Hostels in Shanghai, China

I recently stayed at Dengba Inn (Kangxin Road Changshuo Technology Store) and had an amazing experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff, especially 小绿, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. 小绿 went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and had everything I needed. Whether it was providing local recommendations or assisting with check-in, their friendliness made my stay memorable. The cleanliness of the hostel was impressive. The common areas, bathrooms, and my room were all spotless. It’s clear that the staff take pride in maintaining a clean environment, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I felt completely at ease knowing that everything was well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend Dengba Inn for anyone looking for a friendly, clean, and welcoming place to stay. I’ll definitely be back on my next visit!

This is a wonderful place! There’s a piano, a large screen TV for you to do karaoke. It is ALWAYS clean. The showers are nice. There’s shampoo, conditioner etc. in the shower. The washing machine and dryer are brand new, with washing liquid provided. The towel provided is fluffy and lovely. The whole place is so opulently decorated! There’s a lift, so you don’t need to carry your luggage up any stairs. There’s water and tea provided 24/7. The bed is comfortable, lovely white sheets and fluffy duvet. The toilet seats are heated! The rooms are lovely and large. Plenty of room to open your suitcase up fully. Personal Charging ports in your bed area + a personal lockable safe in your bed area too. Across the road from the metro, so super easy to get around! Great location. Lots of places to eat close by, and mini-marts for fruit and veges etc. highly recommend!!! Clean, safe, big, lovely. I was booked for three nights and extended it to 10 nights! I felt so safe as a solo female traveller. So glad I chose to stay!

😇🙏🏻🇹🇭 I am a tourist from Thailand and I am very satisfied with my stay here. The room is clean and comfortable, with air conditioning, washing machine (and laundry beads), and a place to hang clothes on the top floor. The bathroom is also clean, with a hair dryer and water heater. Overall, I am very satisfied and recommend all Thai friends to stay here. Affordable price, close to Metro Line 14, very convenient to travel!

There are too many water stains on the washbasin and no one cleans them. The bathroom smells particularly bad, and there are people smoking. There are too few hooks in the washroom and it is recommended to install more. The overall environment and facilities are good, but the boss does not pay attention to hygiene and needs to strengthen management.

I stayed at the Dajin Youth Hostel for 1 month during my language exchange in Shanghai. Normally, staying at a hostel for that long wouldn’t be possible for me—at some point, you just need a bit more comfort. That’s also why I didn’t pre-book everything in advance. Nevertheless, I ended up staying a full month and never once felt like I was missing out on much luxury. The rooms and the bathroom were quite nice and cleaned several times a day. I also had normal roommates—no weirdos at all. What made the stay really special was the people. Everyone I met there was super friendly. During my month-long stay, I never felt alone. Whenever I felt like socializing, I just went to the lobby, and within 5 minutes I’d be chatting with five new people. If you ever need some quiet time, there’s a really nice working area on the third floor—perfect for getting things done or just having a bit of ”me time.” The hostel’s infrastructure was also great. They have a clean, well-equipped gym (I mean its a free gym in a hostel), working zones on both the 3rd and 2th floors, a makeup room, a call room, and a free laundry room with plenty of space to hang your clothes. And of course, the lobby has a great bar with every kind of beer you can imagine. The staff were amazing—young adults who are always ready to help and also just super chill to talk to. Big shoutout to Jing, Ze, Zhu, and Niu! Hope I’ll see you again when I come back. Thanks for the pleasant stay!

The location is very convenient, it’s not far from Hongqiao airport and close to the railway station, and you can get everywhere in downtown very fast. The room was very comfortable and very quiet, the hotel looks new and well maintained, it’s very clean. They provide good Chinese tea in the room, and a lot of other things, there is a coffee station on the lobby, self laundry and everything you need. The personnel is very helpful, I think, all of the workers or most of them speak English very well. I appreciate to ms Wu Qiu and Mr Tang for warm welcoming, I enjoyed my stay, thank you!

I stayed there for 3 nights . The location issss so lovely i loved it but the thing is as a foreigner i discovered that chinese girls are not that clean so the room was sooo messy that they made me forget many things. And i ignored a review but it turned to be right, A man said that long stay people should be together cause in my room there was a girl i guess she is there for more than one month cause she has a looot of things and she is so messy so i guess yes people who stays for a long time should be pulled away together. But anyways the staff was good , people there are nice but they need to learn English to communicate more and more with foreigners. Thanks

Nice location with a lot of restaurant and market nearby. 15 min walk from the subway or the Shanghai Railway Station. Room was dirty with handkerchiefs below the bed and dust everywhere. But it's one of the most cheapest place of the town so it's okay

Can be a good option, the localisation is good for the price. Plus : nice staff, common area is very nice Cons: I was in a room for 4 we had a bathroom for us, the door was a lightly smoked glass with a big gap = no shower or going to the toilet in peace And the room it was not really clean

This youth hostel is great! The location is super convenient. There is a subway station (about 10 minutes walk) and a bus station (about 5 minutes walk) right outside. It is very close to attractions or commercial areas. The hostel environment is clean and tidy, the decoration style is warm and modern, the public areas are spacious and comfortable, the beds are also clean, and it is very reassuring to live there. Shampoo, shower gel, toilet paper, and mineral water are also free. The cost performance is very high. The staff is very enthusiastic. Miss Xu and handsome Xiao Yang patiently answer questions from check-in to check-out, and will recommend local delicious and fun places, making people feel as warm as going home. The cleaning aunt is also very enthusiastic. I can't do it alone 😂. Overall, the cost performance is super high, and it is highly recommended to backpackers and friends traveling alone! I will choose here next time!
