Seeing the giant pandas in person was definitely the highlight of my visit. They are even more adorable than I expected!The environment is lovely, and there is so much to explore. It’s a perfect place to spend a few hours, whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or even on your own.One small suggestion would be to allow yourself plenty of time to explore everything without rushing.

Chongqing Two Rivers Cruise

1821 reviewsAn amazing way to see the cityscape of Chongqing! The ride is about 45 minutes and you get ample time to enjoy the different sides and views. There are additional VIP etc areas also in the boat you can pay for if you want to, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Getting to the dock for Honyadong is the most difficult part due to the large number of people in the area taking photos of the site. But this is to be expected !
Boarding & Travel Tips for International Visitors
Note: AI-generated image. Only for reference.
- Double-Check Station Names: Chongqing’s main stations are situated across distinct locations in different districts. Therefore, you must always confirm what your ticket says. Whether it says Chongqingbei (North), Chongqingdong (East), Chongqingxi (West), or Shapingba. Reaching the wrong station can cost you 60+ minutes in traffic. Sometimes even more!
- Keep Your Passport Handy: You must keep your passport handy as you will have to show your travel documents at various points, including the station entrance, ticket counter, and the platform gate.
- Arrive Early for Security Checks: Railway stations in China enforce airport-style security screenings. These include baggage X-rays and passport validation. Hence, plan to arrive at the station at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to departure, particularly during peak travel hours or national holidays.
- Luggage Dimensions: High-speed trains allow each passenger to carry baggage up to 20 kg (44 lbs). Overhead racks and baggage spaces at the ends of carriages accommodate standard suitcases comfortably.
- Download Offline Maps: Mobile reception may be intermittent or poor on the underground levels of some stations. Therefore, download offline maps in advance. Get a China eSIM for your trip to enjoy uninterrupted connectivity.
Note: Prices are approximate and may change at any time. Travelers are recommended to check the latest prices before traveling.

Exceeded expectations! As a Wyndham brand, the quality is definitely reassuring. The room features a minimalist modern design and was spotlessly clean. The bedding was exceptionally comfortable with a mattress of just the right firmness—after a long day out, coming back to lie down and instantly relax was the best ~~
I have to give a special shoutout to the breakfast! The Chinese and Western buffet selection is extremely rich, complete with Chinese congee, steamed buns, and stir-fried dishes, plus freshly boiled Chongqing noodles where you can add your own toppings. The first-floor café has a very cozy vibe, making it a lovely spot to sit down and rest. The coffee I ordered looked great and tasted fantastic~~~
The location is super convenient, right across from Ziwei Road—perfect for grabbing a drink or browsing small boutiques in the evening. It's not far from Guanyinqiao and close to the subway station. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Chongqing~~~FromAED 133

This was a really great value for money experience. The location is super convenient; it's easy to catch a taxi to the airport or any of the attractions quickly. There are also many local and authentic snack restaurants near the hotel. The service and attitude were excellent, and the mint water in the lobby was delicious! Breakfast was also very tasty, and even buying it separately, it was still worth the price.
The only minor drawback was that the air conditioning felt a bit old and the airflow was a little weak, but overall, it was fantastic!FromAED 205

This time, to visit Chongqing with my son, choosing the JW Marriott was absolutely the right decision. From the geographic location to the hotel environment and service, everything was top-notch. I want to especially thank all the staff at the Concierge Department. One night, I came back intoxicated, and several colleagues from the concierge department personally escorted me back to my room. This hotel's concierge service is undoubtedly the best I've ever encountered and definitely deserves recognition from the hotel management. Every day, come rain or shine, they are outside, greeting guests with a smile, making everyone feel right at home. It's truly exceptional! Additionally, the front desk and housekeeping services are also first-class. I've even written positive comments with pictures.FromAED 372

