The Staff, The Atmosphere, The Surroundings, The Room - everything was very nice to me !! Being a foreigner in China, the language barrier is the most problematic factor, however due to the lovely and most supportive behavior of the staff there, my journey to and from there was really noteworthy to describe !!

All hostels in Shanghai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
