XXiaoximiaiyoujiThis hostel is just over a ten-minute walk from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, including a century-old establishment. The hostel staff are quick to resolve issues, and even though there are quite a few guests, the atmosphere is great and very quiet. My only wish is that the rooms had windows for ventilation, but overall, it's a good place.

AAnonymous UserVery close to the subway station, which makes getting around super convenient. There are also group activities in the common areas where you can play games together. The cleaning staff keeps everything spotless, and I even had my own private locker. The front desk service was also excellent, thumbs up! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

GGuest UserEvery time I visit Shanghai, I stay at this hotel. It offers excellent value for money, with well-equipped and clean facilities, and top-notch service. The location is also superb, making it convenient for shopping and dining. What truly stands out is the front desk service; they are incredibly helpful and friendly. I always enjoy chatting with them, and they really go the extra mile to make guests feel welcome and valued.

8.8/10

GGuest UserThe room was very clean, and the bunk beds in the dorm room had spacious and practical shelves with combination locks for storage. Most of the guests were considerate; it was generally quiet and peaceful at night. The restrooms and showers were separated by gender, and the disposable toilet seat covers provided a sense of security. The front desk staff was very kind, and they offered free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out (though you have to put your belongings in the storage room yourself, which made me a little worried about others potentially rummaging through them). There were also a cockatiel and a lovebird in a pet cage in the abandoned (?) cafe on the first floor. I wonder who's taking care of the little parrots 🥹 The only minor drawback was the cleanliness of the washbasin area. It clearly hadn't been cleaned regularly, with limescale, mold, and a lot of hair around the edges. Some guests also washed their dishes in the sink, leaving food residue, which was a bit unhygienic.

AAnonymous UserThis hotel offers excellent value for money. The entire process, from check-in to check-out, was incredibly smooth. The front desk staff were warm, efficient, and even proactively helped with our luggage, which was a thoughtful touch. The room was clean and tidy, thanks to the diligent housekeeping staff, and had a cozy feel with comfortable bedding, ensuring a very restful sleep. The hotel's location is also very convenient for getting around and dining. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit!

jiajiezhubianquanshijie Hotel controlI chose Dunba Hostel for my business trip to Shanghai, and its location is fantastic. You can walk to the Bund, and public transport is very convenient. The 8-bed male dorm with an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. The beds were clean and tidy, and the facilities were new and practical. The service was also very thoughtful. Overall, the experience far exceeded my expectations, and it offers great value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Shanghai for business.

GGuest UserFirst time in Shanghai, and this hostel is conveniently located in a building with easy elevator access. I stayed in a four-person dorm. The room was a bit small, but the natural light was decent, and having an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. My main gripe is getting into the top bunk; the ladder design makes it quite difficult to climb, you really need to brace yourself to get up there. The front desk service was good. What I really loved was meeting people from all over China and even other countries, and the hostel hosted various activities. It really fit my impression of Shanghai as a diverse and inclusive city.

GGuest UserExcept 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.
