“ I found The phoenix probably the best hostel in my experiences in China. Very good and professional staff, really well located in the center, near many good restaurants and shops. The balcony in the last floor has a wonderfull view of the old streets of Shanghai, perfect to enjoy drinks and breakfast or surf in Internet. ”

“ I would stay here again, because the location is great (15 min walking distance to The Bund) and what you get for your money is great, too. They have an excellent restaurant just downstairs and a rooftop bar with a great view, where you can have a nice sandwich for breakfast. So all in all, a good experience with only one thing, we had a cockroach in our room and it was huge, well for me it was. It fled behind the cupboard and we had to sleep with it alive for that one night. The horror. ”

“ The hostel has a good location close to most sights, metro and nice food streets, restaurants ect. The hostel itself has a very nice and cheap chineese which is a plus. The hostel was rather unclean though - both the rooms and the common area. Our room had bedbugs which is a major drawback becauce you wake up with bites and there is a risk of taking the bugs with you when you leave. The hostel is nice - but I would not reccomend due to the bedbugs. ”

“ A renovated hotel that serves well as a hostel. The fourth floor bar and garden are great, as is the location. Staff were helpful and friendly. A good place to stay in Shanghai. ”

“ We stayed in the deluxe private double room, although it was pretty standard. The was acceptable in the room, but really poor in the bathroom. Our toilet didn't flush properly. The restaurent at the ground floor was excellent with good pricing, and we ate there three of four nights. You cant get better location with walking distance to nearly everything. We would recommend this hostel for a cheap stay in Shanghai. ”
