Rock&Wood International Youth Hostel Reviews

Very nice hostel. Modern, clean, nice bathrooms and showers. Free wifi and plugs at every bed. About 10 minutes walk from Subway.

Since it is as big as a hotel, don't expect any atmosphere or character. Staff is more helpful and friendly than at other big hostels I know though, and there are also the usual amenities, such as large facilities and computers available. Location is a bit too far from the nearest metro station and there are only local eateries with Chinese-only menu in the surroundings.

good clean hostel, located in west shanghai easily accessible from the west yanan or jiang su metro stops

Very helpful, understanding staff.

Nice place. Maybe not easy to find because is hidden in the alley with little indication. Outside look is really poor, but if you cross the gate you can find a nice and confortable place to explore Shanghai.

Nice, clean rooms 15 minute walk away from Shanghai's excellent subway. Good wifi and air conditioning a bonus!

Lovely clean hostel with very friendly and helpful staff.

Great hostel, about 5 mins walking from metro station. We had a double room, a little small but very comfy bed and fantastic ensuite all of which was very clean. Communal areas were lovely but it was very quiet, not much atmosphere, mostly people on laptops. Great value for money though, would stay there again.

Beautiful hostel, nice atmosphere. Nice terrace outside. The towels were cleaned every day. Location wasn't near the center, but it was a short walk to the subway. Expensive menu though.

This is the nicest hostel ever. It feels like a spa retreat the design is beautiful, there are tons of places to sit and spend time alone or with friendly travelers. The neighborhood is great, not too far from the French Concession and plenty going on in terms of markets, stores, restaurants and even cute boutiques. Go go go!

This place was awesome. It was really fun, with pool table, guitars, koi pond... The location was really easy to find, somehow very centrally located in shanghai, yet un a quiet enough area. This was a huge relief, getting off the train and finding this place with no problem. I didn't even have to change lines on the subway. The rooms were nice, and the beds comfortable. Definitely will commend,

Was sometimes a litle noise in the night, from other people they did also stay at rock&wood! Its a nice place to stay for some days, and its near the metro.

I have been here twice now and I love it! The availability of fresh juices at the cafe is definitely a bonus!!! The breakfast service was a bit slow last time, but I just came at the wrong time, I think.

The best hostel I ever tried, beyond doubt. Nice staff, very beautiful rooms (especially the toilet) and the breakfast was priceworthy. Although you could wish the cofee to be included in the breakfast. Thats my only complaint. But the feeling of walking down the stairs and then relax with the view from the garden in the soft sofas, is hard to beat.

Good, well thought out design. Nice wood smell in the rooms.

Very comfortable and clean. The staff was really helpful and knew extremely specific directions to get around town on the metro. Nice double rooms, but a tiny bit out of the center of town. Either way, I would still stay there again.

We stayed 1 night instead of 4. They never told us or showed on their website that they had a dog walking around. And since we haven't been crazy for dogs because of experience we couldn't stay here. Especially when the owner refused to put it on a lease. They rather loose a lot of money instead of providing their guests a pleasant stay. We had an expensive room but the shower was broken, toilet was smelly and we could hear a lot of noise in our room. In general: not the atmosphere we wanted.

If you don\'t mind the garbage bags next to the stairs all day it\'s a clean place. Try to go somewhere else for breakfast. There are plenty places nearby. Food is o.k. there but it will cost you between 40 minutes up to 1.5 hours of your day. They will drive you nuts if you need a coffee to get the day started.

Great looking hostel. Private rooms very nice, clean very cool lounge/bar/relax area. Good access to airports/train stations too. Would definitely stay here again.

Really recommended, excelent service and facilities
