Guest Reviews
- Tommy (10/5): Great - Great price and good vibe Nothing
- Sharon (10/5): - Location
Staff Directions instructions are a bit tricky to follow
- Zdzislaw (7/5): - Skromnie ale wszystko ok
- Lisa Maria (7/5): -
- Rocco (7/5): - Was really nice, they did a free dumpling making class, that was really fun, and overall also really nice staff
- Charlotte (7/5): Ok hostel - The beds had curtains and towels were provided which was appreciated and the shower was hot. This is a pretty basic hostel which for the price you can't complain. It is worth noting that the 4 bed dorm is on top of the 6 bed dorm so while the 4 bed dorm is more private you are sharing 2 toilets and a shower with the 6 bed dorm (you have to walk through the 6 bed dorm to get to the toilet)
- Lucio Moises (10/5): Muy bueno y económico - Muy buena ubicación, Jasón el dueño tiene un trato excelente y ayudó en muchas cosas a la hora del transporte, pedir comida y más Todo estuvo muy bien.
- Anatoliy (10/5): -
- Ernesto (9/5): - Friendly staff
- marisol (10/5): -
- KONRAD JULIUSZ (9/5): - Location near interesting places, helpful staff, nice beds Lack of toiletries at bathroom, no one speak English, terrifying silence at common room..
- Ellis (10/5): -
- Rosa Isabella (10/5): It’s absolutely everything you can ask for at this price. Amazing location nice facilities and lovely service. - It’s absolutely everything you can ask for at this price. Amazing location nice facilities and lovely service.
- Mélanie (7/5): - Central near many restaurants. The 6 bed dormitory accomodates 10 girls contratry to the description of the room. And there is only one shower and 2 toilets for 10 girls when all the beds are occupied.
The mattress was so hard it was impossible to remain asleep all night without my back hurting. No lockers in the room but there are lockers on the ground floor. The pictures are edited and the room looks more gloomy in real life.
- JORGE OLIVER (7/5): Ubicación - Tiene buena ubicación, el personal fue amable y ayudo en darme información. No tenia taquillas para guardar maleta ni mochila, el propietario me dijo que alguna cosa de valor pordria dejarlo en recepción y se agradece, como sugerencia un poco mas de limpieza, para pasar una noche va bien.
- Alexander (8/5): - Gezellige mensen en een toplocatie Foto's van hostel zagen er veel netter uit dan in het echt.
- Janine (6/5): - The room was freezing.. there was no heating system, just extra blankets which didn’t keep anyone warm
- Jeeyou (10/5): - had a really great stay at this hostel! everything was pretty much perfect from the moment I arrived. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, and always happy to help with anything. facilities were clean and well maintained, the bed was also very comfortable😸 i had really great experience and would definitely recommend this place to others i'd happily stay here again! best place in cq👍 10/10 nothing
- Elena (8/5): - Owner was really nice, large bedroom with a good view. The mattress was very hard, I couldn’t have a proper sleep, bathroom in the room wasn’t great.
- Koral (8/5): -
- Flynn (10/5): Fantastic place to stay with an amazing location great owner. - How friendly and welcoming the owner (Jason) is how well he accommodated us. That we were able to hire scooters for very cheap. The location is perfect right next to good food/ convent stores the showers were great toilets clean room air conditioned has everything you need in a hostel. That we didn’t stay longer.
- opale (9/5): -
- Davy (10/5): -
- Tatiana (10/5): Excelente! - Da localização e da limpeza.
- S (8/5): - Good stay if your looking for something cheap in a good location Mattress is very thin. Bring your own towel as this hostel does not provide them!
- ILLONA ZANETA (10/5): Recommended, tourist friendly and affordable! - Oh I love everything here. The service is amazing. The staffs are great. The hostel’s near from tourists attractions. They provide everything and it’s very comfy. Heavy traffic from 4:00 in the afternoon until 9:00.
- Louise (8/5): -
- Wai Hoong (9/5): A simple, no-frills place to stay that meets all my expectations and provides incredible value. - Very clean, quiet and safe place with decently comfortable beds. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. A great location close Shibati and Jiefangbei. Can occasionally detect a slight hint of cigarette smoke at the sleeping area as the smoking / eating area is nearby.
