Dayin International Youth Hostel -Tianzifang & Xintiandi

9.6/10
Excellent
Posted on Jul 18, 2026|Bed In 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room
CNGuest User
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.

After staying in the first room on the first night, I booked another room in the same hotel for the second night. This room was slightly more expensive (around 10 RMB more) but it had a window facing the road. The room had all the same basic amenities as the first one, including Wi-Fi, slippers, dental kit, shower gel, towels, and a hairdryer. The cleanliness was also just as good. The room was very clean with no dust, and the bathroom was neat and well maintained. Compared with the first room, this one was slightly larger and felt more comfortable mainly because of the window. The window provided natural light and ventilation, which made the room feel much more open and pleasant. Overall, everything I mentioned in my previous review about the hotel—such as the cleanliness, basic amenities, reasonable price, and convenient location—also applies to this room. The only difference is that this room is slightly bigger and has a window, which makes it a bit more comfortable. If you are deciding between the two, paying a little extra for the window room is worth it. It is still very affordable for this location and provides a more comfortable stay. ⸻ 在第一晚入住没有窗户的房间之后,第二晚我仍然选择住在同一家酒店,不过订了一个稍微贵一点的房间(大约贵了10元左右)。这个房间有一扇面向马路的窗户。 这个房间和第一晚的房间一样,配备了所有基本设施,例如 Wi-Fi、拖鞋、牙具、沐浴露、毛巾以及吹风机。房间的卫生状况也同样很好,非常干净,没有灰尘,浴室也整洁干净。 和第一晚的房间相比,这个房间的面积稍微大一点,而且因为有窗户,所以整体感觉更加舒适。窗户带来了自然采光和自然通风,让房间感觉更加通透和舒适。 总体来说,我在之前评价中提到的优点,比如房间干净、设施齐全、价格合理以及位置方便,在这个房间里同样适用。唯一的区别是这个房间稍微大一点,并且有窗户,因此住起来更加舒服。 如果需要在两个房型之间选择,我会建议多花一点点钱选择带窗户的房间。价格依然很实惠,但整体住宿体验会更好。

I chose YunJianBar Hostel for my solo trip, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The overall decor has a wonderfully relaxed, cloud-like vibe, and the common area is quiet and therapeutic with amazing views from the window. Each bunk has a thick blackout curtain and individual charging port, ensuring maximum privacy. The cleaning staff tidies up daily, the bathrooms are odor-free, and the hot water is consistent. The owner even gave thoughtful recommendations for local, lesser-known spots. I met so many like-minded travelers here, and my solo travel loneliness completely disappeared. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)

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!

The location is great, very close to the subway station, making it convenient to get to The Bund and Nanjing Road. There are also plenty of dining options nearby. The hostel itself is quite clean; both the common areas and bathrooms are regularly tidied, which gives you peace of mind. The front desk staff are very friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. The hostel has a good atmosphere; you can sit and chat or relax in the lobby, which is perfect for solo travelers. The bunk beds have curtains, offering decent privacy, and there are sockets and a small light by the bed – everything you need is there. For this price in Shanghai, it's really excellent value for money. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

Iforest Hostel (Jing'an Temple Metro Station)

8.7/10
Posted on Aug 6, 2026|Bed In 6-person Room (Females Only) (Room Rate Calculated Per Bed)
CNGuest User
This place is truly a hidden 'paradise' right in the heart of Shanghai's fashion district! My favorite part is the large street-facing terrace on the third floor – it's super relaxing to just sit there, feel the evening breeze, and zone out. It's also within walking distance to the US Visa Application Center, which is incredibly convenient for anyone coming to get their visa done, saving them the hassle of rushing early in the morning. Located at No. 1213 West Beijing Road, it's right next to the core business district of West Nanjing Road. It's only a few hundred meters from Nanjing West Road Station (Metro Lines 2 & 12) and Jing'an Temple Station (Metro Lines 2 & 7), making it easy to walk anywhere. Surrounding it are popular malls like Plaza 66, Meilongzhen Plaza, and Citic Square, so you can easily go shopping or grab a meal after your visa appointment. The front desk service was also very warm and attentive. For anyone needing to apply for a US visa or looking for a high-value-for-money place to stay in the city center, this is definitely the top choice!

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!

Weiliu Youth Hostel (Shanghai People's Square Jing'an Joy City Branch)

8.5/10

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).

The interior facilities are quite complete, with a cooking area, range hood, and washing machine. It's suitable for long-term stays. The shower drainage isn't very smooth, but the cleanliness is acceptable.

Cleanliness: well it is clean. Except for th Comfort room there is a yellowish on the side floor. When you open the door, you will see the snall kitchen and on its front the small comfort room. The bed is big and nice even the cabinets and table. There is no hair blower. The ref is not working. It was a cheapest and nice apartment hotel as it is like a small condo for a couple.
