Had a great stay at this hostel! It’s new, nicely renovated, and in a perfect location to explore the city, just a 10minute walk to the metro. There are plenty of good restaurants and shops nearby for anything you might need.
They provide you clean sheets (which you will put on the bed yourself), slippers, a toothbrush, and free coffee or tea. There is also a laundry area available at a very affordable price. At checkout, they allow you to leave your luggage there.
The staff at the front desk were super friendly and always helpful, they took care of everything I asked for.
The room was clean, it has air conditioning, a comfortable bed and pillow, with a good bathroom and shower.
One thing I really liked: each bed comes with a locker you can open with your room card — which is actually rare in hostels in China!
The only weird part is that the sink and hair dryer are inside the room, so it can get a bit noisy if someone uses them early in the morning or late at night. But honestly, that’s a small thing; overall I totally recommend this place!
Spend a little more but stay in No.1 Youth international hostel. The have no common washrooms but one for every 6 persons room which is very uncomfortable to use. The staff isn't helpful

The service attitude of the front desk still did not disappoint me. Hehe, it is amazing every time. They handle problems quickly, accurately and thoughtfully. The front desk is a treasure. Boss, you really picked up a treasure. Where can you find such a good front desk baby? Thank you. I have lived here for a long time and it was a very happy journey. While doing a good job of environmental hygiene, the service has raised the grade. Very good, very good.

The service of the monkey at the front desk is very good. He is very cute and cheerful. If you need anything, just find him. The environment in the store is also very good. The experience feels like going home. The facilities and environment are all OK. Recommended. Highly recommended. Full score

The front desk was very generous and the service was super good. The whole check-in process was very good. The hygiene was excellent. It was clean and reassuring. The sound insulation was good. The air conditioning was cool and pleasant. Nothing else mattered. The important thing was that the front desk staff were all post-2000s and everyone was easy to get along with. Recommended. Full marks.

Satisfied recommendation
A good accommodation experience. All facilities of the newly opened hostel are new. The room type is irregular and the space is slightly small. There is a separate washbasin, toilet and shower room in the room. The sound insulation is not very good; the bedding is relatively comfortable

Response from Property: Dear friends: Your evaluation is the best motivation for us to move forward. We will continue to improve the service awareness of Xiaozhan employees and attach importance to the improvement of service quality. All Xiaozhan employees are looking forward to your visit again with your family! I wish you a happy life!
As a youth hostel, it is very good. In Shanghai, where the temperature is very high, the air conditioning in the room is very strong. Basic washing supplies are available. The auntie will disturb you during the day, and the hygiene is very good. The best thing is that the mattress and quilt have no odor and are very clean. The sheets and quilt covers are all new and you can install them yourself. Those who have requirements for trauma hygiene can choose it! In addition, each person has a locker, which can be opened by scanning the code. The cleanliness and safety are ideal, and I am very happy to stay here.

Facilities: The new decoration is good, but the washing machine and dryer are charged. I paid once but failed to use them. It's a bit unbelievable. The room facilities are average.
Hygiene: It's hard to comment. There was an unknown liquid on the sofa that was not cleaned up...
Service: The room we booked on the first day of check-in was gone, so we changed to a king-size bed room. They said they would help us change to a twin-size bed room the next day, but they ended up getting another king-size bed room. There were no toothbrushes on the first night. After changing the room, the shower gel was replaced with hand soap. There was no water. I don't know what the hotel is doing. But to be honest, the front desk service attitude is okay.
Environment: It's very far from the subway station. You have to ride a bike at least. It's quite close to the bus station; it's okay near Lujiazui

Response from Property: Dear guest, we are very sorry. We were negligent in our work and gave you the wrong room, which caused you an unpleasant trip. The sofa was covered with blood from the nose of the previous guest. We cleaned it with detergent, but we arranged for you to check in before it was cleaned up. It was our negligence. We are really sorry. Our hotel is only 750 meters away from Pudian Road Subway Station on Line 6, which is a ten-minute walk. If you have any questions or needs, you can contact our front desk at any time. Our front desk will help you as soon as possible. We can only say that we are really sorry for your evaluation. We hope that next time you can be satisfied with your check-in experience and wish you a happy life.
The service is excellent and responsive. The location is also easy to find, right next to the main road, close to the Huangpu River and the subway. The hygiene is very good, and the auntie cleans every day. When you check in, they give you three sets of clothes, which look very comfortable. This is quite a detail.

