Situated in Shanghai and with Shanghai Railway Station reachable within 1.8 km, WeFlow Youth Hostel - Shanghai People's Square Jing'an Joy City features express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is around 1.6 km from Pedestrian Street of East Nanjing Rd., 2.2 km from People's Square and 2.6 km from Jade Buddha Temple. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. Very professional Western-style hostel with all the amenities you need. Internet was good, staff was helpful and friendly. Location is convenient, walking distance from the centre and The Bund, but metro is just minues away if you don't feel like walking. I liked the self-service restaurant right next door, catering mostly for workers from neaby construction sites: food is 17-20 yuan, beer 4 yuan, and you can smoke inside like locals do.
