Radisson Blu Hotel Chongqing Sha Ping Ba

Nice hotel located next to river and quite close to the main attractions too. Room was quite big and had lovely views. Nice complementary breakfast as well.

This may have been the best hotel during my 1 month China trip. First of all as a radisson vip member I got full recognition of status with a very nice upgrade to one of the nicer executive rooms with river view and nespresso machine. The view was really amazing, the one in the executive lounge was even better. The lounge itself was huge but not that cosy and the free food in the evening was Chinese-only and not even very fancy. Just rice, noodles, some veggies, fruit, etc Still, I dont wanna complain. Would have been nice if they had milk with the nespresso coffee machine but those are just minor details. Staff at reception and the lounge were friendly, not all speak good english but they tried and used a translator if they couldnt. Breakfast at the restaurant was ok I would say. The western stuff was not very good (stale bread etc) but the Chinese food was great. Considering that Chongqing is not on the radar of many western travelers I would say they tried their best and the price was comparably cheap, especially if you get the upgrade to the nice rooms. metro line 10 that also goes to the airport has a close by stop (10 min walk) so even though it isnt exactly in the center of chongqing, it has a fairly good location. Would stay there again.

The location and views are good, but the room was not air clean “I requested smoke-free” but was smelled good, breakfast was ok, and good facilities with a free sauna, pool, gym, and yoga room. The size was good and bar/snacks available for extra cost. The lights are very impressive in this city.
