Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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 was the best hostel I've stayed in so far. It was very clean and the staff was always very helpful. The common area was an open space connected to the terrace and appeared very bright and inviting. I was lucky with my roommate, we got along very well and it made the stay really satisfactory.

Simple youth hostel, good location, staff was friendly. The bed unit is fine, curtain, plug and a locker. I was in a room for 4.

I had an amazing stay at Dayin! The hostel was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. But what really made my stay stand out was the incredible staff, particularly Roya, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and supported. Her kindness, knowledge, and enthusiasm made all the difference. The hostel's atmosphere was also great, with a cozy common area and an open bar that made it easy to meet new people. Highly recommended!

This is the best hostel that I have ever experienced in China! With quite a low cost you can get a good living condition in the big city Shanghai. I arrived at night and the court impressed me a lot, it was beautiful and people were relaxed in the court, the room was warm and well-I had a good sleep. the staff there were so friendly and helpful too me. Will get back here when I go to Shanghai again next time.
