Not that I'm saying they are fakes, but I think maybe some of these "Novice" folks with glowing reviews are just really young and have no frame of reference about what a hostel experience can be. Or they are fakes. Hard to know. First things first: Normally, I don't do cabs a lot, but the subway closes pretty early in... More

I have been in China for two and a half years and hence have seen my share of hostels so trust me when I say that Shanghai SOHO International Youth Hostel is: A truly amazing place! The staff are great, which naturally makes a lot of difference, but also the place has great interior design comprising of parts and levels... More

Nice location. Close to the railway station which is just one station away from the People Square. Convenient while stay away from the crowd. Taxi can't stop in front of the door but it is just a minute walk. Good decoration. Located in a traditional Shanghai building. Enough common area for meeting other travelers. Have basic facilities for travelers. Such... More

Really nice staff. Really nice athmospere. Really nice food:-) I would come back! Nice style some rooms have no window just to know.

This place is easy to find and it puts you right in the vicinity of locals. You can even take a leisurely walk all the way from people's square. The rooms are old but the place has character. Basic room's bed is big enough for three people (Asians) to squeeze in. I dislike the carpeted floor inside the room because... More

Staff are friendly and generally helpful. Its a nice place to chill and lay back. The underground train is excellent if somewhat busy, and the hostel is in good striking distance of the city. There is a nice park next to the hostel for a walk or taking your lunch. The river/canal is across the road and makes for a... More

We had stayed at three different hostels in Shanghai before arriving here. The people here are absolutely amazing! Location is wonderful. Walking distance to Metro and People's Square. We would have stayed forever. We will return to Shanghai soon, and we will go no further than here! -Michael and Deiederik

Stayed in a dorm room. Metro stop nearby, and walking distance to People's Square. Great staff, they really roll out the red carpet for you. Could stay here indefinitely due to the great rates and friendly staff. Comfy loft hangout to use your computer or read. Never any problem with hot water for showers. Lockers in the room. No complaints.

A wonderful place who cares the guests more than themselves, it is a perfect place for your stay in shanghai. I loved the attitude of the people there. The fascilities are too good. You have 24 hours free internet, hot water, and heater in your room. The bedsheets are cleansed regularly. I highly recommend this place for comfortable stay at... More
