This is a great hotel with a beautiful view

This is an excellent hotel in a fantastic location with great access to local transport and tourist sites. The hotel itself is located on floors 26-28 of the Pride of Times building; views from the rooms are incredible, and the hotel's lobby balcony provides a pleasant area to look out over the lights of modern Chongqing in the evening. This is also an option for the Saturday drone shows. The staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay. They provided recommendations for local food, as well as extra water and a limited daily clothes washing service. They were very accommodating of a late checkout for our evening flight schedule. For those coming via the metro: get off at Chaotianmen on Line 1, take exit 4 up a short escalator, then go up the long escalator on your left. The hotel's building will be right in front of you. Easy access through the same subway to everything around Chongqing's old city. The hotel itself doesn't offer breakfast, but there's a large food hall just next to Chaotianmen station - head back down via Exit 4 and it's impossible to miss. The one thing to be aware of is that the elevators up to the hotel floors are a bit worn and can be very crowded. I recommend taking the express routes stopping on even or odd floors for most of your stay - it will be much faster than the central shaft which stops on each level. The main lobby is on floor 27, and all rooms can be accessed via a separate dedicated elevator that services the hotel from floor 27.

This review falls into two sections. Initial impressions Room facilities Upon arrival at 0100 we had difficulty entering the complex and had to wait 25 minutes for the representative to arrive. This complex consisted of two high rise towers and appeared very dated. Once inside the walk to my apartment was dirty, dark and there was a musty smell. I was very concerned and under normal circumstances I would have walked out. However once inside the apartment I found it clean. In summary I would not stay there again it’s only suitable for young backpackers. Anyone over 25 avoid.
