The Phoenix in Shanghai, China

More of a hotel than a hostel. Recent renovations are really turning this place around. Amazing location and a great roof top cafe/bar! Well worth a return visit :-) Patrick, from Canada ~ 2nd Nov 2009

We had a great time at the hostel and the staff went out of their way to help us. I would certainly recommend the phoenix to others and also stay there again. Phillip, from Australia ~ 27th Oct 2009

great value for money - the best we stayed in by far! RHIANNON, from England ~ 21st Oct 2009

I've spent two weekends in The Phoenix and was really happy about the convenient location, the friendly and helpful staff and the rooftop terrace. Always a good spot to take a break and plan the next sight seeing trip. I would certainly go there again. Bettina, from Germany ~ 20th Oct 2009

Very good hostel specially for the China standards, very clean, very well located, close to a metro station. The only problem is that their staff does not speak english, some very poor and some don't speak it at all. Daniel, from Peru ~ 17th Oct 2009

The Phoenix Hostel was perfect for us being a family of 5. Excellent location close to the metro and central Shanghai. Rooftop cafe/bar with free computers and internet eccess was great. A pity there is no breakfast on offer. Otherwise a very good place to stay. Jodie, from Australia ~ 1st Oct 2009
