The lockers were not in very good conditions; The information given to the guests by the staff is crossed (told 2 different people to have the same bed). Very clean place. Lovely environment. Nice people at the reception. I will recommend your services! Well done!

This was a nice place to stay. It was effectivly like a hotel. The room was cleaned daily which was nice. The beds were not so comfy however. You basically sleep on a mat on top of a wooden board. But i gather that this is what most hostels in China are like. They also have a lovely restaurant on the ground floor and a bar terrace on the top. It is quite a central location and only a short walk to the Bund sightseeing tunnel and other attractions.

This was my first stop on my travels and i've really enjoyed staying here. The location was brilliant. Down the road was a great coffee shop for the morning, 2 mins down the road was people's square, the subway and the art museum. Downstairs had a lovely little restaurant with great food for low low prices. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Also the hostel could get good discounts for loads of trips or cooking courses. I was very pleased with the Phoenix!!

Need to have more electric outlets in the room. Need to fix the heater which produced noise during the night. Need to check if there is rat on the ceiling. I heard something running around on the ceiling during the night.
