MMangguorenMy friends and I chose this hostel for our trip to Shanghai, and we were really impressed. It's super clean, every corner is spotless, and there's no unpleasant smell in either the common areas or the dorms. The service is excellent, and the facilities are comprehensive – the beds are comfortable, there's plenty of storage, and the hot water in the washrooms is reliable. The location is fantastic too, close to the Bund and Nanjing Road, making it really convenient for sightseeing.

LLuanpaodeyouyuAfter a long day of traveling, checking in here instantly melted away my exhaustion. The entire place was meticulously cleaned, the bathroom was spotless and dry, and the bedding was soft. Each bunk had full privacy features, ensuring an undisturbed rest. The front desk staff, particularly 'Guoguo', was incredibly friendly, helpful, and reliable. The common lounge had a cozy, warm glow, and I enjoyed chatting with fellow travelers from all over, sharing interesting stories and even exploring local spots together. The owners were genuinely thoughtful and generous, freely sharing tips on local delicacies and hidden gems. This wasn't just a one-night stay; it was a wonderfully gentle encounter on my journey. Both the value for money and the overall experience were perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend it to solo travelers.

GGuest UserI've stayed here for quite a while, and the staff are all diligent, responsible, and have excellent service attitudes, comparable to five-star service, with prompt responses. Some of the facilities are a bit old, but the sanitation is well-maintained; you wouldn't guess it's an old establishment. It's clear why it's been around for so long. Overall, it offers great value for money, and it's very convenient for business travel. If you need to take the subway, it's about an 8-10 minute walk.

TtonytravelsmondoI am grateful for Xiao Duan and Xiaolin for the help they’ve provided me!!
Great value hostel in a top location — a few honest tips for fellow travellers
The location is absolutely spot-on — right in the heart of things, couldn't ask for better. The staff were brilliant: genuinely helpful and welcoming. They gave me a disposable towel and tissues free of charge, which normally costs ¥3 — a small gesture, but a kind one that made a difference.
A few honest notes if you're coming from somewhere like Japan (as I was): manage your expectations on cleanliness. Japanese hostels spoil you — spotless rooms, no smells, the lot. China is different, and this place is no exception. The toilet had a bit of an odour, and the rooms could do with more regular ventilation. It's not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing.
On the plus side: free drinking water to fill your bottle, paid laundry on-site, and that unbeatable central location. The rooms themselves are decent enough nothing flash, but perfectly fine for the price.
Finding the place: Google Maps is patchy in China at best. I'd strongly recommend downloading Baidu Maps or Amap (高德地图) before you arrive — they're far more reliable here. If you do use Google Maps, cross-reference the address with the Chinese name 登巴客栈 (Dengba Hostel) to avoid ending up on the wrong side of town.
Overall, a solid 4-star stay — perhaps I'm slightly biased coming straight from Japan, but for the price and location, it's a sound choice.

YYizongshaoThe 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.
