Friendly and helpful staff who gave me great advice on exploring Chongqing. The rooftop terrace offers a stunning view. I also enjoyed the delicious cake and refreshing mint water."

Fantastic hostel! Right in the city centre, with an amazing view and lovely company. Boss was so lovely, he gave me a full debrief and tons of recommendations. The roof is really amazing in this hostel too, the sunsets are fantastic. There are also tons of little cafes and restaurants all around it. Beds were good and comfortable, with lockers provided.

Probably the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Amazing location with very clean rooms and amenities. You get a stunning view of the city from the balcony and roof of the building. They also have a coffee shop round the corner which serves great coffee. The owners go to great efforts to make sure you feel looked after and enjoy your stay. They also have a very detailed book of recommendations of places to go during your time in Chongqing. I spent a week here but could have easily spent longer. If you’re going to stay in Chongqing you should definitely stay here!

Great common spaces - the roof and the lounge/kitchen for hanging out and meeting other travelers. This is the most social hostel I stayed in in China! Very close to the metro and walking distance to lots of attractions.

The hostel is beautiful, clean, in a perfect location and with a stunning view from the rooftop. The staff is super friendly, speaks good English and is aware of every detail. They gave me good local food recommendations. Even though there's no breakfast included, you can enjoy bread and tea for free at any time, and the coffee is just perfect. Thanks for a pleasant stay!
Response from Property: thanks so much for your review! really looking forward to see you again!

Great location and even better staff. The owner and his team speak English and can give you a lot of recommendations for activities and restaurants within and around Chongqing. The hostel has a relaxed and cozy vibe. There is a common area with free tea and snacks and two terraces with a great view. The dorm rooms are rather basic but each bed comes with a curtain, lamp and charging sockets

This is where you need to stay if you visit Chongqing. The location is right in the heart of the city, close to metro stations, and even within walking distance of many of the city's attractions. The price is very affordable and my bunk had the most amazing window view! As others have said, the boss is a legend - super funny guy but also very helpful, and his wife is super lovely too. I really liked their custom guide for the city! The upstairs cafe and rooftop are fun places to hangout and meet other travellers, as well as make your morning coffee :) If I return to Chongqing I will definitely stay here again.
Response from Property: thanks so so much! it our pleasure to have you stayed with ONLY CAFE! really really looking forward to seeing you again!
