Everything is amazing! You get to do free laundry, the staff is nice, wide places to hang out inside or outside, multiple showers and small shelves in your sleeping area to put stuff - which is not that common in hostels and I'm here for it. (There was even a gym area which I didn't get around to use, but still!)

The hosts were really nice and helpful. The language barrier in China is really tough, but the hosts speak perfect English which was of a big help. The apartment was clean, they clean it for you daily only if you want and need. The metro station is right below the building which is perfect, you don't need to go out of the building. Just go to the basement floor and there are a lot of restaurant before you go in the metro station.

    The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

    Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
