Very nice, cozy bed, nice bathrooms with soap/shampoo, common area+fridge+microwave+etc. available, snacks and drinks sold on the ground floor for returning late at night. You do have to pay a fee for a towel if you want one. Easily accessible by metro and a quick ride to the center city, but pretty quiet close around the hotel itself -- also very accessible to/from Shanghai Station.

All hostels in Shanghai

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.
