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 UserOverall, the hostel was good — well located, clean, well maintained, and comfortable. It also offers some useful facilities such as a fridge, microwave, and sink, which was convenient.
However, the common areas were often extremely crowded, especially on weekends, making it difficult to find a place to sit or relax.
The bathrooms also tended to be very busy, particularly in the mornings and evenings. Although there were many sinks available, it was still often crowded. The cleaner clearly made a big effort to keep everything clean, but the bathroom still smells a bit like urine, which was uncomfortable. Despite the frequent cleaning, I feel the bathrooms occasionally need a deeper wash.
The reception staff could also be a bit more welcoming.

jiajiezhubianquanshijie Hotel controlI chose Dunba Hostel for my business trip to Shanghai, and its location is fantastic. You can walk to the Bund, and public transport is very convenient. The 8-bed male dorm with an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. The beds were clean and tidy, and the facilities were new and practical. The service was also very thoughtful. Overall, the experience far exceeded my expectations, and it offers great value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Shanghai for business.

SSeda.27The room was so tiny that two people could not really do something together. The space for luggage is way too less. The bathroom was already wet as the water from the curtain was dropping to the floor because the curtain was not in the correct position. The same applies for the curtains on the bed. Didn‘t really cover so the light woke me up. The matress is like the most chinese hostels thin and uncomfortable. The kitchen is a total mess and not clean. There are mostly peole living there rather than a hostel I guess. Couldn‘t connect with someone.

GGuest UserExcept for the smaller room, the air conditioning, bathroom, and services are all very good. The main reason is that the price is affordable. There are not many cheap places like this in Shanghai.

BBlackeyedsamuraiBooked 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.
