Pengpai Art Youth Hostel Reviews

One of the worst The minute I walked in, it smelled terrible. The lady at the counter assigned me into the room packed with men who seemed to have lived there for ages. They placed the clothes everywhere, threw trash in the bin uncovered, etc. the bathroom smelled like it hasn’t been cleaned for months. I booked for four nights but turned out I stayed on my first night, and cancelled the rest. Terrible! Would not recommend this. Pay more money and get something worth it! They should have been more attention-oriented and allocated the guests : long-term stays and temporary tourists, there’s a big difference in lifestyle between the two groups of people!

Amazing people

I did not expect high because the price was really low. It served it's purpose - sleep and shower

They haven’t even a hot water in shower. It’s look not so clean, it wasn’t pleasant to stay there. So shabby. But for 1 night- it’s acceptable. The location: so far from city centre ofc, but if you use a subway- it will be okay. I was surprised, that front desk almost don’t speak English, so it was quite difficult to understand each other. So I don’t recommend it to you for long period of time.

Very nice… all clean

It was an interesting experience to sleep in a room with 5 other Chinese women, and although you basically just pay for the bed it has curtains and charging plugs, so you can relax without too much interaction as well.

The staff did their job without any problems, but their english is not good so you will need a translator app. the common areas seemed really clean and seemed to have nice amenities, but I didnt use them at all, so I can't say for sure. The cleanliness of the room depends a lot on your roommates, as many chinese people live there longterm, but in itself the rooms where pretty nice. I am not sure though if they always change the sheets, as they were a mess when I arrived, but I didn't spot any stains or dirt. The staff also let me leave my luggage on check out day untill 6pm, which was really convenient for me. the location is pretty good, only a medium long walk to two different metro stations and most major tourist attractions reachable in 30-45 minutes by metro or bike. Its not perfect, but good enough for the cheap price, I would come again.

Great place to check in from the shanghai railway station and easy access to all the scenic spots in shanghai.

The staff had never seen a foreign passport before, which is always a funny check in experience hahah. It is quite remotely located but the hostel itself is nice, the rooms are clean and the amenities are good

The room is small as compared to what it looks like . Although service is good

I booked for one night and preferred to walk through the city all night instead of staying there and breathing that smelly air. Do yourself a favor, pay a bit more and go somewhere else. It's not worth it. I don't know if I would have been the same person if I actually slept there. Also they didn't want to refund. It doesn't look AT ALL like in the pictures.

Very dirty room. And the person at the front desk wasnt even respectful or polite with me.

It’s alright for its price. Near the subway and not far from the city center.

Air conditioning not working
