Dawu Xiaozhan Inn (Shanghai Lujiazui Area First Yaohan)

A very good hotel, especially for the price, but if you're only in Shanghai for a short time, it's better to choose an area closer to the center; the city is big, after all. We wanted to go clubbing, but we had big bags after shopping, so we had to return to the hotel and didn't have the energy to go back to the center. 😂 One of the hotel's pluses: there's a yellow snack store nearby, which we really loved during our entire trip to China. We also received all our parcels at the hotel; we ordered a lot))) The sweet girl at reception was very helpful with my parcels, for which I'm very grateful. The guy helped me and my friends carry our suitcases to our room, for which we're also very grateful! If you're traveling from the CIS countries, take chocolates with people who help you; in China, they're practically nonexistent, only small ones :))) For some reason the doors to the shower and toilet didn't close, that's a minus. Overall, a great hotel!

Nice hostel. Found this new hostel just opened and tried staying here. All beds and rooms are in new condition

Had a great stay at this hostel! It’s new, nicely renovated, and in a perfect location to explore the city, just a 10minute walk to the metro. There are plenty of good restaurants and shops nearby for anything you might need. They provide you clean sheets (which you will put on the bed yourself), slippers, a toothbrush, and free coffee or tea. There is also a laundry area available at a very affordable price. At checkout, they allow you to leave your luggage there. The staff at the front desk were super friendly and always helpful, they took care of everything I asked for. The room was clean, it has air conditioning, a comfortable bed and pillow, with a good bathroom and shower. One thing I really liked: each bed comes with a locker you can open with your room card — which is actually rare in hostels in China! The only weird part is that the sink and hair dryer are inside the room, so it can get a bit noisy if someone uses them early in the morning or late at night. But honestly, that’s a small thing; overall I totally recommend this place!
