POSHPACKER·Chengdu Local Tea Hostel

Exceptional

✓ Clean beds , nice rooms

Pleasant

✓ Good hotel with 24h registration. Floor 5 of big biulding.

✗ Personal do no talk English. But it's common for China. Misplaced on map...

Very good hotel for self-traveler.

✓ - It has very good location, you come out from subway exit D, then just can see the enterence of this hotel (Make me feel that the subway exit and the hotel's enterence are almost conected). - All of the employees are so kind, and actively help their guests. - We can use the 'We Chat' messenger to contact them, if we have some problem with our room. After they check the message, just come to our room to check the detail of problem or help us to solve the problem. - I arrived at there about 10 p.m., but the employee was still waiting for me at the reception desk. So I didn't need to wait and could check-in immediately. - They provide shampoo, shower gel, teeth brush, toothpaste, towel, bath towel, tolet papers, some tea, water and bathroom slippers.

✗ - There are some moldy and stains, so make me didn't want to step in the shower booth and couldn't make me put my things on the shelves. - Some rooms are in the upstairs, but they didn't have elevator for that rooms. Besides, the stairs are too narrow, so not very easy to bring our stuff up. - If you arrive late, your room window will probably be open. So you need to check up, and need to close them to prevent bitten by mosquitoes. - The shower faucets are three type, but I could not use the upper one and lower one, only could use the middle one. So it made me feel littlebit uncomfortable when I wash my long hair.

Very good

✓ staff

✗ nothing

Very good

✓ Great location really close to the subway. A part of the staff speaks english.

smoky and old but nice staff

✓ good location, a five second walk from the subway station. manager speaks English well and is extremely kind and helpful. she helped me book a tour for a fraction of the price of those sold on Chunxi Road, helped me book an opera experience, helped me order altitude meds online using her account, gave me a free scarf and electric plug when I needed it. the hostel has a secondhand shop which was helpful for buying a puffy jacket for my Tibet tour. she was awesome :)

✗ the hostel claims to have a fitness center, but this isn’t true. the building that the hostel is in has a fitness center as a separate business that you can pay for, but the hostel itself doesn’t. there’s no demarcation between smoking and non-smoking rooms, and cigarette smoke wafted in through the walls at all hours of day. the hallways were smoky and had loogies on the ground. the hostel looks way older than the photos show, and from an American standpoint isn’t clean. they charge a 0.55% charge on foreign cards. the first floor of the building to get to the hostel has a urine smell and smoke smell but that isn’t the hostels fault. some days, room cleaning wasn’t provided. I’d say that all in all, I wish I’d ponied up to pay for something nicer, largely because the smoke felt like living in a casino.

Cute and cozy

✓ Loved the vibe, the chic shared spaces, the cute little room, and the friendly staff. The garden, books, and living area was lovely. More chairs and little tables on the roof garden would be great.

✗ The reception forgot to charge me upon arrival (I assumed I had paid online) and therefore banged on my door after midnight, awakening me (and also frightening me a bit, to be honest).

Budget friendly hotel in a convenient location

✓ The staff were so kind and welcoming! they helped us book tours and arrange our plans for our time in Chengdu.

✗ The window in my room wouldn’t close so it was a bit noisy at night.
