Chengdu Friends Youth Hostel

Mark, the owner, speaks fluent English and is very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, walking distance to the subway, and the area is full of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and convenience shops. If you are around don't miss the chance to visit TAG (To Another Galaxy), a true underground techno club with world-class DJs, which is also at walking distance.

Good value for money. Staff is friendly. Walking distance to 2 metro stops.

The guy working in the hostel is friendly and helpful. The hostel is quite difficult to find, I needed to ask some locals in order to find it. I would probably try to find somewhere else to stay if you are traveling in Chengdu

My advice? Do not stay here. There are two bathrooms and they permanently smell like awful stinky urine. I had to go buy bleach and clean myself to be able to use it, three hours later the smell was the same. Beds are fooor hard, the bed sheets and towels are super clean. The owner is the kindest guy. But this is like a frat house. It’s mainly Chinese men full time living here, they all smoke in the kitchen. There’s a cat that meows like crazy at 5 am. There’s a washing machine that you can use. It’s an old flat building, extremely hard to find. Also they moved so the adress now is same building block but building one floor 5. Exit elevator and it’s the door in your right. Again, owner is the kindest and most helpful person. But if you can afford something better just do.
