Chengdu Flipflop Lounge Hostel

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is great, close by Chunxi road, subway stations, restaurants, and a market right below. The room was clean and had nice Japanese-style furniture. We particularly liked the roof terrace and that we could wash our clothes there. Staff was friendly and spoke English fluently - Sadly we missed the dumpling making event from the hostel! I would stay here again.

The location is excellent, and filled with foreign tourists which is great. The Chinese word for foreign tourists are aliens. So I don't feel alienated as staff speak English. They're friendly and helpful. It's a posh hostel with nice classic interior design on the walls - wood. I stayed for one night after coming back from Jiuzhaigou trip and leaving the next morning at 6am for another group tour to Ganzi. When I returned, I still came back here to keep my luggage for a few hours before leaving to the airport. I'll return to this hostel if I ever come back to Chengdu due to the great location, fruit seller right in front ensuring I've fresh fruits. Lovely to see residents exercising (table tennis, aerobic exercise, monkey bars) on the way to the hostel.

I visited ChengDu with a friend and chose to stay in this hostel and it was brilliant. The staff all spoke english and were very helpful whenever we asked questions about amenities, travel routes or recommendations near by. They even invited us to play mahjong with them and taught us the rules. There a several tours and events that the hostel organised and are very easy to join to see the main tourist attractions. The building is well decorated and has a nice chill vibe that makes it very easy to meet and talk to other travellers and everyone we met was incredibly friendly. They have a rooftop bar that sells coffee during the day and cocktails at night, they were a little expensive for us travelling on more of a budget but there are lots of clubs and bars in the local area. There are also lots of restaurants near by the hostel as well as a food market right outside the door where we were able to buy fresh fruit, the metro station is also only a 10 minute walk away. We stayed in an four person all female room which was very clean and had individual cubbies inside the bunk bed to keep our valuables safe although you should bring your own padlock for the lockers. The clothes washing facilities are easy to use and very cheap and you can buy laundry detergent from reception. Free shampoo, conditioner, body wash and dental kits are available at reception as well. I will definitely be returning to this hostel if i visit ChengDu again!

Had a fantastic time at this hostel. We stayed in the two single bed room with bath and it was very comfortable and clean. The main lounge had a pool table and is a nice environment to chill. Chunxi road is only a 10 min walk and most attractions are about 15 mins away by car so the area is still pretty central. Only minor issue was that the ventilation in the bathroom could have been better

Great Location, good homebase for exploring Chengdu, Staff is very nice and communicates well in english, both check-in and check-out were easy. Room was good, had everything that was necessary, AC worked well and was nearly silent. (For those worrying about sleep). Slippers were provided for both the room itself and the shower, which was nice. The hostel offers tours & info, as well as organizing activities with guests, though I did not participate. Bed was comfy, pillows were nice. Re: noise: the walls and doors are rather thin, for me personally this was a non-issue as I go to sleep late, but others may profit from the provided earplugs. What was a bit disappointing was the cleanliness; when I initially entered the room, it smelled of smoke (despite being declared a non-smoking room and me explicitly requesting that), but this might be a HVAC issue; turning on the bathroom vent or the AC tended to make the smell reappear at times. The shower was also not very clean, with hair visibly being left in the drain, and evidence of mold on the walls. Given the price & that I was provided bathroom slippers, that didn‘t bother me too much.

Location is great - right in the centre of Chunxi Road/Taikoo Li area, short walk from the metro station. Room itself was quite nice. Beds were on the hard side, but standard for China. Windows were sound-proofed well, but unfortunately the doors were not - can hear everything from the corridor quite clearly. Luckily didn’t this disturb our sleep too much, but really depends on the other guests.Bathroom was clean but feels quite grimy due to the dirty grouting and old tiles.Vibe of the place is ok, aimed at the backpacker crowd, and staff speak good English. One thing to avoid at all costs is the laundry room. Not only is it not free, it’s also very unhygienic. Washed clothes in machine 1 and found a live maggot on a sock afterwards. Really disgusting. The staff did not seem particularly concerned when I told them, they just paid (remotely, didn’t even come to inspect the machine) for a second wash in the other machine. They didn’t offer any other help or suggestions, as the washing machine setup is outsourced to a separate company. Thank god the dryer had a sterilisation option (which I paid extra for myself) or I think I would have thrown away all my clothes at that point.I have washed my clothes in hostel/hotel laundry rooms across China and never encountered something like this 🤢.Overall would not recommend staying here.

A very nice hostel in the city center, extremely well placed. The rooms are clean and cozy. The common areas are nice to hang out in. There is a bar with good beers. The staff speak very fluent English and can guide you through your stay in Chengdu. They also organize sightseeing tours. Definitely recommend!

Great place to stay for foreigners that want a money/value stay. The place offers to arrange tours in the entire Chengdu area, and they speak great English so no problem there. Inside is a great common area with tables for those who want to work, or a pool table for those looking to interact and socalize, plus a bar. Rooms are great, lockers require you bring your own lock pay attention to that. Honestly, for people looking for a fun hostel that can help with touring Chengdu, this is the place to go.
