    There is no Sonderia hotel at Google maps. You have to settle the Google Maps location))) it is important for foreigners to see you on google maps and be able to find you there. Please, try to do so

    I am so greatful to Sonderia hotel, i felt really home 🏡 1. First, i booked a hostel, but nice lady at the reception - Niwle - helped me to upgrade it to the nice better single room. Room was nice with AC, tea pot (tea or water are not provided), clean, silent. Instead of key 🔐 there is an electrical key 🗝️!! I liked it 2. I liked it very much, because it is the only hotel in China, where they speak in English 😃! Oh, it is so important! One week i have been travelling and noone speaks english! And here this lady Niwle and also another person Damon, both know English! Feels so good! 3. Damon helped me to book ticket to Leshan Budda, and Niwle helped me to organize my Panda trip, she also helped me to call a taxi. There was another helpful guy in the morning, unfortunately i do not know his name. What i want to say: the hotel is amazing!!!! I am very grateful to all of you guys, thank you 😊 may Buddha bless all of you! + 1. Hotel has a good location near the Wenshu monastery, i walked there at 6am, was very nice. 2. Near the hotel you can find Walmart!!! Amazing! Big market where you can buy whatever you need, thanks God! 💞 3. AC worked very cool 4. Internet is absolutely perfect, which is very very important 5. Downstairs the hotel they have amazing atmospheric bar, so cool, made of wood, very pleasant 6. Near the hotel there is a lady selling street noodles only for 12 cny, and it is very tasty 7. Clean linen, comfortable room, well working shower

    It's a good hostel, nice hangout area and friendly, helpful staff. I had a single room which was comfy and clean.

    The light in my corner of the bedroom could have been working.

    I love that despite it being Golden week here in China, I was able to make a last minute booking. The place is wonderful. The bar downstairs has great ambience and affordable drinks. The staff is very helpful and since even speak English.

    Very hospitable staff. Nicole on reception was very hospitable. One day I asked her places to visit in Chengdu in the evening and she kindly sent me all information by weixin. The other day I needed foot massage after visiting Buddha in Leshan and she kindly found one for me and showed the route. I also liked the cocktail in the evening and the singer, he was singing and playing really well. I like this hostel, it's 10/10, definitely

    - Toilet in the room dorn is not a great idea, is a glass box, there is no intimacy, - Not so easy to get to the metro, but if you are able to tap on the shared bicycle you can easily go to the city center for Les than 2 yuan

    Dumpling night was really nice. People are really nice
