Novo Hotel Chongqing

within walking distance to the train station.

Bed are super rock hard, the actual location of the hotel is hard to find, especially at night. Limited selection for breakfast.

Hotel Review: Novo Hotel Chongqing Address: Floor 12, Building 1, Area B, Huayubeicheng Zhongyanghui, No. 58 East Section of Taishan Avenue, Yubei District, Chongqing, China Stay Duration: 6 days / 5 nights Rate: RM224.00 per night Dates: 30 April – 5 May We stayed at Novo Hotel Chongqing during China’s Labour Day holiday, which is one of the busiest travel periods in the country. During this time, hotel rates across the city soared—many doubling or even tripling their usual prices. Considering this, the rate we paid for Novo Hotel was quite reasonable, and overall, we felt it offered great value for money. The hotel is located between Chongqing city center and the international airport, making it a convenient stop for travelers. It’s just a short walk to several local eateries, a subway station, and the train station—making it easy to explore the city and beyond. Personally, I find any location near a subway station extremely convenient, and this hotel ticked that box perfectly. The surrounding neighborhood also offered plenty of hidden gems—spots that aren't typically featured on tourist itineraries. We enjoyed wandering the area and discovering local life away from the usual crowds. Like many hotels in Chongqing, this one was a bit tricky to locate at first. The lobby is situated on the 12th floor of a multi-use building, which houses several different hotels on various floors. This setup is fairly common in the city, but first-time visitors may find it confusing. Fortunately, the friendly locals were more than willing to help us find our way. Though the hotel doesn’t have an in-house restaurant, the room itself met all our expectations. It was comparable to rooms in three- or even four-star hotels: clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with a king-size bed, sofa, TV, fridge, window view, and other basic amenities. Housekeeping kept the room tidy throughout our stay, and the staff were consistently polite, helpful, and attentive to our needs.

The signboard is not easy to find. Kindly publish your building photos. People who is unable to read Chinese will have diffiulty to find the location is no English signage is available.

good simple breakfast. tasty sandwiches and noodles. excellent and helpful front desk manager. Good location opposite the metro at railway station. Lots of local restaurants nearby with delicious food. . Room was clean and comfortable. Overall very good value for money

I found the bed too soft for me but I prefer very hard beds.

Nice and homely breakfast -- warm, tastely and light.

I spent there only one night waiting for my train departure from Chongqing North train station. For this purpose the location was perfect. 5min walking distance to the station. The lady at the reception was very kind and patient when I had problems with the local payment system. She was understanding and supportive. Good pre-arrival communication. Reception is sending detailed instructions how to use public transport to reach the hotel from the airport. Very helpful.

Not really a minus but personally I had difficulties to find the entrance to the hotel. Just a tip for iphone maps app users: it’s easier to navigate to litian hotel or viena international hotel. It’s the same building (if you stay with your face in front of viena hotel the entrance to novo will be around left corner).

Location

It’s very clean and tidy, and the room is so pretty with different room topics! It’s very convenient to go to the center of the city because of two metro lines. The staffs are so friendly, so I’m very grateful.

Nothing.

Great hospitality

It was really close to subway line 10, 3 and staff was friendly. Thank you

Terrible location, on the outskirts and not city center. Hotel entrance is dirty and sketchy, don’t feel safe. People are gambling downstairs, not comfortable for us. Not recommend for tourists since it’s so far away from town and attractions. We originally payed for 3 nights, but left after only one night since we didn’t feel safe.

Good connection with Subway Line 10. Delicious sandwiches for breakfast

The Hotel entrance is a bit confusing

The location was great for us as it was near the train station.

nothing-it was as expected.

Very convenient for Chongqing North station which was my main criteria. Room very good size and clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Not much other facilities at hotel.

I chose this hotel based upon its location close to Chongqing North Railway station. The name of the hotel was changed recently to the NOVO Hotel and that is what is displayed once you find the place. A taxi dropped us off in the vicinity of the address we provided but there are no signs visible of the hotels entrance. I was fortunate enough to have a wife that can speak Mandarin so after asking some shop owners we were able to find an entrance to a lift lobby in the centre of a high rise building and went up to the 12th floor. When the lift doors opened, there was a well lit sign that displayed NOVO HOTEL. The reception desk was manned by a young lady that had no English skills so it was over to my wife to get us checked into our room. The hotel occupies the entire 12th floor and has been fully renovated to a high standard and has been decorated in very pleasing and relaxing tones throughout. Our room was reasonably large and contained two comfortable double beds, flat screen TV and decent bathroom. The owner and his staff prepare an adequate buffet breakfast that was included in the price of the room and was surprisingly tasty. We found all of the staff to be very helpful and can easily recommend this hotel to others looking for a short stay. There are plenty of taxis available and the staff offered their assistance by calling a Didi (similar to Uber). We needed a large 7 seat van for all of our luggage when we checked out and the staff ordered the vehicle and helped us to take the bags downstairs and load them into the car. Excellent value here.
