It was a good place to stay, the room was clean and even though it was winter after you enter the bed the cold is not a bother, it has many different commodities, as it is a hostel and you share bathroom it has a makeup place. It has a kitchen but I don’t know how it is as I didn’t use it, and there was a place where you can left your suitcase. In general it was good. Thanks
Duoyuan Youth Hostel (Shanghai Bund)

Hostel is alright. Quite centrally located. Has a large common area and a rooftop where you can hang out. Can meet people in the lobby but there won't be that many international travelers. Staff doesn't speak English but they generally know what to do. Only hot water dispenser. Hard beds, but I slept well on them. Cleanliness is okay for a Chinese hostel but not on par with international standards. Common area will be covered in trash but you are likely used to that from other places here already. I think this place is okay but I also stepwise lowered by expectations in this country, in particular to what male neighbors are emitting in terms of noise, dirt and cigarette smoke.

Good, the room is a little small, but it has everything you need, and it has convenient transportation. It is a very cost-effective choice in the center of Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable.
