First Day Youth Hostel

- Great location in a safe & very convenience area - Only 3- 5 minutes walk to main Gangxia North subway station / Exit 7 - A 24 hrs minimart and some local restaurants nearby - Safe with main door code - Friendly staffs - One toilet & shower room - Small space for luggages - Towel provided

I feel like the hostel is not worth the cost (which was not that cheap). Stained duvet and mattress, rock hard bed (a near literal plank of wood), an incredibly messy room which can only mean it's not cleaned daily (I suspect the place is used by students as long term accommodation). Toilet/shower is also not good, the door didn't lock and sometimes not even close! And the only option for male is a squat toilet with no toilet paper (this is also where you shower). It would have been better to pay a little more for a hotel. On a Chinese map app I saw prices for the hostel half of what I paid here. The heating was turned on during the night and the room became a sauna (in February). Nobody to mention this to in the morning as there is no reception and no way to contact anybody via the app (I just get the AI chat). Beware that it is not easy to find: the location in the map is correct, the entrance is at the back of a building (with a car shop to the front). No sign, just have to hope you have the right entrance and go to the sixth floor. The full address here is under the 'local address' button, but only displays in Chinese. If you translate to English the information is lost. Copy the text in Chinese and past it on a separate translator app instead (but really it's 6th floor, Jialin Mansion, 2001 Shennan Road). Also once inside the rooms are labelled with Chinese characters so you'll have to compare with the text in Chinese sent by the property to find your room.

Good location in the center, pleasant living atmosphere, price-quality ratio is one of the best options in Shenzhen

A modern hostel in a very central area. Reasonably clean and well organized

The location was good, close to the station. There was a problem with the contact form and I didn't receive any advance notice. However, other guest helped me and the owner replied to me immediately on WeChat, and I was able to check in and stay.

Nice :)
