Maiyue Hotel-Chongqing Jiefangbei Chaotianmen

Maiyue Hotel-Chongqing Jiefangbei Chaotianmen Overview

First Impressions

When you step into the Maiyue Hotel-Chongqing Jiefangbei Chaotianmen on the 44th floor of the Optronics Center, honestly, the views alone will make you forget about the elevator ride up. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Chongqing’s Yuzhong District, and I mean right where all the action happens. The lobby feels modern without being cold — you know what I mean — and the staff actually seems genuinely happy to see you, which isn’t always a given in busy city hotels.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about this hotel’s location — it’s not just “convenient,” it’s strategic. You’re literally walking distance from both Jiefangbei (that’s the Liberation Monument, the city’s main landmark) and Chaotianmen, where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet. I’ve stayed in hotels that claim to be central but leave you taking taxis everywhere. Not here. The couples who stay here get it — they’ve rated the location 9.9, and after exploring the area myself, I totally understand why. You can wander to Hongya Cave in about ten minutes, grab authentic hotpot without venturing far, and actually feel like you’re experiencing real Chongqing.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in faced the river confluence, and honestly, watching the city light up at night from that height never got old. The space feels thoughtfully designed — not huge, but everything has its place. The bed was actually comfortable (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case), and the bathroom had decent water pressure. What I appreciated most was how quiet it stayed despite being in such a bustling area. The air conditioning worked properly too, which matters a lot in Chongqing’s humid climate.

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The breakfast buffet surprised me — it’s got a solid mix of Western options and local dishes, so you can ease into the day with something familiar or dive straight into Chongqing flavors. They also offer breakfast to go, which came in handy when I had an early river cruise planned. And here’s something that’ll save you money and hassle — free parking is available right at the hotel. In a city where parking can be a nightmare and expensive, that’s actually a big deal.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.3 rating, this place clearly does something right, and after staying here, I think it’s the combination of location and genuine service. The staff knows the neighborhood well — they gave me directions to a local market I never would have found otherwise. It’s not trying to be the fanciest hotel in town, but it delivers on what matters most: a comfortable stay in an unbeatable location. You’re paying for the experience of being right in the middle of everything Chongqing has to offer, and honestly, that’s worth quite a bit.

• Beth from United States – 5 April 2025 (10/10)

  We really loved the view in our room! As we were foreigners, the staff was so helpful in setting everything up for us and making sure that we had everything we needed. The location was wonderful and conveniently located to the train.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast could've been a little better, but overall it was good.

• Li from Netherlands – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very good location and new and good service . But you can tell the hotel rooms were renovated in a slightly cheap and rushed way. All in all good. Breakfast ok too. Western but also you can get freshly made Chongqing noodles.

• Robin from Switzerland – 4 March 2025 (7/10)

  The hotel and its rooms were nice. Unfortunately, the staff does not speak English. Also finding the hotel was not easy at the first time because every sign is in mandarin. But overall nice place!
  
  What could be improved: English skills could be improved.
