AAnonymous UserAmong the hostels I've stayed in, this one stood out for its facilities, environment, and cleanliness. Fresh bed linens (sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases) are provided for each new guest, which you put on yourself. I've had experiences with smelly blankets in other hostels, but thankfully, the duvets here were fresh and odor-free. The bathrooms were also clean and free of any unpleasant smells. The sinks are a bit on the small side, which can make it cramped for toiletries. I'd suggest adding a few hooks above each sink; it would be much more convenient to hang items. Some of the adjustable showerheads worked, while others didn't, but the water pressure was strong, the water was hot, and the hairdryer provided was good. The laundry room gets busy in the evenings, so consider doing your washing during the day. The drying racks also get very crowded, so you'll need to be quick to find a space! While most guests try to be mindful and quiet, varying sleep schedules are unavoidable in a hostel. Light sleepers would definitely benefit from bringing earplugs!

YYuesefu-This place is amazing! So clean, and my stay was absolutely fantastic. I came for the Xiaoyudi concert and even met a lot of fellow fans here, haha.
I was traveling solo in Shanghai, and this hostel really helped me break out of my shell! The front desk staff are great at getting everyone involved; they added me to the guest chat group right when I checked in, and I found someone to explore the Bund with that same day. The common area is spacious with board games and cards, and they often organize game nights, making it easy for even introverted people to join in. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the soundproofing was good, so it wasn't noisy at all. If you're looking to meet new people in Shanghai, this is definitely the place to choose!

AAnna KekOne of the nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed in! It’s clean, cozy, and perfectly located in the city center — with cafés, parks, and everything you might need just a short walk away. The staff are super friendly and helpful; they speak a bit of English and are always ready to assist with anything. Highly recommend!

MM740605****Drawbacks I noticed:
Underneath my mattress, there were quite a few small, uncleaned items, like cotton swabs and used tissues (though there was a clean set of sheets available to spread out).
The six-person room had no windows, and the cooling and ventilation system wasn't great. Even on the coldest setting, it was still a bit warm, making me sleep shirtless (I stayed in winter, so after 15 degrees Celsius, it was quite warm).
Disposable toothbrushes and towels were charged for, but shower gel and shampoo were free.

PPato LuI stayed for one night at Dengba Inn and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The location is excellent—just a few meters from the Zhenxin New Village subway station, which made it very easy to find and convenient for getting around Shanghai.
The hostel has a spacious common area that’s clean, well-lit, and perfect for relaxing or socializing with other travelers. It gave the place a cozy, welcoming vibe.
My room was also larger than expected for a 6-person dorm, with plenty of space to move around and store luggage. The bed was soft and comfortable, and although I had to make the bed myself (which was a bit unusual), the bedding was clean and neatly stored inside the locker along with ample space for my belongings. Once set up, it felt very homey and private.
Bathrooms and shared facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the whole place had a relaxed, backpacker-friendly atmosphere. Staff were polite and helpful, although I didn’t need much assistance during my short stay.
For budget-conscious travelers or those looking for an easy, comfortable place to stay near public transport, I’d highly recommend Dengba Inn. It offers great value for money, with clean rooms, a fantastic location, and a chill vibe that makes it easy to feel at home—even if just for a night.

GGuest UserThe price is cheap and the expectations are not high, but I didn't expect the king-size room to be in such an environment. The sound insulation is very poor, and the footsteps outside can be clearly heard. At more than seven in the morning, the construction workers were communicating outside, and I was woken up and couldn't sleep.
The multi-person berth is on the first floor outside, and it won't pass here, which may be better than this.
The door of the king-size room is right under these scaffoldings, and I have been considering it carefully recently.

GGuest UserThe hostel it isn’t in the main center but with just two metro line (line 2 and line 14) you can reach all the main attraction of Shangai, without taking too long. I tried two different room (because I add one more night once I arrived at the hostel) and the second one was very comfortable (the share room with 4 bunk bed and a private bathroom). The “patio” outside was very nice to read some books, have a dinner or just chat and take some fresh air.

MM11176****The hotel's location is excellent, just seven or eight minutes from the subway station. If you're coming from the train station or heading to Nanjing Road or the Bund, I recommend taking bus 930; it's less crowded, close to the hotel, and only one or two stops away. The lady at the front desk was very kind; there was an available room, so I was able to check in early. Thank you. The facilities are comprehensive, with a double-door refrigerator, a bathtub, a shower, a smart toilet, and high-end brand air conditioning. Even the hairdryer is a reputable brand worth several hundred yuan. The experience was truly great. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I'll definitely choose this place again when I visit Shanghai in the future. The only downsides were a bit of dampness and some noise from the construction work going on outside the building. That was a bit disappointing. However, it wasn't an issue at night as they stopped working. Overall, it was still perfect. Getting food delivery or groceries was also very convenient.

MM52199****The hostel is conveniently located near Exit 10 of Hanzhong Road Metro Station, close to the Shanghai Talent Market. The front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. The dormitory beds have curtains for privacy, a mirror, and charging sockets. The shared bathrooms were clean. Overall, I had a great stay.

MM306602****The price is very good in the central area of Shanghai... The room is clean and tidy, with refrigerator, kitchen and washing machine. The young manager is very easy to get along with. When I moved to another room that day, I couldn't move everything by myself, so the manager helped me move... I will stay here every time I come to Shanghai...
