If this is the best (according to LP) then Chengdu has some catching up to do with other big cities in China. Good points: Common areas are very nice and there are plenty of them Under-bed luggage storage to make the most of space in small room Helpful staff (but not all are friendly) Food is not bad - the...

We stayed at Sim's Cozy Garden Hostel after reading some really great things and we must say everything we read is true. Sim's is a top budget stay. It has a great cheap bar and restaurant and the staff are amazingly helpful. They helped us sort out train tickets, day trips and fixing our mobile there is nothing any of... More

Trust us on this one: if you are in chengdu - stay at sim's cozy! Great rooms, amazing staff, nice bar... The hostel is not in the center of the city but all the buses are 2-5 min walk from the hostel. You will not regret it. Enjoy!!!

Location is easy to find from train station and although on a busy road the atmosphere they've created with the garden is perfect for a lazy morning, afternoon or evening. Staff were amazingly helpful with... More

We stayed in June 2012 for 3 nights. We traveled throughout China, backpacking, for several weeks and my husband and I both enjoyed this hostel the most out of all the hostels we stayed at over the course of our trip. I definitely understand why the word "Cozy" is in the name of this place. Although it's situated in the... More
