JJingmozhuliunianI specifically booked this old Shanghai villa guesthouse, expecting a vintage-style renovation, but it turned out to be genuinely old! The house is ancient, the furniture is ancient, and it still retains many old artifacts. There are also signs of use from what feels like decades ago. It was a great experience, allowing me to soak in the gentle, slow-paced life of Shanghai. Nanchang Road is right downstairs, making city walks incredibly convenient. It's a fantastic spot for photos, though my ultimate destination this trip was Lhasa, so I didn't bring many nice clothes, but I did get some good street shots. It even fulfilled my wish to cycle, something I couldn't do in Qingdao, haha! Very good, very good indeed~

GGeiorgiestravelsThis hotel has different room layouts so it is important to choose correctly.
I initially booked the lower bunk with shared facilities which is in effect like having a bottom bunk in a hostel except here is a door to your own space.
I shifted my arrival dates thus had to switch to a different room type: the single ensuite. I cost a bit more but was well worth it.
I thought the room was well designed and the perfect solution for those who do not like to waste money on a hotel room…just want a clean and convenient place to sleep.
The room had a single bed with an ensuite. The floor space was only sufficient to open the door, but other space was well designed. The space under the bed was sufficient for my multiple bags. Comfortable bed. Next to the headspace of the bed there were to shelves plus additional hooks to hang clothes…making 10 hooks in total….plus multiple hangers. Also next to the bed were additional light switches so you need not get up to turn off lights. There were two bottles of water, topped up each day, tissues, free earplugs and a small bin so while in bed you did not need to reach for the bin next to the bed or in the ensuite. These touches showed the thought put into the design during refurbishment of the space.
The shower room was small but I had no problems. Shampoo and shower gel included as well as toothbrush and comb. Small mirror in ensuite and long mirror on wall. Wall mounted hairdryer. The towels are disposable type, not my preference and I used one alongside my travel towel.
Housekeeping came each day to empty bins and top of water. The lady was very nice and upon noticing that I had been ill for a couple of days, inquired after my health and checked that I had medicine.
There is a laundry; need to scan a QR code to use the program to pay. 8rmb for a wash and dry is a bargain.
Near reception there is a microwave, water dispenser to get hot water, tea on tap as well as a wide selection of free tea bags, instant coffee as well as ground coffee machine & candies.
The room has vents for air circulation on all the time (no windows) and a separate air conditioner control. When arriving I automatically turned on the air con, that night I felt uncomfortably warm. The aircon temp could not go lower than 18 which is reasonable except the temperature felt much higher than 18, and even though the fan speed sounded louder at different speeds it caused no movement in air. On the 2nd day I experimented with leaving the air con turned off….it was much cooler than when on so I did not use the air con again during my stay and was not too warm again.
Location: West Nanjing road stop is on line 2 meaning no changes for Hongqiao or Pudong airports. It is also a connection for lines 12&13 making it easy to get anywhere in the city. The hotel is about 10-15min walk from the metro, which did not bother me at all, and I also made use of the many public bicycles. The hotel has responded to previous feedback as the instructions prior to check-in had detailed instructions from multiple dropping off points. I found the hotel no problem…it is on the 4th floor of a small building within a complex. When I went out on the first night, I came back to find that door locked, but it was easy to get back in by following the instructions from an alternative drop off point.
Points to consider:
- The walls of the ensuite are glass thus may be an issue if sharing a room
- The walls are thin and sound travels so not good for a very light sleeper. I stayed 10 nights and on only 2 nights did I have a noisy neighbour
- you may feel to cramped of travelling with large case.
- the rooms on the inside have no windows. The continuous air circulation may cause dry eyes and throat when waking up. When in the room I sometimes left the door open to not feel stuffy.
is new and modern. It was always clean. It is great value for money, especially considering it is in the city centre.
I stayed 10 nights.

XXiatianOverall, it's quite cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the spaces are quite generous. The host was very attentive, always online when I messaged them, and frequently checked in on how my stay was going. The location is excellent, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping right outside. Public transportation is convenient, and the place was easy to find. The lighting in the room was just right, and the temperature was comfortably warm. It was a great experience!

GGuest UserBecause I'm quite particular about my accommodation, I spent a lot of time choosing and finally settled on this place. The hygiene is good, and the room layout is excellent. There are plenty of food options nearby, and robots even deliver takeout to your room. The service is also great; I spoke with the front desk lady and was able to get a late checkout. It's definitely worth the price, and I'd choose this place again if I have the chance.

GGuest UserI was staying in Shanghai for Disneyland and wanted a reasonably priced hotel that’s near a Metro. I found the Hanting Hotel on Google, but it says the nearby Pusan Road station is ‘permanently closed’ which isn’t true at all! The station is fully operational so Google is wrong.
As a traveler, use exit 2 of the Metro, because that’s the only one that has an elevator to the street. Nobody wants to schlep 2 suitcases up the stairs. Once you check in and stow the luggage, use exit 4 of the metro on your next trips to avoid crossing streets because Chinese drivers are *******.
The staff at the Hanting are really nice, but don’t speak English. So pre-load Google translate in advance and download Chinese Simplified language. Type your message to them in English, Google will translate it and the staff will reply on their phones using a translator. It works. And btw, Google does not work in the PRC which is why you have to do this ahead of time.
My room was advertised as non-smoking, but clearly a smoker used it before because the evil smell of cigarette smoke hit me the moment I walked in. Luckily the windows open in the room, so the smoke smell was mostly gone after 2 days except for the bathroom. So the air filter in the bathroom must be jammed with smoke particles, because it never went away even though housekeeping sprayed disinfectant. The rest of the room became acceptable.
The air conditioning unit was thankfully working, so I kept the room at a nice 21 degrees Celsius. Some hotels disable the A/C in the cooler seasons and force you to accept a centralized temp, so I was happy that Hanting allowed me to set the temperature of my own choice.
The room was generally nice (aside from the cigarette smell) but I was really puzzled about the lack of a dresser or a closet or anywhere to store clothing. There is also no clock in the room and no refrigerator or access to a microwave.
The amenities were standard. Wi-Fi (the staff has to help you set this up), hair dryer, US compatible outlets.
The best part: free breakfast! Westerners might be dissatisfied with just toast and OJ but Asians would love the breakfast spread of vegetables, sausages, fried rice, steamed buns, corn, steamed sweet potato, congee, tons of toppings and flavorings for congee.
The surprise was full access to a washing machine and dryer for FREE! The machine provides soap, so all you need to do is load and press the buttons. The staff is willing to help. So after a long day at Disneyland, just load up the washer, take a shower, go back down and use the dryer and everything is fresh for the next day at Disney.
I suspect that the hotel is not truly aimed at Western tourists. It’s a little off the beaten path, and it seems all of their guests are Asians. I am mostly satisfied, but damn, that cigarette smell.
