Find Top Hostels in Shanghai

The entire floor is cleaned frequently, with no dust accumulation even in the stairwells and corners. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation and good ventilation, so there are no odors. Hot water is available 24/7. Both Xiao Jing and Xiao Nuo provided excellent service. They were always quick to respond via WeChat whenever I had a small issue during my travels, and immediately provided small items like paper, pens, and packing bags when I needed them. Their service was thoughtful and attentive.

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.

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!

Let's start with the positives. The single room was quite good; though small, it was clean, and the bedding had no stains. The air conditioning worked great. For a solo traveler looking to save some money, it offers excellent value. The shared bathroom was reasonably clean, with all the essentials at the sink. Disposable toiletries were readily available upon request from the front desk, which was convenient. Now for the negatives. It was a bit noisy. Perhaps I'm a light sleeper, but the sounds of people walking in the hallway really kept me awake. Also, the door was translucent, and the green light from the safety exit sign in the hallway shone into the room all night, making it even harder to fall asleep. Additionally, eating is not allowed in the room and requires going to the common area (though this is more of an inconvenience than a true drawback).

This older hotel is truly reliable. Our house is undergoing renovations, so we needed a temporary place to stay. I've often passed by this hotel but this was my first time staying, and it was surprisingly good! Although it's been open for a few years, everything is well-maintained, showing they really put effort into running the place. The overall environment is very quiet, and it offers great value for money for a relaxing stay.

This hotel is absolutely, incredibly amazing!!! The staff are so kind and went out of their way to help me. Since I'm a foreigner, I couldn't do laundry or go shopping, but the staff helped me with those tasks and we even had a nice chat. Thanks to everyone, my memories of Shanghai turned into happy ones. I highly recommend this hotel!

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.

Traveling solo to Shanghai and needed a place to stay overnight, I chose Duoyuan Youth Hostel (Bund Branch) and my experience exceeded expectations. I'd give it a five-star recommendation across the board! The hostel's location is superb, situated on Guangdong Road in Huangpu District. You can walk to the Bund and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing, shopping, and errands. The hostel has a 24-hour front desk with kind and patient staff who are efficient at check-in and luggage storage, and they'll answer any questions you have in detail. The female dorm beds offer great privacy, and each bed comes with a locker to securely store valuables. Rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, and the floors, bedding, and sinks are spotless and odor-free. The Wi-Fi is stable, and there are plenty of charging outlets by the bed – all essential facilities are well-provided. The overall atmosphere of the hostel is quiet and peaceful, giving a solo traveler a strong sense of security. For its downtown location, the value for money is excellent. It's perfect whether you're on a short trip or just need a temporary place to crash. I'll definitely prioritize this hostel again on my next visit to Shanghai!

Booked 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.
