Mix Hostel Chengdu Guesthouse in Chengdu This is one of the best hostel I have been! This is by far the best in China. The location is great, the staff is really nice and good, the hostel is very clean, and the atmosphere is really cool and great. What else can I say? I was there in June last year (2006).
Mix Hostel Chengdu Guesthouse in Chengdu This hostel is fairly westernized and the staff really do speak English. I didn't have to reserve a room online with some kind of percentage fee, wondering if I was investing in a good thing. I just e-mailed them and asked them to save a room for me and friends. They responded quickly and were even accommodating to last-minute flight changes. The hostel itself doesn't look like that much on the outside. The entrance is shrouded by bamboo plants. But inside, it's got the worldly style of a backpacker hostel. Staying there for four nights, the biggest assets were the willingness of the staff to help you, the array of foreigners from everywhere whom you could converse with -- that is, if you could find a seat -- and the showers. I've been living in China for four months and I've never had such a good shower. The kitchen and menu isn't the greatest, but it mainly appeals to tourists rather than backpackers. I'd rather eat at a dingy noodle house and burn my throat on Sichuan cooking (and
Holly's Hostel in Chengdu Holly's Hostel was an absolute godsend for me. Not only did someone pick us up from the train station, holding my husband's name at 5 a.m. in the morning, he also helped me get my SLR camera back from the train after I had sleepily left it in the cabin.

Holly's Hostel in Chengdu I spent Feb. 2007 in China. Most of it in ChengDu. I stayed here upon the recommendation of a chinese friend who lives in ChengDu. The staff was the best -- very friendly and very helpful. Great location -- I walked many places from there. And when I had friends to act as my tour guides, buses were easily accessible. Rooms were very clean as well.
Mix Hostel Chengdu Guesthouse in Chengdu Good clean rooms, the cheapest in Chengdu. This place has friendly helpful staff, clean bathrooms and toilets (hot private showers!). Nice communal area with a water feature and traditional Chinese decor. It's a good place to either meet people if you want to, or there are nooks and crannies to just chill out and read. Good Internet connection, cheap bike hire, and pretty much everything you could want from a hostel — keep up the good work! One of the nicest places I've stayed at in China.

HI - Chengdu - Dragon Town Hostel in Chengdu The best hostel in China! Like being in a Chinese Family, reminded me of the 1970s. Friendly staff and well experienced travel agency.
HI - Chengdu - Dragon Town Hostel in Chengdu I liked the hostel. I made two friends from England. They are very lovely. They will travel to Shanghai from Chongqing and go to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, and then back to England in January 2005.
Your Inn in Daocheng I was staying at this hostel in October 2006 after I visited the beautiful place Yading. The owner Mr. Meng is very nice guy. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The price is reasonable. I strongly recommend everyone to go to Daocheng, and stay at this hostel. This is very good hostel!
Mix Hostel Chengdu Guesthouse in Chengdu The best hostel in China by far! This place seems very new so is spotlessly clean and the staff are keen to be friendly and helpful, even by western standards. I really enjoyed the Chengdu area and this hostel made it all the better with great, free amenities. Many people going from or heading to Lhasa if that helps.
