Chongqing Tianlai Yunyun High-altitude River View Hotel (Jiefangbei Raffles City Branch)

This hotel is absolutely amazing! It's a duplex, and the room decor is so cozy. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer incredible city views. There's a big bathtub, and the bedding is super soft and comfortable. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and there's plenty of hot water. The staff are warm and attentive – truly unforgettable! It's right by Chaotianmen subway station, directly opposite Raffles City.

The hotel's location is excellent, right across from Raffles City and directly at a subway station, making getting around super convenient. It's actually a business building with numerous hotels inside; one floor might house rooms for three different hotels, so the layout is quite confusing. Getting from the ground floor to the front desk and then to your room requires changing elevators 2-3 times. We booked a LOFT room, and the cleanliness was just okay. There were many small flies in the bathroom, and the bedside tables were covered in dust, making the hygiene situation quite concerning. The air conditioning was incredibly loud, making it almost impossible to sleep – I'd recommend bringing earplugs. Thankfully, we only stayed two nights and were out all day, only returning to sleep. Overall, it's just average; only the view was decent.

The room was very spacious, offered great value for money, and the price was just right. The location in the city center was excellent. The bathtub worked perfectly, and the facilities were fantastic. Everything was clean, and the service was incredibly warm and welcoming.

A must-stay for a girls' trip! This place is incredibly photogenic; I took 200 pictures in one day. The 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows let in amazing light, especially at night when the ambiance is just perfect. The room is a loft, and both floors are spacious enough for two people, so you have plenty of room for getting ready, relaxing, and taking photos. Plus, there are tons of snacks and restaurants downstairs, making it super convenient to grab a bite after exploring.

Flying from Chengdu to Guangzhou with a layover in Chongqing, I was looking for a river view room to just relax. This 270° exquisite river view suite was worth every penny the moment I walked in – 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows framed both Raffles City and the Yangtze River Bridge perfectly. I was short on time and couldn't go sightseeing, so I spent the entire afternoon just gazing at the view from my room, even capturing a time-lapse of the sunset with my phone. The sofa faced the window directly, and lying down to watch the river was even more comfortable than sitting up. I woke up naturally, went downstairs to the coffee shop for a flat white, and then came back to slowly sip it by the window. When checking out, the front desk helped store my luggage and even pointed out a shortcut to the riverside. I strolled along the riverside promenade for half an hour, seeing many locals fishing. Just half a day, and this room completely cured my weariness.
