Liked: Excellent location of this hostel made for a really great stay in Shanghai, as the hostel is so close to the Bund and other major tourist sites. Th desk staff were always extremely helpful and had a good understanding of English which proved very helpful for us. Rooms were very well appointed and our en suite bathroom was above expectations. Try the street vendor in the side lane next to the hostel for a great cheap breakfast.

Disliked: Beds were very hard even though I know this is a comon trait of beds throughout China.

Liked: Friendly and helpfull staff, nice enough location. Clean rooms and fun atmosphere.

Disliked: Not many other hikers make initial contact, unless you sleep in a dorm. I guess that's a drawback of a larger hostel.

Liked: It was very clean. Location close to the Bund.

Disliked: Internet hardly ever worked. Reception staff were rude and provided unreliable tourist information. Basic dorms do not have windows, which is not stated on hostelbookers. Awful nights sleep due to other guests in our dorm, one came in gone midnight and the other at nearly five in the morning. They both switched main light on. Generally, a very noisy hostel. If you want a good nights sleep then don't come to this hostel.

Liked: Excellent single luxury room and dorms are not too bad either (I have stayed in both rooms, 2 nights each). Very clean rooms (hostel standards) and the location is absolutely amazing.

Disliked: While the rooms may be clean and the sheets smell clean, I can't say the same of the staircase or the corridors. The noise isolation between the rooms could be better.
