Despite some setbacks, Captain Hostel is a great way to stay on Shanghai's riverfront Bund without paying hundreds of USD for a luxury hotel. Just as a heads up, we did have some problems. I booked ahead online for the Yan'an Rd. branch, to make sure our rooms were secure. However, on the day our group of 10 arrived at... More

Well, overall, it's quite a pleasant stay in captain youth hostel.

This hostel is in a fantastic location-right near the bund and Nanjing road, there is a metro there which makes everywhere else easily accessible. We had a private room which was great. This hostel is really let down by the staff who are reluctant to help with anything and some in particular were extremely rude to ourselves and other guests.... More

This review is just for Captain's rooftop bar. The Good: 1. Unbeatable view of The Bund from a fantastic rooftop bar. The Pudong skyline is majestic and rises over the Huang Pu River like something out of a 3-D movie 2. Some people complain about the prices of the drinks here, but, to be honest, the drinks are market price... More

If you don't mind very smelly and dirty toilet, unfriendly frontdesk staff, expensive beer at rooftop cafe (up to 10x) and inconvenient to use bathroom, rock hard matteress, you may stay here. The only thing worth mentioning about this place is location. More

Captains is decent establishment with a very nice atmosphere when you walk in, and a very comfortable bar area of your evening drink. The View of the Bund it spectacular and its situated very close to Nanjing Lu (main street), The Bund and the main metro link. When you walk in its so tidy and pleasant that you have high... More

Firstly, I would recommend this place. It has a great location, right on the bund and the bar at the top (which is quite pricey) has spectacular views of the Pudong skyline. I was travelling alone and the bar was a great place to meet people my age (18). But, despite this, the staff were not helpful. They did not... More

Captain Hostel (Fuzhou Road) - Shanghai, this is where I will staying for my 5 day backpack in Shanghai. It consists of both hotel(suites) and hostel(dorms) accommodation. The location is superb - 5 minutes walk to The Bund 外滩 and 15 minutes to Nanjing Road East 南京东路－步行街. I was put up in a 8 person dorm with 2 koreans, 1... More

This hostel is in a great spot, and the foyer and bar are tops... but, the rooms are some of the worst I've seen - and I've stayed in a lot of hostels. The first room we looked at was vast... and smelled like vomit. Our next one smelled better, but was dirty. The sheets, mattress and carpet were all... More
