Wanyou Conifer Hotel was very good. Reception and room services were excellent. Food was excellent and conference rooms were very good. Swimming pool and spa were also excellent. Rooms were excellent. Overall hotel was very good for stay as well as for organizing conferences. We enjoyed our conference as well as our stay at this hotel at Chongqing and we will like to stay again here in future.

Great hotel with an incredible staff. Great service and location. Beautiful pool. We felt at home.

Agree with Chinese reviewers. Ok for China. I found room adequately clean, but nothing special. Fairly close to subway. Free internet, free breakfast on 3rd floor with usual variety of both Chinese and Western foods, average quality (warning, they don't automatically tell you about the breakfast, and there are not breakfast coupons, just show up). Somewhat older and darker than other hotels. old fashion bedside control panel for lights, which is a little annoying. beds are typical china, very hard, no mattress really, so if this matters to you don't come (I found it fine). Towels are very thick. Old fashion tv, but adequate, gets many english stations (HBO, CNN, etc.) DOES have english speaking staff although as is frequent, quality varies. Shower is ok, good heat, but older showerhead so hard to control. Doors are very thin, so any noise in hallway is in your room, but it was quiet when I was there.
There is a spartan gym and a reasonable pool, but hours are typical china, not ideal (opens after 12n).

Overall, somewhat better than best western in US. For china is definitely ok.

I visit this hotel regularly, almost every week during most of 2005 to eat in one of two restuarants. Staff do speak English, especially the buffet manager on the 3rd floor. While I can't vouch for the rooms the hotel is in no way rundown either inside or out with very clean bathroom facilities avaiable.

This hotel regularly hosts foreigners who are in Chongqing to adopt babies before returning to many different countries of origin and English is the common language spoken. While they have a translater with them they are not there all the time. I have personally heard the concierge staff speaking English and some of them even speak to me while I wait for friends in the Lobby.

Don't write it off if this is where you are offered to stay. While not 'downtown' it is conveniently located between most of the major CBD's of Chongqing
