Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)

The location is superb. Metro and shops are all extremely near. However the space is actually quite small and a bit hard to find. Asking around will help you find the hostel easily. The room is quite small and best for travellers travelling light. I had some trouble with a large suitcase as there's not enough space to open it. Staffs were super super friendly and accomodating. They were willing to help and assist.

Hotel/hostel name is wrong it call weflow not Microflow!!!! I wasted over two hours looking for the hotel.

Clean, affordable, and well-located hostel in Shanghai. Staff is friendly, beds are comfortable, and it’s good for short stays. Great value for the price.

I had a great stay here! The location was ideal and the rooms were comfortable.

I'm sorry I only have pictures of the first room and area I moved from and not from the nicer one I was moved to. It just was not what I had expected. I arrived at a very messy and I would also say slightly unclean hostel. I had chosen to spend a bit extra in my budget to get something slightly private and booked a cubicle in a 6-person dorm with the description "bed in cosy room". The area in the pictures. It was definitely not cozy... There was a lot of stuff in the room hallway, which didn't do too much, but the carpet was stained in the room and I don't really know what was going on with the ceiling... But it didn't look too nice. I complained through trip.coms service because the person in the reception didn't speak English and I found it difficult to otherwise communicate. They were really nice and offered me to change to another room, which I accepted. My second room was VERY humid, but clean and way better. Although the shared bathroom area was still quite messy and slightly unclean, I imagine it's slightly difficult to keep it spotless with around 12 women sharing it tho. All in all it just definitely wasn't what I expected. The staff was nice, but didn't speak English at all. And the towel I was handed when checking in was a packaged disposable towel, which I then had to use for all three days I stayed there. People are right it is difficult to find. But it helped a lot for me to read some of the reviews describing how to find it. The picture of the building they have themselves in pictures is slightly misleading and leads you to a back alley where their back entrance is.

Best hostel in hostel I will definitely go back again.
