AApiradeejHotel in very convenient location in a walking distance to Hongyadong and if you take elevator to 22th floor in a short walk to Kuixing building which connect to another shopping area and near by hotel also have many restaurants and shops also travel company just next door.

ゲゲストOverall a great place. Beautiful rooms of the highest quality in every regard. The best features are the hot spring pools in the rooms of course. The showers are also great( two in every shower room) Great quality TV with great sound. Good selection of movies( not the latest releases) but all free. Food at the hotell restaurants had good standard. The best we have experienced in China. But for double the price we would pay for the same quality Chinese food in Norway. Surprisingly!
But keep clear of the pizza. It is actually just a frozen pizza type. Very small. We didn’t order any more western dishes after that, except for the Cesar’s salad. Which was good.
The place is old now and a bit worn. But it’s still is very very beautiful and high quality.
Where this hotell really shines is the services of the staff. Even if they don’t speak English and we don’t speak Chinese they are very patient.
To a Norwegian it is almost too much. They carry your bags even when thy are too heavie and many for one person.
They drive you you to and from your room if you have a villa.
We got an upgrade from ordinary room with hot spring pool and double bed to a villa! Because we found 6 small worms in the shower room.
I think this is pretty hard to avoid in such a sub tropical and humid environment.
But we reported it to the staff and they immediately gave us an upgrade with a complementary big fruit basket. We were blown away by this huge upgrade.
Only thing that was a bit negative and unexpected is the extra deposit fee which is quite high.
I think this should have been more clearly informed in the hotell booking and hotell online page.
We were a bit low on funds as Banyan tree was our last hotell stay in China before leaving and we were on a planned but tight budget.
We solved it of course with our Mastercard but it caused a bit stress for us.
And a second thing is that using Alipay instead of WeChat is more difficult at the hotell. ( not impossible)But without Chinese phone number you can’t use WeChat.
ゲゲストReally wise to choose this hotel close to Jiefangbei. The service at the front desk (Xiaoyan) was very friendly and the check-in speed was very fast. 💯 the hotel is in a very good location. It is about two minutes' walk to the pedestrian street to eat and drink, and it is also very close to Hongyadong to see the night scenery 🥰. The facilities are amazing, they all look brand new, the appliances run smoothly and the toiletries are of good quality. The best thing is that there is a washer and dryer, which is easy to operate and provides free laundry detergent. You can wear your clothes immediately after drying. Too tourist-friendly 👏 the cleanliness of the room was excellent, the bedsheets were white and odourless, the bathroom was dry and wet and free of scale, every corner was clean, a very restful stay ✨ within walking distance to the subway, shops, pedestrian street, downtown Chongqing and Hongyadong. Highly recommended!
