“First time in Chongqing”

Selecting a good hotel is always critical when you are on holiday. Good location and it is only around 10 CNY taxi fare to most destinations in town.

Selecting a good hotel is always critical when you are on holiday. Good location and it is only around 10 CNY taxi fare to most destinations in town. We have not taken the train or the bus for the entire week during our stay since taxi fare is really cheap. Friendly and helpful staff/good housekeeping. We were assigned to a cornerRoom 1422, so it was pretty quiet most of the time. Room is equipped with a hair dryer, bathrobes etc. The long bathtub was great during a cold day which I enjoyed almost everyday. We will be back with our friends. Glenview's management and Staff keep up the goodwork!👍 Kind regards, Steven Leung from Malaysia - 1st to 8th April 2024

“Enjoyable stay”

As good as 5 star international hotel. Walking distance to major tourist areas in the central biz area. Jiaochangkou Metro station is just 5 mins walk away.

As good as 5 star international hotel. Walking distance to major tourist areas in the central biz area. Jiaochangkou Metro station is just 5 mins walk away. Most tourists places out of the CBD are along Line 1 and Line 2 from Jioachangkou station. You may buy train tickets with cash at the booth after security clearance. Food here may be too spicy for foreigners. We explored the surrounding buildings and found Japanese and Roast duck restaurants. Hotel has several restaurants too. The tap water in China is not potable. The hotel gave us 4 bottles of drinking water per day upon request instead of the usual 2.

A very positive and surprising experience at this central hotel. Located just a stone throw away from the Touristic center "Liberation Square:, GuoTai Arts Center, Luo Han Temple and hidden gem Miracle street, this hotel is managed like a luxury 5 start property. Let me be clear, hotel is not new and design is a little dated, however hotel facilities are very well kept and the room very well managed. We were very positively and pleasantly surprised by the kindness and warmth of the staff. From front desk reception, very friendly, sincere smile to the old lady making fresh Chongqing style noodles for breakfast, the staff here is really professional and warm. Rooms are spacious and the kind size beds are real kind size. Bathrooms are spacious as well and very bright. One little comment on the choice of room amenities which is a bit off, feels a bit below standard compared to other elements, the smell is too strong and a bit kinky in our opinion. The view from the rooms are over the skyscrapers that cover Yuzhong District, with view of pedestrian street below or Yangtze River. Plenty of food options around even if a bit too touristy because of the central location. Nevertheless a very nice hotel to explore the city. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if traveling to Chongqing again!

“Fine hotel, be careful with the pool”

Pro's: - Hotel staff was super conscientious. Hotel and room were extremely clean. AC worked reliably. No foul odors or insects in room. Excellent sound isolation from outside and other rooms. Minus's: - Business center amenity listed on website does not exist. When we went, it appeared to be repurposed for staff office space. The advertised availability of this amenity was a key reason for booking this hotel. - Shower is poorly designed; it can be closed both from the inside and outside. But when we closed the door from the inside, it leaked water all over the bathroom, creating a slip hazard. - Exterior walkway to swimming pool was dangerously slippery when wet. I nearly slipped and fell. There needs to be signage, or preferably, an improved walkway. - For western guests, it would be helpful to have signage warning that the pool’s locker room involves walking through an area with at least an inch or two of water (it’s not obvious, especially when one would never expect it). I had never been to a pool in China before, and ended up having to spend a half hour trying to dry off my shoes & orthotics, rather than swimming. - Also, as a note for other non-Chinese visitors, be aware that the Chongqing subway system is poorly designed for individuals with luggage. The subway station closest to the hotel requires lugging suitcases up stairways, with no elevator/escalator option.
