Superb location, Jing'an is nice residential area in shanghai. Nice private room at the hostel. Staff at the reception is very helpful, they can help to book flight tickets as well! Such a great help.

A great place to stay in Shanghai. The hostel was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The hostel is set a bit off the road (which is a good thing) and is a bit of a walk from the nearest subway.

Not much fun. Most travelers keep to themselves, and most of the people who stay there are locals who don't want to speak english.

Great location, if a little far from the subway stop, but much closer to the city center (and cheaper!) than many other similar hostels. No towels or toiletries in the private bathrooms, and no elevator, but other than that very cute and comfortable.

10 minute walk to Jinan Temple station, which makes it easy to get around to the major sites by subway. At the end of an alleyway, but don't let that frighten you - it's a relatively solid place with very helpful staff.

Average hostel. The staff lacks efficiency (e.g. too much time to check in). The worst is the tours that are organized via the hostel: avoid them!!! You will pay the double of the normal price for a tour made with a guide who will not care about you at all and will not even give explanations in...

the staff is very slow, the trip they propose are to avoid, the guide don't want to explqin q word in english even he speaks very well, the taxi they can book for the aeroport is too small (if you are more than 2). The rooms are realy dark and it smells humidity everywhere

Room, clean & bright. Kitchen is an empty shell - no utensils in it. Keep it all at reception - ask for hot water, cups etc there.

Gave rubbish HI discount (10 Yuan per room) and don't trust their guests,e.g., we were locked out of our room when we didn't pay next night's accomodation fee in time (despite requesting & them agreeing in morning that we would pay it in afternoon). Also, the fact they don't leave things like cups/plates in the kitchen, doesn't instill a feeling of trust!close

Roger, Grace, and the rest of the staff were accommodating, friendly, efficient and proficient in English. Lots of travel guide books to borrow and Wi-Fi as well. But it took me more than the 10 minute walk from Jing-An Temple, finally realizing that it wasn't ON Jiaozhou Lu but an alley off it. I would go back.close
