I highly recommend this place. Very well located, subway around and party places not far (Found 158). The bed keeps your privacy with curtain, a locker and your own lamp. They also provide a towel, toothbrush and flip flops. Beds are comfy and toilets are clean.

Amazing! One of the best hostels I've ever stayed (I've in so many, trust me!). Interior design is jaw dropping (Japanese style), location is convenient, beds are so comfy, they give you towel and so many toiletries, all the fixtures are very premium. Complementary drinks during night and a very good and varied breakfast as well. Staff very helpful and friendly always worrying about you feeling comfy. Summarizing, it feels like a boutique hotel, you must stay and thank me later!

Staff was incredibly helpful. Room was clean, and large than expected. Great view and great value. The housekeeper always kept the sheets clean and there was always bottled water in the room which is nice in hot summer Shanghai. All of the front desk staff speak enough english to with any problem you could have, and a few are extremely proficient.

All hostels in Shanghai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
