I liked EVERYTHING. I am an experienced traveller, and have seen many hostels. But this one stands out for sure. First of all, it is located in a PERFECT place: hidden from street noise, but in walking (3 mins) distance from the main walking street in Shanghai. Secondly, the stuff (beautiful ladies) is very helpful, always smiling and positive, ready to answer to all your questions. There is a nice common area to have socialise, there are free morning yoga classes , social gatherings to find new friends, there is a microwave, a PC for usage if needed, you can leave your luggage if you have a late flight. The room itself is small, but it is expected. It is air-conditioned very well, shower is very comfortable. What I loved most is a huge well-equipped gym - this is something you can rarely find in a hotel, not even talking about hostels. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Shanghai for a few days - trust me, you won’t find a better option. Highly recommended! Huge thanks for hospitality ❤️☺️

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.
