This hostel has an excellent location, it is near the subway (you can easily reach the airport from the subway station), near Nanjing Road, that is actually a shopping street and it is also at a short walk distance to the Bund where you have an amazing view of Shanghai skyline. The staff was amazing, especially Luna, who was very kind and helped me a lot!

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.
