ZhengFu Cao Tang Decent Hostel

Chengdu


Despite being steps away from Luomashi metro stop and fronting busy Renmin Lu, this guesthouse and its rustic stylings and quiet common area feel far removed from the city bustle just outside. Dorms and rooms all have private bathroom and, for a cheap Chinese hotel, the mattresses are unusually soft. Not much English is spoken.
