Very good location, close to the main places in Shanghai and also the metro station people square. Especially really good work of Rachel at the reception, she was wonderful in her help, I did a mistake in my booking and she solve immediately after another colleague said me I had to fix by myself, Rachel just did it then.. really appreciate. Like a hospitality business owner, Rachel is pretty good in her job (I’m not sure if she was the manager, but she could be for sure), so kind, helpful, problems resolving, proactive, lovely with the customer, she improved my experience there in a 100% from the beginning until the end 😀 Thank you Rachel

We had a wonderful stay! The entire team was incredibly kind and helpful, but we especially want to thank Hazel—she went above and beyond to assist us and made our experience truly special. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-organized. I will definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends. Thank you again!

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.
