Mingtown Etour International Youth Hostel Reviews

I always stay here when visiting Shanghai. It's close to People's Square and the walking street and the Metro. The people running the hostel are nice, friendly, and speak English well. The rooms are inexpensive, yet very comfortable and the bar is very nice with good food.

Value for money excellent.. really easy to access downtown good. just 10 bucks for 1 night (6 person dorm)

Great hostel, great location

the only problem is everything need to paid by cash. and outside the hostel its not easy to find a ATM

The location was excellent. You can walk to most of attractions in an hour, and of course easy access to the subway station. It was not so quite in the room, but 55RMB for a bed(6 dorms) absolutely value the money. The bar&restaurant you can use wifi. There was a staff who could speak good English, she was very kind and helpful.

Location was great, very close to People's Square metro and Nanjing Rd, easy distance to French Concession. Common areas were nice to hang out, they are exactly as pictured. Very clean. My 6 bed dorm room wasn't great, but others had better. Bed springs were poking my back. Some lockers didn't lock. Dim lighting made it hard to see lockers at night. No toilet paper in toilets, you have to ask for it. Limited hot water and a sign asking you to avoid use between 11am-1pm, 7pm-11pm.

It was a clean en very good located hostel with a lot of facilities. A little hard to find for the people who do not know the city but for me it was easy because I\'ve been there before.

I think most of the comments are true. being. a traveller in my 30 s I found it strange that g.uests were not allowed in rooms. when I arrived my friend was helping me with bags and they said he can't go through . just a little strange. also wifi is only in the foyer. for the price I would expect it in the rooms. I did some research and you can get a lot better for a little more money if you want a room. this place would be great for dorm lovers Ames back pack travellers

Excellent location. Great common areas in the hostel. Rooms are clean and well maintained with televisions ( but note there are no English speaking channels ).

Love the decks and gardens, hate the lack of internet in single rooms. The hostel rocks in my opinion. Staff is excellent. Room sheets a bit tired and stained but clean enough. My favorite hostel in Shanghai if not the world.

The rooms were great and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

L'ostello non era male di per se. Il problema maggiore sono stati i servizi annessi. In

I was really pleased with this hostel. We booked a double room which had a nice comfy bed. Showers were hot and there was even a hairdryer on the wall of the bathroom! Bar seemed pretty pricey but maybe that's just Shanghai.

Very good common room, nicely decorated. Double room (with shared bathroom) very ran down and tiny. Noisy as facing a street alley, but I suppose you should expect noises straight in the middle of Shanghai ! Expensive cooked breakfast, often cold and not meeting Western standards in terms of quantity although prices did...Excellent location between the French Concession and People's Place.

Great place to stay, and I will definitely come back.

Very good location, we lived in Shanghai before and that is why chose hostel in that location. Excellent value for money.
