"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."

"Advertised as a private room but was actually a dorm (same story reported by other travelers). Sheets instead of curtains. Told off for talking at 11pm. Noisy repairs underway from 7am. Floors never swept, tables sticky. Gave the property 3 days notice I would be leaving early but they still refused even a partial refund for the remaining nights, leaving me hundreds of dollars out of pocket. Absolute money grubbing. Stay away."

LiveFortuna Hotel

LiveFortuna Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Room was good size as was bathroom, main asset of hotel is definitely the infinity pool with amazing views! Breakfast selection is huge, but dinner at the restaurant is hidden gem and incredible! Staff are super helpful and friendly. Only slight downside is closet underground station is a 15/20min walk, after long day of sightseeing it was a killer 😆."
