FANTASTIC LOCATION!!!! This hostel sits right on top of a subway / metro line stop whick quickly takes you to other areas in town. Around the corner is a starbucks and an international / western dentist office "Ya Fei Dental". H&M and UniQlo are a short walk away as well if you're wanting to shop and also a movie theater that shows western flicks.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! I liked the tours they offered and the cooking class was a lot of fun. The bar area was a nice hang out and the location was prime. There is literally a subway station stop right across the street which was very convenient and lots of great places within walking distance. Try the place across the street for yummy Sichuan noodles and dumplings!

Lazybones is a great hostel! Greatly located, they provide a lot of free nice activities. We joined Bicycle tour and dumplings class and we enjoyed badly! Staff is nice and helpful, and they provide antimosquito solution (highly required in Chengdu! :D). Definitely worth it!

The wifi was the strongest wifi I've ever used in China, it was really fast. The room was somewhat humid and there was a single piece of mushroom growing on the wall.

I had a very nice stay, met a lot of people from all over the world. I am normaly not the one to give 5 points to everything, but I enjoyed my stay so much I just cannot help it. Lazybones location is perfect: opposit of a metro station, 10 Minutes walk from Wenshu Monastery, 15 Minutes to Kuanxiangzi to have fun with German or Chinese beer. But it is also very nice to drink your bear in the hostel. Great fun with making-of-jiaozi-party on friday evening. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

This hostel was really nice. The staff were really lovely and helpful. The location is ideal as it's not far from the centre but also across the road from the metro. The only thing that we didn't like was that there was no wi-fi in the rooms.

We are thinking about to set up a wifi system later this year after renovation, thanks for your suggestion.

A lovely hostel located conveniently right next to a metro stop in the centre of the city. Good atmosphere and big cafe/bar /dining area where everybody can meet. The personnel is always available and puts in the effort to make the travelers feel welcomed and happy - they get an extra thumbs up!

Plus: Staff was very nice. In front of Metro station and ATM. Well localisez. Minus: I feel that other Hostel that I have stay in china have much better atmosphere than this one. There was a very strong odor of sewage in the main common/dinning area. Not pleasant. This place may have been great before but I think that it is not maintained properly. Getting old and it shows.

Lazybones will get a thorough renovation by the end of this year when not many people are staying here, you are right, some parts of hostel do need a renovation, that's in our schedule. Thanks for your review:) Have a nice day,

You cannot give a room to People that has a stinky bathroom a. That is a no go. If there was any other free rooms over the time we spend in Chengdu an was there more time to decide were to live and of course if we knew, we probably would have Chosen another Hostel. Thank´s

We are so sorry for your bad experience of staying at our hostel, we'll go for an investigation to find out the problem...We of course do not give the "stinky" room to our travellers, that's why our cleaning ladies are working so hard everyday to ensure a nice environment. Best regards,
