Weiliu Youth Hostel (Shanghai People's Square Jing'an Joy City Branch)

This hostel has no rules, you can do whatever you want at any time of day and in any room: noise, constant farting, etc. The bestialities do not end there, I was really disgusted with the communal bathroom, which is used by all, men and women, not just that those toilets are all pooped up, and I even found poo on the floor of one, but also, hawking and spitting from the bottom of the lungs goes on there all the time by local men and women. As if the hostel is a Tuberculosis ward, and these are all young Chinese people, and they caugh, hawk and spit like the worset Tuberculosis dying patients and they spit into showers and sinks and everything splatters arround, all the putrid bacteria and god knows what, all over the sink. It is known since 19th century that spitting spreads deseases and it was banned in public in Europe 100 years ago, In many countries you pay huge fines if you spit in public, but here, in this putrid hostel, they allow people to do this uncivilized and contageous thing in the public bathroom that everyone uses. It is disgusting. I saw a young Chinese woman in the communal bathroom, as she was just passing by the bathroom sinks, she just turned, hawked and spat there like any local man, and all this in my presence. It was disgusting, you have to brush your teeth over that sink and wash your face and hands, where her spit splattering all over. Just, unbeliveable! I said it was disgusting, and she came to me close to my face and with that mouth that just spat said: "what is disgusting, what is disgusting?" I told her it was her spit and her hawking and spitting. And, she was looking so surprized, as if this was the most civilized thing to do. So, be prepared for these. I wore my mask and ear plugs all the time, my ears are hurting from plugging them for days. This is very unhygienical place, not a place with a hostel vibe, but a cheap place for locals to stay. Bring your alcohol wet wipes and desinfecting spray with you, if you still decide to stay at this hostel. And good luck.

Worth it for the price. You get a single room to yourself which was bigger than i thought it would be. Toilets are shared, note that they dont provide shower slippers. Overall a no frills hostel that is decently clean, slightly run down due to wear and tear but still a pleasant stay. Service wise the male receptionist was nice but the female receptionist had a bit of an attitude which i dont appreciate. They have dyson hairdryers though

Very nice and welcoming staff. They let me access to my room 2 hours earlier and checkout a bit later as well. Very convenient.

The hostel was good. The little single rooms are very cozy and comfortable and even though there were a lot of people in my hallway it wasn‘t very noisy. The bathrooms were not the cleanest but I guess it‘s always like this at these kind of hostels. The staff spoke english and were nice and helpful.

This hostel, although modern, is extremely dirty, I do not recommend it to anyone. I have visited a lot of hostels during my travels and I have rarely come across dirty establishments at this price. The toilets are not cleaned, the trash cans are not emptied and there are constantly leftover expired food in the common areas. The clientele is 90% Chinese and no one speaks English. This is clearly a hostel intended for Chinese and not for internationals, as the name might suggest. I was disappointed with my experience and do not recommend this experience to anyone.

Good for solo youth who is looking for a small private room similar to capsule hotel but more facilities. You get to have a small sort of desk and chair to work on your laptop. The place is quite well-equipped with shared bathroom, soap, hair dryer, small towel, waching machine+dryer. There's a limit time used of hair dryer and washing machine due to loud noise as well, around 9am-10pm (check the sign again). You might wanna prepare your own shampoo, conditioner, and slippers for bathroom. Toilet and trash can are cleaned every morning, so at night time will start to be a bit dirty. If you're sensitive about toilet might need to manage your time again. Overall this place fits my personal needs as a solo digital nomad traveler. Walkable to a giant shopping mall where you can find plenty of food, walkable to metro, basic facilities provided. I give 4/5!
