Chengdu Flipflop Lounge Hostel

An AWESOME hostel! I had a beautiful private room - wanting my own space with th hustle and bustle of a hostel and staff I knew would help with anything! Great location - right on Chunxi Road with easy access to the train line! Heaps of shops and restaurants within walking distance - anything you need you can find by foot. Lots of travellers around the hostel, coming in and out and hanging out in the common areas. A beautiful rooftop that would be gorgeous in summer (a bit cold to hang out up there in winter!). The washing machines are upstairs on the rooftop, you can scan with Alipay or some other app and pay to use it (my phone didn’t work so reception did it for me and I just paid them with Alipay - super easy - helpful staff!), reception has laundry detergent if you need too, and you can hang clothes to dry on the rooftop too (I took my few items to hag on the few hangers provided in my private room). ***also I don’t have any complaints about the cleanliness - I am used to hostels around the world and China’s are all so much better than so may I’ve been to - but if you’re comparing this to a hotel, it’s not the same - the bathroom shower has some stains etc but totally usable!

Great location with nice friendly staff. Was asked to join a hot pot night the moment I entered. Had a private room which was nice and sound proofed. Washrooms are small but clean. There were not able lot of people in the hostel at the time I was there, not their fault. They did cater my drink to my taste which was very nice of them. Host had a lot of recommendations which were great.

The front desk staff are warm, welcoming, and speak excellent English, which immediately makes you feel at ease. They’re always ready to help with any questions and organize daily activities — I even joined their free dumpling‑making workshop, which was a great experience.The hostel itself is quite old, and it shows in the facilities. Each room has only one shower for around ten people, which can be inconvenient. The beds are very firm, with thin mattresses, so comfort is limited. The crowd is mostly Western tourists, which is unusual to see in China.On the positive side, the location is excellent — most major sights and city highlights are within walking distance.

My experience in this hostel was amazing. Since the staff organizes activities with the others guests, making friends is super easy. The hostel is really cozy my room also had a private bathroom! The position is also super central, thus making it really easy to go around and visit the city. Super reccomended :)

Absolutely love this hostel. Probably the best place on my trip. It feels like a really good mix from western style hostels but in china. Its super easy to socialise, which is what a lot of hostels fail with. The staff are so friendly and speak incredible english. Lots of help with tours and activities too. They have a pool table in the lobby room and a bar and music. If you arent into socialising then its okay as there is plenty of space in the lobby to get on with computer stuff or read without being disturbed. My only reservation with this place is that there should be more women rooms compared to mens, my wife had to spend a night in another hostel because there was considerably more male rooms than female which doesnt really make sense, the women are almost an equal amount to guys and they need a place to stay too. I would consider changing one of the male rooms to a women or a mixed dorm.

The hostel is located near the eateries, shops & metro; all that a traveler would ask for. The lobby is not big but adequately equipped & nicely decorated. I like the vibe of the space. Room is neat & clean. Daily room service is available if you opt for it. Storage of luggage for early check in & collection of parcels from online purchase on behalf of guests are both provided for the convenience of guests. Appreciate it

Great location, right in the centre, close to the main road areas. Staff were very welcoming, spoke English, and offered information in regards to group tours and services that were available. Lovely atmosphere among fellow travellers, with the hostel having a small bar. The room was clean, but a little tight/small. A bit noisy, but ear plugs provided. Nevertheless, we had a great stay.

One of my best hostel experience in China. It was not the fanciest but the staff was really friendly and organised events. Thanks to Ella I met a bunch of people, discovered nice places in the city and had an amazing time. Also the lobby and rooftop ar perfect place to gather (pool table, table tennis, couches…).
