Dayin International Youth Hostel -Tianzifang & Xintiandi

9.6/10
Excellent

The environment here is great, really pleasant and fragrant. It's also very quiet at night, not noisy at all – I even worried my own turning over might disturb others, haha. Although the bathrooms are shared, they're kept very clean, and the other guests are generally very considerate. The lobby has a nice atmosphere with many people working, which feels harmonious. The transportation is also very convenient. The staff at the front desk, both the gentlemen and ladies, have excellent service attitudes. They even upgraded my room for free! As soon as I saw the new room, I immediately extended my stay. Highly recommend!

Yujian hostel(The Bund Nanjing Road Branch)

Arrived late at night near the Bund, completely exhausted and dragging my luggage, but the 24-hour front desk still greeted me kindly. When checking in, they thoughtfully reminded me about the locker and laundry room locations. The hallways were clean and odorless, and the bed was soft and warm. The cleaning staff tidied the restrooms multiple times a day, and there was 24-hour hot water available on demand. In my free time, I enjoyed chatting about travel stories in the common area, and the hosts were genuinely engaging. It's an affordable stay, yet full of thoughtful touches – a stable and healing little corner even when you're far from home.

Demba Inn (Shanghai Xintiandi Yuyuan Garden The bund store )

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)

Good

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

This is a very cozy hostel, and its close proximity to the subway station makes getting around super convenient. The owner is really enthusiastic and the auntie keeps the place spotlessly clean. The bunk beds have little curtains, which is great for privacy. Even though the room isn't huge, the air conditioning works well and there's plenty of hot water. Overall, it's a great place!

Iforest Hostel (Jing'an Temple Metro Station)

I'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.

This hotel is absolutely, incredibly amazing!!! The staff are so kind and went out of their way to help me. Since I'm a foreigner, I couldn't do laundry or go shopping, but the staff helped me with those tasks and we even had a nice chat. Thanks to everyone, my memories of Shanghai turned into happy ones. I highly recommend this hotel!

Except for the smaller room, the air conditioning, bathroom, and services are all very good. The main reason is that the price is affordable. There are not many cheap places like this in Shanghai.

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.
