Liked: Good coffee, and the menu offers a 20% discount to guests at the hostel, which brings the prices from overpriced to pretty good. Close to Nanjing E subway stop, which is a straight line that connects BOTH airports (Pudong and HQ). Nice people and clean.

Disliked: We stayed in a double-room, which was fine, but the shared rooms seemed as if they'd be noisy - lots of hallways for people to walk in, and many of the guests didn't seem too concerned about noise later at night or early in the morning (fine for the double-room, though).

28 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was during the Expo when we stayed there. Prices surged everywhere, including this one, but it's so far the most reasonably priced option we found. Good value for money. The twin room we had is decent and clean enough, though the school opposite the building generated some noise in the morning.

Disliked: the breakfast. the sausage was bad.

Liked: A good location not far from the Bund and East Nanjing Street, and good communal areas where you can either meet other people or keep to yourself as you see fit.

Disliked: I stayed in a single with shared bathroom for two nights, which was clean but rather noisy so I had to move room. The breakfast in the on-site cafe (costs £2.50 extra) was a little disappointing, with stingy portions of toast and fruit.

Liked: This is a great location - just blocks from the Bund, but far enough away to be quiet. American breakfasts are pretty good, and so is the coffee. Staff are friendly & helpful.

Disliked: There was some type of very strong sweet odor that was supposed to be pleasant in my room - like some type of cleaner. I got used to it but would rather go without it.

Liked: We were very impressed with the hostel - very clean room, friendly atmosphere etc. They did not help us booking train tickets though (which was mentioned on the website and we had hoped to get help with.) I would still highly recommend this hostel if you are looking to stay close to the Bund.

Liked: Awesome hostel! Everything was way over my expectations for a cheap hostel. The whole hostel was very modern and fresh, rooms were clean, good place to meet new people, good and cheap food, good facilities. Also the price is very affordable.

Disliked: Only thing I didn't like was that one of the walls in the dorm had some mould on it. Should be fixed right away.

Liked: Great location, and restaurant and bar. Nice foyer for lounging around, sitting on the net. Nice noodle place for Y5.50 down the road. Restaurant had good valued breakfasts and cheap beers.

Disliked: Bunk rooms were noisy, request one away from stairs and bathrooms. Also beds were VERY uncomfortable. I could feel the springs coming thru, so had to sleep on the duvet. Dont know if all the beds are like this, but wasnt that comfortable.
