Dayin International Youth Hostel（East Nanjing Road & The Bund） Reviews

I have a very nice stay and am definitely coming back. They provided a disposal towel and dental kit when requested.

The beds are comfortable and well equipped, there’s plenty of room in the common areas and everything is always clean. The free laundry with soap included is a great advantage when you’re travelling with few clothes. Special thanks to the staff, specially Roya who helped me with everything since my check in!

Second time staying at this hostel. It has a great location and clean rooms. The price is reasonable. Not a party hostel, most guests are Chinese citizens.

This hostel is great. I enjoyed a clean, comfortable private room with an amazing city view. The bathroom has been modern and clean. The socialising area was very welcoming and the staff highly nice and helpful.

Convenience for tourists as the location is just in the heart of the shopping district and tourist attractions. The space in the room is big enough however if you have a big luggage you may need to make sure with the front desk again. The shower room and toilet are functional use and serve perfectly even in the prime time. Sockets and lighting are enough on the bunk bed, and they have a private storage cabinet provided for each of us in the room.

Good location and Cleanliness is the Best reason for this hotel. I upon checking in i was given 1.Pillow cover 2.Bed Sheet 3. Comforter cover 4.and 1 disposable towel * all for 3 nights stay . No Slippers given. ( i have seen others given slippers ) Hence no consistency in amenities. Given 1 disposable towel for a 3 night stay is also questionable. Breakfast was from 7 am . I arrived 0727 am but was told coffee can only be served after 8 am .

Good hostel with good facilities and the bar has a good vibe. It is also very close to The Bund which is beautiful especially at night. However, the only thing I don't understand is that you have to dry your towel and hang it in the public toilet right next to the sinks, which I think is incredibly unhygienic. I would recommend putting hooks in rooms to solve this issue.

I’ll review the hostel in terms of bedroom, demographics, location, cleanliness, and facilities. Bedroom: Got a 6-bedroom room, was quite a cozy and comfy place to sleep in, AC was just nice. Room mates were generally respectful and quiet when it was resting time but you if you’re a light sleeper you might get awaken easily when people check in late/shower late. Earplugs are provided though. Blackout curtains were very helpful for privacy and sleep. There are lockers to lock belongings and smaller bags but not huge enough for a luggage. Demographics: This one’s for international travellers haha - most people staying are Chinese, with few foreigners. I did manage to make friends and plans with other international travellers so it is decently international. The front desk is capable of speaking English so no worries on that. Location: Very central location, quite close to the metro and other tourist sites. Has a lot of food and convenience shops nearby. Cleanliness: Decently clean but if you’re sharing room with others then the room might get cluttered with everyone’s belongings. Note that you have to put on the bedsheets, duvet covers, pillow case upon checking in (provided). Facilities: Toilet was decently clean, soap and shampoo was provided, there are hooks to hang clothes on but do bring a plastic bag because your stuff might get wet.

Came directly from the airport, a very short walk from People's Square Park metro station. A 2 minute walk from Nanjing Road and not on a main road so there isn't much traffic noise. Check-in staff spoke English, earplugs and slippers were provided. Washrooms were clean and so were the rooms. Lockers provided fit a small backpack only, no secure storage for suitcases in the room.

I had a really nice experience in Shanghai :) Amazingly located hostel, new, clean and with friendly staff.

This hostel is superb!!! Great location, walking distance to the subway station as well as Seven Eleven, Family Mart and some local mini mart. Definitely come back to stay here when I visit Shanghai again. You can just easy walking to reach Nanjing Road Pedestarian Street and The Bund. Highly recommended 🫰👍

Stay was comfortable and spaces were generally clean and comfortable! The lobby on level 2 is a bar/leisure area, which also accepts guests from elsewhere. There is a gym and quiet space on Level 3 which was nice, since one is sharing hostel bunk beds. Would recommend for the convenient location and friendly service staff! Minor downside is putting up one’s own sheets & taking it down, but minor issues especially given the price and living in the heart of the city! Would recommend!

This hostel experience is so nice to me! The location is strategic to Nanjing East Road 南京东路 and many shopping malls nearby. One more thing makes me feel excited is there is a bar / cafe at the resting area~ Staff is friendly especially a staff called “Xu” because he prepared me the breakfast😍 I really enjoyed staying here. Highly recommended to people who want to stay at Shanghai

For such a big hostel, I think they’re doing a good job keeping cleanliness especially in the common areas/toilets. This is located off a quiet street near the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street so it’s quite an ideal location with many small local restaurants along the way. The bed was slightly too soft but the blackout curtains allowed for a good night’s rest. Overall a good stay if you’re looking for a very budget option in Shanghai.
