Awesome relationship between quality and price. Located near 3 important subway lines at an incomparable price. Most of the staff speak English quite well. I would only provide better orientation or organize group trips as much hostels do... Oh, and improve just a little bit the cleanliness of the rooms. Everything else is perfect!

This place is a bit away from river Huangpu, but still close enough to all major attractions thanks to the direct metro line (also direct to both airports!). Metro station is however at least 10 minutes away, in case this matters for you. Follow the precise instructions provided by the hotel and you won't miss it! The neighborhood is very... More

Not your typical hostel, I very much doubt anyone in Shanghai beats Rock and Wood at what they do. Everything is super clean, the staff are very pleasant, and the place seems to have been very well planned to be what it is. Multiple plug points on every wall and next to every table, loads of space and a quiet... More

This hostel is great, the rooms are hotel standard, the bar area is clean and open and very comfortable. The drinks and food are cheap and its not far walk to a decent bar/restaurant area and 2 subways. Toilet/bathroom, great. That said, it would have been perfect if not for a few things. Considering on the description it specifically says... More

A couple of friends and I were traveling to Shanghai during the Chinese national holiday. Originally, we only booked this hostel for a day because it had limited availability online, but the owner was so nice and understanding that he managed to extend our stay. The hotel lobby was magnificent. The lobby was equipped with a Koi pond, indoor and... More

Our room had a queen size bed, and could not accommodate a cot, so our teenage son slept in a 4 bed dorm. Our room had a great bathroom, and was quiet at night. Our son's room was incredibly small and stuffy. The common area is large and bright, and the staff helpful. A couple eating suggestions: Turn left out... More

If you order some food, it might take a while, but its worth waiting for it! I really liked the spaghetti! Rooms and showers are clean and the blankets are big and keep... More

In a bit of creepy, dank alley, but this place is really awesome. It's beautiful, chic and clean. The rooms are clean and comfy. The common area is huge, modern, and fun! Definitely a great stay. Prices are very reasonable. Very reasonable.
