わりと快適

4日滞在ましたが、周りの中国人に囲まれながら楽しく過ごせました。 カードキーが反応が悪く微妙でしたが、その他は割といいです。 ただ夜遅くまでうるさく周りにひたすら話しかけられるので、静かに寝たい人にはあまりお勧めしません。 楽しくワイワイ過ごすならここはお勧め。 100万ドルの夜景もすぐ見に行けるため毎日行きました。 駅からもそんなに遠くないのでいいと思います

Bra läge och hyfsat fräsht. Sista dagarna mindre fräscht i badrummet, annars bra pris om man bara behöver nånstans att sova. Ena receptionisten var dock sur och grinig. Baren på taket och Jazz baren utanför höjer betyget, även om de var väldigt dyra

Odentlich aber chaotisch

Ordentliche Jugendherberge, kein Luxus, aber beste Lage. Leider Chaos bei der Anmeldung, unter dem Ganzen Zettelhaufen der Reservierungen (unsortierte handschriftlich Notizen und Ausdrucke) war meine Reservierung und Zahlung bei Hotel.com nicht auffindbar, nach einer halben Stunde Suche und Diskussionen war dann aber irgendwie plötzlich alles OK.

観光に便利な場所に位置してリーズナブルに泊まれるホテル。

とても安く泊まれるのに、外灘まで徒歩5分という立地が良い。加えて、隣にコンビニがあり、地下鉄の駅からも徒歩10分ほどで到着できるという好環境である。英語が通じるスタッフもおり、上海は初めてという人におすすめしたい。

Tolle Lage, Immer wieder gerne

Die Zimmer waren an sich sauber, jedoch wurde im "Badezimmer" damit stark nachgelassen. Das Personal war stets freundlich und bereit zu helfen (Englischkenntnisse vorhanden!! ;) ). Die Ausstattung hielt sich in Grenzen, aber da es "nur" ein Hostel ist, konnte man da auch nicht mehr erwarten. Jedoch besaß das Hostel eine Rooftopbar auf der man eine schöne Aussicht auf den Bund hatte.

立地は最高の格安ホテル

ドミトリーは部屋が広く、人数が多いので、他人が気になる人はキツイかも。ベッドは清潔でOK。 個別のロッカーもあり安心できる。部屋のカギがオートロック式の割にはドアが古く固いので、カギが開いたら力を入れてあけないと開かない。 シャワー室はプールのシャワー室のようだったが、物を置くスペースもあり思ったよりキレイだった。問題は隣接するトイレ。どこをどう使えばこうなるのか、便器からのOBが大も小あり、使えないトイレが5つのうち3つもあった。私がタイミングが悪いだけなのか分からないが、清掃の回転が悪い気がする。 基本的に豫園にも外灘にも南京東路にも近いので立地は最高だと思う。

friendly staff, very clean, great location

Stayed in a dorm-style room, and the accommodations were great: comfortable mattresses and bedding, washing machines, very clean toilets and bathrooms, and plenty of air conditioning (very important in Shanghai in the summer). Staff were very helpful and spoke good English. Also, the location is literally a block behind the Bund, and about a five minute walk from East Nanjing Road (subway stop + Western style shopping plaza, if you're into that). Convenience store next door with most all the necessities you might need, and plenty of store-front food vendors around, if you're like me and want a taste of the local cuisine.

If there wasn't construction...better

When I have stayed the 4th floor of this hostel, shower rooms and rest rooms were closed due to constraction. So I had to go to the 1st floor. From about 10a.m. there was big noise of construction. And at night there was a restaurant and a music band played music till midnight (about 0:30am). So I did not want to stay there any more. And they seemed to not change the bed linen after check out. No towel. So If there was no construction I would have give 2.5. Location is close to "The Bund", 2 minites by foot. But it takes about 15 minites from the nearest subway station by foot if you have a luggage. Staffs can speak English well. Big secure locker for each in the room. And on 6th floor there is a bar. Free Wifi (Not in the room, only the 1st floor and bar on the 6th floor. So if you a late-night person and after construction, seldom walk to the nearest station by foot, and no bed linen exchange is OK, I recommend this hotel.

Once again, I have to say that the biggest advantage of this hostel is the prize. Still, there is a jazz bar which is the coolest bar right cross the street. You might feel noise in some cases, but it's totally different when you have chance to stay in that jazz bar.

Awesome for a hostel stay

One of the best hostels I have stayed in. Friendly staff. I had trouble with my bank, so they allowed me to leave my passport at the front desk in lieu of the cash-only deposit that is common in China. The beds were clean, the shared bathrooms were as clean as can be for a hostel. There were secure lockers in the rooms for individual use.

可接受的住宿地方

住的房間是4樓的水手艙(共有七人住一間)，但是可以與各地來的遊客交流，這種經驗滿難得的。而浴室則是稍為老舊了點，但是離去的時候，4樓的浴室正要進行重建的工程(到5月中)，也許這之後會改善許多。而廁所每天早上都會有人打掃，所以滿乾淨的。而櫃台的服務員，的確是比較沒什麼熱情，但不會不理人就是了。唯一的缺點就是旅館對面有個酒吧，有時候晚上12點以前會滿吵的，所以靠近馬路的房間可能會被吵到。

The biggest advantage of this hostel is lowest prize ever, But one of my U.S. friend lost some coins during his trip, he said that one of the workers had strong suspect to this event. Averagely, if you keep eye on your belongings very carefully, this hostel is not bad.
