    Friendly and comfortable, but thin mattress
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room - Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    The thin mattress was no joke. I can sleep on just about any surface, so I was fine, but if your body is more sensitive, you might want to keep that in mind. The downstairs lobby can get a little crowded and slightly messy, but it's not like you'll be spending much time there anyway.

    The staff were really nice and spoke good enough English. They informed me at check-in that I could upgrade my room for free, which was great! I loved the room, it was very modern and comfortable and had everything a traveller might need. The shower was large and clean and worked very well. The bunk bed was spacious, too. They also provide you with some essentials for free, including slippers and a toothbrush. The room AC worked perfectly and the room temperature was easily adjustable.

    We stayed in dorm, perfectly comfortable and clean. Appreciate too the free laundry at the hotel. Guests can also use the bar for drinks and breakfast in the morning. The garden at the side of the hotel was what we definitely enjoyed; you can just relax there and have a drink and talk among friends after a whole day of going around Shanghai.

    A Hidden Gem in Shanghai Don’t be misled by the cover photo — while it might appear to be a hotel in a tall 15+ story building, the property itself is a charming three-story hostel with just a few rooms. This is precisely what makes the experience so special: excellent, truly personalized service, and all in English — a rare find in China. The facilities are brand-new, with thoughtful amenities and a delicious, generous breakfast. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is an exceptional choice for your stay in Shanghai.

    Need to climb steps to go to the room not convenient with all the luggages. Also the bathroom so small. Cleaner clean the room 60% without doing the bed and towel not properly folded for customers so we do not know towel changed or not.

    I did not take breakfast. As for the location it is pretty good easy to get didi to town center.
