Hotel Mesra Haiwan Peliharaan di Chongqing

Staying here felt like being welcomed into the home of a deeply cultured family. The décor is a beautiful, personal curation: art and personal book collection, vintage porcelain, silk cushions, and carefully chosen artworks. Nothing feels excessive or staged. Every object has intention behind it — a celadon vase here, a bronze figurine there — and yet the overall feeling is one of warmth and ease, not a museum. The rooms are serene, the linens impeccable, and the little touches — embroidered pillow slips, a hand-painted watercolour above the bed — speak of a host who genuinely cares. The lady boss is a gracious and soft spoken lady. She offers just the right amount of company and showed us the warmth of Gongtan residents through her actions and food. This is not just a place to sleep. It is a place that stays with you.

A hidden gem next to the French Consulate and Shibati's historic stairs. Quiet renovated area, yet steps from the buzz. Heritage charm, cozy rooms, and incredibly detail-oriented service—they remembered my tea order and gave great local tips. Special shout-out to the manager, who personally checked in on us each day and made sure everything was perfect. Effortlessly cool vibe with old-world character. Highly recommend to friends and family. Can't wait to return! 紧邻法国领事馆和十八梯老街的宝藏酒店。位于静谧翻新街区，闹中取静。复古风情，客房舒适，服务极其细致——竟记得我的茶饮偏好，还推荐了地道玩法。特别要表扬店长，每天亲自关心我们的入住体验，无微不至。氛围时髦又温馨，兼具历史韵味。强烈推荐给亲友，期待再访！

First off, I swear I'm not a paid promoter—just a regular college student! This was my first time in Chongqing, and I was honestly pretty nervous after reading so many posts online about how hard it is to navigate the city and how unreliable the GPS can be. But staying at this hotel totally saved me! The host sent a super detailed route map to get to the hotel, which was a lifesaver. Also, the location is incredibly convenient. As a college student on a ”Special Forces” style trip (trying to see as much as possible in a short time), every minute counts. Places like Jiefangbei, Shibati, Hongya Cave, and the Banshan Cliff Walk were all basically within 1 or 2 kilometers. The cliff walk was a bit farther, but only 3 or 4 subway stops away. It's right downstairs from Shancheng Alley, making everything super accessible. When it was time to leave, I just took a taxi straight from the hotel to Chongqing North Station—super easy! When I booked, I was thinking ”as long as it's decent,” since I'm not usually picky. But the room was amazing! It was spotless, and there was a floor-to-ceiling mirror that is absolutely perfect for taking photos!!! Some rooms even have a river view from the window, and if you get a room with a better angle, you can even see the Twin Towers!!! It really couldn't be more convenient. I'm usually too lazy to leave reviews, but this place is genuinely great. The host was so thoughtful, checking our arrival time in advance and even arranging a travel guide for us. Super sweet!! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit!!!

環境：酒店很有些年頭了，位於小街上，在老城區那邊，周邊都還是本地居民樓旁邊還有菜市場。 交通不是很便利，離兩邊的地鐵站都有一定的距離，去的路上都是要爬坡上坎的顯示不遠還是有點難走，打車的話，門前一條單行道白天都是堵死的紅的，打車也麻煩，不然就是走兩步到大路上打車 設施：最先就是給我的定的那個房型進去以後整體感覺就是像80年代的小賓館，之前也是住過其他地方的老牌星級酒店也不至於到這個地步，小，電視老，可以説是有點簡陋和前台確認房間沒錯以後前台服務還是不錯，給我升級到了智能房型。 新房型看出來是全新裝修的各種設施都很新，還有語音機器人控制電動窗簾一類的。 早餐在一個宴會廳裏，很一般，菜品少，牛奶豆漿都是一個機子裏面接，都挺一般的，衹能吃一個麪條還行

