Stayed here four times since late 2011, every time has been impressive. Breakfast is lame, but everything else has been very good. Roof top bar is friendly too, and a decent place to hang out. Am traveling to Shanghai again this weekend, and the Captain's Lu An road is my first choice for accommodation. Easy for shopping, easy for transport,... More

I stayed here back in March 2011 (only just signed up this and the options for travel dates only go far back as May 2011) I shared a private room with two other people. We had our own bathroom. You can't beat the location, 10 secs from the Bund - the view is spectacular. Everything else we needed was within... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2012

For a hostel, we were surprised to find a flat screen tv (but no idea how to operate), toiletries & towels provided. Cleanliness is better than some 3-4 star hotel. Expect to hear chatters when other guests talk in the hallway though not noisy. The Bund is just a few steps away. Nearest Metro is some 20 mins walk. That... More

I stayed in this hostel for one night a few weeks ago. The hostel is fairly well located a stones throw from The Bund and a 10 minute walk to the Yu Yuan Chinese Gardens, although there isn't a metro station nearby. I stayed in a small, twin bed room with no exterior window just one overlooking the hallway. The... More

The place has basic, small double rooms. No english instructions for TV or AC. Quite noisy at night. Most disturbing was the fact that there is no metro close. At the desk they tell you the closest is Nanjing Road (30min walking) but actually it's Yuyuan Garden (20min walking). No western food at included breakfast.

My room had a window that didnt close and looked onto a restuarant's back alley full of noise and construction 24/7. I got no sleep whatsoever. I awoke one morning to giant welts on my face and upper body. The welts were from bed bugs that bit me during the night at this hostel. I immediately tried to check-out but... More
