Hostels in Sichuan, China

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard 5/5! As a girl travelling solo for the first time, I felt very safe staying and had a lot of fun. Even though it’s a hostel, the environment was comfortable and welcoming. One thing I really appreciated was the international power outlets, which was a huge plus for me. The hostel also offers transportation services to certain attractions and activities, making it very convenient for travellers. The location is excellent — being right next to Chunxi Road meant I could easily explore the city, try local food, and enjoy the area on foot. A special shoutout to the front desk staff, who were incredibly friendly and always happy to recommend places to visit. Their English was excellent as well, which made communication very easy. I would highly recommend this hostel to international travellers. If I visit Chengdu again, I would definitely choose to stay here again! ❤️✨

Just a two or three-minute walk from the bus station, which makes it super convenient for exploring the city. The front desk even helps arrange shared car charters for sightseeing. I went on a day trip to Tagong Grassland with fellow hostel guests and saw both Mount Gongga and Mount Yala. I'll definitely be back! 😍😍

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!

Having traveled to over twenty cities, this is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed in, offering incredible value for money! The moment I walked in, I thought, 'Wait, is this really what you get for this price?' It was so good, I'd honestly rate it like a four-star hotel. I would genuinely return to Chengdu just to stay at this hostel again. Plus, there are so many cats around! I was planning to visit a cat cafe, but then realized I didn't even need to, as they're right here. There are also charging ports in the lobby. I arrived early and couldn't check in yet, so I just sat in the lobby, charging my phone, enjoying the AC, and scrolling – it was so comfortable. You can also have food delivered directly here. There's a huge row of floor-to-ceiling windows where you can enjoy the city view while eating your takeout – absolutely brilliant! And the facilities are so comprehensive: there's a study room, a vanity room, a board game room, a restaurant, a small bar area, and all the basics like lockers are available. The environment looks really new and clean. I'm so, so happy; it's instantly improved my impression of Chengdu. Next time I visit, I'd probably want to stay for at least half a month. I even envision bringing my parents here to experience it in the future!

Clean and comfortable. Kind and accommodating staff. Moderately social if you go down to the common area. Private room was a good value. 10 minute walk to metro and bustling food area (Seeho self service bbq was my favorite). 40 minutes by metro to main nightlife areas (near Anshun Bridge, for example).

Highly recommend this newly opened hostel! The environment is clean, facilities are complete, and you can shower and do laundry, which is super convenient. The best part is the affordable price, making it perfect for cyclists, self-drivers, hikers, and motorbike travelers. They also have a great selection of books. And most importantly, the owner is really interesting!

Here's my review of the Chengdu Backpacker Ten Years Hostel (Branch 1): 👏Pros: 1. The atmosphere is genuinely great. The ground floor feels like a small bar where you can grab food and juice, and there’s a professional singer playing guitar. 2. The public area on the second floor is fantastic. It's cleverly designed with separate quiet and lively zones, divided by glass. There's a pool table, a board game room, and excellent areas for working or studying. 3. The decor is lovely, from the corridors to the rooms and especially the bathrooms, which are excellent. They provide disposable toilet seat covers and tissues, and all toilets are Western-style. 4. Step out of the hostel’s ground floor entrance, and you’re right on a street bustling with various eateries. Plenty of delicious food options, very convenient. 5. They offer a free bottle of mineral water, thick bath towels, and slippers. 6. The room itself is very quiet. 🙌Cons: 1. Toiletries are not provided and must be purchased if needed. 2. The room was cluttered with items belonging to long-term guests. 3. Long-term guests hung their wet clothes in the room, and some had an unpleasant smell. 4. The bathroom floor drain was slow, causing water to pool on the floor. When showering, my feet would be constantly in standing water. Also, the shower head holder was loose, so it kept sagging, making showering difficult. The clothes in the bathroom were hung on the door behind a waterproof curtain, but the curtain was perhaps too long and touched the floor, soaking up a lot of water at the bottom. When I pulled the curtain aside to grab my clothes after showering, they fell directly onto the wet floor. 5. The front desk staff lacked a proactive service mindset. I had a large suitcase, and there were steps and a glass door to navigate. Several staff members watched me struggle without offering any help. 6. There was an issue with the centralized shoe lockers. My small locker compartment was occupied by someone else's shoes, indicating shoes were left haphazardly. Shoes were also allowed into the rooms. The centralized shoe lockers didn't have locks, and many people left their shoes on top of the lockers or under the shoe-changing bench. The shoe-changing area had a strong, unpleasant odor of shoes and socks, making it difficult to breathe. 7. Long-term stays can only be paid for through online platforms; there are no discounts, and offline payment isn't an option! (Of course, I understand this might be due to platform rules). 8. The room's Wi-Fi speed wasn't great. Sending a message (especially a screenshot) in the bathroom took several seconds to go through. Backpackers, for such a big brand, can you please upgrade your Wi-Fi speed? It's worse than some hostels costing around 30-40 yuan. 9. The light wire above the bed was poorly repaired and protruded unsightly! It just dangled there; it should be tucked away better! ☘️Final thoughts: I sincerely hope Backpacker Ten Years continues to improve. Management should thoroughly inspect the hostel's services and facilities for the owner. Otherwise, some minor issues might go unnoticed for a long time if guests don't point them out! After all, you are a nationally renowned hostel, known as the 'ceiling' of the hostel industry! You should live up to the affection people have for you and your 'hostel ceiling' reputation! I look forward to improvements, and I hope to visit again!

Fine overall (after switching rooms). Booked the 4-person room only to get noisy snorers, one at a time. A little too intimate for my taste as I was constantly being talked to otherwise because we were the only 2 in that room. Next time I’d go for a larger group room or one just for myself. I ended up switching to a single-person room due to the outlandish snoring (the whole bunk was shaking). Location is pretty far from any subway station and people smoke in the elevator and stairways (no surprise there). Staff was always nice and accommodating.

So cozy! Right by Qionghai Lake, at the foot of Lushan Mountain. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Xichang. You can cook your own meals for just 10 yuan per use, and the microwave and washing machine are free to use. There's also a pool table and a drying platform.

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.
