I spent a month travelling in China, and used Chengdu as my base for two weeks, staying at Sim's and the Loft. The Loft beats Sim's comfortably when it comes to location and the quality of the rooms - for 160yuan, the doubles are stunning, with cool wall art, bare brick walls and funky sofas that make them look like... more

My stay at the Loft Hostel was memorable for many reasons. Firstly, because the staff and other guests were so sweet and helpful. When I misplaced my own passport (later discovering it was in a backpocket of my suitcase I had forgotten existed), the entire hostel helped me search for it, even coming with me to the police and calling... more

They have laundry facilities, billiard, 3 internet PCs for free and a small restaurant (and an even better one close... more