The sheets smelled and were not cleaned. The toilet was also dirty. The weirdest thing was that when I checked out, I gave the room card to the front desk, and the front desk started typing on the computer. It was my first time staying here, so I was waiting for instructions from the front desk. I stood there for a few minutes and looked at the front desk 3 or 4 times. The front desk kept looking up at me but didn't say anything. I waited for a few minutes and saw no response, so I asked, "Is everything all right?" The front desk said, "Just return the room card and it's done." I was so angry. If I return the card, it's over. Then why don't you know how to do it after standing there for so long?

Response from Property: Dear Green Card customer, first of all, welcome to our hotel. The disposable toiletries in our store are clearly marked with prices. Next time you check in, we will give you a set for free. In addition, the three-piece set of bed sheets for each guest is changed for each guest. The laundry factory handles it and sends it to the store. We then put it in bags and give it to the guests to put it on themselves. You said that the bathroom is very dirty. Our auntie cleans it every day. After the auntie finishes cleaning the room, our staff will also go to check the room to ensure the guest's check-in experience. You said you stood at the front desk for a few minutes. You handed the card to the front desk guy at 8:16:54. The guy told you that it was done after receiving the card. You stood at the front desk looking at your phone until you came to your senses at 8:18:50 and asked the guy if it was done. The guy repeated that it was done and you turned and left. We are very sorry for the bad experience this time. We are deeply sorry. Next time you stay in our hotel, we will definitely satisfy you. The store wishes you a happy life.
The lady at the door was very welcoming and lovely. Although it was an eight-person room, everyone was basically very quiet. The geographical location of Lujiazui is very convenient for travel and business!

The room is clean and newly renovated. The toilet and wash basin are in the room, which is very convenient. It is also between two subway stations, so it is convenient to go out and take the train. Very satisfied

Very satisfactory experience of the youth hostel near Lujiazui, with a very high cost performance
The location is the biggest highlight: the location of this youth hostel is really very convenient, just near Lujiazui. It only takes more than ten or twenty minutes to walk to the core landmarks such as Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Center, and it is particularly pleasant to walk and watch the night view at night. The subway station is also very close, and it is very convenient to travel. For tourists who want to experience the core area of Shanghai but don’t want to spend too much time on transportation, this location is a great advantage.
The price is surprising: In a location like Lujiazui, the accommodation price of only 60 to 70 yuan a day can be said to be very affordable. For travelers, students or backpackers with limited budgets, being able to find accommodation at this price in this location really saves a lot of expenses.
The accommodation environment is clean and tidy: I live in a six-person room. Although there are many people, the overall environment is kept very clean. Every day, an aunt comes to clean the room and public areas carefully, the beds are neatly made, and the public spaces such as the bathroom are also well maintained without odors, which makes people feel at ease. The beds have curtains and lockers with locks, and basic needs can be met.
The front desk service is thoughtful and patient: especially the brother and sister at the front desk. They have a very good attitude. Whether I check in, ask questions, or need some help, they are very patient and meticulous, answer clearly, and are very efficient, making the whole check-in process smooth and feel good.
Summary: If you want to find a centrally located, affordable, clean and hygienic youth hostel, and are mentally prepared for multiple rooms, then this youth hostel is a very worthwhile choice. Especially combined with the location of Lujiazui and this price, its cost-effectiveness is really high. Recommended to friends who focus on budget and convenient location.
