A well-regarded budget hotel and hostel in the French Concession — private rooms and dormitory options in a neighborhood that is by consensus the most pleasant part of Shanghai for independent exploration. Clean, well-maintained, and social; the East Jing An has been a reliable recommendation for budget travelers for several years. Walking distance from the best independent cafés, wine bars, and street food in the French Concession.
Why We Chose It
A clean, well-located budget hostel in the Jing An district offering dormitory beds and private rooms at Shanghai’s most competitive prices. Good common areas for socialising, a shared kitchen, and direct metro access to the Bund and French Concession. A practical base for budget travelers in a well-connected neighborhood.
What Stands Out
- Jing An central location
- Clean dormitories
- Shared kitchen
- Direct metro access
