The girls working on the reception were so nice they talk better English than me. Always prepared to help, even the cleaning lady was so nice and polite. I felt really good and comfortable in this accommodation. The toilets are awesome.

I stayed at a Dengba hostel near Guilin Park Metro Station in Shanghai, and the location was really convenient. It’s about a 7–8 minute walk from the station, which is on Lines 9, 12, and 15, so getting to Xujiahui, People’s Square, and other places was smooth. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so I didn’t have to go far for meals or supplies. The staff were professional and friendly. I arrived a bit early, and they helped me store my luggage and patiently answered my questions about transportation and the area. Check-in and check-out were quick, and they responded promptly when I needed help. The room was clean and tidy; overall, it was a hassle-free stay with good value.

The staff will provide a lot of things, towels and slippers. The hygiene is very clean, especially the bathroom. I can always see the cleaners cleaning. It's a very convenient check-in experience. Xu helped me a lot when I checked my luggage.

This youth hostel has performed very well in terms of environment, service and geographical location, which makes me deeply feel the unique charm and warm atmosphere of the youth hostel. I highly recommend this youth hostel to friends who are about to embark on the journey. I believe that you will have a pleasant and unforgettable journey like me. It's very close to the railway station. It's really convenient! The front desk service is very good! Hee hee, I recommend everyone to live here~

It’s a cute modern Hostel. It’s really international. I stay in an ‘european dorm’. The girl who work in reception can speak English very well and really cute. Perfect location with small rooms enough for a mega city like Shanghai. Clean, everything available you need and free water.

Amazing! One of the best hostels I've ever stayed (I've in so many, trust me!). Interior design is jaw dropping (Japanese style), location is convenient, beds are so comfy, they give you towel and so many toiletries, all the fixtures are very premium. Complementary drinks during night and a very good and varied breakfast as well. Staff very helpful and friendly always worrying about you feeling comfy. Summarizing, it feels like a boutique hotel, you must stay and thank me later!

Close to the metro so you can get to the centre in under half an hour and rooms are cheap for Shanghai. Free laundry facilities. The rooms and hostel in general were well designed (eg bed with curtains, good sized locker). Essentially, it has great potential but it’s just not currently a great place to stay as a solo traveler
