Shanghai Xianghe Hotel

9.8/10
Perfect
Posted on Mar 26, 2026
Guest User
The hotel appears to have a relatively low rating on the Ctrip app (around 4.4/10) and also does not have many reviews. I assume these ratings may be from before the recent renovation. The hotel seems to have been renovated recently, and now it is very nice and very clean. For this location, it is probably one of the best options you can get at this price. When I arrived, there was a staff member at the reception who was very helpful. At first she may seem a bit rough in her manner, but she is actually a very kind and helpful person. The room itself is very clean. If you choose the cheapest option, the room does not have a window. However, if you choose the option one level above, you can get a room with a window. Considering the location, the price is very reasonable and it is difficult to find a room this affordable in this area. The room was very clean with no dust at all. The hotel provides all the basic amenities such as slippers, Wi-Fi, a dental kit, shower gel, and towels (one large towel and two hand towels). The bathroom is clean. It is slightly small, but actually a bit larger than another room I stayed in nearby a few days ago. They also provide a hairdryer, and the bed and blanket are very comfortable. The lighting in the room is also good. Overall, for this price, you get a clean room with Wi-Fi and all the essentials, which is really all you need. I stayed in a room without a window on the first day, and on the second day I moved to a slightly more expensive room with a window. Overall, if you are coming here for a short stay, this hotel is a very good option. I would suggest not relying too much on the older ratings, as they were likely given before the renovation. ⸻ 这家酒店在携程上的评分似乎比较低(大约 4.4/10),而且评论数量也不多。我猜这些评分可能是在酒店翻新之前留下的。最近酒店应该进行了翻新,现在整体看起来非常不错,也非常干净。在这个地段,以这个价格来说,这家酒店可能是非常好的选择之一。 我到达酒店时,前台有一位工作人员接待我。她非常愿意帮忙。刚开始可能会感觉她说话比较直接,但其实她是一位非常友好、很热心的人。 房间本身非常干净。如果选择最便宜的房型,是没有窗户的。如果选择高一个等级的房型,就可以有窗户。考虑到这里的地理位置,这个价格非常合理,在这个区域很难找到同样价格的房间。 房间非常干净,没有灰尘。酒店提供基本的洗漱用品和设施,例如拖鞋、Wi-Fi、牙具、沐浴露以及毛巾(一个大毛巾和两个小毛巾)。浴室也很干净,虽然稍微有点小,但实际上比我几天前在附近住过的另一个房间还要稍微大一点。 房间里还提供吹风机,床和被子都很舒适,灯光也很好。总体来说,在这个价格下,能有一个干净、有 Wi-Fi 并且配备基本设施的房间,其实已经非常不错了。 我第一天住的是没有窗户的房间,第二天换到了一个稍微贵一点、带窗户的房间。 总体来说,如果只是短期停留,这家酒店是一个非常不错的选择。我建议不要太依赖之前的评分,因为那些评分很可能是在酒店翻新之前留下的。

Yujian hostel(The Bund Nanjing Road Branch)

9.5/10
Outstanding
Posted on Sep 7, 2026|Bed in Cloud Space Female Eight-Person Room (One Bedplace) (Female Only)
CNGuest User
This hostel was my choice for a whirlwind trip, and it's super close to Nanjing East Road. I'd come back really late after exploring, and it was reassuring for a female traveler to know the front desk was staffed 24/7. The privacy in the dorm beds was decent. Bathrooms were cleaned quite promptly, though you might have to wait a bit when it's busy. They offer free luggage storage, which is a huge plus for tourists, and it's definitely worth considering for students on a budget.

Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)

9.2/10
Very Good

I specifically chose this hostel to experience the old Shikumen lane houses. It's tucked away deep in a bustling alley, and you have to navigate through winding old streets and traditional iron gates to get in. Stepping inside, you're immediately immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of old Shanghai, a delightful surprise for its tranquil location amidst the hustle and bustle. The renovated old house retains its vintage wooden windows and old floor tiles, and the courtyard is filled with greenery. I woke up to the aroma of breakfast stalls from the lane each morning, and in the evenings, I enjoyed the breeze in the courtyard, fully experiencing local life. The beds come with blackout curtains, individual reading lights, and charging ports. Storage lockers are complete, and the bedding is changed daily, fresh and odorless. The bathrooms are cleaned in sections, with 24-hour hot water. The public living area is spacious, with bookshelves, board games, a microwave, and a self-service washing machine – full of thoughtful details. The owner and staff are warm and genuine, proactively sharing local hidden gems for food and off-the-beaten-path routes, helping me avoid tourist traps. Shopping districts and the subway are within walking distance, and there are old-school pastry shops all around. The value for money is absolutely amazing. It's my top choice for solo travelers and students. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai!

Demba Inn (Shanghai Xintiandi Yuyuan Garden The bund store )

Good

CNGuest User
Came here for a concert. It's only a few minutes' walk from the subway station, so getting around was super convenient. They have public washing machines and dryers, which is a big plus. The hygiene was excellent, and the cleaning staff were really enthusiastic. I booked a 6-bed dorm and an 8-bed dorm for two days, and they upgraded me to a 4-bed dorm. The common areas had a great vibe too! The only downside was that the bathroom door lock was a bit tricky to use.

Dengba Inn (Shanghai Flagship)

This place is great! The front desk staff personally showed me to my bed. No eating or loud phone calls are allowed in the rooms, which keeps things quiet. A little foot traffic is totally acceptable. I specifically chose a multi-person dorm to try it out, and it was surprisingly quiet. The bedding was clean, and I didn't have to make my own bed; it was even softer than my college dorm bed. You can order takeout in the common lounge area, and there's self-serve hot water and a microwave at the front desk. The toilet in the bathroom has disposable seat covers, and the shower facilities are good too. Overall, it's truly excellent for a hostel.

Weiliu Youth Hostel (Shanghai People's Square Jing'an Joy City Branch)

8.6/10
Posted on Jul 26, 2026|Private Single Room
CNXiaoxiaobaby_
Facilities: The facilities are very complete. The front desk provides toothbrushes and earplugs, and I even saw disposable bath towels. The Laifen hair dryer was excellent. However, the door to the single room was transparent, very transparent (see photo 4), which made me, as a woman, feel very unsafe. Also, the charger was too far from the pillow, so I couldn't charge my phone and use it while lying down. This is definitely something to be aware of. Service: The service attitude was great. They answered all my questions, and the staff were very enthusiastic. Hygiene: The environment was truly terrible. I booked a single room, and when I entered, there was a strange, damp, and moldy smell. The bed sheets weren't clean either; they had crumbs and oil stains, which was really unpleasant for anyone staying there. I immediately ordered a disposable sleeping bag. Moreover, the desk was completely uncleaned, covered in crumbs. The toilet was okay in terms of hygiene, definitely cleaner than the room itself.

It's very close to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, just two traffic lights away from the subway entrance! The environment is beautiful and pleasant, perfect for a short stay! I called ahead to reserve and they held the room for me! Definitely worth staying at!

The place was very clean, and the facilities seemed to have been renovated and were quite good. However, the hairdryer kept overheating. And the soundproofing was absolutely terrible; I could hear every footstep outside, which was a bit scary for someone living alone. It's a bit far from the subway station, but it's not too bad if you can ride a bike.

The interior facilities are quite complete, with a cooking area, range hood, and washing machine. It's suitable for long-term stays. The shower drainage isn't very smooth, but the cleanliness is acceptable.

Cleanliness: well it is clean. Except for th Comfort room there is a yellowish on the side floor. When you open the door, you will see the snall kitchen and on its front the small comfort room. The bed is big and nice even the cabinets and table. There is no hair blower. The ref is not working. It was a cheapest and nice apartment hotel as it is like a small condo for a couple.
