Dayin International Youth Hostel - Oriental Pearl & Lujiazui

The staff was very friendly and caring, even arranged someone to meet and guide me to the place. Loved the terrace outside, such a cool vibe with cool ppl from around the world.

The staff and people are amazing and every person told me that this place is unique in Shanghai with its social atmosphere - similar to European hostels. In other places people don't really talk to each other, but here you can sit down and have a great time in the lobby together with other guests and staff members. As one of the few hostels in Shanghai which have the certificate to host foreigners, I found people with a good level of English who helped me a lot (translating), recommended me food to try and places to visit, as well as some other international guests who have lived in China longer gave me great tips. I was also lucky to have some super nice roommates who answered all my questions and fed me when I was in doubt about what to eat here. The staff as well made sure they support me in every way and tried to solve every problem as quickly as possible. I rebooked this place 2 times since I arrived and will probably stay until I cannot find an apartment.

The staff are very nice and speak English Lu Wu are very helpful, check in is very straightforward, provided a clean beddings without extra charge.The room is very clean you have your own privacy with the curtain. Drinks and coffee can be purchase in the lounge area very reasonable price. The whole property is very clean and had a nice relaxing garden.

My favorite things are the tables, chairs, and plants in the yard, as well as warm lighting tones. Every night, scattered friends gather to chat, and the living environment is also very comfortable. If I have the opportunity to come here again next time, I will continue to choose this hotel.

Really nice garden and common area friendly staff, but their English is not really great
