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!

The staff is friendly and always willing to help, but as far as I coul see, my room was never cleaned up during my stay.

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,

This hostel's location is superb for access to the Metro. The common room is kept very clean and has a great atmosphere, while the bedrooms are well equipped with curtains at each bed and an en-suite toilet/shower. We went on their panda trip, and it was great!

The hostel has a great character and vibe! Every night there were lots of people in the common area and it was easy to meet people and hangout as a solo traveller as well as order drinks and food from the bar. The facilities were fine, but like the other reviewers mentioned could use some updating. Overall, it's a great experience and makes being in Chengedu much easier as an english speaker. The staff was very helpful organizing a panda excursion and me holding a panda as well.

Best Hostel I have ever stayed at! Better than many hotels in China I have stayed at. It has a 18-29 scene going the staff is extremely helpful. I will return no doubt! Kaye is super awesome!! (Hoping you read this Kaye!) Great food menu, lounge, and bar. They have a great social area inside and outside. The only this is you don't get WIFI in your room, just downstairs but the social area is so great its not a problem.

Without WiFi, it's easier to gather people together^^ But we are trying to install one later this year to cover the whole building hope it would not ruin this atmosphere. Best regards,

I absolutely loved my time at Lazybones. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I was only there for 2 nights to see the pandas before heading on to Beijing. I will definitely book here again when I'm back in Chengdu to see the rest of what the city has to offer. The staff was so helpful and friendly, the atmosphere was fabulous, and the bathrooms wonderfully clean. At night, even on a Monday, the place was totally social, people meeting, drinking, playing pool. It was fantastic.

feel comfortable staying overnight at the hotel. Because the room is neat and clean, room lighting is not bad, the bathrooms were clean. And the most suitable location of the hotel is close to the metro, so it can go everywhere with a cost-effective and easy for travelling.

Somewhere to go where there is no smoking would be a great advantage for us non-smokers. We were really impressed with how helpful the staff were helping us find what we needed and helping with directions The noise from the alleyway at the back went on very late at night and was a bit annoying Fire exits should be kept clear at all times Great food!

The hostel is in a really convenient location. Most of the staff are really friendly, one staff in particular was not too nice when answering questions. I stayed in a room (not dorm) it was a bit dirty compared to some of the other hostels i've stayed in. The towels did not look clean, but I brought my own and didn't have to use it. The rooms are spacious but not clean, my friend found ALOT of bugs by her luggage and my duvet cover had holes.

this hostel was ok, rooms good, staff helpful, location right by the metro. the big thing about hostels in china i have found is that many people were just in the common area on wifi with little conversation going on :(

I think the only method to bring us back to the good old days is to stop providing wifi with only desktop available...Can we? ^^ Thanks for staying with us, give a curse to modern technology.;\ Best regards,

Really nice hostel, with very friendly and helpful staff. Very close to the subway and really nice and cheep food. Lots of trips available from hostel. Would be nice to have a bigger selection of beer, but great selection of cocktails. Woud definitely visit here again.

Sorry to say that the main living area with the pool table is very pungent with very strong cat urine smell. I am a cat lover but would advise that cats should not be allowed in the living area as I came across cats’ hairs and ticks which can be very disgusting and allergic. For your information this is the 3rd visit to your hostels and other than the complaints we are pleased with ever thing from the hospitality shown, honesty and the warm surrounding.
