The heart of our hostel lies in our warm and inviting dorm rooms. We encourage our guests to mingle and make new friends. The dorm rooms are an important contributor to this aspect of Sleeping Dragon.

Due to the classical nature of our building, our dorm rooms are rather large. However, they manage to be warm and cozy, with spacious high ceilings and ornate balconies. Each comfy bed has it's own light and shelf for keeping your stuff, as well as an electrical outlet. Linens are included in the bed price. Also included is a key to locker where all of your belongings will stay safe. The brand new toilets and showering room are just across the hall, for easy access.

We have both mixed dorms (¥45) and a 6-bed female dorm (¥50). We also have rooms for those who require a little more privacy. Prices are seasonal and per person per night. Ensuite rooms include a private bathroom.

The Sleeping Dragon is nestled right in the heart of bustling old town Shanghai, an area bursting with Chinese culture and lifestyle.

Warning: While Sleeping Dragon Hostel has clean and modern rooms, facilities and conveniences, we are located in a very colorful, traditional Chinese neighborhood. Come here to get a taste of what life in Shanghai is really like.

We are also located within 5 minutes (2 blocks) walking distance of the convenient metro line 4, to connect you with the rest of this fascinating and modern city [for metro map, click here]
