Dayin International Youth Hostel -Tianzifang & Xintiandi

9.6/10
Excellent
Posted onJul 18, 2026|Bed In 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room
CNGuest User
The entire floor is cleaned frequently, with no dust accumulation even in the stairwells and corners. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation and good ventilation, so there are no odors. Hot water is available 24/7. Both Xiao Jing and Xiao Nuo provided excellent service. They were always quick to respond via WeChat whenever I had a small issue during my travels, and immediately provided small items like paper, pens, and packing bags when I needed them. Their service was thoughtful and attentive.

Posted onJul 30, 2026|Bed in Cloud Space Female Quadruple Room (One Bedplace) (Female Only)
CNGuest User
The room was very clean and had a private bathroom, which was very convenient for showering. The auntie (housekeeper) was also very diligent with cleaning. The common areas were also very clean and quiet. The location was easy to find, the service attitude was good, and it's very close to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and The Bund. I would definitely stay here again.

Demba Inn (Shanghai Xintiandi Yuyuan Garden The bund store )

Very Good
Posted onJun 18, 2026

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.

Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)

9.1/10
Good
Posted onJun 4, 2026

I specifically chose this hostel to experience the old Shikumen lane houses. It's tucked away deep in a bustling alley, and you have to navigate through winding old streets and traditional iron gates to get in. Stepping inside, you're immediately immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of old Shanghai, a delightful surprise for its tranquil location amidst the hustle and bustle. The renovated old house retains its vintage wooden windows and old floor tiles, and the courtyard is filled with greenery. I woke up to the aroma of breakfast stalls from the lane each morning, and in the evenings, I enjoyed the breeze in the courtyard, fully experiencing local life. The beds come with blackout curtains, individual reading lights, and charging ports. Storage lockers are complete, and the bedding is changed daily, fresh and odorless. The bathrooms are cleaned in sections, with 24-hour hot water. The public living area is spacious, with bookshelves, board games, a microwave, and a self-service washing machine – full of thoughtful details. The owner and staff are warm and genuine, proactively sharing local hidden gems for food and off-the-beaten-path routes, helping me avoid tourist traps. Shopping districts and the subway are within walking distance, and there are old-school pastry shops all around. The value for money is absolutely amazing. It's my top choice for solo travelers and students. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai!

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

8.8/10
Posted onMay 3, 2026
Guest User
Let's start with the positives. The single room was quite good; though small, it was clean, and the bedding had no stains. The air conditioning worked great. For a solo traveler looking to save some money, it offers excellent value. The shared bathroom was reasonably clean, with all the essentials at the sink. Disposable toiletries were readily available upon request from the front desk, which was convenient. Now for the negatives. It was a bit noisy. Perhaps I'm a light sleeper, but the sounds of people walking in the hallway really kept me awake. Also, the door was translucent, and the green light from the safety exit sign in the hallway shone into the room all night, making it even harder to fall asleep. Additionally, eating is not allowed in the room and requires going to the common area (though this is more of an inconvenience than a true drawback).

Iforest Hostel (Jing'an Temple Metro Station)

8.7/10
Posted onMay 27, 2026
Guest User
The design of this small villa is quite unique, and the front desk lady was very enthusiastic and helped me with my luggage. The common area is quite spacious, and after chatting with a few people, I found that most of them were young women working in the area. My favorite spot was the third-floor terrace. I don't know what kind of flowers they were, but they smelled wonderful. Sitting there having a meal with the breeze blowing was so pleasant. This time I was traveling solo and stayed in a dorm bed. I asked the front desk and they mentioned they also have queen and twin rooms. Next time I come with friends, we can stay here! 🥹

Shanghai Yijia Inn

8.0/10

CNYizongshao
The place was very clean, and the facilities seemed to have been renovated and were quite good. However, the hairdryer kept overheating. And the soundproofing was absolutely terrible; I could hear every footstep outside, which was a bit scary for someone living alone. It's a bit far from the subway station, but it's not too bad if you can ride a bike.

Booked this hotel last minute, cause my favorite hotel is closing down business this month and i wanted something nearer cause I’m well versed with the surrounding areas, 1: the first red flag is the reception, mail and deliveries are all piled up and falling off shelves, it’s so dirty and humid, it looks like a hoarder’s poach, they’re no waiting chairs, so you’ll stand while they process the guests that came before you until it’s your turn !! The receptionists are very nice and helpful . 2; no room housekeeping ( you’ll have to ask for someone to come take the rubbish and give you towels or change your bedding. 3: THE FILTH!!! The filth is on level 1000/100 the grime made it hard for me to shower with my eyes open, I’m not sure if the place has a manager and if they care about the the wellbeing of the clients , because from what i saw, the cleaners don’t even bother, the floor had food stains from i think when they just opened, the sink🤮 the bathroom ( that one corner gave me the hibbigibeis) the toilet seat was broken , everything in the bathroom was broken and dirty , then my charger fell in the space which is between the bathroom glass and the bed, got down to retrieve it and i decided it was best to just a get a new charger instead. The place if cleaned and cared for would be an amazing hotel apartment, it has great amenities , a washing machine a fridge and a drying rack if you upgrade to a bigger room, a kitchenette that would be great if you are interested in cooking and staying longer and it’ has an Aldi downstairs, a gym and lots of other great places surrounding it . I really hope the owners would read this and take it into consideration and carry out serious supervision or else their property will lose value, The hygiene of the hotel does not only ensure the health and wellness of the visitors who sleep in those walls but also keeps the property value up. Dirt And filth only brings it down and puts the health of others at risk . I really hope they change standards.
