"Hele lieve mensen, alleen is dit geen hostel maar een plek waar Chinezen op een kluitje wonen op zoek naar een baan. Niemand spreekt Engels. Het is zeker een manier om te ontdekken hoe het merendeel van de Chinezen in Shanghai leven. Maar ik ben blij dat ik een andere plek heb gevonden, wat zeker niet makkelijk was zonder internet of toegang tot Googlemaps."

"It isn’t more than advertised, you get what you pay for. The service level was good, very attentive. Close quarters, but kept tidy and clean. I was on a quick 18hr stay and really Conley came here for a quick nap and shower. If you’re intending to stay for a longer time, it may not be the best choice in terms of comfort."
