Chengdu Hostels

"Highly recommended for backpackers! This budget-friendly hostel is located right in the heart of the city near Chunxi Road. It offers great facilities with choices of both dorms and private rooms. The location is unbeatable—close to tons of restaurants, the metro, and the airport bus. Plus, the staff speak excellent English. Perfect stay!"

"The room was very clean, and the hotel itself had a charming, old-fashioned, vintage feel. You enter through a large, antique-style courtyard which gives it a lot of character and makes it very recognizable. The price was reasonable, and the service was good. A great choice!"

"I had such a comfortable stay in the four-person dorm at Backpackers Ten Years Hostel on Chunxi Road in Chengdu this time! The location is truly unbeatable. It's super close to Chunxi Road, making it incredibly convenient for shopping and visiting attractions. Subway and bus stops are also easy to find, which is perfect for anyone wanting to explore all of Chengdu. The four-person dorm was clean and tidy, and the beds were very comfortable. The bedding had a subtle, fresh scent, completely avoiding the usual messy feeling of multi-person dorms. Each bunk had its own curtain and charging port, showing great attention to both privacy and convenience, which I really appreciated. The common areas were also well-maintained, with a lounge and a kitchen. It was lively chatting with friends from all over the world – the atmosphere was fantastic. The staff, both the guys and girls, were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering all my questions and even recommending Chengdu's best food and travel routes. They made me feel very welcome. The value for money is excellent too. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Chengdu!"

"After checking in at the front desk, you can store your luggage and shoes, pick up slippers and your room card, then head to your room. **Facilities:** There's a lounge area, dining area, balcony, and a bar where you can choose to have dinner in the evening. **Accommodation:** The lodging is separated by gender. The women's section has independent washing machines, dryers, garment steamers, and a vanity room. The vanity room even has curling irons and straighteners! Each bed has its own locker that can be opened with your room card. The room also has a full-length mirror. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioning keeps it wonderfully cool. There were even candies by the bedside. It truly feels perfect for women – safe, comfortable, and even smells nice! For dinner, you can choose to eat with everyone and play board games; it's quite lively! The cat has good boundaries. If you pet it, it'll play with you, but if you don't touch it, it'll keep its distance 🥰"

"The facilities are quite comprehensive, and it offers great value for money. There's a common area on the second floor where you can meet other travelers, so overall, I was pretty satisfied with my stay. However, during my several-day stay, the staff didn't inform me that I could get a free bottle of water daily. When I asked about it later, after being there for three days, the staff member was reluctant to give me what was rightfully mine—just one bottle of water. That was completely unnecessary and quite a mood killer. Their service awareness definitely needs improvement."

"The emplacement is rather nice, it's in a narrow street that allows for a more peaceful environment. If you want to call taxis though, they won't get in, you will have to walk to the bigger road (very close by) To get to the reception, you will have to climb stairs. If you get a room with shared toilets, just be sure you can handle squat toilets. The walls are rather thin but earplugs are being provided. The shared shower area only has heads that can't be moved from the wall. The shared room has thin mattresses, if you can't handle it, I would recommend a private room instead. If the room is full of luggage, it's possible to put some under the bed."

"Let me start with a little incident. My duvet had a strange smell, like it hadn't dried properly or perhaps sweat – I couldn't quite tell, but it wasn't yet at the point of a foul, damp odor. Since I got into bed at 3 AM, I didn't report it immediately. I sniffed around for a long time, and only that one area (the part circled in the picture) had the weird smell; everywhere else was perfectly normal. I didn't notice it upon check-in because the duvet was folded, and the smelly part was on the underside. After sniffing for half an hour, I finally messaged the owner on WeChat. The night shift guy replied instantly and brought new linens. As it was a female dorm, I took it out to change it (I initially wanted to remove the duvet cover on the bed, but the zipper was so good, it made a very loud noise and wasn't the kind that opens easily with a gentle pull. So, I ended up taking it outside to change).😴 The hostel is a bit of a walk from the subway station, but it's not hard to find and quite prominent. As soon as I walked in, someone came to greet me. Since I hadn't booked yet and wanted to see a well-lit bed in person, they immediately showed me a few empty beds. They explained the check-in procedures and location very thoroughly, and even mentioned that the sink in the shower room had hot water, but the one in the toilet didn't. The decor features very beautiful color schemes (if I ever buy a house, I want to use these colors too, hehehehe!). There are also ripple-effect lights. It's quiet, even during the day. Takeout deliveries are placed on a counter by the door. There are clear umbrellas available for rent at the entrance, but I don't know the price, as I didn't ask. The washing machine is a TCL, and the air conditioner and dryer are Xiaomi. There are seven shower rooms. The showerheads are good quality, a creamy yellow color, and the water pressure is excellent. When I showered, it was already 10 PM, and there was no queue. I don't know about earlier. There are many squat toilets in the bathroom, but I think only one Western toilet. The squat toilets are black (a pure black mixed in with a bunch of soft colors). There are three hair dryers (one by the sink in the bathroom). I think they are Laifen (maybe). One is pink, one is blue. The bathroom is white. The fan in the hair dryer room felt broken. When I turned it on, there was no wind from the front, only a little from the side. I suspect the fan blades might be installed backward. The bed was soft, felt like slow-rebound memory foam – I absolutely loved it. The bed frame is made of cement, so there's only a slight sound of the mattress rubbing (the sofa against the wall outside is also cement). The night light button was too loud, so I didn't dare press it and just unplugged it directly (it was loud even when unplugging it. If it were a remote control model, that would be perfect!). I got three mosquito bites on my left leg while playing on my phone in the lobby at night. I asked the front desk, and they said mosquito repellent hadn't arrived yet. If you want to sit in the lobby at night, you might want to bring your own mosquito repellent (I think they should start hanging a screen door at the entrance – the mosquitoes I saw were huge!). Okay, that's pretty much everything I can remember. I'll definitely come back to stay if I have the chance."

"Service: The hotel provides individual toiletries, slippers, earplugs, and a bottle of mineral water for each guest. Environment: The hotel exterior has a very artistic vibe. The first floor is a public dining and lounge area, and there's also a small art gallery. Right outside, you'll find the old residential area in downtown Chengdu, making life very convenient. Facilities: The men's dorm restroom has a washing machine and sinks, with separate toilet stalls. The shared large shower cubicles are all equipped with shower gel and shampoo. There's also a communal drying area. Each bunk pod has coat hooks and power outlets. Entry is via an automatic door activated by a key card. At the entrance, there are shoe cabinets for changing shoes, with each small locker clearly marked with its corresponding bunk number. However, there are a few drawbacks: the men's restroom floor is slippery and quite dirty inside. The ladders for the bunk beds are poorly designed, making it inconvenient to climb up and down. The curtain pull cords are also not very smooth, often getting stuck and making a loud noise when pulled. The hard curtains easily hit the metal railings and wooden frame of the pod, which can disturb those who are resting."

"Very warmth hospitality, arrived early morning at TFU, and found this place to rest in early morning. The auntie super kind and nice. Such a lovely aunt. Thank you for accepting my early morning arrivals. And the place is so nice. Convenient, near subways, clean and quite. Very recommended ^^ They provide you a comfortable slipper to use at the place."

"The location is fantastic, super, super, super close to shopping, and convenient for getting anywhere. The rooms are very clean, and the common areas are spacious and comfortable. The view from the window is lovely too, and the bed is comfy. I ended up extending my stay!"
