Jinjiang Inn Select Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station

Jinjiang Inn Select Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Jinjiang Inn Select Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station, you immediately get that “smart business hotel” vibe — clean lines, modern touches, but nothing too flashy. It’s one of those three-star places that actually knows what it’s doing, which honestly can be hit or miss in this category. The lobby feels fresh and well-maintained, and the staff seemed genuinely helpful when I was checking in around evening rush hour.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about this hotel’s location — it’s not just “near the station,” it’s practically part of the Caiyuanba Railway Station complex. I mean, you can literally roll out of bed and catch an early train without breaking a sweat. Chongqing can be a sprawling city to navigate, but being in Yu Zhong District puts you right in the heart of things. The Yangtze River is just a short walk away, and you’ve got decent access to the city’s famous hotpot joints and shopping areas without dealing with the chaos of some other central locations.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was compact but thoughtfully designed — you know, the kind where everything has its place and nothing feels cramped. The bed was surprisingly comfortable for a business hotel, and the bathroom was modern with good water pressure (always a win in my book). What I appreciated most was the soundproofing; despite being so close to the railway station, I barely heard any train noise at night. The Wi-Fi was solid, and there were plenty of outlets for charging devices, which seems obvious but you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong.

Practical Perks

The hotel’s restaurant serves a decent breakfast spread — nothing fancy, but it covers the basics with both Western and Chinese options. I actually found myself grabbing coffee there most mornings because it was quick and the quality was consistent. There’s also a small convenience area in the lobby where you can pick up snacks or travel essentials, which came in handy when I realized I’d forgotten phone chargers. The front desk staff spoke enough English to help with basic requests, and they were pretty good at arranging taxis or giving directions to local attractions.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a place you’ll Instagram every corner of, but it delivers exactly what most travelers actually need — a clean, comfortable base with an unbeatable location for exploring Chongqing or catching onward transport. The couples who rate this place highly seem to get it; it’s perfect for a practical city break where you want to spend your time out exploring rather than hanging around the hotel. The value proposition is solid, especially considering you’re getting modern amenities and that prime location at reasonable prices. If you’re the type who prioritizes location and efficiency over fancy amenities, this place really hits the mark.

  Spacious comfortable clean room, quiet at night, near to subway line / escalator, convenience shop nearby
  
  What could be improved: No communication via booking.com from staff – they don’t seem to see messages here & we worried about our late check in and couldn’t contact them but had no issues upon arrival

• Km from Singapore – 20 December 2023 (8/10)

  I chose this hotel because it was near the Caiyuanba bus station which had a direct bus to the Chongqing University of Posts and Communications.
  The facilities are good for the price – private bathroom, clean, modern and so on. Staff are very helpful, but very little English spoken – if at all.
  It looked near enough to the Lianglukou metro which would link me to the other sights – but be warned of vertical distances! In front of the hotel is a busy road, and the bus station always seemed to have a line of taxis, so getting around is not a major problem.
  The local dining is plentiful but note it is mainly local cooking.
  
  What could be improved: The hotel was 50 meters beneath the Lianglukou station where I came from. The famous (Crown) HuangguanDaFuTi escalator was nearby, but it's opening hours may not be convenient. There is an external staircase, but it's some ways down! Note the hotel itself is at 168 NanQu Lu.
