Those cats made noise are not "Lazy" and "Bones", somehow our hostel have become the paradise for cats cause our guests gave too much love to them, spring has come, it's also some of cats' mating period, that's why :\ lol, We hope next time you come back to hostel they have done their relationship ^^ Best regards,

The staff was very helpful in arranging different day trips and also helping us get to and from the airport. The food and lounge area was great and very relaxing. Absolutely no complaints!

The place is awesome! All clean and well equipped. Most importantly, the staff working there is simply first class! I will surely miss them! I give Lazybones my highest recommendation and will definitely make if my first choice should I return to Chengdu.

I had a lovely stay here but what really made it were the staff. They were so warm and welcoming it always felt like you were coming home. The location was good with a metro station right opposite the hotel and within walking distance to other places of interest. Good transport links to get further afield. There was only WIFI in the bar and restaurant but I would've prefered it throughout. I also choose to join a Sichuan opera ran through the hotel and it was worth the money with more than opera

Very nice location and friendly atmosphere in the hall room, the staffs are nice and helpful with the travelling tips. The room is clean and big. Good location with 50m away from the metro station. The thing I like most is the map they provide to the visitor, super nice and useful information provider.

Such a great hostel. Internet was the best of all the hostels I have been in china. Having 2 cats around was nice and the common areas are great for meeting people, as was the dumpling party. The staff were loads of fun (hi Kaye) and made it all the better. The beds were super comfortable and the hostel is well located on a train line.

Good staff, everyone knew what they were talking about and had good English. No internet in room was a down side.

Thanks for your positive review, the reason we don't provide the internet in room is because we don't want travellers lock themself and stay alone as sharing and socialising at hostel's traveler's lounge is so much fun. The WiFi covers the whole lobby and lounge area anyway :) Best regards,

There are no words to describe how awesome this hostel is! Don't think there is a single thing I can complain about!The accomodation and facilities are fantastic, in a good location in the city; close to the metro and only a short walk from some of the sites of Chengdu.It was very clean and had a great atmosphere.The staff here are AMAZING!!The little band of travellers I was with cannot preach enough about how awesome one intern - Edge - was: WE LOVE HIM!!Good value for money and will be back!!

we spent 3 nights there and we enjoyed our stay . The place is clean , and the staff is nice . The place is easy to find because located just in front of the metro station , so easy to get from the train station and airport ! The only 2 negative points we noticed are the music too loud in the commun room at the evening and no wifi in the rooms . It is a good place to stay and good money for value . If we go back to Chengdu , we will probably stay there again ;)

We actually have our own music library which is carefully selected for morning, afternoon and evening, sometimes some of our travel fellows really love to share their music, the genre might not be everybody's taste, we'll try to keep the music not too loud and please to everybody :) Thanks for your feed back:) Best regards,

The hostel was a truly lovely place to stay since all the staff were so welcoming (especially the intern called Edge). The food was delicious and the whole place was always kept clean. From the hostel, we could walk nearly everywhere we wanted to go - it was definitely well worth the money.

The Hostel was one of the best hostels I've stayed in so far (and pretty much the best hostel I've stayed in, in China!). All the staff were lovely too - especially Edge! - and put up with our crazy antics (like adopting a rabbit we brought in off the street) with ease. It was also really easy to organise trips such as the Panda Tour with them, minimal fuss. Absolutely brilliant! (Love to Honey Mustard Pringles!)

Great location right across the Metro station. Wonderful and friendly staff with very good information. Also, very good map provided with interest point and bus routes (other hostels should pay attention and learn!). Rooms are decent enough and the private shower actually has it's own compartment... yeah!! Only downside was the private bathroom had a slight funky smell to it... possibly through the straight drain pipes rather than a p-trap. Overall, highly recommended.

You are professional! Right, when we took over this place we found they didn't use U pipe which can prevent the smell out from the drain, everything had been nicely done already, we can't remove the floors and ceilings to have it all replaced, we replaced most of room's filters, and it did work! :) Thanks for your review and we hope to have you stay with us again in near future!

This place was awesome. The staff was super friendly and helpful, even went partying with one of them. The common area has a pool table which provides an excellent way to meet people.
