Hotels with Breakfast in Chongqing

For Teachers' Day, I planned a Chongqing staycation and booked a room at the Akelai Hotel. The lobby had a strong French retro vibe, and the location was excellent, right next to Jiefangbei and Hongyadong, with a shopping mall directly opposite, making dining and shopping very convenient. I booked a high-floor river view room. The room was spacious, and the warm lighting was very comfortable. It came with a vanity table, a soft sofa, and a bathtub. After a day of city walking, coming back to a relaxing bath instantly melted away the fatigue. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a fantastic view. From the sofa, I could see the Twin Towers and cruise ships slowly passing on the Jialing River. Quietly enjoying the river view, it truly captured the atmosphere of a mountain city. After checking in, I went to the outdoor area of the lobby bar for afternoon tea. Surrounded by greenery, I enjoyed a drink while feeling the breeze.

Excellent twin room with two 1.5-meter beds, very spacious. It's a river view room, absolutely nice. We spent three days in Chongqing, and our two-night stay at this hotel was the most satisfying part. Traveling with a child, we all slept incredibly comfortably. The hotel's location is superb. Hongyadong is just across the street, and there are several famous hotpot restaurants nearby. It's in the busiest commercial area yet offers a quiet retreat. Very convenient for getting around. Atour has once again exceeded my expectations, making me love this brand even more. The breakfast was as nice as ever. The hotel's positioning perfectly aligns with the market, making it an excellent value-for-money choice for both business and leisure travelers.

Complaints: 1. The hotel's location isn't accurately pinpointed on maps, and it's inaccessible by car. It's basically a small space within a residential building, requiring guests to navigate narrow alleys with crowds, making for a terrible arrival experience. 2. Breakfast requires trekking up an outdoor坡道 (slope) and stairs. The hotel's main entrance is right next to a smelly garbage bin, and the breakfast selection is extremely limited. 3. The hotel WiFi is practically useless; I had to rely on my own data the whole time. 4. The bathroom ventilation didn't work, and there was a constant sewage smell. The bathroom's design effectively distributed this odor throughout the entire room, including the bed. 5. The bathroom lacked privacy; the window couldn't be opened, and neighboring residential windows were right outside. 6. The top floor gets extreme sun exposure, rendering the air conditioning almost ineffective in the mornings. 7. The living room's blackout curtains were poor, making the room very bright in the mornings. 8. Avoid Chongqing in August and September; the heat is unbearable. For the same budget, there are many better options available.

STAFF APPRECIATION: I would like to thank Xiao Yang, Xiao Yi, and Master Li for their care during my stay. They were kind, professional, warm, patient, and proactive. They were also incredibly accommodating with my inability to speak more than a little Chinese. Xiao Yang even made a point to speak English with me during breakfast and checkout. Master Li was very tolerant with my last-minute requests for pickup and drop off and Xiao Yi quickly located and added me on WeChat to allow us to chat more comfortably. As it was raining, she even met me by the car with an umbrella when I arrived. I felt quite pampered! DIRECTIONS: To reach the hotel requires a few transfers. It's not too troublesome and is well worth it! 1) I arrived at the Wulong South Railway 🚉 and followed the exit signs outside. 2) To the left was the large blue bus 🚌 mentioned by another reviewer. It will take you to the Fairy Mountain Visitor Center for 16 yuan. From here you can reach the most popular tourist destinations in Wulong to include the Three Bridges. 3) Outside the center you’ll find another blue fairy bus which will take you to the mountain itself for an additional 8 yuan. This bus will stop at the gate where tickets will be checked. Be sure to contact the hotel and give them your information before you set off because the cost of this ticket is included with your stay! They will reserve the ticket for you and send you confirmation and any relevant information. Otherwise, it is 50 yuan per person. 4) This bus will drop you off at a plaza with a few shops and the boarding platform for the scenic train. 🚂 Contact the hotel and someone will come to pick you up, as private vehicles are not permitted beyond this point. REVIEW: If availability and your budget permit, I cannot emphasize strongly enough how much it is worth it to splurge on the room with a 270-degree view of the property. I went on a foggy, wet weekend and still found the view incredible. The windows cover three walls. I can only imagine how amazing the sky must look on a clear night. The minibar has a good selection of free snacks and drinks and a sampling of the local tea. Meals are also served at the hotel. The cost is not low, but for the exclusivity of the location, I considered it more than fair compared to what I’ve paid elsewhere. Also, the dishes looked and tasted great. There are also vendors down the hill where the train and shops (show in the picture below) are located. Look for the sign identifying the train exit and go down the steps. These were the only places I saw to purchase food, drinks, or supplies once you pass the entrance to the mountain, so plan accordingly. By the way, tickets for the scenic train were included with the reservation as well. I highly recommend it. It stops at the grasslands and the horse stables. Now, I will allow the pictures to speak for me. TLDR: Multiple transfers lead to a place that is secluded and picturesque and right in the heart of the mountain. That means your dining choices will also be limited, but the meals provided (at a cost) were delicious. Tickets to the mountain and scenic train are included in the price. A photo session is included as well, but I did not utilize it. I recommend setting out earlier to miss the worst of the crowds. The staff is amazing and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The room with the 270-degree view offers the best experience. 10/10 recommend for those seeking quiet and the peace only nature can bring. 🏞

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!

The front desk staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and communication was a breeze. The breakfast spread was fantastic, with a wide variety of fresh ingredients. The hotel amenities are excellent, making it convenient for gym workouts and laundry. The robot room service was a unique and cool touch. Checking out and getting an electronic invoice was super easy, just one click! Overall, it's great value for money and a very comfortable stay.

The hotel was very comfortable overall, with complete facilities, including a gym and laundry room on the eighth floor. The staff, especially Chloe, was friendly. It was convenient for getting around and dining. I felt very secure during my stay and it's definitely worth checking in.

I stayed for several days, and an auntie came to clean the room every day, which was nice. The bathroom in the room also had a wet and dry separation, making it suitable for staying with friends. If we had any issues, we could always contact the staff who were very prompt in resolving them. The lobby provided welcome tea, a microwave, and an ice maker, which was very convenient. Most importantly, the hotel's location is excellent, with many attractions nearby like Eling Stack Road, Hongyadong, and Jiefangbei, all easily accessible.

The guest services team, Suki and Lillian, were incredibly friendly. They proactively communicated about my check-in needs and answered all my questions clearly and patiently, paying attention to every little detail, which was very thoughtful. The room decor was simple yet stylish, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet area. The hotel's location is also excellent, very close to the subway station, making travel super convenient. Nearby commercial areas and attractions are all within easy reach, making it perfect for both leisure and business travelers. My entire stay was fantastic, from the hardware facilities to the software services. It offers great value for money! I've already recommended it to my friends, and I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

The hotel is right in Jiefangbei, in a prime location. The front desk staff were very friendly and the room was spacious enough, but it would have been great to have a sofa in front of the bed (I saw it in the room description photos, but it wasn't actually there). This is because every time I came back to the hotel after being out, there was no place to sit down and rest without getting into bed before showering. Although there were two high stools in the room, they really weren't comfortable – they're more for a bar counter.
