ذا فونيكس هوستل شانجهاي

Really nice helpful staff. Conditions of the room could be improved though (8 bed dorm's washroom was dirty and kind of gross). Hostel well located to get to Pudong airport by Bus Line 5 (board/disembark on Yan'an Rd between Guangxi and Yunnan Rds). The hostel was slightly awkward in the sense that there was a restaurant that was closed at times so you'd have to walk through the closed dining area to get to the elevator to get to your room. Otherwise, decent stay.

Beds were very hard and thin. People were great!

The staff were helpful and friendly. They lent us an umbrella, told us about the weather, tried to make conversation.

While the hostel is more like a hotel, this was a great choice for my first trip to Shanghai - firstly it was super close to the Metro (Dashijie Line 8) and secondly it was in the old city so quiet and walkable to plenty of local and authentic food. You can also easily walk to The People's Square, The Bund, East Nanjing Rd for shopping and over to the Former French Concession for some drinks (Xiantandi). Rooms were compact but super clean. In my double the toilet/shower was sort of open plan however still good. Reception staff are friendly and helpful. There are a few different activities each week (not daily though) and a rooftop bar/cafe to eat and drink. The place might not be the easiest place to meet others but if you just need a place to rest then I'd highly recommend. I have since returned there a second time and would happily return.

The location was good enough - a little tricky to find on google maps! The beds were really hard so if you like firm mattresses that’s fine - but I’m a comfy mattress kinda girl. The elevator “worked” but was super sketchy! The doors would try to close but couldn’t and would move a little before the doors closed. So that was rough when we needed to leave with all our luggage down 3 flights of stairs. The staff were helpful and spoke English really well which was great!
