The location of this hostel was great- down a little alleyway and in a safe and busy area. The rooms were big and very clean, and the lobby had a nice vibe to it. But despite the positives, the staff made our experience staying here pretty negative. Not just unfriendly, but mock your questions, don't even attempt to help with... More

this hostel is under renovations meaning: no restaurant/bar, no play area (pool, lobby, etc.), not public bathrooms, etc.etc. The staff was not very friendly, they would not let me use a bathroom when i asked, they speak very little english and they did not much to help when asked about anything. It's a hostel after all, so no big expectatons... More

(Based on my May 2011 trip, so no knowledge on renovations.) I enjoyed my two stays (one for Shanghai, one for transit back to the US) in May. The only late-night or morning noise that I experienced was some kids playing table tennis around 11 pm or so. I stayed in a first-floor dorm room in the back (by the... More

Wrong description, most of services unavailable because renovations, renovations are supposed to start at 10am when you book in: they start at 8am, they cancel booking to avoid to pay site fee, so you pay cancellation fee, room never cleaned, lot of broken things in room. But the worst is that renovation just make impossible to sleep after 8, or... More

I was actually surprised that the bed and the bathroom was clean.Garbage are taken out daily and they even provide you with daily toilet paper. Hot water is also good. The only problem is the nearby residences who can be quite noisy at night. The staff are very good in English and very helpful with directions. There are also nearby... More

The staff are helpful and the location is very central. Especially the train booking office which is in the area. The streets are shaded and pleasant to walk through, unlike some other areas of Shanghai. There are lots of local restaurants on the same street. I had some great steamed dumplings in one. There is a filtered water machine in... More

We spent 5 nights there in september 2011. Nice clean rooms in an old factory. It's quite a big place but well maintained. It's well situated in the town. A 10 minutes walk gets you to the subway on one of the main lines. The main strenght on this hostels is the staff. They have a really good english and... More

We stayed here for one night before we moved on. Although the hostel appears to be a small inn from the front, it's actually enormous inside with rooms across three large levels. After staying in several of the same faceless HIs/YHAs throughout China (often they're the best option, and sometimes the only option), we were looking forward to something with... More

We stayed in a family room with a double bed and a bunk. It was in a great location with subway, restaurants, supermarkets close by. Our children are 4 and 6 and they loved to have a run around the roof top bar. The price for the room was a bargain, we can't stay anywhere that cheaply here in Australia.... More
