GGuest UserExcellent, excellent, excellent, excellent!
Environment: Very good
Facilities: Good
Hygiene: Decent
Service: Wow, the experience exceeded my expectations! The room had great natural light, no strange odors, and even the corners were clean. The bedding was soft, and the bathroom had plenty of hot water. The front desk staff patiently explained the local attractions, and their service was really thoughtful. The location is close to the subway and tourist spots, making it super convenient for getting around. Highly recommend!

GGuest UserArrived late at night near the Bund, completely exhausted and dragging my luggage, but the 24-hour front desk still greeted me kindly. When checking in, they thoughtfully reminded me about the locker and laundry room locations. The hallways were clean and odorless, and the bed was soft and warm. The cleaning staff tidied the restrooms multiple times a day, and there was 24-hour hot water available on demand. In my free time, I enjoyed chatting about travel stories in the common area, and the hosts were genuinely engaging. It's an affordable stay, yet full of thoughtful touches – a stable and healing little corner even when you're far from home.

LLuanpaodeyouyuAfter a long day of traveling, checking in here instantly melted away my exhaustion. The entire place was meticulously cleaned, the bathroom was spotless and dry, and the bedding was soft. Each bunk had full privacy features, ensuring an undisturbed rest. The front desk staff, particularly 'Guoguo', was incredibly friendly, helpful, and reliable. The common lounge had a cozy, warm glow, and I enjoyed chatting with fellow travelers from all over, sharing interesting stories and even exploring local spots together. The owners were genuinely thoughtful and generous, freely sharing tips on local delicacies and hidden gems. This wasn't just a one-night stay; it was a wonderfully gentle encounter on my journey. Both the value for money and the overall experience were perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend it to solo travelers.

GGuest UserI 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!
Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)

8.8/10
GGuest UserThis is a very cozy hostel, and its close proximity to the subway station makes getting around super convenient. The owner is really enthusiastic and the auntie keeps the place spotlessly clean. The bunk beds have little curtains, which is great for privacy. Even though the room isn't huge, the air conditioning works well and there's plenty of hot water. Overall, it's a great place!

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 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.
