9.6/10
Excellent
GGuest UserThe隐 (Hidden) Youth Hostel is right by the Exit of Metro Line 9, with Tianzifang and SML Center shopping mall nearby, making it super convenient for getting around and finding food. I heard it just opened recently, so it's clean and tidy with no strange smells. You get fresh sheets and duvet covers to put on yourself, which is reassuringly hygienic. Most of the guests are young people, and there are even some foreigners! The front desk staff, especially Xiao Jing, the handsome guy with long hair, and Xiao Lü, the handsome guy with glasses who speaks excellent English, are both really friendly and lovely. This was my first time staying at a youth hostel, and it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back!

GGuest UserThe location of Dengba Hostel is simply tailor-made for lazy travelers! Right outside the door is the subway, no need to wait for buses or taxis, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want. These past few days in Shanghai, I woke up naturally every morning, then slowly took the subway to explore, and came back when I was tired at night, with absolutely no hassle. This kind of travel is truly relaxing! Front desk staff Xiao Wang provided excellent service.

GGuest UserThe beds are spacious, and the bedding is soft and clean. The privacy is also excellent, ensuring a very peaceful and undisturbed night's sleep. The owner and staff are incredibly warm and friendly, always ready to answer any questions and patiently recommend local delicious food and fun places, making you feel like a close friend. The atmosphere here is relaxed and comfortable, and I met many like-minded travelers. We chatted and shared travel stories, so I never felt lonely.
The value for money is outstanding, and the facilities are complete. The common areas are perfect for relaxing or working, and the overall vibe is cozy and comforting, making it ideal for solo travelers or friends traveling together. Staying here is not only comfortable and secure but also gives you a strong sense of local life and human touch. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit and sincerely recommend it to everyone.
Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)
Hotel near Huaihai Road Area, Shanghai
Price per night fromILS 31
8.7/10
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.

GGuest UserI stayed at this hostel for one day and honestly, for the location, price, and service, it's truly great value for money. The subway station isn't far, and I personally enjoy walking. My friend and I chatted as we walked and before we knew it, we were on Nanjing East Road. When I came back in the evening, the front desk staff were attentive and greeted me, which was really heartwarming. They also had hot water and cool boiled water available at the front desk, which shows great attention to detail. Tissues were also provided. So many thoughtful touches! I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit.

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.

BBlackeyedsamuraiBooked this hotel last minute, cause my favorite hotel is closing down business this month and i wanted something nearer cause I’m well versed with the surrounding areas, 1: the first red flag is the reception, mail and deliveries are all piled up and falling off shelves, it’s so dirty and humid, it looks like a hoarder’s poach, they’re no waiting chairs, so you’ll stand while they process the guests that came before you until it’s your turn !! The receptionists are very nice and helpful .
2; no room housekeeping ( you’ll have to ask for someone to come take the rubbish and give you towels or change your bedding.
3: THE FILTH!!! The filth is on level 1000/100 the grime made it hard for me to shower with my eyes open, I’m not sure if the place has a manager and if they care about the the wellbeing of the clients , because from what i saw, the cleaners don’t even bother, the floor had food stains from i think when they just opened, the sink🤮 the bathroom ( that one corner gave me the hibbigibeis) the toilet seat was broken
, everything in the bathroom was broken and dirty , then my charger fell in the space which is between the bathroom glass and the bed, got down to retrieve it and i decided it was best to just a get a new charger instead.
The place if cleaned and cared for would be an amazing hotel apartment, it has great amenities , a washing machine a fridge and a drying rack if you upgrade to a bigger room, a kitchenette that would be great if you are interested in cooking and staying longer and it’ has an Aldi downstairs, a gym and lots of other great places surrounding it . I really hope the owners would read this and take it into consideration and carry out serious supervision or else their property will lose value, The hygiene of the hotel does not only ensure the health and wellness of the visitors who sleep in those walls but also keeps the property value up. Dirt And filth only brings it down and puts the health of others at risk . I really hope they change standards.
