It was scary to go into the room, it was really small, the charger near the bed didn’t work. So think carefully whether to stay there or maybe to find a hotel or another accommodation. But the location was good.
Response from Property: Dear guests, hello! We are very honored that you choose to stay in our hotel. Through your comments, we are vaguely uneasy. We must not have done well enough, but please rest assured that we will work harder to strengthen the maintenance of facilities and equipment. To avoid abnormal equipment from being used normally. Because it is located near the Bund, in order to avoid destroying historical old buildings, the designer brother has tried his best to maximize the use of space, so that you can have a better experience! If you are not satisfied with the room during your stay, you can tell the staff partner so that you can provide better service. The hotel also has a forest king-size bed room, which will be more spacious. It is recommended that friends give priority to it. We believe that we will meet if we are destined to! Thank you again for your support and invite you to continue to stay at a forest hotel Shanghai Bund store~

When we only arrived, the room was very dirty. A woman came to clean it up only 2 hours after we checked in. It made our first impression really negative.
By the way, the main advantage of the hostel is its location. Right near the bund, it is convenient for travelers.
Response from Property: We are very sorry that you were not satisfied with your stay. When you checked in, the cleaning staff had not yet cleaned the room, but the bed had been cleaned by our staff. We are a little uneasy after reading your comments. We will definitely work harder, strengthen training, and improve our hygiene quality. We believe that we will meet again if we are destined to! Thank you again for your support and invite you to continue to stay at a forest youth hostel (Shanghai Bund Visa Center)~

The stay at Iforest Youth Hostel was wonderful and memorable. I talked with other guys there at the Study Room and came to know new things regarding China which I never knew before. The services from the reception was especially to be mentioned. Mr. TungTung was verg much helpful and helped me to find Halal Restaurants, Maszid and the Hotel while I lost my way to the Hotel. The East Nanjing Station of Shanghai Subway is very near to the Hostel.
One thing I need to mention here that the name is published as One Forest Youth Hostel although the name I saw on the signboard as Iforest Youth Hostel and due to this I got some trouble finding the hostel on the first day at Shanghai.
Hope to stay again here if I come to Shanghai, China again.
Response from Property: Thank you for staying at Yijian Forest (Bund Visa Center Branch)~ I am very happy that our service can satisfy you and look forward to seeing you again~ Refill~#Yijian Forest——Let your story begin.

I hope you will like it~ Shanghai is a non-smoking indoor area.

The hostel is located near the East Nanjing Road, The Bund. You can walk from East Nanjing Road station to the hostel within 10 mins. Perfect for the solo travelers. The staff is super friendly and tried to communicate in English by the Alipay app. Highly recommend!

I believe we will meet again if we are destined to do so! Thank you again for your support and invite you to continue to stay at a forest youth hostel (Shanghai Bund Visa Center)~

The hostel smells of smoke. It is small and dark. I won’t come again.
Response from Property: I'm very sorry that you were not satisfied with your stay this time. A Forest (Bund Visa Center) is located near the Bund. To avoid destroying the old historical buildings, the designer has tried his best to maximize the use of space, so that you can have a better experience! If you are not satisfied with the room during your stay, you can tell the staff to provide you with better service. The hotel also has a forest king-size bed room, which will be more spacious. It is recommended that you choose it first. You are staying in a bed room. In order to ensure that the bedding is changed for each guest, the three-piece set is set by the guest himself. If you need assistance from others, you can inform the front desk staff in time, and we will help you as soon as possible. The youth hostel is a large group. It is indeed necessary to consider the feelings of others in words and deeds. It is also an opportunity to improve one's own quality, but it is inevitable that some people may disturb others because of their personal living habits at some point. If you find smoking indoors, you can give us feedback and we will give a warning as soon as possible. We will do our best to create a comfortable accommodation environment for everyone. A Forest Youth Hostel (Shanghai Bund Visa Center) welcomes you to visit again and wish you a happy life!

Super convenient location but it’s the filthiest place I ever stayed. We arrived at 1.30pm, there was no one in the front desk, 30minutes later the lady appear because someone from the cleaning staff told her we where waiting. The front desk lady was talking on the phone with a friend the whole time she was doing our check in -obviously it took her 45minutes to so it because she was more interested in the conversation than in us
Would not recommend this place at all

VFS office is across the street which was perfect. Walking distance to most tourist sites. Will stay there again. Lebanese restaurant around the corner was amazing.

Perfect location close to Nanjing East Road and the Bund. 7-eleven supermarket and manner coffee just outside of the building. Metro in walking distance (Linie 2, which connects you to many highlights in Shanghai).
Room very cozy, everything was clean. Staff friendly.
If you plan a trip to Shanghai this hostels offers high value for money. The location is perfect to explore the city!

First of all this is the best location possible to stay in Shanghai, and for this price it’s honestly mind blowing. The staff speaks zero English, so don’t be shocked if they use an app to translate. My phone broke and they called someone to fix it in the hostel so I didn’t need to go anywhere. They also organise group games. It’s a great place to be, clean and friendly
Response from Property: 非常感謝親愛的對我們的認可,我們很是開心,親的認可是對我們最大的鼓勵,我相信有緣自會相見!再次感謝您的支持,邀請您繼續入住一間森林酒店上海外灘店~

The people at reception were very nice. The dorms could be a little better organised. It looks like people live in the dorms rather than travel.
