The staftt was very friendly! We had a problem with the cleanliness in the first room. It was no problem to change the room and the staff was very helpful. It is a nice hostel but the cleanliness standard is not like in europa. A lot of rooms have no windows just a small window to the floor. But look that you get a room with window and than you will have a great time. It have a very nice common room and a good location.   Read Owner Comments

This hostel is smelly, noisy, there was a lot of moisturing in the bathroom and the bed was really inconfortable. The only good point for us in this hostel was his location. For the staff it depends on the personn you are adressing : sometimes really nice, other times... Breakfirst was good.   Read Owner Comments

Stayed in dorm 311 one night. The room was bad. Too small for a 6-bed dorm, no windows. Instead of aircon just ventilator. Bathroom door without handle, but with a big hole, messy inside. Lockers with crippled doors. Wet and sticky inside of the room and hostel. Staff: some good and bad guys like everywhere else. Street outside smelled like something between poo and vomits. Location fine, just bothersome, if you got a lot of luggage. Next time in Shanghai we try twin or rather antoher place.   Read Owner Comments

This hostel has very little ventilation and no outside facing windows in the room so it is very damp and stuffy almost every where in the hostel. The atmosphere is nice and fun. The beer and food is reasonably priced and they have great happy hour specials (even though the drinks tend to be a little weak). All-in-all it is a fun and enjoyable place to stay.   Read Owner Comments

We were a bit weirded out about not getting a keycard for our room, but it was understandable after they explained it to us (maybe it would not be a bad idea to tell people the reason right away!) Housekeeping staff seemed a little lazy, we returned to our room every day to find new towels and toilet paper on our unmade bed...? And it was easily the most uncomfortable bed we had in China. The location is great though, and we had no significant complaints.   Read Owner Comments

En la habitación que estuvimos habían humedades a lo largo de las paredes de la cama. No había ventana y no se podía ventilar a menos que se dejase la puerta abierta. A nivel de calidad de la habitación y lavabo mal, localización bien. Los de recepción hablan un inglés excelente y son amables.
