The courtyard was really nice and with a good atmosphere. It was a really calming place. The only thing we didn't like was the humid room with a kind of moldy smell. But it was raining when we came so maybe that had an impact. Good location.

The rooms smell very bad, some of them dont have windows and smell too much like humedity you could grow mushrooms. If you decide to come make sure you get a room with window. The bathroom in the room smells always like pee and is pretty disgusting. Is close to the train station and lots of good places to eat around. Perfect for a couple of nights, but for longer staying is a bit annoying.

In order to get to the hostel you have to walk along an alley, that at night is very dark. Bathroom needs a better cleaning. I stayed 4 nights, and housekeeping went to pick up garbage only once. Wi-Fi works excellent.

Stayed 1 night in a private twin so can't rate many aspects fairly. Price was good, but distance is a little far from MTR, especially in rainy weather as drainage on the foot route there is poor. Well signposted, and facilities were good but private bathroom smelt awful, hair still in shower drain, urine still on toilet, grime on basin and a foul stench that filled the room. Not terrible given the price, but will look elsewhere next time.

The host was good, and the place is definitely one of the best choices of staying in Shanghai. In China, you know it is rare to have such a place like this at this price

Great hostel... a bit of a trek from the metro station, but they make up for it with the nice clean rooms and comfortable furnishings...and also the nice atmosphere and pleasant service...
