편리한 위치는 굿!
위치도 좋고, 가격 대비 굉장히 좋아요!! 근데 난징동루역에서 그리 아주 가깝지는 않아요~
와이탄 바로 옆에 있어요.. 푸동개발은행 바로 뒤에 위치함~~ 침대가 비꺼덕 소리도 안 났어요..ㅎㅎ

Average
I got to stay one night for free but compared to other hostels I had stayed, this was the worst. The owner was unfriendly, the bed was high and the bathroom was filthy. Luckily, I just stayed there for one night!

Great value
Excellent location for a first time visit to Shanghai. The jazz and blues bar across the road is cool and conveniently placed, but a bit annoying if you want to get to bed early.

굿굿 좋아여
한창 추울때 가서 좀 춥긴했지만 전체적으로 굿굿 좋았어요. 방도 깨끗하고 샤워할때 뜨거운물도 콸콸나오고 화장실도 깨끗하고.... 직원들도 친절하고 좋았어요. 추웠어서 안락함은 3점... ㅠㅠ

Bra läge och hyfsat fräsht. Sista dagarna mindre fräscht i badrummet, annars bra pris om man bara behöver nånstans att sova. Ena receptionisten var dock sur och grinig. Baren på taket och Jazz baren utanför höjer betyget, även om de var väldigt dyra

Ubicacion inmejorable
Muy pocas veces me he quedado en un hostel, pero este resulto muy bueno, limpio, seguro y cercano a todos los atractivos de Shanghai.
Ordentliche Jugendherberge, kein Luxus, aber beste Lage. Leider Chaos bei der Anmeldung, unter dem Ganzen Zettelhaufen der Reservierungen (unsortierte handschriftlich Notizen und Ausdrucke) war meine Reservierung und Zahlung bei Hotel.com nicht auffindbar, nach einer halben Stunde Suche und Diskussionen war dann aber irgendwie plötzlich alles OK.
Die Zimmer waren an sich sauber, jedoch wurde im "Badezimmer" damit stark nachgelassen. Das Personal war stets freundlich und bereit zu helfen (Englischkenntnisse vorhanden!! ;) ). Die Ausstattung hielt sich in Grenzen, aber da es "nur" ein Hostel ist, konnte man da auch nicht mehr erwarten. Jedoch besaß das Hostel eine Rooftopbar auf der man eine schöne Aussicht auf den Bund hatte.
Stayed in a dorm-style room, and the accommodations were great: comfortable mattresses and bedding, washing machines, very clean toilets and bathrooms, and plenty of air conditioning (very important in Shanghai in the summer). Staff were very helpful and spoke good English. Also, the location is literally a block behind the Bund, and about a five minute walk from East Nanjing Road (subway stop + Western style shopping plaza, if you're into that). Convenience store next door with most all the necessities you might need, and plenty of store-front food vendors around, if you're like me and want a taste of the local cuisine.
When I have stayed the 4th floor of this hostel, shower rooms and rest rooms were closed due to constraction. So I had to go to the 1st floor. From about 10a.m. there was big noise of construction. And at night there was a restaurant and a music band played music till midnight (about 0:30am). So I did not want to stay there any more. And they seemed to not change the bed linen after check out. No towel. So If there was no construction I would have give 2.5.
Location is close to "The Bund", 2 minites by foot. But it takes about 15 minites from the nearest subway station by foot if you have a luggage.
Staffs can speak English well.
Big secure locker for each in the room.
And on 6th floor there is a bar.
Free Wifi (Not in the room, only the 1st floor and bar on the 6th floor.
So if you a late-night person and after construction, seldom walk to the nearest station by foot, and no bed linen exchange is OK, I recommend this hotel.
Once again, I have to say that the biggest advantage of this hostel is the prize. Still, there is a jazz bar which is the coolest bar right cross the street. You might feel noise in some cases, but it's totally different when you have chance to stay in that jazz bar.
