Huamin Youth Hostel (Shanghai Bund Branch)

Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. First time,staying at this facility as hostel and had so much fun. First time of staying with mostly Chinese travellers and some foreigners. There is balcony where you can smoke and dry your clothes such as socks and underwears. Some experience watching Chinese's cooking In the morning. There are si⁹x bed-bunk, where I stayed for three nights. A few sleepers were nice and considerate. And 1 or 2 sleeper smoked in the toilet inside the room. Now I am staying at Dengba hostel but really missed the Huamin hostel.

Loved my stay and would definitely book again! The room is cozy, the bed is comfortable. You're near all the touristy action but it still feels homey. The nearest subway connects you to the airport. There's no elevator, so people with lots of luggage should consider that. But if you're traveling light, definitely a great choice!

My room was so dirty I couldn't even count how many people's hair I found on the floor next to the bed and bathroom's floor as well. It's so disgusting. Zero chance that the room was cleaned. I hope they changed bed sheets at least. The bathroom is horrible. I mean you have to take a shower right in the toilet. All the floor and toilet became wet immediately. It took all night to let it dry. That means if you just want to use toilet after shower you can even enter because it flooded. Also there is not hot water. I had to take cold should for two days. Staff don't speak English, not really welcome and none at the reception desk pretty often. Book this place only if it is cheap. Because the location is pretty good and it's close to everything.

It is in downtown area fait price

Overall, my experience at the hotel was positive! The location is conveniently close to the Bund, and the room itself was quite nice. However, there were a few drawbacks. In the four-bedroom category, the washroom lacked a lock, which felt a bit awkward, as it only had a push-and-pull door. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was extremely poor—almost useless—so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. Lastly, there is no elevator, and the stairs are quite steep, making the trek to the reception quite tiring. That's all!

I really enjoyed this hostel, very well located just a 5-minute walk from Nanjing Road! Great value for money and very friendly staff!
