Dayin Youth Hostel - East Nanjing Road & People's Square & The Bund

Pros: walking distance to Nanjing Road, metro line 2 portal 19, community setting, self service free laundry, local cheap eateries on adjacent street. Cons: comparibly expensive hotel breakfast compared to local restaurants downstairs, noise echos down hallways but they offer free earplugs in lobby.

Spesially Mr Ze at reseption desk made our stay unforgettable. As a humble and attentiv man he fixed any problem and gave us some benefits when things was not 100%. And tanks to room service that was great. Nice bar and gym. Perfekt for laundry as well

The staff members were amazing, right off of Nanjing Road, loved the common room area.

A great hostel with friendly staff. Feixiao with the reception had been very helpful during my stay. The property is located within walking distance of major tourist attractions in Shanghai. They also have a tap room with a variety of beer selections.

The common areas seemed very nice. The location was good. My room didn’t have a window, which I was warned about in advance, but wasn’t ideal. Everything else was good for the price.

The hostel has a nice shared area and bar. We also got a free upgrade to a slightly larger private room which was very kind of them. The room was still quite small, so the smaller room would have been extremely tight for 2 people with rucksacks etc. Overall the room was great. The only thing which was weird was that the bathroom door was made entirely of glass, so your partner/roommate can fully see you sitting on the toilet, so we had to agree not to move from the bed when the other of us wanted to use the toilet - bit odd. The shower also didn’t drain quickly, so sometimes water got all over the bathroom floor as the shower overflowed. You can also be clearly seen in the shower by your partner if that bothers you. Breakfast cost about £3.50 each which was ok value, but it only alright, quite basic. We got a free welcome drink voucher, which was a nice touch, and there were bottles of water left in the room each day. We picked the hostel for the gym. It was a bit run down - a random selection of weights, a bike whose seat didn’t go high enough, a treadmill with broken edges, and a squat rack (but again not many weight plates). It was better than nothing, but also not as good as I expected. The best thing about the hostel was probably the location. The staff could have been a bit more friendly and welcoming - they always seemed a bit stressed, and didn’t really have much of a customer service personality. But they helped us with everything we needed as best as they could.

フロントの隣りに雰囲気の良いBARがあって、ネット環境も良好です。ビジターのトイレ、シャワーの使い方がよいともっと高評価になると思いました。

Was a nice stay at this hostel, the staff was very helpful and with a very good English. The environment at the lobby is great to meet people and learn about the city and make friends.

Es war ein sauberes Zimmer und ganze Hostel war immer wieder gereinigt, überall, sogar der Lift. Personal war sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Bar war wunderbar mit Getränken gefüllt und jede Abend war gute Musik und gute Stimmung. Wäsche war genug vorhanden und die waren Blitz sauber.

Great beer choices and a gym!

A really clean and nice hostel in the centre of Shanghai. 10/10 would recommendd

Excellent location is superb with only less than 5 mins to People’s Park Square station. Once you Exit 19 from the MRT station, please use google map to make your way which takes only less than 5 minutes to the hotel. I booked the standard room with window view and the hotel highest floor is only on the 4th floor. Modern yet compact room that has all the necessary toiletries provided. It even comes with an air purifier which is necessary I believed to remove the sewage stench smell inside the bathroom. In addition it has free beverages like 2 bottles of natural spring water and 1 can of coke and 1 can of Sprite free in addition to the standard coffee and tea. The wifi is ok but it seems that can only hold for 1 device only as attempt to use another device is restricted but prove me wrong as the day I start using wifi there are issues reported worldwide. There are an assortment of tv programs and movies, etc for free as well as pay per subscription on its 40 inch tv. Most importantly there is also a 7/11 convenience store just opposite the hotel. Many shopping malls and restaurants in the vicinity also.

I booked this hostel was because of the location. It's quite close to the tourist area. 3 mins walking distance to Nanjing Shopping Road (shopping area). 5 mins to the subway (metro). Approximately 20mins walking to the Bund of Shanghai (WaiTan) from Nanjing Shopping Road. You can either take the subway(metro) or 30mins walt from the hotel to Shanghai City God Temple (pronounced as Cheng Huang Miao). Staffs are frendly and willing to help. The room that I have booked (or assigned) is tiny (like a cruise cabin). It's clean and I can see everything new but still smelly due to the Sewerage system of the building (building is quite old and found). Found water leaking mark and mold in my room. However, cannot complain too much for the price I have paid. And I am gonna give 4/5.

