Hostels in Chengdu

So clean. There are curtains around the dorm beds so you have privacy. The bathroom had toiletries for the guests. There were so many nice, well thought out details. I was very impressed.

Very private beds as always in Desti, nice common area. And they had super sweet dog.

I have been in Chengdu for many days and I love the culture here so much. I watched the performance of Shu embroidery inheritors and even embroidered panda bookmarks by myself. It's so meaningful to bring Chengdu culture home! The hotel is very close to various attractions, making it perfect for checking in Chengdu. Nicole is very friendly, thank you very much for giving me a lot of help and advice!

Got a free upgrade to a double room, which was really nice! The hostel itself is clean and cozy, and the staff is friendly. We had a late night check-in with no issues. They provide free dental kit, shampoo and shower gel

The hostel's location is situated a stone's throw away from Chunxi station, which is right smack in the city center. Walkable to Taikoo li with nice shopping malls and flagship stores all within reach. Hospitality from the staff was nothing short of impeccable. Shoutout to Kiki, Cheyenne, and Neil, for being the heart and soul of this establishment. They are always wearing a smile and ready to answer any of our questions, be it directions or just a friendly chat. The lounge and rooftop bar are full of vibes, and can make you not want to leave the hostel at all! Highly recommend this place if you prioritize the experience of travelling and meeting new people over luxury :)

Delicious breakfast Daily room cleaning Washing machine

Good value for money. Good modern room (we had a private room and bathroom). Great location, although hard to find. Helpful staff. A lot of activities within the hostel.

Wei on the front desk reception is one of the most helpful and efficient people I have dealt with on this whole trip. His approach to the guests is very positive and helpful and he is an exceptional asset to the Nova Hostel team. I first entered the Nova hostel at the beginning of Golden Week when it was exceptionally busy and chaotic! After a few days the whole placed settled down a bit and I personally met several Chinese guests from different parts of China who were All very interested, polite and helpful to several of the foreign guests staying there. I stayed in a 6 man dorm, a 4 man dorm and a single/double room on my last night before getting an early morning Didi taxi direct to Tianfu Airport. All the rooms where a very good price. The showers and washing areas are great. The location is superb with several local family food kiosks and a well priced 24hr supermarket just across the road. I left my large suitcase at Nova hostel when I did a five day visit to Songpan Ancient city and there also Free lockers to use. For the fitness enthusiasts who might be reading this review. Then there are some hand weight dumbbells to use and plenty of space to exercise. And also a large table tennis area with bats,ball All to use for free. I used Chengdu as a base whilst I went to Chongching, Zhangjiajie and Songpan and stayed in a few different hostels. I will be booking in at the Nova Hostel with Wei again on my next visit. Overall, I have found China and the Chinese people Outstandingly helpful, kind and patient and I am looking forward to my return very soon. Thank you Wei for your patience and help! Shaun. UK traveller for 40 plus years!

The youth hostel is affordable yet offers a quality far beyond expectations. The common areas are cozy and perfect for socializing. I've met so many interesting fellow travelers here.

Everything was great: comfortable, clean and quiet room, very helpful staff, close to a subway station.
