Shanghai Hidden Garden International Youth Hostel

Pudong, Shanghai

Conveniently located in Lujiazui area, Shanghai Hidden Garden International Youth Hostel features a creatively designed sun terrace, where a lot of events can be hold. Free WiFi is provided throughout the entire property. Free private parking is also possible. Century Avenue Station (Metro line 2, 4, 6, 9) is only a 7-minute drive away. My favorite things are the tables, chairs, and plants in the yard, as well as warm lighting tones. Every night, scattered friends gather to chat, and the living environment is also very comfortable. If I have the opportunity to come here again next time, I will continue to choose this hotel.

The accommodation offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and organising tours for guests. Location was great(in the city centre). Staff was very friendly . Bathroom was nicely organised, very clean and well-planned in terms of noise, and lobby was pretty comfy to sit in in the evening. I stayed in the 4-bed room, and it really exceeded my expectations - it was basically a capsule hotel rather than a dorm room. Pretty good isolation, small shade completely blocking any light, and each capsule has own electric socket, lamp and a small locked storage space.
