Le Tour Traveler's Rest Youth Hostel Reviews

Private rooms seemed a bit more expensive than I was accustomed to, but the quality of accomodations and the hostel as a whole was higher than other places as well.

I am not exactly sure why (maybe it's because I did not stay in Shanghai long enough to learn where all the tourist locations were. However, the hostel did not seem like it was in walking distance from everything. It seemed like it was more like a "15 Yuan ride" to everything. However, there is a subway stop several blocks away that you can use to get to places. If you use this place, use the map at the local subway to get around and you'll be better off. The hostel itself was OK.

Good location near Metro. the staff treat me like the weather.

I stay here when I come in from Nanjing. It's always spotless, quiet, and the staff is helpful. It's not a party place, but it's a good alternative to a hotel. The only disadvantage is that it's located down an alley and, the first time you go there, can seem strange. But it's a very safe area and near to all kinds of modern shops. It's near modern, expensive China, not traditional China, but it's a good place to rest up.

We would have like to have wifi in the rooms.

I was traveling with a friend, who arrived after I already checked in. I told the hostel staff of this fact, since I was not going to be present, and we booked a private room. When my friend arrived the staff (same girl) blatantly claimed that nobody under my name was staying there. Despite repeated descriptions she was rude and uncooperative. After some back and forth, she finally "found" me. Also unfriendly atmosphere (no outside food in lounge area, no use of facilities unless checked in).

Awesome hostel, super clean, good character, nice bar, great place to stay.

Great place to stay with friendly, helpful staff and a small but nice bar upstairs.The location is another positive. I highly recommend this hostel.

Even if the hostel was in renovation, the hostel was clean and not too noisy. The room was clean and I had a good sleep. Fyi, I had a private room in a double bed. I do not know if it was due to the renovation or a low season but there were not a lot of travellers. The bar on the roof is great but the drinks are overprices and the hostel does not distribute free map. For the drinks, you can have cheap one not far for 3.5 RMB instead of 20 RMB in the bar.

we had a very nice stay in November.

A section of Level 1 is under renovation now, so it's a slightly messy/ dirty at some areas in the hostel. Luckily the kind staff gave me a room on Level 3. Gotta lug my suitcase up to my room since there is no lift, but it was manageable as stairs are wide and not very steep. Rooftop terrace cafe/bar is really cool.

Hi I hope you can get the renovations done asap, It is a bit uncomfortable with the noise and dust around and with only one common toilet.

The location is not bad but a little far from the subway station. If I came without luggage, the location is good. Unfortunately the hostel was under reconstruction and few people here. So it is kind of boring being here.

Always good but right now doing some remodeling in the downstairs recreation area so you mght want to check with them if you plan to stay awhile and want the pool table, TV room.

I travel to Shanghai often and prefer to stay here for the friendly helpful staff, clean rooms, location and the great rooftop snack and drinks bar. It gets my vote for Shanghai. Peter

This is the fourth time I have stayed here, as I live in Nanjing, but often come to Shanghai. It's easy to get to from the RR station by taxi and about 20 Yuan. Simple. The staff always is friendly and helpful and their English is good. The rooms are always spotless and the water hot, so I'm happy. There is some fun, like pool and table tennis, but mostly I like it because it's peaceful and quiet

Le Tour Hostel had a true tourist-friendly atmosphere with a comfortable, safe and cozy environment, especially the rooftop bar:) The location is perfect, being within walking distance of all the 'must-see', must do'', and 'must-buy' venues. The whole hostel is spotless and this together with the helpful staff made our holiday one of the best!

Nice hostel in a good location. Clean rooms and friendly staff. The bar on the rooftop is very nice. There are currently renovations going on. They are timed well between 9am-9pm, but can be a bit annoying. I recommend this hostel to younger travellers.

Nice location, not right in the centre, but in a nice area and a 30 min walk into the French concession and very close to the metro which is just a couple of stops from People's Square, and dirt cheap. Nice roof terrace as well.

Hostel was remodeling during our stay. Noise.
