This hotel is a good 3 star hotel, breakfast is good for chinese
but poor for westeners, (take your own from the supermarket),
The rooms are a little dated, and small. but overall cosy and clean.
The hotel is located on top of the mountain at hongyadong center.
For tourists a nice place to visit, many souvenir shops, and restaurants
also open in the evening, for a stroll...and a bite!
One tip!, take a room not close to the hongyadong shops, they make
a lot of noise in banging some food with an hamer outside...........
over and over again........
Greetings A.P.

Large room with all the luxuries - bath robes, big bath, etc. And the food streets just a few levels down from the hotel are a lot of fun. We paid around US$45 a night. A bargain! Great location too, for most sight-seeing. I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else if I go back to Chongqing.

I stayed there for a night in late Oct, supposed to be "cooler". however the lobby itself was one big warm oven. Check-in is pretty slow, about 20 mins for a group of 20 pax - has they need guests to produce their passports for verification.

Has only 2 lifts to service the hotel floors - so its relatively slow.

Realised the rooms were split up into 2 stages - the first half stretch of the corridor has warm lights & more oriental feel. after a mini lobby, the remaining stretch is more modern, with artefacts lined along the corridor.

Spacious & clean room. HUge standing showers (possibly can contain 6 pax). however the disappointing portion is the aircon. the setting is at 25degrees, but we do not feel any cool air. when we called the reception, they told us that they had in fact switched on the warmer. and as the system is centralized, they could not do anyting about it. in the end, we had no choice but to ask for a fan. good thing is, they were very responsive, a fan was sent to our room within 10 mins (thou we are at the far end)

As the food street is nearby, the smell is rather evident in our room. Was told my the others that the smell was overwhelming when they opened the window for some air (as the room was too hot)

We enjoyed our two night stay at this hotel. It can't be beat in terms of character. It is part of a historic "mall" which clings to the side of a hill. There are local food and craft stalls, as well as some restaurants and bars within the complex. The hotel occupies the top floors. The room was Asian contemporary, and would have cost $300+ per night in the US. The location of this hotel is great, and it is nice to look out onto the river from the common sitting rooms or from a river-side room. Our only complaint was that we were placed in a room in the back of the hotel so we did not have a view. But since we were gone most of the day, it wasn't a problem.
