9/10 Wonderful! (43 reviews)
The hostel is pretty good! The location is amazing greet close to the Nanjing Road, and easy access to the subway. Only detail is the check-in starts at 2:00 pm and not at noon. But it wasn’t a problem since we could leave our luggage in the lobby. The room conditions are pretty good too.