Jiefangbei Area/Hong Ya Dong Chongqing|3.56km from city centre
Location: Situated inside Chongqing's landmark 'Grand Sail' building, directly above Raffles City and with direct metro access. Within walking distance to Chaotianmen, Hongyadong, Jiefangbei, and the pier. There are three hotels in the 'Sail' building: InterContinental Raffles City, Hotel Indigo, and Ascott. Ascott is wholly owned by CapitaLand, the developer of Raffles City, so its quality is undoubtedly top-notch.
Facilities: Positioned as a serviced apartment, the public areas are compact yet comfortable and practical. The lobby offers complimentary tea and fresh flowers. A significant portion of the public space is dedicated to guests. The gym is well-equipped with at least two treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes, as well as a full set of resistance machines. There's also a yoga room with river views, comparable to a small commercial gym. It provides hot/cold water, sanitizing wipes, towels, and even headphones with sterilized covers. The swimming pool was closed during our two-day stay, so we hope to check it out next time.
Below the hotel is Raffles City's urban garden, leading directly to a river-view platform – a peaceful oasis amidst the bustle.
Room: We were fortunate to be upgraded to a two-bedroom suite, so spacious it was astounding. It features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a bathtub in the master. It includes a washer and dryer, perfect for families. The kitchen is fully equipped with a built-in microwave, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and range hood. A complete set of dishes and cookware is provided. The facilities are excellently maintained; the microwave and oven looked almost unused.
The room offers a pillow menu and abundant storage space.
Due to its unique location, Ascott's rooms offer either unbeatable river views, stunning city views, or like ours, views of both.
Service: Special thanks to Miss Genny at the front desk, who was incredibly patient during our check-in, attentively asked about our needs, and efficiently arranged our room. We arrived early, intending only to store our luggage, but to our surprise, we received our room key immediately. We are very grateful.
All hotel staff were exceptionally proactive, friendly, and helpful – carrying luggage, greeting us upon sight, making us feel right at home. The staff member on the ground floor was also wonderful, assisting with getting in and out of cars/moving luggage and patiently giving directions.
Overall, a very satisfying stay.FromAED 466

Great value for money! The hotel is located right next to the Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, making it very convenient to visit Hongyadong, Chaotianmen, Raffles City, and the Yangtze River Cableway. There's a snack street right downstairs. There are multiple hotels in the same building, and this one is situated on the upper-middle floors (around the 25th floor), offering affordable prices and great views. It's very quiet once the windows are closed, and room service is prompt. The hotel even gave us a free room upgrade, and the butler patiently recommended good local food spots.FromAED 94

My overall experience at Chongqing Yaqi Hotel (Jiefangbei Qixinggang Branch) was outstanding. The service was excellent; the front desk staff were friendly and efficient, and they responded promptly to my WeChat messages. They even returned an item I left behind after check-out, which was a thoughtful touch. As for the facilities, my river-view room had floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the Yangtze River, complete with smart lighting and a scenic bathtub. The rooftop infinity pool offered clean water and a stunning city skyline backdrop – perfect for photos. The laundry room and complimentary parking were also very convenient. While the food wasn't a lavish feast, the authentic Chongqing noodles for breakfast were delicious. Paired with the clay pot dishes and the time-honored pea and minced pork noodles available nearby, it truly captured the vibrant street food culture of Chongqing. The hotel offers a quiet retreat in a bustling area, with direct subway access. It's an excellent choice for a stay in the city center that balances design and comfort.FromAED 81

This hotel is located right across from Bayi Square and is also close to the subway. Stepping out, you're on Bayi Road Food Street, where you can find all sorts of local specialty snacks. The staff were very warm and attentive. When we arrived, they immediately offered us refreshing lemon and plum juice from the hotel's self-service, which was incredibly crisp and tasty. Housekeeping was prompt; they even helped us with laundry while we were out exploring. Food delivery riders can bring orders directly to your room. Honestly, if it's not too hot, a short walk will get you to a ton of great food options. You can easily walk to Jiefangbei and Hongyadong from here, and to get to Liziba, you can take Line 2. Across the street from the hotel, you get a great mountain view, and you can even spot the Golden Eagle. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves food and exploring!FromAED 186

