Dayin International Youth Hostel -Tianzifang & Xintiandi

9.7/10
Excellent
Posted onOct 27, 2026|Bed In 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room (Female Only)
CNGuest User
Very clean, excellent service, and close to the subway station. They even helped with the luggage! My roommates were great, it was very quiet, and hot drinking water was available. The tissues provided were of good quality too. Absolutely fantastic, I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Shanghai!

JITING HOSTEL- Nanjing West Road Metro Station

9.3/10
Very Good
Posted onJun 23, 2026
CNGuest User
I moved from a 6-bed female dorm to a 4-bed female dorm, but to my surprise, the 4-bed dorm was actually a bit narrower than the 6-bed one. I didn't expect that. Honestly, I also found the common areas a bit cramped. There are only three showers in the female bathroom, but a plus compared to Hostel No. 1 is that the showers and toilets are separate. Also, their mattresses are thicker than at Hostel No. 1. I dropped something once and checked under the bed, and noticed they even have a pretty big dust mite repellent sachet, which was nice. I think their beds are a bit more comfortable and better to sleep on than at Hostel No. 1. The front desk service was decent too; they'd solve any issues promptly.

Demba Inn (Shanghai Xintiandi Yuyuan Garden The bund store )

Good

The location is great, very close to the subway station, making it convenient to get to The Bund and Nanjing Road. There are also plenty of dining options nearby. The hostel itself is quite clean; both the common areas and bathrooms are regularly tidied, which gives you peace of mind. The front desk staff are very friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. The hostel has a good atmosphere; you can sit and chat or relax in the lobby, which is perfect for solo travelers. The bunk beds have curtains, offering decent privacy, and there are sockets and a small light by the bed – everything you need is there. For this price in Shanghai, it's really excellent value for money. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

Weiliu Youth Hostel (Shanghai People's Square Jing'an Joy City Branch)

8.5/10
Posted onAug 29, 2026|Bed In 6-person Room (Females Only)
CNGuest User
The location is a big plus – it's very close to People's Square, making it super convenient to get around Shanghai's attractions by subway. For a city center location, the price-performance ratio was a pleasant surprise. I stayed in a female dorm with six beds. Each bunk had its own curtain, which provided excellent privacy, and there were lockable lockers for valuables. The bedding was changed promptly, and the air conditioning worked well. The public bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, with plenty of sinks. The female shower area was decorated very cutely, and even during peak hours, I didn't have to wait long. The resident cat was very gentle, and petting it during my downtime at the hotel was incredibly therapeutic. There's a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage is very convenient, and there's also a washing machine available.

Dengba Inn (Shanghai Flagship)

8.4/10
Posted onJul 28, 2026|Bed In Guestroom - 4-Person Occupancy (Males Only, Shared Bathroom) (Male Only)
Guest User
Having stayed at a few hostels, this one is pretty good. The location is decent; it's a bit of a walk from the subway station, but ordering food delivery and getting around is quite convenient. The overall space is large and well-equipped, divided into a common area, sleeping quarters, and a drying area. The shared bathrooms have showers and hairdryers, which is a great plus. The bunk beds offer a decent amount of space and come with a small pull-out table. The only downside was the mosquitoes, but the front desk provided insect repellent, and there was an electric mosquito repellent in the room. Many people eat their takeaways in the main common area, so be mindful of cleanliness if you're relaxing there. Unfortunately, I somehow lost my room key at the end and had to pay a 50 yuan deposit.

qingzhu·Duoke Lai Apartment (Wuning Road Subway Station Branch)

Cleanliness: well it is clean. Except for th Comfort room there is a yellowish on the side floor. When you open the door, you will see the snall kitchen and on its front the small comfort room. The bed is big and nice even the cabinets and table. There is no hair blower. The ref is not working. It was a cheapest and nice apartment hotel as it is like a small condo for a couple.

Duoyuan Youth Hostel (Shanghai Bund)

7.9/10
Posted onOct 20, 2026|Eight-female Room (Room Rate Calculated Per Bed)
CN➕sili
Shanghai Duoyuan Youth Hostel offers a great experience. The young man at the front desk was thoughtful and attentive, and transportation is very convenient. There is a shared kitchen where you can cook your own meals, which is extremely practical. The cleaning lady is exceptionally diligent and constantly cleaning; the public areas are kept spotless, creating a fresh, clean, and comfortable environment. It offers great value for money and is suitable for both short-term stays and stopovers. Highly recommended!

The interior facilities are quite complete, with a cooking area, range hood, and washing machine. It's suitable for long-term stays. The shower drainage isn't very smooth, but the cleanliness is acceptable.
