The staff were great, really helpful and all spoke English. The room was comfortable and towels were changed every day. We had shower gel, shampoo, a hairdryer, and a TV. The beds were quite comfortable. There is a pool table in the hostel and a little chill out room. They helped us organise trips and gave great suggestions of where to go in the city. The peoples park and the wide and narrow alleys were 2 of my favourite places, and Anshun bridge at night is stunning, there's lots of bars around here so seems to be where the nightlife is. There's a metro stop right in front of the hostel, although we mostly got taxis through didi app because they're so cheap. If you're looking for good hotpot, I can recommend Jincheng impression hotpot. It was delicious! A special thanks to May who was really helpful and organised our trip to Dujiangyan irrigation and Qingcheng mountain. It was beautiful and a really nice day out. We went through the Huanglongxi Ancient Town which was so nice and worth a visit. My favourite trip was the pandas and leshan buddha.

The hostel offers a courtyard lounge with complimentary amenities such as a pool table, books, and high-speed WiFi. Guests can enjoy a variety of free recreational activities organized by the hostel, including City Walk tours, Dumpling parties, Hotpot parties, and board game nights. The hostel's tour desk also provides budget-friendly tour options for travelers.

I had such a wonderful stay. If you're open minded and willing to meet local people, it's such a great place to make local friends who are working/studying in Chengdu and some speak English and want to practice! I was able to make friends and eat Hot pot with them. The main floor is clean and an old man, maybe the owner, cleans every morning. There's always water available. The location is great!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Good location nearby 锦鲤 , the staff exceeded expectations. The front desk staff was kindness, and friendly. The hotel was clean, the room was very comfortable and quiet but the best aspect was the service from every member of staff. Highly recommended, if you're looking for the budget hostel.

    Great location, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Must say I expected more of a chatty environment in the bar downstairs but it was relatively quiet during our stay. Partly due to off season, partly due to some renovations happening to the rooms. Still the best hostel vibe we’ve found on our trip in China so far

    Great great great location. Lots of local places to eat around for any wallet. Unlike any other hotel/hostel we stayed at in China they left slippers for taking shower. The staff is friendly. We had fresh towels and empty trash bin every day.

    Great location in a quiet, safe neighborhood (across the street from a school!) but central enough to tourist hotspots. Amenities were basic but great, really clean, comfortable beds and room layout, and it was relaxing to hang out on the roof deck.
