Chengdu Hostels

Situated within the old town. Filled with food options downstairs. Many stores as well. Touristy place. Don’t expect too much for this price. The general area and room are clean enough. Mattress is thin but didn’t bother me much for my three nights stay. Squad toilet with shower overhead. Small cubicle but enough to move around and does it’s work. Might be hard to find the place, so give the boss a call when you are in the area. He will guide you up this apartment. Stairway is dark and dirty. But then again, for this price. Go with an open mind. Eight person dorm has window that opens out to the outside. Whereas the four person room is much smaller and window opens out to the living room. Btw, the boss stay in the hostel compound too. He’s happy to share his travel stories and recommend places to go.

You might be a little worried if you don't know how to check in until the last minute, and if you don't speak English or Chinese. When I arrived, the owner was very kind and helped me with a lot of things. The kitchen window was wide open, so it was a little cold inside the building, and the bunk beds had no curtains, so there was no private space at all, but aside from that, the environment was very good. There were people always occupying the living room and sofa, which are shared spaces, and I'm not sure if they were tourists or related people, but you might find it a little uncomfortable. There were no particular cleaning rules, which are common in dormitories, and the check-out time was arbitrary, which was nice, so I felt it was a laid-back place that was typical of Chengdu.

This hostel has a great location and is very convenient for transportation. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the service is attentive, making for a very pleasant stay. Most importantly, the price is really affordable. Highly recommend!

Instead of reviewing the hostel itself, I really want to rant about all the 'fairies'🧚‍♀️ who stay there!!! The bathroom is where all these divinities gather to refresh themselves, and here are the 'refreshment traces': 1. Tissues, face towels, empty disposable toothpaste packets, mask sheets, etc., left haphazardly on the vanity! 2. Shampoo sachets, mask packaging, tissues, etc., casually tossed on the bathroom floor! 3. Makeup or makeup remover waste left randomly at the hairdryer station! And now for the higher-level 'fairies' and their traces: 4. Leftover excretions in the toilet bowl (I dared not open my eyes! I hope it was just my imagination!) 5. The 'clean freak fairy' used three disposable toilet seat covers plus several tissues (provided by the hostel) to wrap the toilet seat, used it to their satisfaction, and then gracefully departed, without bothering to put the trash in the bin! I'd like to curse you right here: ***!!! 6. Grossly wasting the free tissues provided by the hostel and littering them everywhere!!! The hostel has genuinely tried its best to provide a convenient and clean space. There are free tissues and disposable toilet seat covers in the toilet, a trash collector right next to the vanity, hand towels provided, and a bin under the dressing table. What the hell???? You all look so glamorous when you step out, but what? Do you reveal your true forms in the bathroom?? Is there some kind of magic spell in there??? I've stayed in many hostels, but this is the first time I'm complaining about the people staying in one—no, these are fairies!!! Is it really that hard to care for public hygiene? Is it really that hard to be a decent human being??? Attached are some beautiful photos I took at the hostel, to cleanse your eyes!

Chengdu is a very comfortable city to stay in. Even though it rained occasionally during my few days here, there's a lovely atmosphere perfect for enjoying a coffee in a cafe and watching the rain. The facilities here are quite comprehensive too! You can watch movies, play games, chat, sing and play instruments, have a drink in the evening, and even hit the gym in the basement. It's fantastic!

The location of the hostel is very good, but the cleanliness was terrible. There were literally mushrooms growing near the sink in the bathroom. On top of that, I had a horrible experience with another guest in my dorm. When I arrived, she approached me wagging her finger like she was lecturing a child, demanding the room door stay open for fresh air because she disliked perfume (even though the AC was running). The next day, she flung the door wide open even tho she saw me getting dressed, which led to an argument. The night before my checkout, between 10 PM and 1 AM, she opened the door 3 times. When I woke up past midnight due to her noise, she was loudly complaining and slammed the door open. I was mad and immediately closed it and told her in English to be quiet. She grabbed my arm and tried to push me aside to open the door, while shouting at me and saying in English that this is a public room. She went to the reception to complain about me. The staff immediately blamed and accused me of spraying perfume in the middle of the night without even asking for my side of the story. Later, it turned out I hadn't sprayed anything. Although the staff eventually apologized, the way the situation was handled was completely unprofessional and unacceptable.

The location is fantastic, less than a ten-minute walk to Wenshu Monastery, and it's really easy to find. The environment is very quiet, and the beds in the quad room are bigger than dorm beds. There are also dedicated lockers for your belongings, which is a thoughtful touch. The en-suite bathroom has an East Asian style, while the room itself is decorated with a charming wooden, classic touch. The bedding smells lovely, with a subtle floral scent, and there were no hairs or dander – very clean. There's air conditioning and a very responsive hot water system. Most importantly, it's very close to both Wenshu Monastery and People's Park. This hostel is truly unique! What really captivated me was the cat downstairs; I honestly could spend all day just petting that sweet kitty. I'm very satisfied and definitely planning a second visit in the autumn!

I stayed at Chengdu XiangPi Inn for one night (April 14–15, 2026) and booked a bed in the 6-person male-only shared room. Overall, it was a solid budget-friendly option, but there are a few things worth noting depending on what you’re looking for. The biggest plus is definitely the price—you get exactly what you pay for, and for a short stay it does the job. The room itself was fairly basic but functional. The bed was decent enough for one night, and the space didn’t feel overly cramped despite having multiple occupants. That said, privacy is minimal, as expected in a shared dorm setup. Cleanliness was okay, though not perfect. The shared bathroom was usable but could have been maintained a bit better, especially during busier hours. If you’re particular about hygiene, this is something to keep in mind. The atmosphere was quiet enough when I stayed, and most guests were respectful, which made it easier to rest. Staff interactions were limited but smooth—check-in and check-out were straightforward without any issues. Overall, Chengdu XiangPi Inn is a practical choice if you’re traveling on a tight budget and just need a place to sleep for a night or two. It’s not luxurious, but it’s functional and reasonably comfortable for short stays.

At fhe first, I could bot find the hotel, but I talked to the owner and she was so kind and promptly videocalled me and gave me instructions how to get to the hotel which is near to the bus station. The location of the hotel is very convenient, nearby you have a park, many restaurants, pharmacy, bus station. The hotel has some local people many of them were very friendly to me, we shared the food and sit next to each other for some time and talked in chinese. The owner of the hotel can speak English and she will give the clients the best service, she is really outspoken, caring and kind. The bathroom is public, you can share it with others, you can wash your clothes and then hang it. I enjoyed my staying, it is like a dormitory, you have your own bed, but you share the room with the others as the same gender as you.

This hostel is super convenient and easy to find. The staff were really friendly and helpful during check-in. The bunk bed I was assigned was easy to get in and out of, and the bedding was very clean. I was also very satisfied with their bathroom facilities.
