GGuest UserThis is a good hostel I've stayed at in Shanghai. Each room has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower and hairdryer. There's a curtain for wet/dry separation, and while it's not as good as a glass door, it helps reduce water splashing. The toilet is relatively quiet, and the bathroom door offers good sound insulation and locks securely. The mirror above the sink has a light, which is great for quiet use at night. The bathroom's ceiling light is connected to the exhaust fan, which can be a bit noisy, but compared to some other hostels, they've clearly put a lot of thought into it. They even seem to provide toilet paper! To ensure quietness, there are three additional private bathrooms outside the rooms, also with wet/dry separation and hairdryers.
There's a common lounge area, convenient for eating and using a computer, though it's not huge, which is understandable given its prime location in downtown Shanghai. There are coin-operated washing machines and dryers, located outside so they shouldn't be noisy. The front desk offers free laundry detergent. The drying area nearby is a bit crowded and doesn't get much sun. There's a direct-drinking water dispenser next to the laundry area.
Upon entering the room, you're required to change into slippers, which helps keep out dust and odors. The beds have pre-sanitized and bagged sheets and duvet covers. Each bed comes with a lockable locker and a clothes hanger. The room hygiene genuinely seems cleaner than typical hostels. The location on Guangdong Road is excellent, with convenient transportation.
My main gripe, which is common in hostels, is the sheer number of people. In an 8-person room, some people were still on the phone past 11 PM, others checked in at 3 AM, and some started doing their makeup at 6 AM, leading to constant noise and disturbance.

AAnonymous UserThe location is great, convenient for getting anywhere, and the hostel environment and surroundings are also lovely. The cleaning lady was prompt with tidying, and the bedding was very comfortable. The only downsides were that the sink was shared by both genders, and the restroom only had a toilet, no squat toilet. Also, if the lobby was crowded, there might not be a place to sit. Other than that, everything was fine, and there are lots of good places to eat nearby. Overall, it's pretty good~

GGuest UserEvery time I visit Shanghai, I stay at this hotel. It offers excellent value for money, with well-equipped and clean facilities, and top-notch service. The location is also superb, making it convenient for shopping and dining. What truly stands out is the front desk service; they are incredibly helpful and friendly. I always enjoy chatting with them, and they really go the extra mile to make guests feel welcome and valued.

8.8/10
GGuest UserThe room was very clean, and the bunk beds in the dorm room had spacious and practical shelves with combination locks for storage. Most of the guests were considerate; it was generally quiet and peaceful at night. The restrooms and showers were separated by gender, and the disposable toilet seat covers provided a sense of security. The front desk staff was very kind, and they offered free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out (though you have to put your belongings in the storage room yourself, which made me a little worried about others potentially rummaging through them).
There were also a cockatiel and a lovebird in a pet cage in the abandoned (?) cafe on the first floor. I wonder who's taking care of the little parrots 🥹
The only minor drawback was the cleanliness of the washbasin area. It clearly hadn't been cleaned regularly, with limescale, mold, and a lot of hair around the edges. Some guests also washed their dishes in the sink, leaving food residue, which was a bit unhygienic.

GGuest UserI've stayed here for quite a while, and the staff are all diligent, responsible, and have excellent service attitudes, comparable to five-star service, with prompt responses. Some of the facilities are a bit old, but the sanitation is well-maintained; you wouldn't guess it's an old establishment. It's clear why it's been around for so long. Overall, it offers great value for money, and it's very convenient for business travel. If you need to take the subway, it's about an 8-10 minute walk.

TtonytravelsmondoI am grateful for Xiao Duan and Xiaolin for the help they’ve provided me!!
Great value hostel in a top location — a few honest tips for fellow travellers
The location is absolutely spot-on — right in the heart of things, couldn't ask for better. The staff were brilliant: genuinely helpful and welcoming. They gave me a disposable towel and tissues free of charge, which normally costs ¥3 — a small gesture, but a kind one that made a difference.
A few honest notes if you're coming from somewhere like Japan (as I was): manage your expectations on cleanliness. Japanese hostels spoil you — spotless rooms, no smells, the lot. China is different, and this place is no exception. The toilet had a bit of an odour, and the rooms could do with more regular ventilation. It's not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing.
On the plus side: free drinking water to fill your bottle, paid laundry on-site, and that unbeatable central location. The rooms themselves are decent enough nothing flash, but perfectly fine for the price.
Finding the place: Google Maps is patchy in China at best. I'd strongly recommend downloading Baidu Maps or Amap (高德地图) before you arrive — they're far more reliable here. If you do use Google Maps, cross-reference the address with the Chinese name 登巴客栈 (Dengba Hostel) to avoid ending up on the wrong side of town.
Overall, a solid 4-star stay — perhaps I'm slightly biased coming straight from Japan, but for the price and location, it's a sound choice.

GGuest UserFirst time in Shanghai, and this hostel is conveniently located in a building with easy elevator access. I stayed in a four-person dorm. The room was a bit small, but the natural light was decent, and having an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. My main gripe is getting into the top bunk; the ladder design makes it quite difficult to climb, you really need to brace yourself to get up there. The front desk service was good. What I really loved was meeting people from all over China and even other countries, and the hostel hosted various activities. It really fit my impression of Shanghai as a diverse and inclusive city.
