Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Once one of the best hostels in China, nevermind Chéngdū, this place has lost some of its
finesse in recent years. It's still a nice space, though, sprawled around two garden court-
yards, good for kids and adults to laze about. Rooms are clean and simple, and facilities
are what you'd expect from a top-class hostel.
There's a solid bar and cafe, bike rental (from ¥10), a DVD library, and ready travel ad-
vice.

Chic boutique meets trendy hostel in this converted printing factory, with its pretty cafe
and bar, exposed brick, and arty vibe. The front desk at this hostel for grown-ups offers
solid travel advice plus a decent cocktail selection. Dorms are small but the deluxe private
rooms are spacious. The main downfall: wi-fi is only in the common spaces.

Prepare for trips out west by plugging yourself in to Chéngdū's small Tibetan district,
which surrounds this cute and friendly hostel. Holly's has clean, basic rooms plus wi-fi,
bike rentals (¥20) and a nice rooftop cafe (Western and Chinese mains ¥10 to ¥50). They
can also help with permits to Lhasa. Discounted doubles go for as low as ¥120.
