Guanjianchang Vacation Packages

very nice hotel, clean, quiet and beatiful. The staff is really friendly, caring and helpful.

This is an excellent hotel in a fantastic location with great access to local transport and tourist sites. The hotel itself is located on floors 26-28 of the Pride of Times building; views from the rooms are incredible, and the hotel's lobby balcony provides a pleasant area to look out over the lights of modern Chongqing in the evening. This is also an option for the Saturday drone shows. The staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay. They provided recommendations for local food, as well as extra water and a limited daily clothes washing service. They were very accommodating of a late checkout for our evening flight schedule. For those coming via the metro: get off at Chaotianmen on Line 1, take exit 4 up a short escalator, then go up the long escalator on your left. The hotel's building will be right in front of you. Easy access through the same subway to everything around Chongqing's old city. The hotel itself doesn't offer breakfast, but there's a large food hall just next to Chaotianmen station - head back down via Exit 4 and it's impossible to miss. The one thing to be aware of is that the elevators up to the hotel floors are a bit worn and can be very crowded. I recommend taking the express routes stopping on even or odd floors for most of your stay - it will be much faster than the central shaft which stops on each level. The main lobby is on floor 27, and all rooms can be accessed via a separate dedicated elevator that services the hotel from floor 27.

Finding this place is incredibly difficult. If you’re unfamiliar with Chinese hotel systems, you’ll be completely lost upon arrival. There are no signs, logos, or anything indicating this location. The building itself is tall and adorned with symbols of other hotels, but not this one. When you try to use the elevator, there’s no sign inside indicating which floor belongs to this property. Without a Chinese-speaking person to contact the hotel, you’d be completely clueless. Even if someone could read Chinese, they wouldn’t recognize this hotel, as it’s likely a new establishment, and no one nearby knows about it so they can’t help. We eventually reached out to the receptionist via wechat, who kindly came downstairs to assist us. Otherwise, we might have never discovered that we needed a hotel card to access that level and which floor it belongs to. I hope they improve the check-in instructions in the future. Otherwise, the place is very nice, new, and well-renovated, with a great view. Amazing location
