I had a wonderful stay at Hi Cozy Hostel! The rooms were clean and well designed, creating a very cozy environment. The atmosphere of the hostel was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing and meeting new people. But what truly made my stay unforgettable, though, was meeting Liz. I feel incredibly lucky to have met her. She was so kind and helpful throughout my stay. Liz made my experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

This was a 2 night stopover for us and it was perfect. Being out of the tourist area meant we had a quiet place to go to home to but so easy to access everything on the excellent Metro system. The room was fabulous: spacious, super big comfy bed, excellent shower and very clean. I would highly recommend staying here while visiting Shanghai. We also had fabulous service from Mr Johnson, who made it his personal mission to make sure we were and had everything we needed.

The location is great, just need a bit time to find the place for the first time. There are few shopping mall nearby within walking distance 5 minutes. The building out looking is a bit old, but the inside is great and Morden. It is actually a local residential building, therefore do not expect for a reception.

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
