Ramada Plaza Chongqing West

The hotel is old but clean & spacious. Rooms are very dated but clean - with old soiled carpets & has a terrible strong smoking odour ( in our friend's room as well). We informed the reception & they get housekeeping to spray some anti smoke smell deodorant. Helps but not completely. Pathetic small bottles of shampoo, bath wash & conditioner- enough for just one person. Had to ask for extra. A transparent long panel of glass separates the toilet from the bed ( the room gets very bright once the bathroom area light is switched on ). Ridiculous design, affecting sleep. Frankly the worst hotel in our stays in Chongqing. Understand that this is the "BEST" hotel in Dazu area.

I booked this hotel in December for a February visit through Booking.com. I received a confirmation number and three days before my arrival the hotel messaged me to say that they looked forward to our visit. After a 45 minute taxi ride from the Dazu train station we arrived at the hotel and were told they had no record of our reservation, stated they had no rooms and even denied the email they had sent was from them. They claimed they do not do business with Booking.com. Then they said they did have rooms but we would need to pay more than double if we wanted one. The Assistant Manager “Steven ” read this review before I posted it. He says it is all booking.com’s fault because the reservation was never “Real.” He did help me find a similarly priced room at a budget 8 motel for the exact same price I was going to pay for the Ramada. So same price but for a much poorer quality room. In other words, he was still trying to hustle me. Finally my friend found another hotel that was actually very nice, cost less and even picked us up from the Ramada. It’s the Vienna Hotel. I’d post a link, but hopefully you can find them on your own. Recommended. But several hours wasted at Ramada dealing with generally rude and indifferent Ramada staff. Called Booking.com who was pretty useless. We’d already checked into The Vienna before they’d found some other alternative hotel far away. That was my Ramada experience. Don’t repeat it.

The hotel is inexpensive. After I got into my room, it took some time for the room to get cool. There are many power sockets in the room which is nice. The bed is comfortable. There is label of softness on each pillow. I like the light sensor of the closet as well. The wifi was not very stable. Water came out very slowly from the bathtub, probably using of bathtub was discouraged. The water pressure of the shower room was normal. The breakfast was basic and the service was average.
