Very good location and facility

Nice location. The only confusion I had was that I didn't know the Chinese Character name and I couldn't search it in the chinese map apps (which you'll need because Google map and apple map that links from Hotels.com doesn't provide route info). But the hostel was quick to respond from the message facility in the app. It was very cozy, and nice stay.

It is a great Hostel if you want to come visit Shanghai. The location is central and connects to many places. The staff is kind and the accommodation great, especially for the price. If you pay with a foreign card it is recommended that you save the details of the transaction as it sometimes gets lost and you have to prove that you paid already

The hostel is pretty good! The location is amazing greet close to the Nanjing Road, and easy access to the subway. Only detail is the check-in starts at 2:00 pm and not at noon. But it wasn’t a problem since we could leave our luggage in the lobby. The room conditions are pretty good too.

Minimal space for moving around in the room but high quality just the same. Clean & very comfortable. Some staff highly fluent in English to help with questions. Generous drink tickets available to redeem on site. Food wasn't great but it's very close to walkable shopping/dining and public transportation.

The location is the best. Just outside the Walking street and near the metro station. Very convenient. Clean and well maintained. They will give you pillow cases, blankets and slippers. I was hoping for a towel too but that is fine, i just need to but a disposable one. I am not really into hostels bacause I can’t move freely inside the rooms as it may disturb your other roommates BUT that is expected on hostels and I don’t take that against my score. Overall recommended if you are on a budget and open to sharing rooms.

A centrally located low budget hostel. Very close to shopping centers. Close to subway. The facilities are new and well maintained. However, even though its location is great, for how much room you get, it is still a bit pricy. The single occupant rooms here are small. If I can get a spot here at a bargain, I would do it again.