とても清潔で使いやすかったです

上海の真ん中にあるのでどこに行くにも便利です。お部屋もトイレも清潔でした。一人部屋を使いましたがタオルも綺麗でした。

Great location. Room was nice and clean!

駅や繁華街が近く移動がしやすい点がとても良かったです。ドミトリー（相部屋）で色んな人がいますが部屋割りも考えてくれていたようです。部屋は個別の鍵付きロッカー有り。清掃も頻度が高く清潔感あり。フロントで日本語対応は無いですが、翻訳機を通して基本的なことは通じました。

Hôtel extrêmement bien situé. Chambre plutôt petite mais très propre, très confortable. Je recommande cet hôtel.

Quite noisy middle of the night.

Minimal space for moving around in the room but high quality just the same. Clean & very comfortable. Some staff highly fluent in English to help with questions. Generous drink tickets available to redeem on site. Food wasn't great but it's very close to walkable shopping/dining and public transportation.

A centrally located low budget hostel. Very close to shopping centers. Close to subway. The facilities are new and well maintained. However, even though its location is great, for how much room you get, it is still a bit pricy. The single occupant rooms here are small. If I can get a spot here at a bargain, I would do it again.

Meget meget larm

깨끗하고 여러모로 만족스러웠습니다. 다만 객실 안에 사물함 잠금 해제할 때 소리가 상당히 큰 점은 조금 아쉽네요. 그 외에는 모두 대만족입니다. 특히 침대가 편안하고, 이불이 매우 따뜻해서 좋았어요.

Veldig sentralt og greit, en del lyder fra gang osv som kom til rommet, men tipp topp for prisen jeg betalte. Anbefaler å ta med håndkle, håndklærne der er engangs, funka bra men ikke så miljøvennlig. Ellers fornøyd :)

Hôtel extrêmement bien situé. Chambre plutôt petite mais très propre, très confortable. Je recommande cet hôtel.

Good staff and location super good

The staff members were amazing, right off of Nanjing Road, loved the common room area.

Está bien el precio, si embargo me quedé unos días antes y se iba de viaje una semanas y volvía al mismo lugar, y NO pude dejar mi maleta y tuve que pagar y buscar otro lugas

Overall , good for its value. The hotel is located in a convenient location in Shanghai and well connected to PVG and SHA. However, hotel advertised themselves as “ pay at property “ but requires one night payment to secure the reservation.

The staff Xin and Iu were very nice, friendly and helpful.

Great location, friendly staff. 24h reception Even got a farewell gift from ze, xin and yi

Was a nice stay at this hostel, the staff was very helpful and with a very good English. The environment at the lobby is great to meet people and learn about the city and make friends.

Friendly and helpful staff. The hostel is new and well kept.

スタッフの対応が丁寧で、深夜もフロントにいます。

Nice location. The only confusion I had was that I didn't know the Chinese Character name and I couldn't search it in the chinese map apps (which you'll need because Google map and apple map that links from Hotels.com doesn't provide route info). But the hostel was quick to respond from the message facility in the app. It was very cozy, and nice stay.

Closer to main street south lots of shipping malls, restaurants, Metro and hop on hop off bus stop.

Dayin located in a nice location closed to People's square metro and shopping street. The room is clean and simple good for 2 persons. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Great location. Close to metro, shopping, food.

Super location, one of best hostels I have stayed in

La ubicación esta excelente, incluso para el Bund me fui caminando, y super cerca esta una calle turistica con muchas tiendas.

The hostel is pretty good! The location is amazing greet close to the Nanjing Road, and easy access to the subway. Only detail is the check-in starts at 2:00 pm and not at noon. But it wasn’t a problem since we could leave our luggage in the lobby. The room conditions are pretty good too.

フロントの隣りに雰囲気の良いBARがあって、ネット環境も良好です。ビジターのトイレ、シャワーの使い方がよいともっと高評価になると思いました。

Es war ein sauberes Zimmer und ganze Hostel war immer wieder gereinigt, überall, sogar der Lift. Personal war sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Bar war wunderbar mit Getränken gefüllt und jede Abend war gute Musik und gute Stimmung. Wäsche war genug vorhanden und die waren Blitz sauber.

Great beer choices and a gym!
