Great Stay in the Heart of Shanghai
I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The location is perfect—right between The Bund and the Shanghai Museum, making it easy to explore the city. The subway is also close by, which was convenient for getting around.
The staff were helpful and spoke English, which made my stay even smoother. The bed was comfortable with a privacy curtain that hides the light very well :) —it added an extra touch of comfort. Nothing fancy but overall, a great choice for anyone visiting Shanghai!
Response from Property: Dear friends: Hello! Thank you for your 5-point review! Every city has its own reasons for missing, every season has its own unforgettable scenery, and every inn has its own sweet and warm memories. I hope Dengba will be the warmest and most unique one in your memory! Come back to Dengba Inn often, and I wish you well!

I found a cockroach in the bathroom about 10 minutes after arriving. The bathroom and and the floor were dirty. The only clean thing were the sheets for the bed.
No one speaks even a little English. The location is great though.

I booked a bed in a 8-bed dormitory, with AC.
The dormitory is a bit small, so you can feel packed, especially with everyones' luggage.
The bed is a bunk bed, large enough, with a fair enough good mattress.
For this dorm, you have access to an ensuite bathroom (shower + toilet) and a sink outside the bathroom.
All could definitely be cleaner.
The WiFi could be better.
The staff is very nice and friendly.
The location is very convenient, close to Nanjing Road.
I would definitely recommend this place for a short or a long stay.

Look it's a great location. Right down town. If you're staying for a short while it would be a great place, if you don't mind staying in dirty hostels. The bathrooms are poorly cleaned (see attached photo) the drinking water machine is not cleaned properly either.
I would probably not stay here again. The photos are of the venue are a bit old.

Amazing
Posted on Dec 28, 2024
Staffs are very friendly.
Location is great, walking distance to 南京路
The building seems to be in an apartment
Many eateries around.
Room is clean.
Toilet is not as clean as the room, there’s no tissue paper not sure if it’s a culture thing.
Response from Property: Dear friends: Hello! Thank you for your recognition of Shanghai Dengba Inn in all aspects! But we know that there is still a certain gap between the full five-point standard in your mind, and we will continue to work hard! Wish you: Happy every day!
