Hostels in Shanghai, China

The hostel was in the BEST location, just a 1 min walk to Nanjing Road. There were coffee shops and convenience stores next door so that also comes in handy. The staff were friendly but didn’t give much information when I checked in, just gave me my card and then left me to figure out everything else. The dorm room was nice (I stayed in a 4 bed female), there was enough space for luggage, good AC. The mattress is a little thin so could be uncomfortable at times. The bathrooms were relatively clean, a lot of the times there was wet tissue and hair in sinks which made it unpleasant, but usually around midday when everyone is out and it has been cleaned the bathrooms were fine. Laundry is ok, lots of washing machines but no dryer. You have to hang your clothes up in this room that is FULL of other clothes. I say all of this but the price for the stay in Shanghai is unbeatable.

Let me give an objective review of my experience: When I arrived on the street outside the hostel, I saw the name, but once inside, there were no signs indicating which floor the hostel was on. I had to check Trip.com to find out. There were some issues during check-in. The front desk staff seemed groggy, as if they hadn't slept well. I booked a 4-person dorm. Initially, I asked if the 6-8 person dorms also had no lower bunks. The front desk said the 6-person dorms still had lower bunks and asked if I wanted to switch, but couldn't refund the price difference. I suggested canceling my order and rebooking, but the front desk told me it was already confirmed and couldn't be refunded. But I hadn't even decided whether to switch, and you've already confirmed my check-in? Regardless, as a consumer, I have the right to choose. The front desk's handling was very unprofessional. During check-in, the first room card they gave me led to a room full of girls. I have to ask, if I got into a misunderstanding and faced public criticism because of this, would the establishment take responsibility? After that incident, I went back to the front desk. The second time they gave me a room card, the '2' in the last digit looked like a '1', causing me to try swiping into another door multiple times without success. I had to go back to the front desk to find out the last digit was indeed a '2'. It took quite a while to finally check in successfully. When I opened the door, I was stunned. I can confidently say this is the smallest room I've ever stayed in at any youth hostel. Forget about having space for luggage; there might not even be space for shoes. It seemed only one public toilet was usable, and it was a single stall. It could get very crowded. Although the only shower room worked fine, it had a somewhat unpleasant odor. I hope the establishment can improve the smell in the shower room. Other aspects were decent. There's a lounge area, vending machines, and a washer and dryer. I still recommend that the front desk staff who checked me in get some proper rest.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect, making it easy to explore everything around. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are truly incredible and made my stay even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Elisa and Sophia, who were exceptionally kind, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. This was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. I will definitely be coming back! 😊

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was a decent experience. The room was dry and comfortable, giving me a dorm-like feeling. However, perhaps due to it being a holiday, some people checked in very late. My room was near the communal washroom, and there was a lot of noise from people washing up late into the night, with loud and constant banging of doors. It's definitely not suitable for light sleepers. When I left, I noticed the washroom door on the first floor was much quieter when opening and closing. I wonder if there's an issue with the hinge on the second-floor washroom door. I hope the owner can get it fixed.

They provide a set of three bed linens (pillowcase, sheet, and duvet cover), and each new guest gets fresh ones, which a staff member will help you put on. There's a small, lockable locker that requires a card swipe to open, perfect for storing clothes. You can also store luggage in the space next to the bed or by the door. I didn't have much stuff, just one suitcase and a backpack. I put my toiletries on the side of the stairs, valuables like my tablet in the locker, and my used clothes and backpack on top of my suitcase.

I took quite a few photos, hoping to provide more reference for future guests. First, let me state my conclusion: I think this place is really good, it actually exceeded my expectations! My first impression upon entering was great – the decor is quite new, and the common areas are very stylish, with a microwave and water dispenser. I was here for a concert, and the owner even provided merchandise and an '応援スクリーン' (support screen). The beds are made of solid wood, very sturdy. When climbing up/down or turning over, there's no creaking or wobbling, unlike other hostels with thin wooden planks. Although my room didn't have a window, there were no strange odors at all. The bathroom and toilet are in the public washing area outside, which is also a good setup; if I came back late, I wouldn't worry about disturbing others when showering or washing up, nor would others disturb me. The bedding was also very clean. The whole place just felt very comfortable to stay in. Plus, it's very close to Hongkou Football Stadium – a quick bike ride away – and also close to Shanghai Railway Station. Highly recommend! 👍🏻

This accommodation is truly the best value for money at its price point. For just a hundred yuan, you get a surprisingly high-quality stay that far exceeds expectations. The room itself is thoughtfully equipped; the bedding is soft, skin-friendly, and perfectly fluffy, allowing you to shed travel fatigue and sleep soundly until morning. The room is private and quiet, with excellent soundproofing, so you don't have to worry about external noise – it feels safe even when traveling solo, with your personal space undisturbed. The public facilities are comprehensive and well-maintained. The lounge area, washrooms, and storage spaces are logically designed, making it convenient for daily stays or short breaks. The common areas are consistently clean. The front desk staff are warm and friendly. Check-in and check-out processes are quick and smooth, and they patiently answer questions and proactively help with travel inquiries or luggage storage, providing meticulous and thoughtful service. The location is convenient, with many supermarkets and restaurants nearby, and excellent transport links. Shopping, dining, or commuting are all easily accessible without long journeys. The overall environment is clean and tidy, creating a peaceful and comfortable living atmosphere without the cramped feeling often found in budget accommodations. For a hundred yuan, you get comfort, convenience, and attentive service all in one. It's perfectly suited for students, short business trips, or temporary stays. It's genuinely hard to find a comparable option at this price, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

My 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.

Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent! Environment: Very good Facilities: Good Hygiene: Decent Service: Wow, the experience exceeded my expectations! The room had great natural light, no strange odors, and even the corners were clean. The bedding was soft, and the bathroom had plenty of hot water. The front desk staff patiently explained the local attractions, and their service was really thoughtful. The location is close to the subway and tourist spots, making it super convenient for getting around. Highly recommend!

First off, the location is incredibly convenient. It's right by Madang Road metro station, and there are convenience stores and fruit shops nearby. The place is also very clean, and there's even a microwave to heat up food. It's a great choice for solo travelers.
