For my purpose, the location was ideal and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Although the lobby was lively, the noise always died down by 11pm. My biggest complaint is the late night smell of cigarette smoke and foul sewer odor coming from the drain in the bathroom. The mildew smell was so disgusting in my first room, I asked to be moved. In my second room, the sheets looked like they had not been washed prior to my arrival. If they emphasized cleanliness, it would be a top spot! Read Owner Comments Jana, from USA ~ 6th Dec 2011

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The staff are fun and really helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the building itself is beautiful inside and out. I would thoroughly recommend this hostel to other people. Read Owner Comments ben, from Wales ~ 3rd Oct 2011

Very poor quality of bathroom facilities (doors of toilets can't be locked!). No breakfast available because the cook was too late. It's a nice building though, but more suited for the restaurant downstairs. Read Owner Comments Stefan, from Netherlands ~ 28th Sep 2011

Staff are great, very helpful. Dorm room is clean even if a little small. Common showers are great, common toilets a little dodgy, both locks were broken, but other than that, no complaints. This place is a little out of the way, but still very near all the sights. It's only a few stops to the People's Square by subway. Perfect if you want to get everywhere quick but don't want to stay right in the middle of Shanghai. Read Owner Comments Remco, from Netherlands ~ 19th Sep 2011

I was surprise to experience the warm welcome from staff, more so the owner. My son recommended me to stay here so I could have easy access to the Subway and shopping. It was worth the stay. Thanks to all for making my stay at Shanghai Koala Garden House safe and welcoming. Everyone was very helpful, even the morning when I was leaving for the Airport, I ask one of the Staff to assist me with my travel to the Airport Terminal, the Staff immediately assisted me. I'm felt greatly appreciated. Read Owner Comments Denise, from USA ~ 19th Aug 2011

I have been a regular visitor at the Koala Garden House for the last two years. I really like it here because I feel like I am at home...and I really mean that! The location might be quite far out from the main city, but the rooms and the atmosphere is definitely worth coming back. They offer free wifi in rooms, and free bath towel to shower. The cafe is also very beautiful. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to all visiting Shanghai!! Read Owner Comments Roy, from USA ~ 3rd Jun 2011
