This bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have laid on. The bed felt like a box spring (wood and metal) WITHOUT the mattress. I didn't sleep a wink. I booked four nights, but stayed only one. I booked a private room believing my bed would be comfortable. Usually my experience at hostels is to book the private room over the dormitory because the beds are more comfortable. I don't know how the beds are in the dorm, but the bed in my private room was horrible. To make things worse, I wasted the entire next day because when I found a different hotel, I was so exhausted from lack of sleep, I spent the rest of the day sleeping, instead of exploring China. I have stayed in $10 a night hostels that had better beds than this hostel. Another negative was that when the line got backed up at the front desk, the other employees just sat around in another room instead of helping clear the line. Also, the hostel was supposed to be in a good area close to many things. I was on the riverfront like advertised, but there was nothing open around the hostel at night (no nightlife). The Bund was about a 15-20 min walk, but I did not feel safe walking to the Bund (at night) from my hostel. Positives -strong Wifi signal, hot water, and reception was friendly and did speak English.
