We just finished our two day train ride to Chengdu. We got the "soft sleeper". This means we got a room with 4 beds (2 on each side). Despite the name, the beds weren't really that soft but the room was secure and could be locked. Half way through the trip, our two roommates got off the train and we had the place to ourselves. The bathrooms leave much to be desired. Bring your own toilet paper and lots of hand sanitizer. The smell also kept leaking from the bathroom into the sleeping areas (we were in the middle of the train and it reached us). I was sick for most of the time and couldn't eat. Brian fared at bit better but got worse when we got to the hostel.
The Mix Hostel seems to be a nice place so far. They offer free pickup from the station. The private rooms without a bathroom cost a little more than $4. They offer full tour packets to Tibet at reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean. The food they serve is cheap and tasty. The only complaint so far is that they have a lack of toilet paper in the bathrooms.