Jiefangbei Area/Hong Ya Dong Chongqing|2.72km from city centre
Visiting Chongqing this time, I chose the Park View King Room at the Grand Hyatt, and after the stay, I felt it was definitely worth writing a review.
What I hate most when booking hotels in Yuzhong District is that they are either right on the main street and too noisy, or the windows face the wall of the neighboring building. Choosing the garden view room this time, I felt relieved the moment I opened the door. The room layout is practical, and even with two suitcases laid wide open, it doesn't feel cramped. The window looks straight out over the garden, with patches of greenery and walkways downstairs—not just a perfunctory view with a couple of potted plants casually thrown together. Even the hustle and bustle of Jiefangbei outside was filtered out significantly, unlike street-facing hotels I’ve stayed at before where you could still hear honking cars in the middle of the night.
During check-in, I casually asked the front desk if they could recommend any nearby, non-touristy Xiao Mian (Chongqing noodles) and homestyle restaurants. While researching beforehand, I scrolled past way too many internet-famous spots; going there meant either waiting in line for two hours for mediocre food, or paying heavily inflated prices. The receptionist directly recommended a nearby chaoshan (wonton) shop, mentioning it's where the staff usually go after work. I tried it the next day—the people eating noodles inside were basically local elderly folks, and it completely hit the mark. It was so much better than what I had eaten outside Hongya Cave.
The details in the room were also quite comforting. The bedding is soft yet supportive; after walking 20,000 steps, lying down on it helped me relax quickly. The bathroom features a marble countertop and was impeccably cleaned with no dead corners. Hot water came out instantly, and the shower water pressure was just right for washing away a whole day's muscle aches and fatigue.
The location is indeed very convenient. Step downstairs and it's just a two-minute walk to Jiefangbei, and the Xiaoshizi Metro Station is only a few hundred meters away. Whether heading to Hongya Cave, the Yangtze River Cableway, or taking the subway to Liziba, you don't need to take any detours or walk long distances. I avoided hailing cabs during morning rush hours this time and basically just walked or took the subway, saving a lot of time stuck in traffic.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's completely without flaws. The lobby can sometimes get crowded with tour groups and a bit noisy, but it didn't affect me. Oh, and by the way, I heard the Napoleon pastry at the cake counter is their signature; I tried it as I walked past and it was indeed very good. Friends visiting might want to give it a try.FromAED 340

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. Everyone was so nice and kind. The service was top- notch. The amenities were plenty and easy accessible. A few extras that made everything worth it were the full- sized refrigerator, with freezer, the washing machine (for which they provided soap as well), dish washer, stove top, towel drier ( in the washroom) and full sized closet. The view was so beautiful and calming as well. Everything about this room was just so nice and exactly what I needed.
I didn’t realize how perfect the location was in relation to almost everything that I wanted to see. When I figured that out, I just got up every day and walked to everything that I needed or wanted to see. It was extremely close to a lot of restaurants, malls, local shops and smaller attractions. I was less than a 10 -15 minute walk to Raffles City Shopping Center where there is a 5 story mall, Movie theatre, roof top attraction with the swing, SKY WALK and also the river front park with amazing views. Same distance for Hongyadong, the viewing platform, the Qiansemen Bridge- if you wanted to walk across the bridge at night- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Definitely not recommended on WARM DAYS because the hotel will turn off AC completely. I stayed at this hotel from 5/8 to 5/11, In-room HVAC only worked on daytime when outdoor temperature reached about 30 degrees, in room temperature was cooling down and comfortable enough. However, the hotel shut down AC system at night because outdoor temperature is not hot enough, that leading to in room temperature went back to 27 degrees, I got totally sleepless. Understood the hotel tried to save money on electricity, but AC system is the one of basic amenity systems and should not shut down the mostly of the days.

Huaxi campus of Chongqing University of Technology Chongqing|15.98km from city centre
The hotel is in a rather remote location with not much around except for some street food stalls. The nearest place to eat is the Wanda Plaza, which is 7 kilometers away. However, the hotel is close to South Hot Spring Park, where you can take the cable car up the mountain and the slide down—super fun! The surroundings are beautiful, and I unexpectedly discovered the Liberation of Chongqing Monument and Museum, making the trip totally worthwhile.
The hotel facilities are quite dated. I booked a room with a private indoor hot spring pool, which turned out to be just a square deep tub. The hot spring water wasn't very warm, and the flow rate was so slow that it took forever to fill, so I had to add some regular hot water. The TV was an old-fashioned model with no internet streaming—just a few regular channels with very blurry picture quality.
Front desk staff Xiao Yang provided very thoughtful service, and the housekeeping aunties were warm and attentive.
Breakfast was just average. However, they insisted on charging 49 RMB for a half-price child's breakfast. After arguing with the staff for a long time, I managed to get it waived, but in return, I got judgmental and scornful looks from the staff. My suggestion is that the hotel should just be generous and include a free breakfast for one child. Kids don't eat much anyway, and that way everyone wins.FromAED 260

