The location is close to the Bund (walking distance), the style ( minimal, but modern, like a co-working space). The staff is very nice, helpful. You have a coffee machine and filtered water in the common area. The place is clean, very friendly and open to tourists ( next time I will stay here for sure). I got a nice window view. The room is small and might be a bit of a struggle to get to the top bed. But overall I am very happy with my stay! It has everything an European hostel has and even more! Thanks!

The staff was very good. The room was modern, clean and light. Check in was 3 hours earlier than it should be. Also they allowed us to keep our baggage after we checked out till the evening without extra charge. On the first floor there are 3 china cafes. The cat was cute.

Perfect location: The hotel is right next to Nanjing West Metro Station (Line 2, Exit 4) and not so far from Line 13 entrance. It also locates between Wujang St and Maoming St which have a handful of cafes and food stores. Friendly staff: Eventhough the local staff cannot speak EL much but they are absolutely helpful, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Big and nice space in front of the front desk: You can enjoy your food/drink or work or study at the tables there since food/drink is prohibted to bring into bedrooms.

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.
