MERCURE CHONGQING JIEFANGBEI HONGYA CAVE

The hotel room is beautiful, clean, and very well-designed. The location is super convenient—very close to Hongya Cave, Jiefangbei, and Raffles City Chongqing. Basically walk everywhere, which is perfect for travelers. The front desk staff were incredibly kind and understanding, which made the whole stay feel very welcoming. Something important… the smart toilet here is AMAZING. As a foreigner, this honestly made my life so much easier 😂 (if you know, you know). Breakfast was also really good! Stayed for 3 days and didn’t get bored at all. The housekeeping aunties kept the room super clean and tidy every day—really appreciate their effort. There’s also a food street right nearby, and OMG the food is so good. The maodoufu (hairy tofu) and Xinjiang lamb skewers were especially delicious. Highly recommend this hotel AND the food street nearby. Would definitely stay again!

The hotel is located at an central area, making it convenient to explore the different tourist places in chongqing. However, there is no proper drop off / onboarding location. Hence, if you want to take didi, you must cross over to the opposite bus stop. That said, I don't know how this would play out if it rains. Perhaps from the backroad ? Nonetheless, the staff were kind and friendly in answering my question. The laundry room is also well-equipped with detergents. Even though the hotel is located on a busy street, it is still rather quiet at night. The only downside of this hotel is that there are times when I can smell a very strong hotpot smell. Also, the breakfast food is very Chinese, I wouldn't say it is even close to Western. Still, the food was decent. Using voice control in the room to turn on the aircon and off the lights was very convenient, provided you can speak Chinese.

Really impressed with this hotel. Housekeeping lady was so nice and helpful. Hongya cave is just a short walk away.

The hotel is centrally located, with major attractions within easy walking distance. Staff were exceptionally helpful in accommodating our room requests and providing overnight luggage storage, especially since we split our stay over 4 days.
