I loved this hostel, the staff were very friendly and the hostel restaurant had great food although the free breakfast was a little unusual. Within walking distance you could find plenty of shops and markets, including a large shopping centre. The subway station was also quite close. Our room was amazing and a hot shower and clean bed at the... More

Pro: - Good place to stay also for families - great variaty of rooms available - clean Great service and advice for travellers Cons: - Breakfast for free but seems to be only half of a choice since no tea (and coffee) are included and chinese tea is expensive (12yuan). - sleep quality only average since every neighbours toss will...

I really liked staying here. We came into town with dirty clothes and spent a nice relaxing afternoon using the washer and dryer while we played pool in the lounge with other travelers. Our room was like a three start hotel. Electric water kettle,private bath, two comfortable chairs. The bed was soft (for China) and it was very clean. The... More

When we first saw the building we were slightly worried as it looked rather run down but as soon as we walked into the lobby we realised our worry was for nothing. On the whole our stay was excellent: the staff were helpful, the rooms were spacious, the bathroom was well equipped and clean, towels were changed everyday, toiletries were... More

This place is also known as Shanghai City Central Youth Hostel, but don't let the name put you off! I needed a place where a family of 4 could comfortably stay in one room without being ripped off by a western chain. Found it! Great people at the desk 24/7. The restaurant menu was a good size and even the... More

I have travelled all over china now and this is the worst place, hands down. First the rooms are dirty and the bathroom more so. The public toilets that i have to walk passed each day smell like a sewer. It's just not the kind of place i wanted to spend 9 days at in shanghai. It's expensive compared to... More

Firstly this is a great hostel for so many reasons: 1. Clean rooms in a hotel environment 2. Great lounge area to meet people. 3. Far-ish from downtown but right on subway, and taxis so cheap so that shouldn't be a deterrent. However, in the last 6 months prices have increased and staff have become surlier. Which is a shame,...

Rooms are good and clean, good sanitation. I was there with a group of 10 people, all aged between 45 and 55. They judged it one of the best budget hotels they had in China. There is a good common area, with bar, restaurant and snooker table. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It is not exactly in the centre... More

We were in Shanghai for about a week and stayed here for the duration. The hostel was nice and very clean. They had a nice restaurant/bar are with cheap beer and average food. The staff was good, very helpful when we needed them. They do nickel and dime you for things like scanning documents and printing. The downside to this... More
