Chongqing Xinghe Rumeng Youth Hostel (Jiefangbei Hongyadong Branch) Reviews

First self running hostel I have stayed. There’s no one at the reception, ever, the owner runs it by phone. When I arrived it was one of the guests that had to call him and say I was there. If you have no Chinese phone number nor access to WeChat it’s difficult to do it yourself. The place it’s used by Chinese people manly that stay there for long periods. It’s dirty and I never saw no one cleaning it. It’s central, so for the price it’s good for one night at best. There’s a laundry machine and a place to dry up your clothes and that’s it.

Great value for money! The location is fantastic, very close to all the main attractions, making it incredibly convenient. The host was super friendly and welcoming. The facilities are comprehensive and well-maintained. Plus, there are tons of delicious and affordable food options right downstairs. Definitely a top choice, and I'll be back!

It was a bit difficult to communicate with the owner because he didn't speak English. But he was very helpful and friendly. For example, he helped me to receive a package that was sent by the post and also recommended tours to the rock cavings nearby. The guests are mainly Chinese, and as an international traveller I found it a bit difficult to connect to them. To find the hostel, just enter the building with the letter B. The security guard helped me to get to the elevator.

When I got there, there was no staff. I called the number written on the door and managed to speak to the guy in English, who gave me instructions on how to get in. Then his father came to greet me and showed me to the room. It was quite easy. There are a lot of buildings nearby, so maps can get lost. The picture I uploaded shows the exact building.

Contact the staff otherwise you will never find it. Great location with a local market right outside the door. Common area is smoking area 🤢, male toilets are equally desastrous. Rooms alright. Not much of a vibe here. Has a free water dispenser. It's still alright to stay here.

It was my first time in any youth hostel. Location is great!! Amenities were provided, there is self laundry available and clothes drying space which was really helpful. The host was very kind and friendly.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel! I loved the fact that there was a fan in each bed as well as AC and that there were seperate cubicles for the shower and the toilet rather than them being combined which is something that you don’t see much in China. They also provide disposable toiletries like shampoo, toothbrush, combs, wipes in front of the bathrooms which I really appreciate. I will say though that this place was quite tricky to find and I did need help from a local.

nice place for going somewhere, close with hongyadomg and extra. first floor there are many chongqing noodles, quite a good.

Cute hostel in a perfect location near main attractions in Chongqing. Loved the many amenities provided and comfortable room and beds. Check in was a little difficult because there was no one at the desk and you needed to contact the owner on WeChat to get information. I never met the owner but another guest helped me get checked in. Then I had to help another guest who did not have WeChat with his check in. Cleanliness was average for China. I would definitely stay again.

The hostel is very conveniently located. Close to main attractions. Beds are hard but very clean. Would recommend!

Location is the best! Metro, food, the famous square on 22 nd of floor, hayadong - all the things are walkable . Easy to find. Stuff was welcoming.

idk what to expect but it’s not this ;)

Very nice hostel in the city centre. You can easily get anywhere. Nice food court downstairs. Good room and nice administration. Next time only you :)

Its a solid Hostel with a Family atmosphare. It’s Little bit hard to find I just asked the locals they helped me. the staff is so friendly and helped me sometimes especially with the washing machine. The little cabins where you sleep in have enough space. WiFi is alright. In total a solid hostel when you remember the price
