Shanghai Hidden Garden Youth Hostel Reviews

Staff very friendly, eager and helpful, Hostel felt like a family, a few cute dogs running about.. Location a bit far out but good if you wanna be away from the city feel. Rooms, well my dorm room felt like staying in a girls bedroom full of the clothes hanging everywhere, and shoe boxes piled up. Not your average dorm feeling, felt like they should be told to tidy up a bit. Hostel Common areas, comfy, homely! Longer stayers at the hostel wear disrespectful, always on net in rooms at night.

A great hostel in Shanghai; very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere!!! Staffs are very nice and friendly. Facilities are excellent. I like it a lot, and when I come back to shanghai next year I will stay here again for sure.

Is a good hostel. 10min walk to metro line 4 but is far to the center. The second floor room are better than the first. The last one smells humidity. It has a very good garden and to many relax places.

Worst hostel stayed in! Booked online but booking not held and different room given after 30min check in. Rooms filthy-Bedding and matresses smelt of urine and stained yellow on every bed! Dog urinated next to lockers. Rooms windows open to public courtyard in dogdy area. Open drains smelt of sewage. Bathrooms had hoses no shower heads and filthy, broken glass shelving and mirrors. Internet too slow to even book another hostel. Staff rude and unhelpful! Checked out immediatly go to Phoenix A***

this hostel is great and a retreat from the busy city life not too far from the city center. staff is friendly and helpful. the only thing is that bathrooms tend to be quite smelly. i have been in two different rooms during my stay and both bathrooms were really smelly, so that basically the whole room smelled like it.

Located down an alley, but once found it was great staying there. The owner is really nice and helpful about the local area in terms of where and where not to go. It was clean and safe and suited us for the price.

This is a nice hostel with avery nice garden to chill out. Don't come here if you don't like dogs, they've got a bunch of them!

Very hard to find for cabdrivers myself would have done a better job but since the subway closes at 11 we didnt have any choice..

Beautiful outdoor, lots of fun, all services are good. The boss is very nice! he bought boxes of beer and ask every one to joint. The only problem is that you have to walk around 20mins to the nearest metro, however it is not an issue for 1st or 2nd day of your trip.

We enjoyed it so much. It was our first day in China, we arrived from the airport, sweating all over, heavy luggage, a little lost in the new city. And the in the hostel was just exacltly what we needed. Friendly, very open, ready to help with every problem. The room´s comfort factor is not A+, but for that price it´s far more than you expect. There are great services in the hostel, like hundreds of free dvds to watch, and it really has charakter and flair. The perfect place to welcome China!

Room without window not so nice (stinky).
