It preserves its noble air of some years ago, although the rooms destined to travellers with under budget, would need a reform. Anyway it is a recommendable hotel, due to its good situation, to the kindness of the staff, and to a very nice bar to take you a cold beer and some peanuts, after a long day.close

This is not really a 'hostel' in the traditional sense - more the staff rooms of the hotel converted into guest rooms, there is not really a lot of mixing between people since it is more a hotel really but the rooms are big, the service was good and generally a nice place, room service was... more This is not really a 'hostel' in the traditional sense - more the staff rooms of the hotel converted into guest rooms, there is not really a lot of mixing between people since it is more a hotel really but the rooms are big, the service was good and generally a nice place, room service was apalling with my slice of tomato being bigger that my burnt black burger but hey thats not why were there, housekeeping did leave our door unlocked one day but were very apollogetic when we mentioned this to them.... The resto connected to the hotel is top class but a tad expensive. but generally this is a very nice to stay if you are looking for budget accomodation with a first class feel - ideal for couples!!! although you will have to push the beds together!close

The Location is amazing and would still stay here if you are new to the city or just arriving by plane. There are tons of cheap hotels out of town I mean around 15USD a night and a cab accross town is only 3usd. basically you are paying for location of the bund which is just one part of shanghai

This place seems kind of expensive, but it's certainly got "character." This mostly comes from the old style architecture and interior design, which was pretty cool.

Beautiful old hotel, great location almost next to the river, my room was lovely BUT I think since I paid a discounted rate I got the room behind the motor room on the sixth floor, I woke up often due to the whirring noise.

Beautifully clean, but had three cockroaches visit me, suppose that has to be expected when next to a river. Would stay again but would request a room that is not behind the lift.close

very close to central Shanghai, is a place you should go, at least for 1 night. The only problem is that is not cheap for a backpacker. Staff helpful. A bit annoying when checking out, because they kept us there for some minutes to see if the towels where still there. Obviously they were!...

If you don't mind the price it's a great starting point for getting acquainted with Shanghai. Within walking distance of everywhere.

An amazing building with large rooms. Much more than I expected for a hostel.

this place has loads of character. it has been my favourite place to stay so far after 7 months of travelling. reasonably priced and good value for money. facilities are very good, rooms are huge, a good place to spoil yourself a little.

Great posh old hotel in good location only let down by the really smelly water in the bathroom and the unhelpful staff. Recommended if you dont wish to shower.

smells horrible - excessive use of wood polish makes it an almost toxic experience

Staff wasn't "warm" but extremely efficient. The character and location were great! For the price, I would never stay anywhere else in Shanghai

Don't be confused when you walk into the grand lobby, it is a YH! Treat yourself and feel like royalty for a few days. Twin room ensuite was massive, no AC but didn't need it. TV, phone, all the amenities. staff speak pretty good english and location is 5 mins from the Bund. Highly recommended.

I would recommend Pujiang Hotel to my parents who have never been to Asia. The hotel is a bargain, offering huge Victorian style rooms, modern clean bathrooms, daily housekeeping and prime location just next to the Bund. If it was good enough for Albert Einstein it is good enough for me!
