The place is great! Very good service, everyone helps you, very clean, and it doesnt look like a hostal, I think it should be announced as a hotel!!! Just outside the hostel they serve chinese food and its greeeeeeeat!! Even doe its not a fanzy part of Shanghai, its really close to the subway and to the bund! (5 mins in taxi)

I will surely stay there again!

Generally very good place to stay - nothing to complain about (unless you're allergic to cats, but I'm not).
The location's not great, but it's close enough to a metro station that it's really no disaster.

Comments (English):
SO FAR FROM ANY PLACE, SO SO FAR.
THE ROOMS ARE COOL, BUT REALLY SMALL.
TOO MUCH MONEY FOR BEING WHERE IT IS. FOR 10 MORE EUROS YOU CAN BE BY HUAI HAI RD IN A THREE STARS IN SUCH A BIGGER ROOM.
THEY HAVE TWO CATS AT THE RECEPTION WHICH SMELL BAD AND SO DOES THE RECEPTION.
FREE INTERNET SERVICE.
NICE PEOPLE.
BUT TOO FAR.
