Bakuangdai Vacations from NT$13,665

Had some problems checking in but the staff were super friendly, spoke english and was just reassuring through the stay. Only issue was the smoke smell around the halls for those in dorms but it goes away once in the capsule.

Absolutely loved this stay. Just a 10-minute walk to the Bund, with charming old houses along the way. The room was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Great water pressure in the shower. The laundry room on the 4th floor was a huge plus—wash and dry in one go. Nice gym for a quick morning workout, and the rooftop terrace has an amazing view of Lujiazui at night. Front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and even recommended some great local Shanghainese restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Property said there were three beds in the one room, but there was two beds in one room and then a separate bed in the room next door. The facilities were clean, modern and had great air conditioning. The location is a little out of the old city or shopping district or Bund, but we took a taxi to all very cheaply. There is also public transportation nearby.

This was an okay place to stay for a night before flying out of PVG, but it wasn't pleasant. My dorm room had no windows and was full of odds and ends (like old foot baths) that didn't seem to belong to anyone in the room. There was a strong odor of cigarette smoke in the men's bathroom and even in my dorm room--someone had clearly been smoking inside. Great location, though.

Although the restaurant is on an odd location within the hotel, the food selection is great.