Jinfo Mountain Resort Chongqing|78.16km from city centre
Every year, I make sure to visit Jinfo Mountain, and each time I stay at Tianxing Liangjiang. Previously, I mostly stayed in their family rooms, but this time, after the renovation, I opted for a deluxe standard room. Let's start with the positives: it offers great value for money. Post-renovation, the rooms feel more modern and incorporate some smart features. The twin beds are large enough, making it ideal for families with two children. Right outside, there's a shallow stream, which is incredibly convenient for kids to play in the water and then easily come back to the room to change and shower. Dining options are also plentiful, and it's very close to the West Slope cable car.
Now for the downsides, which are new issues that have emerged since the renovation. One thing is absolutely unbearable: did the designers ever stay in a hotel with their family? The motion sensor light at the entrance turns on every time someone walks by. At night, whether an adult or child needs to use the restroom, it inevitably lights up. This type of sensor light is only suitable for someone staying alone, but this is a holiday resort area where most visitors are families. It seriously disrupts sleep. Another issue is the shower/toilet partition being too small. While it makes the space appear larger, it's extremely awkward for family travel like ours. The shower and toilet are only separated from the main room by a glass door, so you can't even dare to turn on the lights. The shower stall itself is tiny; you can't hang clothes inside. If you put them outside and open the door, anyone in the room can see right in. It's ridiculous! When getting dressed after a shower, you have to open the glass door just a crack, sneak a hand out like a thief, quickly grab the clothes from the chair, and bring them in to get dressed.
These two points significantly detract from the overall stay experience.FromAED 108

Guanyinqiao/ 9 Street Chongqing|2.45km from city centre
Got a room upgrade upon arrival. Stayed in Room 2001 this time.
Location & Surroundings: The hotel is super close to Paradise Walk—less than a 5-minute walk downstairs. I’d recommend taking a taxi here, as it's a bit of a walk from the light rail station. However, this also means it's sheltered from the main shopping crowds, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the bustling area.
Facilities: The facilities are better maintained than most hotels built around the same time. That said, typical of international chain hotels from that era, the TV only has digital channels; you'll need a cable to cast your own content. The bedding was exceptionally comfortable, and I slept really well throughout my stay.
Cleanliness: The bathroom facilities are well-kept and spotless. The water pressure for both the shower and the bathtub was fantastic.
Service: Great attitude, well-organized staff, and they were always prompt and attentive to every request.
Overall: If you don't rely on public transit and are looking for great shopping and dining options nearby, this hotel offers fantastic value for money compared to other hotels in its class or even Huazhu-affiliated properties in the area.FromAED 268

Guanyinqiao/ 9 Street Chongqing|3.1km from city centre
Overall, it offers excellent value for money. The hotel is within walking distance of both the subway station and Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street. Although the rooms show their age, they are generally well-maintained and clean, with only the windows being a bit dirty. The bedding is very clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Noise wasn't much of an issue, except for the air conditioning being a little loud. The hotel's amenities are also good; there's a self-service laundry with dryers, and the staff even helped fold the clothes. Overall, for a trip to Chongqing, especially for families or business travelers, it's a highly cost-effective choice.FromAED 188

I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent and very convenient, especially for visiting some of the most famous attractions in Chongqing.
The room was clean, comfortable, and looked exactly like the pictures. The service was also very good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
One feature I really liked was the QR code service. You can scan the code and request personal necessities directly, then simply pick them up from the front desk. It’s completely free and saves you from having to call reception, which I found very convenient.
The hotel also has a restaurant serving meals, although I didn’t get the chance to try the food, so I can’t comment on it.
Overall, a very comfortable stay with a great location, clean rooms, good service, and some really convenient features. Great value and definitely a place I would recommend when visiting Chongqing.FromAED 127

This hotel was a great choice for bringing my child to Chongqing to see their idol! I specifically picked this one right next to Yangtze International, and the location was incredibly convenient. It was just a few steps downstairs to Yangtze International, so my child could go there every day, take photos in front of the building, and was absolutely thrilled. The room was clean and spacious, very quiet and comfortable, and we slept wonderfully at night. There were plenty of dining options and amenities nearby, with convenience stores and snack stalls right downstairs. Transportation was also easy. This trip was mainly about fulfilling my child's dream, and staying here made hitting all the spots super easy. The child had a blast, and it was stress-free for the adults. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Chongqing! 👍FromAED 216

Jiefangbei Area/Hong Ya Dong Chongqing|2.85km from city centre
The hotel has an unbeatable location, right next to the Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street on one side and the Yangtze River Tunnel on the other, with plenty of amazing food options all around.
The Westin offers great service, a comfortable ambiance, and nice room facilities. The breakfast has a wide variety and tastes quite good. However, the Executive Lounge afternoon tea is a bit disappointing—the cakes aren't great and there's no freshly squeezed juice.
The observation deck on the 54th floor is quite small, resembling an infinity pool (swimming not allowed), and is mainly used for taking photos. Going up there at night to enjoy the view is pretty nice.FromAED 555

