Location was easily accessible from the airport using the metro. Hostel also sent instructions to get to the place which helped. Plenty of places to shop and eat located really close to the hostel. Check-in was straightforward and staff were excellent. Hostel has all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay. Would come here again if ever I’m in Shanghai.

Good location, staff super friendly, facilities clean and clean and practical. Fei, Lei, and Xin went above and beyond to help! Great place 10/10.
What could be improved: NothingHanna from Belgium – 6 May 2025 (8/10)
Location is absolutely excellent, comfortable rooms, nice bar area.
What could be improved: Some of the staff were not too friendly (not all, there were a couple very helpful and nice people manning the reception as well!), we had to make our own beds (not a problem, but a little bit surprising) and we only got towels after a very long conversation where they first offered one of those disposable towels and only after insisting multiple times on a proper towel did we receive it.Thibaut from Australia – 29 April 2025 (9/10)
Very well located and managed. Very clean and comfortable. Good staff. Big social area where it is easy to meet new people or just relax.
What could be improved: NothingJorge from Australia – 22 April 2025 (9/10)
Great location. Close to a metro station, restaurants, and the popular nanjing road to spend time shopping or just hanging around
What could be improved: Beds could be a little bigger
