Very good place to stay. Location and neibourghood is perfect. Clean and nice. Roof top bar super convenient and very pleasant. I stayed there two weeks in a 4 bed rooms and it was very comfortable and quiet at night. Great staff, I especially thank Celine a girl at the reception for all the good tips she gave me to go around Shanghai. (All the staff where really nice and professional by the way). Too bad I couldn't take part to the activities proposed, no activities organized on week end (I was working during the week).
Great place to stay. The location is amazing and I can imagine that the rooftop is really nice in the summer. What enjoyed the most about this place is the staff though. For example Jacky does an excellent job of explaining where to go in the city. Through his tea making he made us feel very welcome at the hostel and he had a great recommendation for Thai food just a few blocks from the hostel. So this is the place to be :)
One of my favourite places to stay. Staff are super happy, friendly and helpful! I stayed in the twin share room with GAdventures and then booked a 4 bed dorm after the tour finished. The staff upgraded me to a twin room as the person in the dorm took too long to check out, which was awesome for me as I ended up having the room to myself! Both rooms were super clean and spacious. The hostel is very clean and there is lots of info in the lobby about things to do, see, eat, etc. The rooftop bar was great both for breakfast and drinks. The location is perfect! Close to heaps of places to eat (there's a restaurant in the same building which was real nice), metro station, atm and supermarket. And a short walk to the major shopping area and to The Bund area. Overall, I would highly recommend! If I'm in Shanghai again, it's where I'll be staying. Cheers!
Great hostel in a nice area of Shanghai. It's really close to the metro and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The staff are really friendly, rooms are a good size and the shared facilities are kept clean. The rooftop bar is also a great place to meet people and sit on those rainy Shanghai days. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in Shanghai.
It's a very nice place. The rooms are huge with ample storage. The rooms are clean and while there they were installing individual bunk lights. Wi-Fi coverage was very good to excellent. The rooftop bar is excellent for breakfast & R&R. They have ample showers in the shower room and ample toilets & urinals in bathroom. They have a large sink area separated from both. Personal are very helpful and many are bilingual.
