OR BLACK B&B absolutely stole my heart! Located in the peaceful Nan'an District at Longmenhao Street, this 2022-opened gem offers the perfect escape from Chongqing's bustling city center while keeping you connected to all the must-see attractions.

Getting There Made Easy 🚇 The location couldn't be more convenient - just 1000ft from Shanghao Metro Station! I was amazed how quickly I could reach major landmarks. Chongqing North Railway Station is only 12km away, and the international airport is roughly 20km - perfect for travelers like me who hate long commutes.

🏨 Why This Place is Special

The Numbers Don't Lie: 9.6/10 excellent rating with 315 reviews - and after my stay, I completely understand why!

What Impressed Me Most:

Brand new facilities (opened 2022) - everything feels pristine and modern
Unbeatable value - I paid only $94 for a Premium Queen Room (originally $210!)
Genuine hospitality - 9.7/10 service rating is well-deserved
Stunning architecture - The black and white design aesthetic is Instagram-worthy


🛏️ Room Experience: Premium Queen Room

Stayed in their 30㎡ Premium Queen Room on the 2nd floor and was blown away! The space felt much larger than expected, with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the room with natural light. The queen bed was incredibly comfortable - I slept like a baby every night.

Room Highlights:

Modern amenities - Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, private bathroom
Thoughtful touches - Fresh towels daily, quality toiletries, cozy lighting
Storage space - Plenty of room for a week's worth of luggage
Quiet atmosphere - Despite being centrally located, surprisingly peaceful


🍽️ Breakfast Experience

The included breakfast was a delightful surprise! They offer a varied selection featuring both local Chongqing specialties and international options. Fresh fruit, congee, steamed buns, eggs, and even some Western choices. The dining area overlooks their charming courtyard - such a peaceful way to start the day.



🎯 Proximity to Attractions

This location is a traveler's dream! Within walking distance:

Chongqing Yangtze River Cableway (1600ft) - Must-do experience!
Shangxin Street (550ft) - Great for evening strolls
Longmenhao Old Street (2850ft) - Perfect for cultural immersion
Nanshan A Tree (3350ft) - Best city views in Chongqing