Excellent service. Excellent location. Near the BRT (which we took only once). The service apartment is located in a block (that also had another hotel entrance), where the entrance to Fandiao is hidden from the main road. But aside from that, the building is noticeable and is the first tall building just before the viewing deck for the Qiansimen bridge and just before Hongyatong, as traffic flows (one way). My specific booking for this room was for a Saturday night - a one night extension - and we chose the Hongyatong view, as our original room was already booked. We could see the massive crowds from our window view out there at and around Hongyatong and on the Qiansimen Bridge on the May 1 weekend But the previous 4 nights, we were booked under my husband's name, and that room allowed us to see the drones show from the comfort of our large and beautiful room. That first room had a wall-to-wall window, that allowed us a view of the river, a block of apartments right in front of us, and some street views. There are pros and cons to different rooms. The drone show is on weekends. If you are not on weekends, the HongYa Tong view is nicer, but only my first room (which was much larger at 40 sq metres) had a long window seat which was lovely. I share a few photos, one with a view of Hongyatong (this booking, and from the other room, where we could see the drone show. Remember they are different rooms. But you could easily come downstairs and watch the drones from the little corner outside the lobby. There's still a crowd, but you could see the drones rising to the sky. The customer service was excellent, for some reason, we were first given paper disposable towels in our first room, and I rejected that for cloth towels which were then given to us. The reception is on the 19th floor, and all the service personnel were willing to please (communicate via WeChat, with translation). And always asked if there were things they could do. Some idiosyncrasies (from a Malaysian view). They have glasses in the room but no cups/mugs for making tea the conventional English way, but the customer service brought cups with handles when we asked for them. No tea or coffee sachets provided but there were bottles of water and soft drinks, which we didn't take. I think it may be the context where soft drinks (in th fridge) were deemed more suitable and glasses were provided more for soft drinks. I had brought some 3-in-1 coffee sachets all the way from home just in case, that seemed providential when we checked in. Corridors in front of the lifts on the floors are motion sensored, so we were at first surprised by the darkness when the lift opened, but we got used to it. You have to decide whether you support energy efficiency or not. 😂 All in, we had a memorable time in Chongqing, thanks also to Fandiao. I would go and stay again and recommend it. Just bear in mind that the road right in front of the hotel is closed to the traffic at night on weekends (and likely public holidays). Plenty of food nearby, and beautiful spots for photos. There's also a Lawson store across the bridge 100 metres away where we bought our sandwiches, buns, oden, and coffee, for snacks.

This was such an odd hotel experience. I’ve never left a bad review before but this hotel was not very good. I wanted to treat myself to a nice hotel room so I went with this place because the reviews were good. I later realized that the boss must just beg every guest to leave 5 stars because he did that to me. My room was a little dirty, there were many hairs on the floor like it had not been swept and the toilet had not been flushed. There was no picture of the bathroom of the room I booked on the website. There were pictures of big and nice bathrooms but not the one I had, which was very small and inconvenient, so I didn’t expect to have that one. When I nicely brought up to the front desk that my room and the pictures online had a difference, they explained that online has multiple pictures of similar room types put together. That I can understand, but them not having a picture of the bathroom in my room at all makes it feel a little phony and not transparent. The hotel did say that if I got there before the official check in time then maybe they could have let me switch rooms but they were all full. I used to work at a hotel so I understand 100% and would have left it at that. However, the big boss kept asking me, more than three times to give them a good rating… he rode the elevator 40 floors down and followed me outside the hotel to keep talking to me and it just felt weird. He tried to give me advice for things to do and told me where I wanted to go had been closed for a year. I still chose to go and it was open 😂 Anyways just proceed with caution. It was not a positive experience for me but maybe it will be for you

The location is really nice and the staff is really nice and accommodating. They brought us hot noodles for late night snacks for free which is a big plus! The room is really clean, well maintained, and has a extraodinary view. This is a big recommendation for people traveling on a budget but want the best quality.

It was very confusing to find the hotel, as the name is completely different from what trip.com shows. The Echarm hotel name was nowhere displayed. On the reception building it was “Qinin hotel”. There are 3 receptions next to each other with 3 different names. Once we checkin in we have to go to an opposite building where the rooms are located. It was 31C, very hot in the elevator. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast is also acceptable and there were western options available.

The property could benefit from some updates and maintenance. One of the queen bedrooms was converted from a balcony, making it extremely cold during winter. Additionally, the heater in one of the rooms next to the hall was not working, which made it very uncomfortable to sleep through the night. The bathroom in one of the rooms remained choked throughout our stay, and overall, the bathrooms were not thoroughly cleaned. The kitchen also lacked proper cleanliness, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the view from the hall was decent, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to make up for the shortcomings in comfort and cleanliness.

”I’ve seen comments saying that the cheaper single rooms in China tend to reek of cigarette smoke, but thankfully this hotel had no tobacco smell at all—that was a plus. That said, it didn’t feel as clean as the reviews suggested. Still, the owner was friendly, so I’d say it’s fine overall.”
