Summer in Litang · Starry Sky Courtyard

I had a really good time and the people who work there are wonderful. They helped me with every problem. Such as finding a car to catch the bus to Chengdu in the morning and they can help organise excursions to the best places. The facility is very nice and new and neat and has a beautiful museum inside where you can see how they make textiles in the traditional way with looms. Was a wonderful experience.

Pretty straight forward stay, lots of young people keep the ‘hostel vibe’ alive. Be aware that construction across the street starts early in the morning. Bit if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay, here you have it!

The hostel is located with great access to the old town and monastery. The room was neat with not the thickest mattress but the included heating pad kept me warm at night.

Great hostel with kind and helpful staff. They organised an amazing day tour to Genyen mountain, where we hiked and ate with two monks from the local monestary. Some of these most beautiful scenery in the world.

Perfect location right by the monastery and historic town.

Bad points: - When we checked in we found the garbage bag from the previous users inside our room - The toilet smells bad, and you can easily smell it even from the bed. - Although the staff is willing to help regardless of the language barrier, we were quite disappointed as we asked the staff to order a taxi to the bus station the day before we left, and the staff there told us it was ordered, and that they would call the next morning again to remind the taxi service of our trip. When we woke up and when to pick up the taxi there was no taxi nor receptionist. We had to ask another member of the staff which after some calls (and 20 min of waiting) told us there was no taxi and that we had to walk or get a taxi on the roadside. Lucky for us we had still some time until the bus, and we managed to find a taxi after walking for a little bit, but if we had been tight on time we would have missed our bus. Good points: - Nice location, close to monastery and old town.
