I think we landed the best hostel in Shanghai for the value! Clean room, comfy bed, well-equipped bathroom, nice-looking shared space to work, unbeatable location (2 mins walk to Nanjing road, plenty of shops, cafe and restaurants), and especially super staff - thanks Xu Yun who helped and gave us a half-day stay without any charge since our flight was delayed. If ever I go to Shanghai again, this is the place.

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.

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.
