Hostels in Shanghai, China

10/10!! If you're coming to Shanghai and want to stay in a hostel, definitely choose this place! Room: I stayed in an 8-bed dorm, and it was excellent. The room had a window 🪟. During my stay, I had both Chinese and foreign roommates, and everyone was very well-mannered. Facilities: They have their own gym. I went there for two days and did pull-ups, dumbbell curls, and Ashtanga yoga 🧘. Social Atmosphere: Fantastic! I met a great friend 👫 here. The front desk staff and cleaning ladies were incredibly professional. The entire process, from check-in to check-out, was smooth and friendly. A special shout-out to Xiaozhu, Xiaoli, and Xiaolu. Their professionalism deserves a raise from the company!

Mengting at the front desk was fantastic – very attentive and patient. She even proactively offered me a pair of plastic slippers, which was great for showering. This was incredibly thoughtful, as I genuinely hadn't packed any, and it was a huge help. The room felt a bit dated, and perhaps due to the lack of a window, the bathroom was still a bit damp and musty. While the cleanliness was acceptable, I honestly felt that the actual tidiness could largely depend on the occupants. The location was convenient, close to the metro station with many bus routes available.

Had a great stay at Hicozy International Youth Hostel! The staff are very helpful and always jolly —special thanks to YoYo Also to Melody & Ryun for being so warm and accommodating. The ayi (auntie) who cooks is also wonderful and very helpful. The hostel is complete with modern facilities, clean bathrooms and a very accesible Area to the Metro Station(East Nanjing Road) and a large, spacious common area that makes it easy to relax and meet other travelers. Highly recommended!

The microwave, water, and disposable cups were a nice touch. There's a bus stop right outside, which is very convenient. The overall environment is clean and hygienic. The communal tables are generally clean, though the white one could be a bit dirtier. There are several restrooms. The one near the mirror in the women's restroom can sometimes be a bit dirty, but the others are all very clean, as are the sinks. Just note that no disposable toiletries are provided, and the room itself is quite small, making it hard to fit luggage.

Hygiene: Great and very clean. Ambiance: The decor is gorgeous. Everything smells lovely, like perfume. Service: The service is excellent, and the bed is very comfortable. Facilities: The heating is very warm. However, there are too few washing machines and dryers. Four washers and four dryers are simply not enough.

1. This stay was absolutely fantastic! The lobby is grand, and the environment is superb. The front desk was efficient and provided excellent service. 2. This hotel is genuinely great. They even offered complimentary bottled water upon check-in. The room was spacious and bright, with complete amenities. The breakfast was rich and varied, super delicious! 3. The front desk lady was incredibly nice, and the cleanliness details were all spot-on. The mattress was incredibly soft and comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure with quick hot water—pure bliss!

A truly wonderful, warm, and well-equipped youth hostel. It's very close to the Bund, and you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower right from downstairs. I'm so glad I chose this place for my solo trip. So many stories were left here – about Shanghai, about youth, about travel. I, too, couldn't help but leave a piece of my 'story' here. My gratitude is beyond words…

What an amazing experience! The front desk staff was so enthusiastic. When she saw me struggling with two suitcases, she greeted me while rushing over to open the door and even tried to help me with my luggage. It almost made this big guy embarrassed! The facilities inside were exactly as pictured, even better. The absolute highlight was the huge 200-300 square meter drying area on the top floor – probably the largest online. Six washing machines and dryers lined up in a row were a huge convenience for long-term guests, and the drying area has a transparent roof, so it's good come rain or shine. The drying area is so massive that a portion of it has been converted into a relaxation zone, with starry string lights on the ceiling. Imagine a few beers and a barbecue up there on a summer night – simply fantastic!

Highly recommend for anyone who loves a natural atmosphere! Guiye Inn is filled with greenery everywhere you look. The birds chirping in the garden replace the sound of car horns, and the air is wonderfully fresh. The lobby is spacious, equipped with a projector, TV, and even a stage, making it super comfortable for chatting and gathering with new travel companions. This time I experienced the dormitory room; the beds were clean and comfortable. For someone my age, it was a nice way to experience a younger style of accommodation. The second-floor bathrooms are separated by gender, which is both safe and hygienic. Unlike other hotels, there's no smoky smell in the rooms, as there's a dedicated smoking area. I also saw the rooms on the third floor, which have fantastic natural light. The family twin room can sleep four, making it perfect for those traveling with kids. The cleaning auntie is incredibly meticulous, even using alcohol for disinfection – really impressive! Next time, I'm definitely booking a king-size room!

The room was very bright and tidy, and the lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic. The comforter and pillows were clean too. For a hostel with a 6-bed dorm, having an en-suite bathroom with a wet/dry separation was a great, clean, and nice touch. It's also very close to the Bund and Nanjing Road.
