Pengpai Art Youth Hostel Reviews

Near Shanghai railway station. Easy checkin. Room gets cleaned everyday. Washing machine and dryer available.

This place is ok if you travel on a very adjusted budget. Otherwise; wouldn’t recommend it. The place don’t feel clean. People smoke inside the place and all the hotel smells like cigarettes even the smoke free rooms. The place lacks maintenance and management. Location is not good for tourism.

Nice location with a lot of restaurant and market nearby. 15 min walk from the subway or the Shanghai Railway Station. Room was dirty with handkerchiefs below the bed and dust everywhere. But it's one of the most cheapest place of the town so it's okay

One of the worst The minute I walked in, it smelled terrible. The lady at the counter assigned me into the room packed with men who seemed to have lived there for ages. They placed the clothes everywhere, threw trash in the bin uncovered, etc. the bathroom smelled like it hasn’t been cleaned for months. I booked for four nights but turned out I stayed on my first night, and cancelled the rest. Terrible! Would not recommend this. Pay more money and get something worth it! They should have been more attention-oriented and allocated the guests : long-term stays and temporary tourists, there’s a big difference in lifestyle between the two groups of people!

The service was really good, the bed is clean the roommates were so friendly and the price is amazing I recommend it

Amazing people

Cool place, it was nice to stay there for a night and the staff was very welcoming

I did not expect high because the price was really low. It served it's purpose - sleep and shower

They haven’t even a hot water in shower. It’s look not so clean, it wasn’t pleasant to stay there. So shabby. But for 1 night- it’s acceptable. The location: so far from city centre ofc, but if you use a subway- it will be okay. I was surprised, that front desk almost don’t speak English, so it was quite difficult to understand each other. So I don’t recommend it to you for long period of time.

Very nice… all clean

It was an interesting experience to sleep in a room with 5 other Chinese women, and although you basically just pay for the bed it has curtains and charging plugs, so you can relax without too much interaction as well.

The staff did their job without any problems, but their english is not good so you will need a translator app. the common areas seemed really clean and seemed to have nice amenities, but I didnt use them at all, so I can't say for sure. The cleanliness of the room depends a lot on your roommates, as many chinese people live there longterm, but in itself the rooms where pretty nice. I am not sure though if they always change the sheets, as they were a mess when I arrived, but I didn't spot any stains or dirt. The staff also let me leave my luggage on check out day untill 6pm, which was really convenient for me. the location is pretty good, only a medium long walk to two different metro stations and most major tourist attractions reachable in 30-45 minutes by metro or bike. Its not perfect, but good enough for the cheap price, I would come again.

Great place to check in from the shanghai railway station and easy access to all the scenic spots in shanghai.

The staff had never seen a foreign passport before, which is always a funny check in experience hahah. It is quite remotely located but the hostel itself is nice, the rooms are clean and the amenities are good