Jiangbeizui/Beibin Road Chongqing|2.53km from city centre
When planning this trip to Chongqing, I agonized over choosing a hotel for ages, constantly torn between Regent, TFT, and Niccolo. Regent has always had a great reputation for service, and TFT was quite appealing too, but in the end, I decided I preferred the views at Niccolo, so I booked it. It turned out to be the right choice—I was quite satisfied with the overall experience.
Actually, having stayed at several Niccolo hotels before, my relationship with the brand is a bit of a love-hate one. The Suzhou Niccolo, in particular, was quite a disappointment. The service was fine—the staff were all very nice—but the interior design and materials used really didn't live up to the price tag. The guest room corridors, especially, gave me the impression of a budget hotel; the lighting and overall ambiance were quite oppressive, completely lacking the texture and feel you'd expect from a luxury hotel. The breakfast was also just so-so, leaving no memorable impression.
However, Niccolo Chongqing is a massive step up from Suzhou.
First of all, the views are genuinely fantastic. Chongqing's urban landscape is so unique with its skyscrapers, river views, and multi-layered architecture, which looks stunning from up high. A huge part of why I choose high-rise hotels like this is just to take in the scenery from the room, especially at night. Sitting back and watching the city lights outside is just so relaxing. So in terms of the view, it certainly didn't disappoint.
The service was solid overall; the staff were courteous and pleasant to communicate with. Of course, it wasn't completely flawless—there was a small hiccup during the stay, but the hotel handled it quite professionally, and I was fine with it. The more you stay at hotels, the more you realize that hiccups can happen anywhere. I'm not overly fussed about that; what I care more about is how the hotel handles issues when they arise. At least this time, Niccolo Chongqing gave me a good impression without any brush-offs or perfunctory attitudes.
The breakfast was also better than expected. Niccolo Chongqing offers a semi-buffet. The space isn't huge, and when I first walked in, I thought it looked a bit cramped and worried there wouldn't be much to eat. But I ended up being quite pleased. The selection was richer than I imagined, the food quality was good, and the Eggs Benedict were spot-on in both taste and quality. The freshly squeezed juices were also delicious. Personally, I've always felt that hotel breakfast doesn't need to blindly chase variety. Many hotels have massive breakfast areas piled high with food, but very few items actually taste good. Even though Niccolo Chongqing's space is small, it has all the essentials, and they're well-executed. I really liked that.
One more thing: after staying at so many Niccolos, I'm increasingly convinced that with this brand, you really need to book a suite. I've stayed in standard rooms and N3 rooms before, and honestly, the difference in experience is quite noticeable. Standard rooms aren't bad, but considering the price and the brand's positioning, they always feel like they're missing that certain something. Suites, on the other hand, instantly elevate the comfort level and give you that proper luxury hotel experience.
So my verdict on Niccolo is pretty simple: the service is mostly good, but the hardware really depends heavily on the specific property and room type. The Chongqing branch is one of the better ones I've stayed at; at least this time, the views, the breakfast, and the overall service left me thoroughly satisfied.
If I visit Chongqing again in the future, I'll likely consider Niccolo again, but I'll almost certainly go for a suite. Seriously, having tried the standard rooms, N3, and the suites, I can only say that suites are definitely the way to experience Niccolo properly.FromAED 654

At Regent Chongqing, I truly understood the meaning of understated and warm luxury. The Neo-Chinese design blends seamlessly with the culture of the mountain city, creating an elegant and tranquil space. A glance out the window reveals the confluence of the two rivers, and as night falls, the dazzling lights of Hongya Cave stretch across the river surface, offering a panoramic view of the city's brilliant nightscape. What touched me most wasn't just the stunning river view, but the impeccable service—enthusiastic yet never intrusive, thoughtful down to the smallest detail, and uniquely warm without feeling cliché. The space is filled with the lingering fragrance of Frédéric Malle, framed by the breathtaking mountain city view waiting right outside the bathtub. The mini-bar is replenished daily with local specialty snacks and drinks, and daily laundry service comes with a thoughtful greeting. Because of all this, I think I’ve fallen in love with Chongqing, and I've fallen in love with the Regent! Unfortunately, during my two-night stay, the Two Rivers Bar was fully booked for private events both nights. After much consideration, I decided to stay an extra night just to enjoy the evening river breeze at the Two Rivers Bar, accompanied by classic jazz, washing away the fatigue of the entire day. Thanks to the Regent, this trip to the mountain city holds an extra layer of unforgettable, gentle memories.FromAED 721
