I was recently at the Sofitel Forebase Chongqing on an extended business stay (2 weeks), and this hotel exemplifies the problems the Chinese service and hotel industry will face as it tries to catch up to worldwide standards. Firstly, in China, an excessive number of hotels are awarded 5-star status, but many times, these properties are merely given these certificates... More

The lobby is impressive and welcoming, and rooms are modern, spacious and well-appointed. Beds were firm and gave me a really, really... More

Chose the hotel pick up service - it was efficient, the Audi A6 was in perfect condition, and most of all it was cheaper than that offered by CX holidays! Room was pleasant but the furniture was the worse for wear (suspect this is due to poor quality). Breakfast was ordinary. Ate in the Japanese restaurant for dinner and the... More
