Tonight, we are all roses in the tumultuous night…
"I was traveling to Shanghai alone and struggling to pick a hotel. Since I was by myself, I considered a youth hostel, and unexpectedly stumbled upon a recommendation for this one on Xiaohongshu. The environment looked great, and it was an all-female hostel, so I booked it right away! When I arrived, it was exactly as I imagined – an old Shanghai, antique charm, which I never expected to find for such a reasonable price.
The location is fantastic. Hanzhong Road station connects several metro lines, and I didn't even realize how convenient the transportation was when I booked it (?). I went from Pudong Airport to the Oriental Pearl Tower and then straight to the hostel.
After checking in, I spent most of my time visiting museums. The Natural History Museum, which I wanted to see, is just one stop away. Then, with one transfer, I could reach Lujiazui, where most of the attractions are. I didn't have any transportation hassles at all.
It’s super close to the subway station – just cross one zebra crossing and you're there. It only takes about thirty minutes to get to Lujiazui. The food options nearby are decent too; there's a Lawson convenience store opposite where I grabbed breakfast.
The all-female environment made me feel very safe. The front desk staff were exceptionally nice. I checked in at 5 PM, and the police came to register my details and call my guardian, which shows how legitimate and well-regulated the place is!
The environment is also very clean. There are individual toilets and hostel showers. I stayed for a short period, but it seems perfectly suitable for longer stays as well. Downstairs, there's a designated area for food delivery, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a sign saying delivery riders don't go upstairs as soon as I arrived!
The front desk even offers complimentary water, which is a thoughtful touch. My roommates were also very quiet; everyone kept the noise down, so I had a great night's sleep on the first night and enjoyed my sightseeing the next day (P.S. the Oriental Pearl Tower on the first day and the butterflies at the Natural History Museum on the second).
If you stay here, you absolutely must visit the Natural History Museum, which is just one stop away – it's incredibly good value for money!"