- K (1/5): - None 日本人は人種差別を受ける可能性があるので予約しないで下さい。
中年の男性の受付にパスポートを見せたら予約をキャンセルするよう強要されました。困惑していると態度が悪いとか中国にはもう来るなと言われ、その後この様なメッセージが送られてきて精神的にダメージを受けました。翻訳アプリで意思疎通が上手くできなかったのか、時期的に政治で揉めている影響だとは思いますが、国際ホステルとしてふさわしくない対応だと感じました。
中国早已不是八十年前的中国,我们不会再次被日本人摆布,你对待我们的态度太不友好了,我不会去日本,如果要去日本,我会穿上军装去。11/22 17:59
- Dheniez (10/5): - ✅pak jason yang baik hati, yang menjelaskan kepada saya bagaimana menemukan hostelnya, dimana saya sempet merasa bingung tapi akhirnya beliau datang menjemput saya di Kinxuan elevator (Terima kasih sekali pak🙏)
✅Check in mudah sekali, kamar nyaman, kamar mandi bersih, tempat makan yang nyaman dan bisa liat pemandangan sungai
✅Lokasi hotel dekat dari semua transportasi dan dekat tempat wisata.
Akan kembali kesini lagi, jika saya ke Chongqing ✌✌ nothing all perfect
- Zakariya (8/5): Good location, price and friendly staff - Close by to everything you need. The pillow was incredibly thin.
- Francesco (8/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Vanessa (8/5): - Clean and well located. The staff was also very friendly and helpful sharing infos about how to spend the new year. The room is quite big. Even though it's not super close to the subway station, it's still not that far. The environment is very calm, not really a social hostel.
- Guerrero (9/5): Recomendable - La ubicación y el precio Nada
- Armand (9/5): -
- Mathis (7/5): -
- Cristian (10/5): -
- Ryan (10/5): Excellent hostel, super friendly staff, good VfM - The people running this hostel truly go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. I missed my connecting flight in Shenzhen and arrived very late in the night as a result. The man and woman running this hostel were very welcoming and accommodating to my situation, even with the inconvenience I had surely caused them.
Rooms are clean, western toilet provided, shower is clean and large, good privacy in the beds too. -
- Juho (10/5): Great overall experience - Great location in the heart of Chongqing. Comfortable and clean accomodation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Overall amazing value for money.
- jie (10/5): - The hostel is very warm and clean. Thank you for providing me with a lot of help. I will tell my friends about the hostel.
- agathe (8/5): - The localisatoin was near everything, the attrations and the metro. The personel was really nice, and the bedroom/bathroom was clean. There was a cat. It can be hard to find at first (it is chongqing) but after it's easy
- Raditya Samudra (10/5): -
- Manoj (10/5): -
- FrankQuintino (9/5): - Location and confortable
- 晶宝 (10/5): 有机会会再来 - 服务非常非常好,设施也很完备,性价比满满,环境也非常温馨
- Joshua (10/5): -
- Aino (10/5): - Hyvä hostelli, hyvä sijainti. Avulias omistaja, joka auttoi myös nähtävyyksien kanssa. Oli myös tarpeelliset palvelut: aulasta sai ostettua esim. vettä, ja kylpyhuoneesta löytyi fööni hiusten kuivaukseen. Hostellin puolesta myös pidettiin huolta majotuksen aikana ja esim.kerrottiin mahdollisuudesta lisätyynyihin ja -peittoihin. Löytyy sekä kyykkyvessa että pönttövessa. Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. ei valitettavaa. ehkä kehitysehdotuksena lukollinen lokero huoneen sisällä olisi kiva, ilmeisesti aulasta nämä jo löytyi
- JAECHUN (10/5): - Wow!!! This place is really in the center of chongqing city and so easy to find, if you have wechat account (hostel sennt me detailed way to get to the hostel from the subway station and i found it easily)
The room was so clean and comfortable and I could enjoy view from the kitchen windows, while I was having breakfast.
Staffs were so kind and friendly, too.
To me, it was really perfect for chongqing travel!!!!
If any visiting chongqing again, I will definitely come back here again! I liked the room temperature so much.
I like sleeping in a little cool temperature myself.
So it was the perfect to me.
If someone not feeling good with low room temperature, just wear one more hoodie, when sleeping. It would be fine.
