MINGTOWN Hiker International Youth Hostel, Shanghai, China

94%

This is a fantastic hostel humming with people and located right in the old colonial quarter of Shanghai. The building itself has some nice architectural features and the are some great street-food locations near buy as well as heaps of little eats just over the river to the North. The staff couldn\'t be more helpful and the place was kept really clean and lovely. The bunks were comfortable in nice air-conned rooms. Sadly there seems a choice between either window (thus daylight) or a shower. The worst aspect is the kitchen. It\'s quite shockingly poor with no utensils to use, nor plate or bowls nor a kettle (though hot tea water is available upstairs). It was pretty much useless except for cooling beers in the fridge.

nice hostel to live in, about a 10 minute walk from the nanjing east road subway station and felt safe. the staff is friendly and seems to know the surroundings very well. the only dissatisfaction during my stay was an elderly gentleman in the same room who snored very loudly and moved around the room like a monster during odd hours of the night. otherwise the stay was great.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They could do with cleaning the toilets a bit more frequently. But all in all, a great place to stay.
