I stayed here for 1 night during my trip to Eastern China and liked it so much that I stayed there again when I came back to Shanghai from Hangzhou. I especially liked the comfort of my room, the location and the great service mentality of the staff, particularly Tang who kindly handled my check-in and check-out.

I can’t rate this place highly enough. This was my first stop as a tourist in China and upon arrival at 3 am reception helped me set up my Alipay and communicate with my taxi driver. The staff were always so kind, the location was walking distance to attractions, food and transport. The beds were comfortable and private. On my final day the beautiful lady from reception helped me to catch a bus well beyond any staff member has ever helped me in my travels. Everything about this place was perfect for a traveller.

All hostels in Shanghai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
