Old West Gate International Youth Hostel Reviews

The hostel is pretty far from the subway station, it takes like 15 minutes to get to the nearest one. The internet works only in the lobby and the speed is very bad, most of the time webpages don't open, and only skype is working. The whole atmpsphere is pretty average, place is pretty clean, but I believe there are a few thigns that can be improved, to make the whole place better.

Nice place with a Chinese spirit to it. Worth its price.

We waited 1 hour when we arrived, they told us our room was no longer available and then all of a sudden it was..lack of organisation. I stayed 5 days, and had to call reception to ask for a change of sheets/towels etc. More focus required on customer care.

Fricken freezing!! Not all that english friendly if you want to use the computers or hangout in the common area. But location is very ideal and its cheap! I highly recomend getting a private room so you have heat, cleanliness, western toilet, and security!! Must pay cash.

Nice hostel in a great location. Comfy couches, pool table, wifi and secure rooms. Make sure you try the pulled noodles from the small shop diagonally across the intersection from the hostel.

the hostel would be better in summer as it was freezing in the common area the dorms are good but i struggled to communicate with some of the staff on basic stuff. to note no maps of shanghai in english (go to the flash hotel by the raised bridge up the road they'll give you a good one) or guide books of any description, internet slow to non existent.

Nice hostel in a great area where the locals still like it to see foreigners. It's only 10 minutes away from the metro and 10 minutes away from the Oldtown. Definitely will stay here again when I return to Shanghai!!

Location.. well near by streed market and Yu garden. But need to walk to subwaystation for 5 minete. It\'s not that far. Right next to Henan road it makes them to easy to find. I\'m satisfied about this hostel. As u cee it\'s only 7$.
