Hi Inn Shanghai Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai

The hostel was mediocre at its best. The staff spoke some english, in contrary to most kochinese people we've encountred. The hostel was located close to the city center, however not in the best neighbourhood. Although the metro line was relatively close, you had to walk through a maze of narrow streets to get to it. If if wasn't for my boyfriend I wouldn't dare to walk there after dawn. Despite having a private room with bathroom, it was neither private nor convenient. The bathroom had glass door (!), the tiles were mouldy and we saw some cockroaches, which was not what we expected. The AC barely functioned in the common areas as well as in our room. As we left for the airport we asked at the reception desk to call us a taxi to railway station so we could take Maglev. We were told that Maglev was not operating on the day ('broken'), so we had to take the taxi directly to the airport. On our way we saw the Maglev operating just fine. We won't be back.
