I stayed at the Traffic Inn for 2 weeks while participating in a Sichuan cooking course. The accommodations are quite basic, but the staff does a great job of keeping things clean, and the overall atmosphere is quite enjoyable, with lots of friendly folks coming and going. The hostel staff was great--some of them speak good English and are quite... More

Note - I only got to stay here for a very short few hours, so take my review with that understanding. In any event, from what little I could experience, this is a true gem of a hostel in Chengdu! I was planning to take an early bus to Jiuzhaigou the following morning, after a very late arrival - so... More

Failed to pick up at airport, first problem. Staff are rude and disinterested. I needed to find an atm late at night to book a trip the following day and couldn't use the one near by. Asked if I could pay the following morning as i didnt want to wander around by myself late at night and they suggested I... More

Traffic Inn hostel is perhaps the best hostel o have visited in china. And i have been here in two months. The staff is fantastic with help and talk and are there for you all the time. It is not too much. If you are open they will add (more) humor knowledge and friendship to your life. They speak good... More

We stayed in this hostel over a period of several weeks during a visit to Chengdu in March / April 2013. In every respect, from room and reception services to physical quality of accomodation and assistance from staff (whose English is good), this hostel was outstanding. We would recommend it to anyone seeking low budget quality accomodation in Chengdu, and... More

I chose Traffic Inn Youth Hostel (not to be confused with the neighboring Traffic Hotel) for the very reasonable nightly rate (via Agoda.com) plus the extreme convenience to Chengdu's Xinnanmen bus station. This served my Chengdu 'home base' as I took day/overnight trips to nearby Leshan and Emeishan, and the farther away Jiuzhaigou. All three destinations are accessible by bus... More

On the plus side, the hostel is located very well and was, generally, quite clean. We stayed in a double ensuite and the room was cleaned every day; in fact the cleaning ladies were quite keen to get in and clean in the early hours (8 am). One day we did wake up to a cockroach, but it was an... More

i had a great experience at this hostel. i arrived really late night, after 2 am and Markloff at the front desk was super welcoming, helped me to bring everything to my room and get some ramen noodles to warm me up. the hostel is in a very good location, close to public transportation stops. although my room was a...
