- Mountain Terrain Elevation Changes: True to Chongqing’s “mountain city” identity, the metro covers drastic altitude differences and steep slopes. Rides deliver panoramic city views that flat-land metro systems cannot provide.

Practical Tips for Riding the Chongqing Metro

Chongqing’s mountain-city metro system differs greatly from North American transit networks. Below are practical tips for Canadian travellers to ensure a smooth riding experience:
- Adapt to Terrain Elevation Changes: Stations feature long staircases, steep escalators and sloped passageways due to Chongqing’s hilly landscape. Travellers with luggage or limited mobility should reserve extra time for transfers.
- Mandatory Security Checks: All metro entrances require standard security screening for passengers and luggage. Cooperate with inspections to speed up entry.
- Handle Language Barriers: Station signs and ticket machines support English, but announcements and staff conversations are mainly in Chinese. Prepare an offline translation tool or check routes via Trip.com for easy navigation.
- Follow Local Metro Etiquette: Queue orderly for tickets and boarding, offer seats to seniors and parents with children, and avoid loud noise or eating on board.
- Confirm Last Train Times: Suburban lines close early. Always check final departure times in advance to avoid being stranded. Core lines offer extended hours on weekends and holidays for late-night sightseeing.

Guanyinqiao/ 9 Street Chongqing|3.43km from city centre
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~~~FromRUB 2,955

Hilton Chongqing is located in the heart of Yuzhong District, right next to the Lianglukou Metro Station, making getting around extremely convenient. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast offers a great variety. I want to give a special thanks to Xiao Wu at the front desk during check-in; she was professional and attentive, making the check-in process efficient and smooth.

Arriving in Chongqing early in the morning after a Yangtze River cruise with my parents, we took a taxi from the cruise terminal to the hotel for just 10 yuan. I was expecting to check in in the afternoon and had planned to leave our luggage at the front desk before exploring the area. To my surprise, the hotel staff immediately gave us a room and upgraded us to the executive floor! I was so touched, especially since it was raining outside! The hotel facilities weren't as old as some reviews suggested; the room was spacious and seemed to have undergone some partial renovation. The bed was large and comfortable, and there was a bathtub for soaking. We could even see the Yangtze River Bridge from our window. Overall, it was very good, clean, and comfortable! The hotel's location is also excellent. It's just a 10-15 minute walk to Jiefangbei, Hongyadong, and Shibati, and there are countless delicious restaurants nearby. We easily walked to Qiu Jie San Yang Cai and Li Chuan Chuan, and it was a short stroll to see the night view of Hongyadong. For this price, this hotel offers incredible value for money!FromRUB 4,549

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.FromRUB 8,400

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.FromRUB 9,798

The room's location and overall value for money are great, especially for those staying in Guanyinqiao and Jiefangbei during the National Day holiday – they're truly brave souls. However, there's a big problem: I booked this room much earlier for 680, but by the time National Day arrived, the price had dropped to 480. Unfortunately, it was already past the refund deadline. I've encountered similar situations before, but this one seems quite significant. I might stay here again in the future, but it's definitely best not to book in advance.FromRUB 4,488

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.FromRUB 1,729

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!FromRUB 4,304

A huge shout-out to Autumn at the front desk! My stay here was fantastic. The hotel's overall atmosphere is comfortable and grand, but what touched me the most was Autumn's thoughtful and attentive service. During check-in, she was warm and patient, answering all my questions and making the whole process feel completely effortless and pleasant. I was even pleasantly surprised by some snacks she sent over—such a heartwarming touch full of attention to detail. You can truly tell she puts herself in the guests' shoes; her service is genuine, gentle, and perfectly measured. When you're traveling, this kind of caring service instantly melts away the fatigue of the journey. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my stay and highly recommend it! I will definitely choose to stay here again next time, and I hope Autumn keeps up this wonderful warmth. Well deserved 👍FromRUB 5,555

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! There is so much to see and experience between the hotel and these attractions. Your days will be filled with fun and adventure.
If ever I have the opportunity to come back to the city, I will very excited to repeat this experience. FromRUB 6,070

Beibei Chongqing|30.57km from city centre
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.
Moldy grout, moldy caulking are all around the shower, the picture attached. Non adjustable shower head with fixed holder need upgraded. That shows lack of the maintenance for rooms.

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.FromRUB 2,403

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.FromRUB 5,960

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.

Excellent location, wonderful staff, and lots of thoughtful extras!
We really enjoyed our stay at Walling Hotel! The location is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of Chongqing. Within just 5 minutes' walk, you can reach Kuixinglou, Daijia Alley, the metro station, and plenty of restaurants, shops, and local food spots. Hongyadong and Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street are also just a short walk away. It's hard to imagine a more convenient base for exploring the city.
The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. We also received several lovely complimentary benefits through Trip.com, including a traditional tea experience. The hotel itself surprised us with a thoughtful farewell gift at checkout, which was a really nice personal touch.
Another interesting feature is the unusual breakfast arrangement. Instead of having to wake up early, you can enjoy your included meal throughout the day. Very convenient when you're on holiday and don't want to plan your mornings around breakfast hours!
One unexpected highlight deserves a special mention: the smart toilet with a heated seat and built-in bidet! It might sound funny, but it was genuinely one of the most enjoyable little comforts we experienced during our travels in China. Once you try it, you really appreciate it!
The views from our room weren't spectacular, but they were still quite nice, with illuminated skyscrapers visible across the river. Honestly, with so much to explore in Chongqing, you hardly spend any time looking out of your hotel window anyway.
Overall, excellent value for money, outstanding hospitality, a superb location, and plenty of thoughtful details that make the stay memorable. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again!FromRUB 2,980

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.FromRUB 16,947

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.FromRUB 15,941
