Home Inn Selected (South Square of Shanghai Railway Station)

One of the best value for money options, close to Shanghai station but also in a relatively calm street, has few free parking places, provides 15 yuan coupon in a popular traditional breakfast restaurant opposite to the hotel, has free coffee machine in the lobby, the room is clean, and the staff are proactively helpful. The only challenge I had as a foreigner was to find the exact location since the main photo on the app was confusing to me. It’s better to replace it with the name sign outside the main door!

We had a 14days trip in China, started in Shanghai, we liked this hotel so much that we came back twice , all three times were just as nice. Highly recommended.

The staff are fantastic, as is the location. It’s a short walk to subway lines 1, 3, 4 and  a few minutes further to line 13, as well as Shanghai train station and bus station. There’s an Aldi and a shopping centre about a 15 minute walk away, along with a nice park. There’s lots of restaurants around and also McDonald’s, KFC and Starbucks. I was disappointed to see that I booked a premium room (the most expensive room), but I only had a frosted glass window facing a small ventilation shaft on the multiple occasions I stayed here. Some standard rooms have a street-facing window it seems. It can be a little noisy but is tolerable. I’d stay here again. Thanks to the staff for all being wonderful and making me feel at home.

Nice stay although noone at the reception speaks english and the communication was a bit difficult. But overall all good.

Love the place, right next to the high speed rail station. Food and transportation not a problem.

Very small room. Breakfast is just 15yuen voucher to consume in an opposite restaurant. 8min walking distance from SH Railway station South Gate & metro exit 3.
