"Great place for a short stay! Clean and in a great location. Really close to the subway station, you can reach it from the hotel via the elevator. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was very friendly. Exactly as described in the pictures. Would recommend! Extra: there is a coffee machine at the lobby, you can drink a coffee for free! And also there are free water, teas. I have to mention: the walls are thin, so you have to use earplugs for sleeping. (It is also free!)!"

Hotel near People's Square Area,Shanghai
Renovated in 2025, the Tianhua Hotel Shanghai People's Square Nanjing Road Walkway offers both holiday makers and business travelers a pleasant stay in Shanghai. The hotel is conveniently located just 2km from Shanghai Railway Station and 14km from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. In addition, People's Square Metro Station is just a short walk away. With multiple attractions nearby including INS LAND, Shanghai Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial and Xintiandi, guests will find plenty to keep themselves occupied. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. According to our trusted guests, the facilities at this hotel are first-rate. This hotel is particularly popular with those traveling with families.

"The room was very clean and had no strange odors. All the staff were very friendly. I booked a twin room, and the front desk upgraded us to a family room for free when they saw my husband and I had a child. When we were checking out, my husband asked me to buy some water, and the front desk overheard and gave us two bottles of mineral water for free. The service was really thoughtful. The most important thing is that this hotel has a great location. It's only about a 20 RMB Didi ride to the Bund, and the People's Square subway station is just a few hundred meters away. Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is also very close. Even better, this hotel is very close to the Shanghai International Trade Hotel Bakery, just two blocks away. The beef noodles downstairs are delicious and cheap, only 16 RMB a bowl, and they're open until 1 AM. There's also a Shanghai soup dumpling place downstairs that's very tasty, and many celebrities have visited it. This is my honest review, and I hope it helps future travelers."

Hotel near People's Square Area,Shanghai
The Duoyuan Youth Hostel (Shanghai Bund) provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Shanghai will find that the Duoyuan Youth Hostel (Shanghai Bund) is a fantastic accommodation choice. Boasting a convenient location, the hotel is just 4km from Shanghai Railway Station and 15km from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. Just a short walk from Yuyuan Garden Metro Station, traveling to most city destinations is a breeze. Seeing Shanghai's sights from this hotel is easy with Yu Garden, Xintiandi and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street all close by. This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling alone.

"Let me give an objective review of my experience: When I arrived on the street outside the hostel, I saw the name, but once inside, there were no signs indicating which floor the hostel was on. I had to check Trip.com to find out. There were some issues during check-in. The front desk staff seemed groggy, as if they hadn't slept well. I booked a 4-person dorm. Initially, I asked if the 6-8 person dorms also had no lower bunks. The front desk said the 6-person dorms still had lower bunks and asked if I wanted to switch, but couldn't refund the price difference. I suggested canceling my order and rebooking, but the front desk told me it was already confirmed and couldn't be refunded. But I hadn't even decided whether to switch, and you've already confirmed my check-in? Regardless, as a consumer, I have the right to choose. The front desk's handling was very unprofessional. During check-in, the first room card they gave me led to a room full of girls. I have to ask, if I got into a misunderstanding and faced public criticism because of this, would the establishment take responsibility? After that incident, I went back to the front desk. The second time they gave me a room card, the '2' in the last digit looked like a '1', causing me to try swiping into another door multiple times without success. I had to go back to the front desk to find out the last digit was indeed a '2'. It took quite a while to finally check in successfully. When I opened the door, I was stunned. I can confidently say this is the smallest room I've ever stayed in at any youth hostel. Forget about having space for luggage; there might not even be space for shoes. It seemed only one public toilet was usable, and it was a single stall. It could get very crowded. Although the only shower room worked fine, it had a somewhat unpleasant odor. I hope the establishment can improve the smell in the shower room. Other aspects were decent. There's a lounge area, vending machines, and a washer and dryer. I still recommend that the front desk staff who checked me in get some proper rest."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. I arranged a birthday surprise for my girlfriend in advance, including balloons, flowers and a special room decoration. The hotel team was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the whole process. They understood exactly what I wanted and made sure everything was beautifully prepared before we arrived. The surprise turned out even better than expected, and my girlfriend was absolutely delighted. The communication with the hotel was excellent, and the staff were genuinely kind and accommodating. Thank you so much to the entire team for making her birthday so special. We will definitely remember this stay and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Shanghai."

They were flexible in helping with check-in for an impromptu itinerary, so there's no need to worry about accommodation when choosing this place. The airport drop-off times are also flexible and can be coordinated based on flight schedules."

