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.

Everything is fine.Come to China for a few days like me, and I think it's worth the price.In addition, there is no map in China that can accept pure English, so I chose Google Navigation.But it keeps showing wrong.Apart from this terrible thing, I think everything else is fine and everything is going well.I love the delicious food in China.

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.
