Youyang County Vacations from $508

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.

The front desk staff did an amazing job, they helped us with anything we needed and even went out of their way to help us find the hospital when we needed to go for an emergency. Would stay again 100%!
