About

The Only Cafe and Backpacker is housed in in Jiefangbei, Yuzhong District, Chongqing City. We are located in the heart of Chongqing City. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to Monument of People's Liberation. The nearest Metro Station Jiao Chang Kou is 100 meters away, It only takes 2 minutes to walk, and the nearest airport bus and high-speed railway bus station only takes 5 minutes to walk. We are on the top floor of a high building, the coffee shop With great view on the 33rd floor .Downstairs is food street, hot pot shop around, and Chongqing's most famous small noodles shop (flower market wan za noodles), opened for decades Shancheng Mutton House and so on. It only takes a few minutes to walk from Chongqing's most famous place Luohan Temple, Hongya Cave and the Shi Ba Ti.
The Blue and White Porcelain style will leave you a special impression and remind you of ancient and modern China.
Guests can enjoy a cup of coffee in the cafe or have some drinks at the bar. Doing some reading in the mini library is also a good choice.

The setup is a little unusual: it has a coffee shop on the top, so the place is well-lighted and well-ventilated, On a sunny afternoon open a book would be really comfortable. sitting on our 20 meters long balcony enjoy rainy day would be a great idea.

Each dorm is fitted with clean bedding. Rooms are comfortable with everything you'd expect and the beds are decent.

We have a big and comfortable seating area with a decently stocked bar. The place is decked out in some beautiful repaired antique furniture, some of which even can date back to the Qing dynasty. And many painting are dotted around the walls. The whole thing looks fantastic and we would like to share the stories behind it with you. We will give free welcome coffee to our each guess.

Had a really nice stay here great location right near plenty of food streets and options and the subway. A little bit difficult to find I would suggest asking in the HostelWorld group chat to see if someone can come out and meet you if you get lost. The most friendly staff Yoyo was so kind with the best suggestions and always up for a chat!

I’ve been here several times, and it just keeps getting better every single visit. The coffee is hands‑down the best I’ve had in China. The blueberry pie is a must‑try for everyone — truly ONLY IN ONLY CAFE. The location is fantastic. The rooftop garden at dusk is absolutely stunning. You might even get to watch drone shows. There is some view obstruction, but what more could you ask for?
