GGuest UserThe隐 (Hidden) Youth Hostel is right by the Exit of Metro Line 9, with Tianzifang and SML Center shopping mall nearby, making it super convenient for getting around and finding food. I heard it just opened recently, so it's clean and tidy with no strange smells. You get fresh sheets and duvet covers to put on yourself, which is reassuringly hygienic. Most of the guests are young people, and there are even some foreigners! The front desk staff, especially Xiao Jing, the handsome guy with long hair, and Xiao Lü, the handsome guy with glasses who speaks excellent English, are both really friendly and lovely. This was my first time staying at a youth hostel, and it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back!

AAnonymous User# Stayed in a hostel with weird roommates who clearly missed basic civic lessons in elementary school.
The decor in the common areas on the 1st and 2nd floors is quite interesting. On the street level, there's a small outdoor garden, and a separate entrance for delivery drivers directly to the 2nd-floor staircase. The main entrance, however, leads to the front desk first, then an elevator.
The second floor offers independent tables and chairs for two, large long tables for groups, and comfy bean bag chairs with small coffee tables. There's also a large-screen TV available.
**Environment:**
1. **Convenient Transportation:** It's near Exit 6 of Cao Yang Road Station (Metro Line 3) and Exit 3 of Feng Qiao Station (Metro Line 11). I recommend using Feng Qiao Station as it's closer and you don't have to cross a major road. There are also several bus stops nearby.
2. **Easy to Find:** Located right by the road.
3. **Amenities:** There's a medium-sized supermarket at the intersection, making it very convenient for daily necessities. And of course, plenty of dining options! You can find Northeastern cuisine, local Shanghainese dishes, and a bit further, there are even community canteens for seniors and restaurants serving rice with stewed pork ribs soup.
4. **Room Features:** The four-person sunroom is very well-ventilated and airy.
**Hygiene:** The cleanliness of the common areas was consistently good, just like my last stay, maintaining tidiness from morning till night. However, this time in the same four-person room, my roommates had extremely poor living habits and didn't adhere to the dorm rules we signed upon check-in. Roommate #3, a young guy, constantly ordered takeout and ate it in bed, then left the used disposable tableware and drink cups next to the trash can. Roommate #4, another young person who clearly lacked basic moral education, would throw used tissues from the upper bunk onto the floor in the common aisle below after using the toilet. They didn't forget to toss disposable gloves 🧤 along with them. They also placed their small personal suitcase right in front of the cabinet for suitcase #1, completely disregarding how others would access their lockers. Plus, they had a very bizarre habit of hanging socks on the curtain rod and wouldn't allow the curtains to be closed at night. After I closed them, they'd pull them open again. Seriously, aren't they worried about residents in the opposite building seeing them in their pajamas at night?
**Facilities:**
The bed and bedding in the room this time were excellent. However, the toilet seat was broken, and the drain was clogged. The water drained extremely slowly during showers, leaving my feet standing in water. And when my roommate showered, they left the entire common aisle in the room flooded.
**Service:** As soon as I reported the drainage issue to the front desk via WeChat, a staff member quickly came with a plunger to clear it. That was excellent.

GGuest UserThe location of Dengba Hostel is simply tailor-made for lazy travelers! Right outside the door is the subway, no need to wait for buses or taxis, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want. These past few days in Shanghai, I woke up naturally every morning, then slowly took the subway to explore, and came back when I was tired at night, with absolutely no hassle. This kind of travel is truly relaxing! Front desk staff Xiao Wang provided excellent service.

The value for money is outstanding, and the facilities are complete. The common areas are perfect for relaxing or working, and the overall vibe is cozy and comforting, making it ideal for solo travelers or friends traveling together. Staying here is not only comfortable and secure but also gives you a strong sense of local life and human touch. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit and sincerely recommend it to everyone.
Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)

8.7/10
GGuest UserThe room decor was incredibly thoughtful, vintage yet cozy. The cleanliness was impeccable; the floors and room were spotless and odor-free, which is truly a rare find in Shanghai. The common areas were also very comfortable, especially the dining table area which had a fantastic ambiance – it felt great just sitting and relaxing there. 🛋️ The owner was very kind, communication was smooth, and their recommendations were super helpful. Overall, for a short stay in Shanghai, this place was both quiet and unique, offering incredible value for money. I'll definitely choose it again next time!

HHeather AvaOne of the first reasons for selecting this hostel was the location and price alone! It is located in a very central part of Shanghai. It’s a busy street but located in walking distance of trains, many local restaurants and a short DiDi ride to main attractions.
The service is great! Quick, easy and efficient check-in process. The desk staff were great in communicating expectations and the area to lead me.
The bathroom areas are clean, showers within the areas. Blow dryers and sink amenities are present.
I enjoyed my nights rest due to the comfort of the bed and linens provided.

It's in an old skyscraper, and the moment it is gone (because of how prime the location), we won't have such an economical space in the city center 😭 very fun, great kitchen, library and i liked the rooms and staff and the cinema room 📽️ The Bund is literally right around the corner
