GGuest UserMy stay at Dengba Inn was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment I arrived, I felt more like a welcomed guest in someone’s home than just a traveler passing through. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and every corner of the inn carries a charm that makes you feel at ease.
The staff were incredibly kind, always going the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. They didn’t just provide service—they offered genuine care, smiles, and conversations that made my stay truly memorable.
The rooms were cozy and clean, with thoughtful touches that made me feel right at home. Beyond that, Dengba Inn gave me something more valuable than comfort—it gave me a sense of belonging.
If you are looking for not just a place to stay, but a place to connect, rest, and create lasting memories, Dengba Inn is the perfect choice. I will forever cherish the warmth I found here, and I can’t wait to return.

KKW13This is an amazing hostel in a fantastic area of Shanghai located near 2 subway lines, several malls and many buses and walking distance to Shanghai tower/ Oriental pearl tower!
A little hard to find on the 2nd floor inside the shopping center at 4am but when called they were able to give directions. (Called Dengba Inn on Apple Maps)
Everyone is really friendly here and the stay is great!
The bed is a typical cabin bed but you get an outlet, fresh bedding (put on yourself) and a little table and light. The bed is comfy, the room has a shower and toilet separate from the sink which is useful and great when sharing with other people - though can be a little messy! (You get your own locker - safe with only keycard access but people leave things everywhere! Not the places fault)
Couldn’t recommend this place enough and if I go back would definitely stay here again!

PPato LuI stayed for one night at Dengba Inn and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The location is excellent—just a few meters from the Zhenxin New Village subway station, which made it very easy to find and convenient for getting around Shanghai.
The hostel has a spacious common area that’s clean, well-lit, and perfect for relaxing or socializing with other travelers. It gave the place a cozy, welcoming vibe.
My room was also larger than expected for a 6-person dorm, with plenty of space to move around and store luggage. The bed was soft and comfortable, and although I had to make the bed myself (which was a bit unusual), the bedding was clean and neatly stored inside the locker along with ample space for my belongings. Once set up, it felt very homey and private.
Bathrooms and shared facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the whole place had a relaxed, backpacker-friendly atmosphere. Staff were polite and helpful, although I didn’t need much assistance during my short stay.
For budget-conscious travelers or those looking for an easy, comfortable place to stay near public transport, I’d highly recommend Dengba Inn. It offers great value for money, with clean rooms, a fantastic location, and a chill vibe that makes it easy to feel at home—even if just for a night.

GGuest UserThe price is cheap and the expectations are not high, but I didn't expect the king-size room to be in such an environment. The sound insulation is very poor, and the footsteps outside can be clearly heard. At more than seven in the morning, the construction workers were communicating outside, and I was woken up and couldn't sleep.
The multi-person berth is on the first floor outside, and it won't pass here, which may be better than this.
The door of the king-size room is right under these scaffoldings, and I have been considering it carefully recently.
8.8/10
KKatie_travellingThis property is conveniently located very close to Shanghai city centre, just 20-30 minutes walk to Jin'an Temple.
The place is pretty clean, common area is spacious and very nice, it's pretty comfortable there to read or work on your laptop, or just chit chat with friends.
There's also quite a lot of personal space in dormitory rooms: each bed has curtains, individual light, electric socket and shelves, also a lot of hooks for clothes, and a locker.
Suggestion: it'd be nice if they also provide bath towels

GGuest UserI had the small single room, which was very nice as a solo traveller - clean and simple. The bathroom's cleanliness was however quite questionable. The toilets were not cleaned regularly enough (overflowing trash cans and horrible odors at times), the sinks had not been thoroughly cleaned for a long time. Long-term residents leave their stuff everywhere and no one cleans up after them.
Apart from that, the staff was always nice, there are shared areas for hanging out, washing machine, water dispenser, and the option to buy water/ soft drinks at the reception and a vending machine downstairs. Toothbrush, slippers and disposable towel were provided.

QQuang MinhHostel is alright. Quite centrally located. Has a large common area and a rooftop where you can hang out. Can meet people in the lobby but there won't be that many international travelers. Staff doesn't speak English but they generally know what to do. Only hot water dispenser. Hard beds, but I slept well on them. Cleanliness is okay for a Chinese hostel but not on par with international standards. Common area will be covered in trash but you are likely used to that from other places here already. I think this place is okay but I also stepwise lowered by expectations in this country, in particular to what male neighbors are emitting in terms of noise, dirt and cigarette smoke.

MM306602****The price is very good in the central area of Shanghai... The room is clean and tidy, with refrigerator, kitchen and washing machine. The young manager is very easy to get along with. When I moved to another room that day, I couldn't move everything by myself, so the manager helped me move... I will stay here every time I come to Shanghai...

GGuest UserGreat location right by the metro. The entrance was a bit hard to find but it is right to the right of the police station. The hostel overall didn’t seem super clean but fine, my room however had a bit of a smell, maybe because of someone eating something but I’m not sure. The bed cubicle was pretty clean and the light up mirror was a great feature. The mattress was pretty thin and hard but comfortable for me. For any western travelers, be aware that there are no regular toilets as with a lot of hostels in China. All in all it was a cheap and convenient stay for a few nights but it wasn’t a great experience.
