The butler at the homestay tonight was great, the service was excellent, and everything was fine except for the room being a bit old. It is also very close to the subway station.

Superb location. Few minutes walking distance to the Nanjing Road East St. and 10-15 min walk to either The Bund or People Square. Very friendly staff, very accommodating, and eager to help. Space is tight but manageable for a few days if you book the two bunk-bed room with private bathroom and windows. The room had clever storage solutions and plenty of sockets to plug in your devices. I loved my stay at the hostel. Would highly recommend it if you are on a budget and don't require a lot of amenities from a proper hotel. Great value for money!!

The apartment is very spacious with a wonderful view. It is well equipped, including a washing machine and plenty of closet space. There is a subway stop (Qufu Road) a couple of blocks away and many of the many attractions are at walking distance (20 to 40min away). There is very good coffee place in the next building. We had excellent communication with the host via WhatsApp. She always responded right away.

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
