Chongqing Desti Youth Park Hostel Liberation Monument, hotel in Chongqing

Well situated in Chongqing, Chongqing Desti Youth Park Hostel Liberation Monument provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a bar.

I've been travelling to 50+ countries and stayed in countless hostels but it's safe to say that Desti Is in my top 3 when It comes to the level of service provided and price quality ratio. The staff is friendly and helpful,.most speak English and the ones who are still learning will still do their best to help. I had many tips and advice to what to visit and they make amazing coffees! The common area is spacious and well equipped, both for leisure or working. They also have draught beers and a good selection of wine, I mean what not to love? The sleeping dorms are comfortable and warm in winter ,great level of privacy with blackout curtains , lockers for your valuables and charging station in each bed with USB plugs, The towel is provided for free and the linen were spotlessly clean. You also have a laundry area with dryer for a quick and affordable wash in the common bathroom. Location is also great, 15 mins walk to downtown area and close to the mountain alleys for nice walks. I am also in the business and I can tell you guys are doing a fantastic job, well done ✅

Smiley's Long Time No See Hostel, hotel in Chongqing

Well set in Chongqing, Smiley's Long Time No See Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a bar.

To be honest the only positive I have to say about this place would be location, and that would be only based of food market down below and subway station. Well the price is okey for what you get. So economically speaking sure. But there are other hostels in Chongqing that you should pick! I'm surprised that this hostel have such high grades in general.

Riverside International Youth Hostel阅江老院青年旅舍, hotel in Chongqing

Riverside International Youth Hostel阅江老院青年旅舍 has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Chongqing.

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.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The facilities in this hostel are good, but the people are what really made it great! The owner made fresh bread every day and supplied free ice lollies in the freezer. He also recommended tons of activities and made me an itinerary for my stay. I don't think I've ever felt more welcomed into a hostel, and I couldn't recommend it enough.

    A very good stay. Very comfortable beds. Of course this review is regarding a hostel, not a hotel. Still expect to get a hostel bed. But for being so cheap, comfortable, clean, good location and nice staff as well, there wasn't anything to complain. It was my second time here after staying there during pre pandemic. And I felt they were doing their work with the same spirit I felt already last time. Really taking care of the people, and you can feel that they are making effort to give you a good stay.

    I really loved Only Cafe and Backpacker hostel and the stuff working there. The location it's superb, the views from the rooftop and balcony are insane, the installations are cleaning and really good value for the price, and they often bake bread which is amazing for snaking. I would absolutely go back and I 100% recommend it.

    The hostel has a great location, only a few minutes away from metro line 1. Everything in the central part of Yuzhong District is easily reachable and accessible. Sounds obvious, but it is a hostel, so you get what you pay for. In this sense, however, the private room that we had was a decent size with a huge bed, and the room is well-provided with electric sockets.
