A great place to stay in Shanghai, we were delighted to find a big clean four poster bed, a walk in shower with reasonable power and consistant hot and cold water and a flatscreen television in our double en-suite hostel room. The hostel is about a ten minute walk from the nearest metro station Zhongshan Park, the best line for... More

Here is really nice place to enjoy the tranquility. And Here is very clean, there are nice people. You can enjoy reading books, talking with your friend, and also working. But if you want to travel hurriedly, I cannot reccomend here. Becouse here is not so convinient from center of Shanghai city.

The best hostel I ever tried, beyond doubt. Nice staff, very beautiful rooms (especially the toilet) and the breakfast was priceworthy. Although you could wish the cofee to be included in the breakfast. Thats my only complaint. But the feeling of walking down the stairs and then relax with the view from the garden in the soft sofas, is hard... More

To start off booking with Rock & Wood was easy enough, I only made one phone call, no deposit no hustle. When me and my boyfriend arrived on the day, I was impressed with the hostel interior design. Beautiful and spacious garden, roof terrace, stylish dining/sitting area, pool table, wide selection of coffee and tea at the bar. Our room... More

We were there for two nights and i'm so regretful that we could have stayed longer due to our train scheduled to leave for Beijing in 2 days. Nevertheless, i will be back again to Shanghai.
