Cleanliness could be better. Loved the kind of people this hostel attracted, met my current best friend there while staying there in February. Shared toilets are pretty gross. Great location though, but a bit difficult to find as in the building there's no signs for this hostel outside.
A little hard to find since it is located on the 6th floor of a random building. I had a single room so had my own bathroom. Room was ok-sized, reasonably clean. Bathroom was small but also clean enough. Location is really good and just a few minutes walk to Nanjing Road. Generally, I'm not really a hostel person and don't use the common areas others usually appreciate. Nevertheless, staying there for two nights was ok for me. Next time, I'll rather pay for a hotel room though. The girls at reception were a bit too casual for my taste but were kind enough to order me a taxi to the airport.
Blue Mountain has several hostel properties in the Shanghai area, this review is for the one located near the Bund. The actual hostel is located on the 6th floor of a multistory building and there is no sign outside, so look for the building number. Getting here from Pudong airport is super easy - you can take the Maglev > Longyang Rd station > Nanjing Rd station and walk about 5 min, or just take the line 2 the whole way to Nanjing. Location is good-- close to Nanjing Rd and the Bund. The staff is very slow in checking visitors in and out - I stayed here twice for stopovers and always had a wait, even though there were multiple staff behind the desk. Staff spoke a bit of English but were not particularly warm or friendly, so definitely take the initiative to ask questions since no additional info beyond the basics will be offered. Facilities were decent, on par with other hostels I've stayed in. Dorms have lockers & you can borrow a lock for free. Mattresses are thin but sheets are clean and you remove them yourself when you leave (just try to ignore the stains on the mattress pad below...). They ran out of 6-bed dorm beds on my second stay and "upgraded" me to a small bunked twin room that I shared with another girl. This room had more amenities but was significantly smaller and was right by the loud showers. Bathrooms are clean and water pressure is good, but of course remember to bring shower shoes!! A bonus to this location is the nice patio. Overall a decent, cheap place to spend a night on a layover!
Looking for convenient price for rooms, hostel is more than relevant. Nice persons in lobby ready to help anytime, and very good organization of all necessary information for travel in Shanghai and as well as in other famous cities and places. Do not expect comfort and food, only good bar. Milan
I had a private room with my own bathroom so did not encounter some of the issues others had. The staff is very hospitable and the rooms are proper for what you pay, especially given the great location. Lots of great restaurants in the area, very close to the subway. For the price, this place is a no-brainer.