Hotel near Pudong International Airport Area,Shanghai
This serviced apartment hotel is located on Chuannanfeng Highway with excellent transportation access. If driving, take the exit for Chuannanfeng Highway off S1 Yingbin Expressway and head south to arrive. It enjoys convenient surrounding travel connections: a 10-minute drive to the Outlets, 15 minutes to Shanghai Disney Resort, and just 25 minutes to Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

"The front desk staff were attentive and polite, and the price was affordable. They also offer airport transfers. For pickup, you contact the hotel upon arrival at the airport, and they arrange a shuttle on the hour, which is quite reasonable. For morning departures, it's a bus, not the same vehicle as the pickup. Overall, I'm very satisfied and will prioritize staying here for future layovers. Excellent service!"

This hotel is particularly popular with those traveling on business.

"Environment: After spending several days cooped up in small rooms, it was finally a relief to sleep in a spacious one. For this price point, the environment was much better than I expected. My mom had been complaining for days about the humidity in the previous places, so she was really happy to have a dry night here. Facilities: Everything was pretty well-equipped. I found the air conditioning a bit noisy though; perhaps it's just me, coming from the North and not being used to AC. Pudong Airport Shared Transfer Service: This was decent, and quite popular. I took the 4:10 AM shuttle to catch my flight, and it was absolutely packed with people. Cleanliness: It seemed alright, at least visibly there were no issues. The previous two nights, the used sheets and duvet covers were just piled up everywhere."

CNGuest User
Stayed at this hotel for a concert in Shanghai and had a great overall experience. First off, it's super close to the subway, which takes you directly to the Shanghai Stadium in just a few stops. The hotel's cleanliness was excellent; even though the bathroom was shared, someone was always cleaning it – I'd finish showering and someone would be in there mopping right away. The soundproofing isn't amazing, but it wasn't noisy at all. It's perfect for solo travelers attending concerts or events. Oh, and I found the front desk staff really helpful. Someone even personally escorted me to my room, and late check-out was also an option. If my good review could get me a discount voucher or something, that would be even better!

CNXiaoxiaozhicha
Great review! It's a loft with European-style decor, located in a Shikumen alleyway. I loved the small courtyard, perfect for an evening drink. It was clean and hygienic, with one large bed, one small bed, and a sofa. There's a projector and a smart toilet, plus a kitchen fully equipped with utensils, dishes, and seasonings. A microwave is also available for heating food. The hot water and air conditioning worked perfectly. Disposable towels are available for a fee. There's also a washing machine and a drying rack, which is excellent and very convenient for longer stays! The service was very good, and any issues were promptly resolved. It's not far from attractions like the Bund and museums. Sinan Mansions and Tianzifang are within walking distance, with the latter being particularly close and great for a stroll. The sheets and duvet covers were clean and comfortable. The sofa bed comforter was a bit thick, and the large bed's mattress was quite soft – I personally prefer a firmer bed, but everything else was great. Highly recommend!

At checkout, they even gave me a hand cream as a gift, making my trip perfect right until the very end. Thanks to their warm hospitality and the immaculate room, I had a truly wonderful time.

Our stay has been a pleasure. The room is well furnished with all the essentials needed for an holidays of more than one day (fridge, washing machine and dryer). The beds are very soft and there is enough room for luggages. Our room is located in the French concession quarter, an interesting area with a lot of nice restaurants for all the budgets, convenience store and coffee. The service is very kind and helpful: the host has created a weChat group for us, with all the staff to answer our needs, and they provided us all the information days before the checking, ensuring that everything was clear. They bought us also water bottles for our stay. Few negative points to be discussed: the road in which our room (named Rome or ”Luoma”) is located is in a secondary street, unfortunately full of poor maintained house. When we saw the main entrance of the building we thought we were being scammed, since it was a mess with mold and falling paints from the wall, garbage and boxes. Fortunately the room is completely different! Another negative point are the windows that are super thin. Even if closed, you can hear everything from the road (the last night the neighbour were arguing for more than 1 hour and we could hear everything. It was like they were with us in the room!). The curtains are ok for the privacy, but not for the light: at 5 am the light of the sun was so strong that we needed to use eye masks to be able to sleep a little more. In general, our staying has been very pleasant and we suggest it! We hope that the host fix soon the few negative points

This guesthouse is located in an older residential area near Shanghai Railway Station, a bit off the beaten path. It seems to be an older establishment, so the facilities are quite basic, and the cleanliness is a bit lacking; there's a thick layer of dust on the window panes and frames. However, the bathroom has a water purification system, which is great as you can drink directly from it. For Shanghai, the price is quite affordable. It's also close to the railway, so you can hear some train noise.
