Traveling alone? This hostel in Shanghai is a safe haven!

Last weekend, I went to Shanghai alone with a tight budget and found a female-only hostel near Jing'an Temple on a booking app. The bed was 80 yuan per night, and I stayed two nights—way better than expected. Cheap and decent. Two nights for 160 yuan, and the deposit was refunded quickly. For this price in the city center, having a safe and clean place to stay that includes internet, hot water, and luggage storage is a great deal for students. Everything is close by, saving a lot of time. Just a few steps from the door is the subway station, so dragging luggage isn’t tiring. The train station is only two stops away, so no stress catching early trains. If you want to visit Jing'an Temple or find a cafe to sit in, it’s just a 10-15 minute walk, saving money on transport and the hassle of finding your way. Rest well to have energy to explore. The room isn’t big, but the bed is kept quite clean. The blackout curtains work great—pull them closed and it’s pitch dark, which is important for a good sleep. The roommates are disciplined, moving quietly at night and early in the morning, so I was never disturbed. The shower has strong, hot water that washes away the day’s fatigue. Overall tidy and comfortable. Both the common areas and rooms are kept clean, no dirt or mess. The lobby has seating and plenty of power outlets, making it easy to charge phones and laptops. There’s a water dispenser and a microwave for heating simple meals. The front desk is responsive and efficient. Check-in and check-out are smooth, and if you need directions or a little help, they answer quickly and clearly, saving time. Perfect for students or backpackers who want to save money but don’t want to stay in a bad place. The key is safety, convenience, and a good night’s sleep. The money saved on accommodation is just enough to enjoy a few more baskets of Shanghai soup dumplings. . 🎠 Oriental Paris Female Youth Hostel (Shanghai Railway Station Branch) ✨ 3rd Floor, 360 Hengtong Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai
