Only Cafe And Backpacker is a budget hostel near Jiaochangkou Metro Station in Yuzhong District, in central Chongqing within reach of Jiefangbei and the surrounding pedestrian streets. The property occupies a converted building typical of the neighborhood's older residential blocks, with a laid-back backpacker atmosphere built around its attached cafe and bar, a common draw for independent travelers passing through the city. Accommodation options include mixed and female-only dorm beds along with a small number of private double rooms, giving budget travelers a choice between social dorm stays and more private options. Amenities are simple but practical: free wifi throughout, a shared kitchen for self-catering, luggage storage useful for guests catching onward trains or flights, and a common lounge that doubles as the cafe/bar space where guests often gather in the evening. There is no restaurant beyond the cafe, no spa, and no fitness facilities, consistent with the hostel's budget positioning. The atmosphere is informal and traveler-oriented rather than business-focused, with staff typically able to help with basic local information and onward travel questions given the hostel's location near a metro station.
