Hostelworld says:
Hostelworld travellers say Mingtown Etour International Youth Hostel is 'in the very heart of Shanghai, [with] shops and places to hang out all around the hostel', 'very close to People's Square metro and Nanjing Road, [within] easy distance to French Concession'. Our guests frequently praise the comfortable, 'clean and well-maintained' rooms as well as the staff, who are 'nice, friendly and speak English well'. The onsite bar serves 'a good selection of European bottled beers'. We like their courtyard, which we're told is 'a great place to relax and look up into the skies'.

The Mingtown Etour Hostel is located in the most developed city in China -- Grand Shanghai! It's conveniently located at the center of the city right in the People's Square district.
Our hostel don't provide 24 hour hot water, the fact time pls call our front desk.
The entire hostel is built in old-fashioned Shanghai residential style, and the flat construction design distinguishes it from skyscraper hotels. It has its own central courtyard as an open area for guest activities. The building's traditional brick suits the surroundings well, and opens directly onto the cultural attractions of one of Shanghai's Nong Tong (old-style narrow streets).

Mingtown Etour International Youth Hostel says
We have a unique, natural atmosphere here. The bridge, running water, rockery and waterall make the whole hostel full of spirit. I really think the common area is the perfect fusion with nature. You can be here, where sunshine is your new clothing, green plants are your ornaments and the pool could be your crystal shoes. If you want to enjoy some quiet and comfortable time in the middle of this concrete jungle, our place is the ideal choice.

Living in our hostel, you can do a lot: early in the morning, play Tai Chi on the balcony. At noon, enjoy a plate of delicious fried rice in our café. In the afternoon, enjoy a cup of delicious coffee slowly in the yard. In the evening, you can be drunk with a guitar and a case of beer until the next morning. I bet you've never enjoyed a hostel quite like that!
I highly recommend the Shanghai Art Museum to guests. It has a rich history and art atmosphere and from time to time there are new exhibitions. More importantly, in the near future The Art Museum will move, so those who want to be close to the history and the art are running out of time.- Ma Zi, Owner
Hostelworld Guests Say
I always stay here when i visit shanghai (about once a month). Its a great hostel. The crowd is a little older, which means quieter nights and earlier mornings. The location is fantastic, fairly easy to find and with street food and inexpensive massage nearby. The info book at the front desk is incredibly helpful and the bar/resto is delicious and reasonable. Overall an A+ establishment.

Good location - walking distance to the Shanghai Museum & People's Square. Close to the metro as well. Staff were helpful for the most part, but not very friendly and it felt like they were annoyed when you would ask them a question. I liked that they served a good variety of food too. The "lockers" in the dorms do not lock, and they suggested that you leave your valuables at the lobby. Beds were comfortable but the windows don't have a screen so the bugs kept getting in - bring repellant!
