GGuest UserThis was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience!
I was in Shanghai for a concert, and hotels were too expensive, so I booked this hostel just to try it out.
The location is superb – right by the Changshu Road subway exit. There are many coffee shops downstairs, and lots of old mansions nearby, with plenty of great places to eat, explore, and do some city walking~
After checking in, a staff member showed me to my room and helped explain the locations of the washrooms, toilets, and showers. The room also came with a set of disposable toiletries. In the common areas, there was always a cleaning lady tidying up, and the restrooms were disinfected after each use, which was incredibly thoughtful!
It’s also very close to the Mercedes-Benz Arena, making it convenient to get anywhere!
I got back after the concert close to midnight, and there were many girls in the washroom area removing their makeup. I didn't have to worry about safety at all. The female and male washroom areas are far apart, and I didn't see any male guests during my stay, which is great for female travelers. After 11 PM, the hair dryers are put away, and the outlets are locked, so no noise disturbs anyone's rest.
The room was very clean. If someone with潔癖 (germophobia) thinks it's clean, then it's *really* clean. The bedding was very comfortable, and climbing to the top bunk was easy. The room wasn't big, but it was just enough for one person, which made me feel very secure.
Regarding soundproofing, if you're a very light sleeper, I wouldn't recommend it, as there can be some noise. However, I personally found it fine; I slept very comfortably. I only heard people opening and closing doors, but not sounds from the adjacent rooms.
The reception floor has facilities for picking up packages and food deliveries, as well as a common area to relax. It's on a high floor with a great view. There's also a self-service bar for drinks, which I didn't try this time, but I might next time~.
Regarding age restrictions, it seems they don't host very young children or very elderly people, but unlike some other hostels, there's no 35-year-old age limit, which is also fantastic!
This stay was so good that I almost didn't want to leave this little 'nest'~ I've always wanted to spend more days exploring Shanghai, and next time I visit, I'll definitely consider staying here again. I absolutely loved it!
Finally, ending with a checkout photo, because a clean and tidy space is key for a hotel stay~

Yyj6549Aside from the location, which is decent and close to the Pedestrian Street and the Bund, the room was too small to put anything down. The price was quite high, and there was no restaurant. The food was like a delivery service; there were no chopsticks or spoons, and no real dishes, yet it wasn't cheap. If you plan to stay here, definitely skip the breakfast. The service was okay, but the soundproofing was terrible. Noise from upstairs, downstairs, and neighbors on all sides was constant throughout the night, seriously disrupting my sleep.

EElianaCThis review is long overdue! I was in Shanghai for a business trip in early March, and it happened to be raining heavily then. The underfloor heating gave me the warmest, most comfortable night's sleep, and the duvet cover felt incredibly soft. It was my first time staying in a Shikumen building, and the courtyard was so unique and stylish. Both the courtyard and the room's interior design were absolutely beautiful. The unit I stayed in was located on West Yan'an Road, very close to Xintiandi and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. It was perfect – I could just stroll back after dinner in Bei Li. Check-in was also a breeze. I saw that the host manages several other unique B&Bs, so I'd love to try them out sometime!

YYasminvroonAbsolutely recommended! The location is probably the best you could possibly have!!! everything is within easy reach, making it perfect for exploring the city.
The hotel operates with self check-in, which was very smooth and convenient. The room was clean, comfortable, and the entire area was surprisingly quiet, allowing for a great night’s sleep despite being in such a central location.
One thing we really appreciated was that they even provided a nearby place where we could safely store our luggage for the entire day before our flight, which made our last day completely stress-free.
Great value, excellent location, peaceful surroundings, and very helpful service. We would definitely stay here again! 😊🏨✈️

GGuest UserI was staying in Shanghai for Disneyland and wanted a reasonably priced hotel that’s near a Metro. I found the Hanting Hotel on Google, but it says the nearby Pusan Road station is ‘permanently closed’ which isn’t true at all! The station is fully operational so Google is wrong.
As a traveler, use exit 2 of the Metro, because that’s the only one that has an elevator to the street. Nobody wants to schlep 2 suitcases up the stairs. Once you check in and stow the luggage, use exit 4 of the metro on your next trips to avoid crossing streets because Chinese drivers are *******.
The staff at the Hanting are really nice, but don’t speak English. So pre-load Google translate in advance and download Chinese Simplified language. Type your message to them in English, Google will translate it and the staff will reply on their phones using a translator. It works. And btw, Google does not work in the PRC which is why you have to do this ahead of time.
My room was advertised as non-smoking, but clearly a smoker used it before because the evil smell of cigarette smoke hit me the moment I walked in. Luckily the windows open in the room, so the smoke smell was mostly gone after 2 days except for the bathroom. So the air filter in the bathroom must be jammed with smoke particles, because it never went away even though housekeeping sprayed disinfectant. The rest of the room became acceptable.
The air conditioning unit was thankfully working, so I kept the room at a nice 21 degrees Celsius. Some hotels disable the A/C in the cooler seasons and force you to accept a centralized temp, so I was happy that Hanting allowed me to set the temperature of my own choice.
The room was generally nice (aside from the cigarette smell) but I was really puzzled about the lack of a dresser or a closet or anywhere to store clothing. There is also no clock in the room and no refrigerator or access to a microwave.
The amenities were standard. Wi-Fi (the staff has to help you set this up), hair dryer, US compatible outlets.
The best part: free breakfast! Westerners might be dissatisfied with just toast and OJ but Asians would love the breakfast spread of vegetables, sausages, fried rice, steamed buns, corn, steamed sweet potato, congee, tons of toppings and flavorings for congee.
The surprise was full access to a washing machine and dryer for FREE! The machine provides soap, so all you need to do is load and press the buttons. The staff is willing to help. So after a long day at Disneyland, just load up the washer, take a shower, go back down and use the dryer and everything is fresh for the next day at Disney.
I suspect that the hotel is not truly aimed at Western tourists. It’s a little off the beaten path, and it seems all of their guests are Asians. I am mostly satisfied, but damn, that cigarette smell.

GGuest UserThis hotel is only 300 meters from the US Consulate, right in the city center. Downstairs, there are plenty of food options, including noodles and a whole food street. The place is clean, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. They have a big LCD TV, and you can even control the curtains and toilet with Xiao Du (a smart assistant).

AAnxious but kindGreat stay! Very convenient location, affordable price. We are hopping around China, and choosing affordable hotels for the night's rest with convenient locations. Only one thing that can bother sensitive sleepers: the railway right next to the hotel. But as a sensitive sleeper, I found comfort in that slow train sound. Very helpful personnel, clean, nice, spacious rooms. 🫶🏼
