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.

- Avg. price/night: US$179.99Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,479 reviewsI 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!Guest review byJanSolo traveller

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.Guest review byAnnieSolo traveller
