Dirty and begging for refurbishment. Bathrooms are dirty, showers covered in mould, and only if you’re lucky will you find toilet paper. The only hostel I have ever stayed in that has made me make my own bed. I assume this is because if they entered the dorms they’d be confronted with the persistent bad smell and general lack of cleanliness. Positives are the friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and the truly incredible views.

Great place to stay highly reconmended! It’s hard to find, would be handy to put some small signs or stickers on where to go. (Enter On the north-east side of the building and take first elevator top floor). Bathrooms are a bit old and tight but very doable. Western toilets!! Best of all is the view! Also quite a social hostel. And staff is very kind :) there is free home made bread!

Es muy buen hostel, lo mejor de todo creo que es la ubicacion, esta en el corazon de la ciudad y todo lo tienes cerca. Lo unico que se me fue dificil, fue dar con el hostel, la verdad que lo sufri, aunque despues de 1 semana de haberme ido, revisando mis correos, me doy con la sorpresa que mandaron un correo en donde me señalaba como dar con el hostel, solo que no revisaba mi correo debido al viaje que tenia

Loved staying at this hostel! The staff are amazing! The little sitting room is very cozy and there’s free tea. The owner has made his own book of all the things to do in Chongqing and surrounds which is very helpful. The hostel was very clean and there’s free location is perfect.

Very nice staff who gave us great recommendations for the city. It’s also easy to meet people here, and the common area is great. Don’t even get me started on the view. It’s awesome! Definitely recommend!

Exceptionnel, ne regardez même pas les autres hostels. Le gérant est d’une rare gentillesse, tout est propre, il ne manque rien, il y a du pain fait maison chaque matin, des livres de recommandation d’adresses, un espace commun agréable et même un rooftop digne d’un véritable hôtel ! Un séjour génial, on se sent vraiment à la maison.

Wir haben fünf Nächte dort verbracht und es war einfach wunderschön. Dank der detaillierten Beschreibung per E-Mail war die Anreise unkompliziert. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und alles wurde uns in Ruhe auf den vier Etagen gezeigt. Besonders toll fanden wir den eigenen Touristenguide mit hilfreichen Tipps. Die Aussicht von der Dachterrasse ist ein echtes Highlight. Es war mit Abstand ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt – absolut nur zu empfehlen.

Rooftop, balcony, lounge area, clean rooms, and amazing people. Overall experience was amazing; the views from the 31st floor is surreal, and the pricing is great. No complaints overall, the staff was great too.

A rather small hostel to the point where it feels more like a homestay. It wasn't super social when I was there but there weren't many foreigners traveling in general at that time. The staff are great and helpful and the welcome email they send you really helps finding the place. Would stay again and from what I can tell it's the best hostel in Chongqing.

This is one of my favorite hostels hands down. If you are in Chongqing I hope you have the opportunity to stay at this hostel because it really made the experience for us! The owners are super nice and extremely well informed on the city so much they have written an entire book on the city and they have made a map of how to get to the best attractions from there. The beds are cozy and the place is warm not to mention the dorms feel very private. Definitely will visit here again next time I come!
