    I had a great stay at dayin in Shanghai. I especially want to thank Tang at the front desk — he was welcoming, helpful, and kind throughout my stay.

  • Paola from Italy – 2 May 2025 (9/10)

    The hostel is super clean, cozy and the staff is English speaking (remember that in china is not common, even in hotels). Super easy check in and the rooms are spacious with private lockers. Sheets are new and clean, toilets are always under cleaning and the hair dryer is a good plus. The only think that comes in mind is about disposable towels that are not very useful so remind to come with a towel for showering.
