Chongqing Tianlai Hotel

more than 10 years old chinese hotel with 5 stars????? Noone speaks English, no western breakfast, no bedroom closet, bed matress is a nightmare (very simple chinese one). We booked a suite with two rooms, no seconds toilet (toilet is reachable only though the bedroom) for 2600 RMB (two nights) which are about 420 US Dollar. Suite very small (maybe 45 sqm). Even with a suite, a late checkout will be charged with 50%. Minibar, but just soft drinks in it. Small TV. Everything in the room has an extra charge (e,g. 1 bottle of chinese water = 30 RMB = 6 USD). Even tea or coffee not for free. This hotel does not meet even a 4-star-hotel-definition. In addition, reception is unfriendly. Keep away from that hotel! There are lots of hotels around with much higher standards and for a better price! I think the good Reviews herein about this hotel all come from chinese people which have a different idea about a hotel.

Stay one night for business. The lobby has high ceiling with nice decoration which give a sense of welcoming. Room is clean and tidy in general. The corner room layout is not ideal. The water heater boiler is far away from the bathroom to get water. View from the room is nice. Breakfast buffet is acceptable. Fresh vegetable and fruits are provided. Recommended Hotel for business.

I stayed here for a week while teaching a seminar. Everything was good: spacious and clean room, good breakfast, WiFi stable, gym good. There are a few shops and many restaurants nearby. Solid but not superfancy.
