SsansansanLet me start by saying, the front desk team was incredible! So kind and helpful! They helped me with my taobao parcels, even helped to pick up one and return too, I’ll never forget their kindness, incredible staff!
The hotel is placed in a building, where other hotels are based too. So when you see multiple hotels with same address, it’s cuz they are all in one building.
The first room I got, the washing machine there wasn’t working unfortunately but the lady in the front desk quickly got me another room (which was also supposed to have a washing machine but it didn’t lol) but I loved the view and accepted the room nonetheless haha it was massive!
Communications take place over WeChat. If you need daily cleaning, just message them by 11am (I think).
They’d provide two bottles of water each day and replaced towels and other amenities (toothbrush and paste, comb, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, detergent) if necessary, if cleaning requested. Overall, I found the rooms sufficiently clean, and bed was comfortable, AC and water temperature all good.
I’d say the main downside for me was the toilet, the smart toilet with bidet wasn’t working unfortunately 😣 but flushing was working “manually”. There’s a huge bathtub in the room, didn’t use it personally but if you fancy a bath with a view, you got one. The actual wet shower space was a bit old too but not too off putting. I think a few renovations will do good to the room.
There’s a convenience store right outside.
Also, to any Muslim considering this place, I’d say it’s a very ideal location for halal food options! Literally 15mins walk away (tho beware of the stairs but it’s Chongqing so that’s expected haha). There are a ton of halal food restaurants (hotpot, bbq, just noodles). There are even couple of stores selling halal snacks. Pro-tip: look for the words 清真 Qīngzhēn - which basically indicates halal.
In general, the hotel is very close proximity to many famous spots, the 18stairs/shibati was just next to the restaurants. The well monument is literally opposite the building, looks pretty cool. I pretty much walked everywhere - 20/25mins to go honggya cave, jifangbei pedestrian street on foot. Obviously, public transportation is available and it’s very convenient and affordable. The metro stations are literally 8/10mins away, might seem a lot but genuinely it isn’t that much.
Loved my stay there and will absolutely stay there again if I visit! Again, big shoutout to the front desk, thanks for your help!!!! W. Definitely recommend.
Also the last three photos are from the first room I was given. Apologies for the blurry images, had to take screenshots from a very fast video.
