9.2/10
Very Good
GGuest UserWhat an amazing experience! The front desk staff was so enthusiastic. When she saw me struggling with two suitcases, she greeted me while rushing over to open the door and even tried to help me with my luggage. It almost made this big guy embarrassed!
The facilities inside were exactly as pictured, even better. The absolute highlight was the huge 200-300 square meter drying area on the top floor – probably the largest online. Six washing machines and dryers lined up in a row were a huge convenience for long-term guests, and the drying area has a transparent roof, so it's good come rain or shine. The drying area is so massive that a portion of it has been converted into a relaxation zone, with starry string lights on the ceiling. Imagine a few beers and a barbecue up there on a summer night – simply fantastic!

Very Good
CCongbuemodekaixinxiugou_The location is fantastic, just about a 5-minute walk from the subway station and super close to the Bund, making it really convenient to get to all the attractions. The room environment is also great; the sheets and duvet covers need to be picked up from the front desk and put on yourself, but they are very clean and hygienic. The restrooms are separate for men and women, which is convenient, and the views from the common areas are also beautiful. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai!

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.

GGuest UserAbsolutely fantastic! The value for money here is unbeatable. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 2-minute walk from the metro station. The rooms were spotless and tidy. What's more, the common areas also feature self-service amenities and a relaxing tea lounge. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai for either business or leisure.

8.8/10
GGuest UserMy experience at this hostel truly exceeded my expectations. The entire place was clean and tidy; both the common areas and the beds were meticulously maintained, with no strange odors or clutter. The bunk beds were comfortable with clean, soft bedding, and the soundproofing was decent, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff were friendly and patient, promptly addressing any issues, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. The communal bathrooms were cleaned frequently, hot water was consistent, and toiletries were well-stocked – the attention to detail was impressive. The location is convenient, making it easy to get around and go shopping. It offers fantastic value for money. I'll definitely prioritize staying here again next time I'm in the area, I truly recommend it to everyone!
Microflow (Shanghai Xintiandi Branch)
Hotel near Huaihai Road Area/Xintiandi Area, Shanghai
Price per night from:CAD 15
8.7/10
GGuest UserThe room was very clean, and the bunk beds in the dorm room had spacious and practical shelves with combination locks for storage. Most of the guests were considerate; it was generally quiet and peaceful at night. The restrooms and showers were separated by gender, and the disposable toilet seat covers provided a sense of security. The front desk staff was very kind, and they offered free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out (though you have to put your belongings in the storage room yourself, which made me a little worried about others potentially rummaging through them).
There were also a cockatiel and a lovebird in a pet cage in the abandoned (?) cafe on the first floor. I wonder who's taking care of the little parrots 🥹
The only minor drawback was the cleanliness of the washbasin area. It clearly hadn't been cleaned regularly, with limescale, mold, and a lot of hair around the edges. Some guests also washed their dishes in the sink, leaving food residue, which was a bit unhygienic.

8.7/10
GGuest UserThe location was in a lively part of Jing'an, although a little far from Jiangsu Road Station. I enjoyed the bicycle ride to the temple nearby, as it was a pretty neighborhood.
Unfortunately, that is pretty much all the good things I have to say about this place. The facilities, the entire place in general, was old and run-down. I was assigned a bed at the far end of the room where my cell service cut off. Not really the establishment's fault but something worth mentioning in my opinion as the wifi was often slow. A section of the wood of the opposite bunk bed was black and seemed to be rotting. The air smelled moldy. The bed was huge though, which was nice. The place did not seemed to be getting the love and care it needed. The bathroom facilities were tiny with two shower stalls and a toilet (plus another separate one some distance away). It wasn't dirty necessarily but it wasn't exactly clean either. I did not feel comfortable using it however. None of the staff I interacted with spoke English (my fault for not learning some basic Chinese at least). I was disappointed by the quality I was met with since this is apparently the flagship? It wasn't cheaper compared to other hostels either.
I felt bad but had to shorten my reservation and moved to a different place. But your standards might vary.

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.

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.
