the beds are covered in this stuff, looks really dirty. Basic hygiene standards weren't met. 3. There were no bath towels in the room. I asked friends who'd stayed here before, and they said you have to request them yourself, and they're very small. 4. No toiletries were provided in the bathroom, just one bottle of Head & Shoulders that might have been left by a previous guest. 5. The hairdryer was awful, very weak airflow. 6. At night, I could hear the sound of some machinery running in the room; it was very noisy and really affected my sleep. 7. Perhaps it's because they have cats, but the whole hostel smelled terrible. I won't say more. Overall, the experience was very poor, and I won't be coming back. The price was low, so I'm not giving an extremely low rating.

The hotel it's in the middle of the attraction places you can go by walking and discovering the city the room hygiene is perfect the price is so affordable and the experience was wonderful I almost forgot the staff is SUPER friendly

The room facilities are very new and clean. The window offers a river view, and Hongyadong is right downstairs. You just cross the road and you're at the top level of Hongyadong. The night view is also beautiful. Highly recommended! Thanks to the air conditioning, it didn't feel humid even by the river. There were a lot of cars downstairs, so there was some noise, but it didn't bother me. However, some light sleepers might find it an issue.

”We received very clear instructions via WeChat beforehand regarding the hotel's location, which made our arrival very smooth and easy. The hotel itself looks incredibly neat and clean. To our surprise, the room was also very spacious! But the absolute highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the view. It was truly beautiful, and the city view at night is absolutely amazing. Additionally, the location is fantastic: the hotel is located right next to the famous Chongqing Hongya Cave, which is just a few minutes' walk away. In short: I highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Chongqing!”

Cleanliness: As expected, the room was cleaned thoroughly and was comfortable. They were very thoughtful and attentive, even providing extra bottled water, which was a lovely touch. Environment: The location is excellent, right near Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, making it super convenient to get around. It's in the city center but still very quiet and peaceful at night. Service: The attitude was alright, decent. Having a self-service washer and dryer was very convenient. Facilities: Very satisfied with the thoughtful and attentive facilities. There's air conditioning, a refrigerator, and smart features. The only thing is it's quite high up, on the 41st floor, with a direct view of the WFC building.

The hotel has a great location, less than a minute's walk from the mountain trails and the Shibatidi Scenic Area. The rooms are high up with great views, including the Yangtze River, and the night view is especially beautiful. The receptionist was also very helpful, giving us many recommendations for good places to eat and have fun.

First impression upon entering the room: very clean and tidy. The front desk staff escorted us to our room, explained how to get around, and went over all the check-in details. They also showed us how to use the projector. The entire room is smart-enabled; you just need to say 'Xiao Du' (the voice assistant) to control everything, which is incredibly convenient. The service is also very thoughtful; if we needed anything, we could contact them via WeChat, and they'd respond quickly. We were also able to store our luggage after check-out.

This is genuinely the best B&B I've ever stayed at. The moment you walk in, there's a faint, pleasant fragrance. The toilets are smart, and they even provide disposable toilet seat covers. There's also a mini-fridge and a washing machine that can also dry clothes, plus a bathtub. They offer disposable, transparent raincoats for free use over the tub. Everything is disposable, and all items in the room are complimentary. I'll definitely be recommending this B&B to all my friends from now on. The service is excellent, and the staff are all incredibly kind and gentle.
