    Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, helpful and attentive; a few reports of management not adequately handling noise complaints.

    Rooms are described as clean and well organized but multiple guests mention uncomfortable beds and some outdated/deteriorated installations.

    Good social amenities (bar, pool table, table tennis, laundry, organised activities) although some lack of kitchen/dishes and limited shared-bathroom capacity were noted.

  • Value for Money7.8

    Mixed: some guests praise excellent bar prices and activities, but others feel the hostel does not justify its price given noise or worn facilities.

  • Food and Beverage8.6

    Bar and organised food activities (dumpling making) are positives; coffee was noted as good but somewhat expensive by some guests.

  • Overall Experience9.6

    Generally a very social, well-located and clean hostel with attentive staff and fun activities; however, noise in corridors and occasional facility/cleanliness issues detract for some (not recommended by a few).

What I liked: I stayed in a single room and really liked its style. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. When I arrived in Chengdu, I had no internet, and the staff at check-in helped me a lot with my phone. They also wrote a note in Chinese for a nearby restaurant to make sure I wouldn’t be served meat, as I don’t speak the language. Very thoughtful and welcoming!

What I didn’t like: The bed and bathroom were clean, but unfortunately, I found a fairly large cockroach near the entrance of my room. Luckily, I managed to chase it away, and it ran off. Still, it was unpleasant.
