Great Location and Comfortable Stay at Dengba Inn & Youth Hostel
Dengba Inn & Youth Hostel is easy to find, located near the Fumin Metro Station (Exit J2), with a large sign that makes it hard to miss. When you go up to the first floor, you’ll find the reception area, and to the right is a spacious common area where guests can eat, relax, or work on their laptops. I noticed a mix of people socializing and working, which gives the place a welcoming, community vibe.
I stayed in a 4-bed room for 3 nights, and it was comfortable with enough space. Only 3 of the 4 beds were occupied during my stay, and each bed comes with an electronic locker for securing valuables. The room smelled fresh and clean, though it lacked a window (which could be a downside for some). The AC worked perfectly fine, ensuring a cool and comfortable stay.
The hostel’s bathroom setup is also decent, with 4 toilet cubicles and 4 shower stalls. There’s also a spacious drying area for clothes in one corner.
The only downside I noticed was the building itself—it’s a bit old, and the facilities aren’t as modern as you might expect in Shenzhen, a city known for its high-tech developments. Still, the location is great, just 8-10 minutes from the Convention Center and Ping An Finance Tower, which are iconic landmarks. Plus, there are grocery stores, fruit stalls, and restaurants right downstairs, which is very convenient.
Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this hostel to others, especially if you’re looking for a budget-friendly and centrally located place to stay in Shenzhen.
