Shanghai Hotel Recommendation | Only $80 per Night

Last week, my classmates and I went on a whirlwind two-day, one-night trip to Shanghai and stayed at a female-only hostel. Priced at just over $80 per person, we were pleasantly surprised the moment we opened the door: the European classical vintage style was clearly a labor of love! Dark wood furniture, velvet sofas, retro oil paintings, and even the lighting fixtures exuded elegance—the lobby was quiet and sophisticated. The rooms continued this aesthetic, with dark wooden bed frames and thick blackout curtains that were not only stylish but also great for soundproofing and blocking light. The best part? It was incredibly quiet at night—the other female guests moved around softly, with no noise or slamming doors. After a long day of walking, aching all over, coming back to this peaceful and cozy environment meant a deep, restful sleep, recharging us for another day of exploration. The location was the biggest highlight—just steps away from the subway station. The beautiful vintage lobby also became our go-to spot for resting and planning the next day’s itinerary. Overall, it felt safe and hassle-free. In short: unbeatable value, exquisite vintage decor, quiet comfort, and zero distance to the subway—for budget-conscious students like us who still want a comfortable stay, this hostel was the perfect choice! 🎠 Oriental Paris Female Youth Hostel (Shanghai Railway Station Branch) ✨ 3F, 360 Hengtong Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai
