China
If you're after a cheap, well-located place to stay in Shanghai, you can't beat the Captain Hostel. There’s a choice of dorms or private rooms and they’re very, very clean.
It's also just off the Bund (taxi drivers will always know that one) and not far from the main shopping strip and metro stations.

One of the very few choices for budget foreign travellers, the Captain's hostel enjoys a prime location on the Bund and sports a pretty decent roof restaurant to boot. It's 20RMB for a bunk; best to book. Though it's possible to get 'Chinese' dorm rooms elsewhere it's not recommended.