- Pierre (10/5): -
- Miguel Eduardo Martinez Mora (10/5): - “My stay at [hostel name] was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, and the owner herself is a genuinely wonderful and incredibly hospitable person. Her kindness and warmth made my experience even more special. The entire place was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxing, and I felt at home from the very first moment. The location is perfect, and everything was extremely well organized. This is honestly one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. I would 100% return and recommend it to everyone.” Nothing
- Carlos (4/5): - Location is good and the staff is very welcoming you also have a lot of restaurants around. They are very honest and offer you a refund if you are not happy with the facilities. The photos from the hostel are from the good old days, when it was shiny new. When I arrived it smelled moldy, paint from the walls is peeling, beds didn't feel clean... It's lacking maintenance.
It gets the job done for 1 night but nothing more, at least for me. It was my 2nd time in Chongqing and I'm sure that you can find better places for the same price.
I hope they improve and give some love to the facilities because the location and staff is great.
- Cuijpers (8/5): - Great location and helpfull staff.

- ALSHAMRANI (10/5): -
- Juliana (10/5): Very good ! - The staff is very kind and helpful !
The location is perfect, you can visit a lot around just by walking (Shibati, Raffles City and even Great Hall of People if you really love walking) There is no kitchen place but it's ok, you can go eat out or just buy something in a convenience store :)
- eng huat (8/5): -
- Mickaël (10/5): Merci ! - C’était parfait, bien placé, le personnel était agréable les lits étaient agréable. L’auberge est vraiment géniale, je vous remercie. Il y a de quoi se faire des nouilles avec la bouilloire, il y a même des baguettes et des bols etc..
- Anja (10/5): -
- Victor (10/5): - Buen lugar para quedarse , muy equipado . La chica de la recepción super amable, me dio muy buenos consejos y ayuda. Está al lado de todo , una vez entiendas la zona es facil econtrarlo, no te agobies...siéntate y piensa Excelente calidad precio , no tengo quejas
- Evgenii (9/5): - Отзывчивый персонал, отличное расположение. Чисто и не жарко
- Staudinger (8/5): - Honestly for the 1 night i stayed it was perfectly fine. Bed was a little hard but i dindt mind it. Its perfectly situated in the city. The staff informed me of the events happening on the day and i got to enjoy a great light show and drones. Price value was just about right. 👌
- Shaun (10/5): - A professional, clean and well ran basic hostel. It is Not trying to be everything to everyone. Its stated aim is to offer the basics to travellers and some Chinese workers and students at a low cost.
The little sleeping pods are great with their own power sockets and light plus the privacy curtain. The showers and bathroom areas are good and clean and the common room is very large with huge opening windows.
The logistics to navigate around Chongching might be a bit of an issue for some people. But if you take your time and use key orientation points and the metro then anyone should be fine.
All the staff at the hostel offered a contact telephone number just in case you got totally lost and disoriented and there's always Didi taxis to fall back on.
Do Not expect anything flashy. It does the very basics very well. The hostel is very laid back, it has good security, free large lockers and cold 660ml beers for 6¥
I have travelled for over 40 years and stayed in many many hostels and I would recommend this place to Any real traveller who wants to keep their costs low.
The location is Superb and there are many local family ran food businesses and supermarkets all over the area. Approx a 12-15 min walk to the centre of time square.
- Matthew (7/5): -
- Even Skolby (10/5): I had a good time for very cheap - Good location, staff was so helpful. It is very good value for money. Mattresses are on the hard side but it did not bother me. I slept well.
- Taisiia (10/5): - I absolutely adore this place. Good location, kind welcoming hosts who are always willing to help or to advise. Rooms are clean, the bathroom is clean, and everything is working well. The vibe is chill and welcoming. You will have a good experience there. Absolutely recommend ✨️
- Bernard (10/5): - The staff is very friendly and nicely. The place also very clean and comfortable. I think nothing for me all is good
- Jan (8/5): - -helpful staff, fluent in English
- good location, easy to reach the center
- huge social area
-The -price-performance ratio is great - Bedroom could be a bit more cozy
- social area only has tables and no couches
- Jane (10/5): - Atendimento, limpeza, ele fizeram de tudo para deixar confortáveis, perto do metrô perto de alguns pontos turísticos, como a rua das comidas e vários shoppings maravilhosos.
Com certeza voltaria.
Galera descansam pelo elevador e entrem na direção da Starbucks.
- Yi Xi (9/5): -
- Melisa (8/5): - Stafnya baik dan ramah
- Cristian Gardeazabal Redondo (8/5): -
- Arkadiusz Krytowski (10/5): - Definitely good location in Chongqing. However more importantly I really appreciate very friendly and helpful staff at the hostel. I left some personal items and they managed to find, pack and send them to my next location on the same day and they were very helpful to instruct me how to receive the package. Big thank you!
