It seemed like an ok place, I got there late at night and left early in the morning so I don't know about fun or location in relation to all the fun stuff to do in Shanghai though. All in all a good place.

they changed the price after we arrived, which wasn't cool. bathrooms were super clean, although water pressure was rubbish. don't think id really stay here again, to far away from the bund and shopping areas.

I thought the hostel was great. It was very spacious and the bar/restaurant area was ideal.

I had to buy a supersized can of bugspray and nuked the room due to all the cockroaches. I must have zapped well over 75 of them that were everywhere from in the fridge to behind and under the bed. Not sure whether the room needs all the junk (electro magnetic oven? and microwave) where they like to hide out. The hostel is quite new though and not that bad although the bugs and cleanliness is unacceptable.

I paid a large deposit to book 11 nights at the hostel by Credit Card before I went to China but I didn't receive this deposit back. I'd like to know if you will credit my MasterCard with this deposit and if not, why not?   Read Owner Comments
