Excellent
GGuest UserI stumbled upon this place by chance and was pleasantly surprised! The room was clean and hygienic, the environment was great, and it wasn't noisy at night. The public areas had complete facilities. It's a shame I didn't find it when I first arrived in Shanghai. The environment is really good, and the bedding is clean, though you do have to put on the sheets and duvet covers yourself. In the shared rooms, each person gets a locker that requires a key card to open, which feels very secure.

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 UserFirst time in Shanghai, and this hostel is conveniently located in a building with easy elevator access. I stayed in a four-person dorm. The room was a bit small, but the natural light was decent, and having an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. My main gripe is getting into the top bunk; the ladder design makes it quite difficult to climb, you really need to brace yourself to get up there. The front desk service was good. What I really loved was meeting people from all over China and even other countries, and the hostel hosted various activities. It really fit my impression of Shanghai as a diverse and inclusive city.

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.