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Delhan (10/5): Excellent - Like the environment, cleanliness, and the ambience. Nothing
- Russell (9/5): Extremely good value for money! - Good location, friendly helpful staff, nice rooms with private capsules, good views, charger ports and lights in each bed, good shower, extremely clean. I wish there were 2 pillows instead of one
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - Location staff facilities
- Matei (6/5): Good price but dead ambiance - It's in a good area and the beds were good. The staff spoke very bad English and the ambiance felt that of a boarding school. Very little interraction between guests after 10pm we were told to keep quiet, even in the common areas...
- Milen (9/5): Superb -
- Marius (10/5): Exceptional - very hospitable people, good value for money, great atmosphere, i recommend staying here -
- Eulalie (7/5): Great location and super nice staff - Ive stayed there for almost a week. Super nice staff, very helpful they were the best. I had been upgraded so that was great too I was in the more “private” corner of the room. The locations is also the best, everything is very near and it’s super safe.
Thee negative points :
the room was extremely cold because it’s a room that’s literally opened on the street so you feel all the air
the bathroom area was a bit of a mess and a bit dirty
there are no mattresses so you do really sleep on wood and I am not used to it which gave me a lot of bruises on my skin because of hard it was
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was ok!
- Sophia (9/5): Superb - Location was amazing, 6. Female dorm was spacious and clean. Self laundry service for very fair price.Hostel has a cat… and rents Scooter which was very nice but only recommended for experienced driver because Chongqing roads are crazy.
- Matthew (8/5): Very good - Location was fine. Evxcellent value. Staff helpfull.I enjoyed my stay. Nothing really
8
- Jack (10/5): Jason, the owner, and the front desk girl were super friendly and made me feel welcome. The hostel had all the basics, a - Cleanliness. Locality. Accessibility. They can have hand wash in the toilet
- Talisker (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gwenny (7/5): Worth the price - The staff can speak in English and he sent me the exact position on the map for the way from and to the station. And there is Facai, the cute fat cat! 😸
The location is not that far from the metro station, it's just that I didn't check my email, that I got lost when trying to go there by using gaode maps. I didn't expect that I would have to use the elevator. Fortunately, some nice people helped me. And after reaching the place directed by the map, it turned out that that one is not used anymore, but luckily they put the instructions on how to find the right place on the door of the old building.
It's also close to various tourism spots. There's no refrigerator or stove that you can use, so for anyone who wants to stay there for a long period, you can't cook or store food (the ones that need to be refrigerated)
- Mark (8/5): Very good -
- Trent (7/5): Allround a good stay - The facilities I imagine during the summer period would be amazing to hang in and the location is great. The room was pretty cold
- Kostoglou (6/5): convenient but uncomfortable:( - The location was very convenient and the staff were helpful! the wifi didn’t work in the room i stayed in, the mattresses were paper thin and it was like sleeping on wood, the pillows were also really flat. I also wish i was told there was only squatting toilets :/
- Pawel (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice people. Chongqing at night is awesome
- Lusianah (10/5): They have nice bed room, clean bathroom, big dining room with nice view and very great staff - The staff really helpfull. Eventhough they cannot speak english but they did the best to help me out with all my problems..location is great, close to everywhere, easy to get around, i am very pleased staying with this hostel and really recommend to everyone who want to visit Chongqing city. Nothing
- Stefan (5/5): Passable - Squat Toilets
Men’s rooms stinks
- Ravikumar (10/5): Located in the business district, value for money and impressive staff. - Great location, it is located in the business district and great value for money.
Hostel has everything we need. special thanks to the helpful, smart and courteous staff. They identified my WeChat just using this booking details and sent the location map(which is very necessary) that's pretty smart...😊
- Kajetan (10/5): Exceptional - Family atmosphere, very clean, great localization and so friendly employees :)
- Sandarbh (9/5): Friendly staff, good location and value for money - The staff was pretty helpful and spoke basic English. They helped us arrange e-scooters to go around. The hostel is clean and although the location is not especially great, it's in the city center and you can take an e-scooter to go around anywhere. There are no western toilets, only the squatting ones.
- Greta (10/5): Exceptional - The stuff was extremely nice and welcoming! The dormitory was HUGE compared to what we were used here in China and it was always clean. It was very well located and the city view was AMAZING at night! Nothing!
