We stayed at Xiyada River View Hotel (Chongqing Guanyinqiao Beibin Road Branch) and were quite satisfied with our experience overall. The hotel has a very convenient location — the metro station is just a short walk away, which made getting around Chongqing easy and efficient.
The building is tall (49 floors), but thankfully there are plenty of elevators, so waiting time was minimal. Before our arrival, the hotel contacted us in advance to inform us that there was ongoing renovation work in the building, which might cause some noise, and also let us know that the hot water runs through a heater — so we would need to wait about 30 minutes between showers. We really appreciated the proactive communication.
Our room was very spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. However, one disappointment was that we had booked a river view room through the app, but upon check-in, we were told that the reserved room didn’t include a river view after all. Unfortunately, our limited Chinese wasn’t enough to understand the full explanation.
The service was great — the staff were helpful and polite. All communication was done through WeChat, as the staff do not speak English, but they tried their best to assist us. The hotel itself looks new and well maintained.
Overall, considering the price and quality, this hotel is a great choice for travelers looking for a clean, well-located place to stay in Chongqing.
