About

While great recluses hide in the wilderness, greater recluses hide in the city. Da Yin Hostel positions itself as a fully-equipped, comfortable hostel. The lobby features a unique design that integrates brunch, a café, a craft beer bar, and a book bar, offering comprehensive and considerate services for young travelers, business professionals, romantic couples, and leisure vacationers. Each item is chosen to bring guests a unique lodging experience.

The hostel offers full butler service and is equipped with Xiaomi smart home air purifiers, humidifiers, King Koil mattresses, L'Oréal toiletries, mini-bars in the rooms, Kohler bathroom fixtures, Huawei Smart Select fitness equipment, and more, meeting the diverse needs of guests. Additionally, the hostel provides services for group meetings, self-service laundry, and ironing.

On the rooftop, there is a 300-square-meter expansive camping area where guests can enjoy coffee during the day and savor fine wine at night, escaping the hustle and bustle of the city to relax and unwind. Here, you can share green spaces with friends and family, set up tents, toast with craft beer, get close to nature, and make the 'poetry and distant lands' within reach.

Summary of traveller reviews

Dayin Hostel-People's Square & Old Town in Shanghai offers a clean and comfortable stay with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, many of whom speak English. Guests appreciate the convenient location, though some note it's a bit of a walk to the metro. The hostel is well-suited for solo travellers and backpackers.

Was a really good hostel for the price. Cao and Zhang at the front desk are very helpful and friendly. Wish the hostel was a bit more centrally located, but there is a nearby metro that makes the city accessible

I really enjoy my stay at Dayin hostel! It was very comfortable and the staff were lovely (shout out to Cao and Zhang!!!) The beds were comfortable and clean, and the area downstairs was nice for a chat with coffee and beer. Thanks for having us!!
