Where to stay in Shanghai Municipality
Shanghai Municipality hotels & accommodations

Shanghai is a city where you'll find it very difficult to catch a cab at peak hours. Staying at this hotel doesn't make it any easier, but the hotel location is right across the street from Sheraton Hotel, Parkson, Friendship Mall, etc., and even from Gubei area, it's less than 30 minutes' walk. The staff understood and spoke English pretty well, were very willing t...

We choose to stay at Les Suites Orient Bund Shanghai due to the location right in the Bund and we do not regret , the location is perfect, facing one of the major attractions in Shanghai , the Skyline!! it is just superb, Hotel's staff is very friendly, not as good as another hotels where we've been in China, but good enough still, The hotel and the city was overc...

This is definitely one of the best hotels that I have stayed in. Spent a few weeks going through the reviews of Shanghai hotels in Agoda before settling for a suite in SSAW Hotel Shanghai, and it was well worth the effort. Hotel suite was big, cosy, comfortable with great views, especially from the inviting bathtub. In short, this is a hotel with exceptional value for ...

It was a tough decision for my friend and I to choose hotel in Shanghai knowing the standard and rate in China can be quite different from other countries. We glad that we chose Grand Central despite some reviews said it has slow wifi. We had no problem with it and in fact even VPN works well for me. We love the fact that it is near Nanjing east station and it is very...

First time stay in Putuo District in Shanghai and I decided to book a service apartment convenient for a family of 3 (parents & toddler). Experience: * 07/14 (Saturday) morning arrival: - Mgmt provided the first available cleaned & ready room (master bedroom w/ bathroom inside 2FL). - Informed that there was 2 different room configurations (1 is master bedroom,; 1 ...

i am a traveler, and whether for pleasure or for business, i always make sure that before i select the hotel @ agoda i check on the reviews if ever they meet my requirements. in most asian countries that i have been, i have experienced staying in some citadines chain of hotels and i would say they always satisfy my taste each time. i stayed in three different hotels in...

what a spectacular hotel! its history is enough to sell the hotel, but add to this its excellent location (junction of the bund waterfront and nanjing dong lu retail strip), beautiful art-deco/colonial interior design, and very friendly staff, you will be a fantastic hotel. even though my room (definitely the cheapest one in the hotel) faces a courtyard, the room is i...

The hotel's hospitality is outstanding. They remember the past requests I made and setup everything as I requested (in the past). I have never had such experience with other famous five-star hotels worldwide. The room is gorgeous, nice and clean. China hotels usually have a lot of water related issues, but I never had any issues at all. High floor view is amazing...

I have stayed at this place many times when I visited Shanghai. nevertheless it is one of my favourite place. Location wise it is in the heart of Shanghai. Though it can be difficult to find but with GPS it is not an issue. The room is huge compared to other hotel room. The bed is very comfortable. The internet is fast. One of my favourite hotel in Shanghai.

I booked executive room and it was good choice. Breakfast was good I had better in another hotel in Shanghai. Coffee perfect ! I prefer eat breakfast in executive lounge at 27 floor than lobby because of lot of smell from kitchen. Executive lounge bar open since 6:30 am till midnight and they serve there breakfast, lunch , dinner and all drink including good alcohol...

I have stayed in other hotels in Shanghai previously but this hotel I would say is the best so far in terms of location, cleanliness, helpful staff, good food served at the restaurant and also strong WiFi signal in room. This hotel so near to the Bund just 8-10 minutes walk and many shopping outlets also within walking distance with the famous Nanjing Street just a sto...

There are many luxury hotels in Shanghai and Grand Hyatt Shanghai may not be the one newest, but oh how wonderful their customer service was! I arrived deadly tired at midnight and the receptionist immediately took care of me, offering a complimentary breakfast and room with preferred bed size so that I could rest and enjoy the rest of stay with them. I was able to en...

We’d stayed in IFC Residence from July 25 to August 21. We have to say it is definitely the best apartment hotel in Shanghai, with respect to the location, the staff and the elegant facilities provided. Starting from check-in, you were welcomed by friendly and efficient reception staff. During our stay, whether it was for calling a taxi or for some sightseeing tips, ...

Probably one of the best hotel I stayed in Shanghai the most hip and happening among all three Hyatt in the city. Spent my new year eve count down at the Vue bar, very memorable and unforgettable experience, it offer stunning view of Shanghai both Pu dong and Pu xi view, thought the location of the hotel is at Pu xi side. I would recommend all guest to have a drink at ...

This is my new favourite hotel in Shanghai. I have stayed in 5 hotels in Shanghai in the past two years and this one was the best. We had the studio unit and it has a full kitchen with washing machine/dryer as well. Big room, nice bed, good tv stations and all very well looked after. The hotel restaurant is Element Fresh with a lovely outside seating area on the 6th fl...

We booked into this hotel after being turned down in previously booked HoJo huaihai because we didnt have our original passports which were being returned by consulate next morning. So despite being a chinese hotel, Paramount staff were extremely helpful and customer minded in letting us book and check in late on Sunday evening without our passports. The hotel is quite...

I have been a big fan for all Banyan Tree resorts in Thailand and Indonesia. Wanted to try their new hotels in cities. They have kept the high standard of services and tasteful deco, and added a modern touch in the Shanghai hotel. Staffs are helpful and provided good services. Still recommending Banyan Tree as one of my favorite hotel chains.

Okura Hotel stands out because of its staff . There are many five star hotels in Shanghai but their staff may not provide service which are comparable to the best . Our experience of staying in Okura makes us appreciate dedicated, sensitive and caring staff . When things go wrong the management is immediate at problem solving . We did not have to wait or get frustrat...

It was merely 1 minute walk to Metro entrance. The back entrance leads to the busy and action-filled Nanjing East walking mall. Fantastic spot for food and shop. Just another 500 meters or 15 mins walk, you have the Bund right under your eyes. The abundance of different eateries and other shopping centers around the hotel making selection another headache. We were giv...

Swissotel is to my taste one of the better hotels in Shanghai. Perfect location in Shanghai downtown, helpful staff, speaking pretty good english. Rooms are big, clean and fresh. Check in and check out fast and efficient. Best hotel I tried in Shanghai for sure

This is a large, Chinese, modern, 4 or 5 star hotel, not brand new but a clean hotel. It is almost on the riverfront. You get a choice of river view or other and pay accordingly. There are a handful of restaurants along the river front, and of course the ubiquitos Starbucks. Some are bars, some cafes, some restaurants. Just take yourself along for a wander and expl...

This is an excellent hotel for exploring Shanghai. It is strategically located along the Nanjing Road East Pedestrian Street, the renowned shopping street of Shanghai with abundant dining and shopping options. It is a 10 minutes walk from the Bund. More importantly, it is located close to major metro stations like People’s Square and Nanjing Road East, which are well c...

The hotel located at great location. Surrounded with shopping mall, luxury goods outlet, pub and bar for night life and not far from Nanjing Rd, The Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower. Just walking distance to subway station that can take us to anywhere in Shanghai. Hotel staff are very professional and friendly. Hotel amenity is very good. Very good choice for traveller both ...

Recently renovated, during my 6 week stay in Asia the Jinjiang Metropolo Hotel Bund Circle was clearly the 'best value' hotel of my trip. I originally intended to stay for 1 week, but enjoyed the hotel so much, I extended my stay for another week. Actually the staff deserve 5 stars, but since I only could speak English there were a few minor communication problems. I...

stayed two nights in this hotel had business trip. my supplier recomended this hotel coz its news built. i didnt expect it to be that nice but it was near to perfect. the bathroom, dressing room and also huge bed working table was in just perfect place. i loved the room. and also i loved their cheese cake and coffee. great place want to go back there again in my future...

Still sort of a new hotel regarding to its opening time so all the facilities are in well-condition, with a comprehensive gym room and swimming pool which are fit with those want to keep exercise during your stay. Staff are friendly, great choice for you to stay in Shanghai.
Cheap places to stay in Shanghai Municipality

Pros The location is great, very near to the train station(nanjing east road station) and Nanjing road shopping district. It's also easy to find! You can walk to the bund or renming guangchang. No worry for the food because everything famous like xiao yang shengjian, haidilao, nanxiang can be reached within walking distance. The room is also very clean and there's no...

I love every detail of this hotel, even the smallest one. Was stay here more than 4 weeks. Stay on the 6 person female room and my parents at the King Bed room ont he 2nd floor. The facilities you can get is very worth with the price you pay. The location was very good, 5 minutes walk to the MRT Line 9 (小南门 xiǎo nán mén station Exit 2 or Exit 3), walk straight from th...

This hostel for the price, cleanliness, friendliness of staff and other travellers has to be the best in Shanghai. I ended up staying 4 nights and the staff were more than happy to help a foreigner around town. Not only that, but unfortunately my phone was stolen at the Metro stop. Their employees went above and beyond to help me try to get my phone back, even drivi...

We arrived really late but the hostel had 24h service so that was no problem, the staff gave us really nice information and great tips about where to go in Shanghai and what to look out for. The hostel also had a lot of different transportation information (both inside Shanghai and far out of Shanghai). The hostel had wi-fi in the rooms and really nice food and beve...

although hotel mention they provide shuttle service, but they just don't answer the phone when i arrive shanghai pu-dong airport. So you had better to prepare budget to take taxi (more than 200 RMB from airport to hotel that airport taxi service counter propose) to find hotel on your own.

This makes it three and counting. There’s a good mix of Chinese tourists and temp workers and international travelers to give it an energetic yet relaxed atmosphere. Between the helpful and friendly staff and the interesting guests, I had no problems with communicating despite my lack of language skills. Will stay there the next time I’m in Shanghai for sure, feels li...

We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean our room was (room 4008). A drinking water dispenser was right outside and hot water in the bathroom was always available. Staff spoke English, they have a small library where you can borrow books (Lonely Planet’s Shanghai Guide is a must if it’s available!), and a luggage weighing scale is available for rent for w...

Nothing much to walk around, no shopping mall around, only shoplots with food and grocery shops. Good for people who is on transit or catching early flight coz is very near to airport. Not easy to find transportation. Far away from city. Not really friendly staff Room is clean

The hotel is in a quiet little town call jiading. The room that I had was very clean and quiet. Restaurants, Supermarket, and shopping centre are at walking distance. Moreover, the staff at reception is very friendly and provide us a lot of local information. I wll stay in this hotel again if I pass through Shanghai.

One of the best Jinjiang Inn that I stay in China. Very friend reception and staffs. The hotel is not located in tourist area. It is 12 minutes walk from subway Ningguo. Between the subway and the hotel, there is a Walmart like super center Auchan, McDonald and Starsbuck restaurant and a good bakery in the mall. There are many restaurants near the subway and one street...

Good value for money.. At a very good location.. Very amicable staff.. They don't so much speak English, but use a translator app on their phones which works well.. REMEMBER to load a translator app before you leave for China if you're using an android phone as Google and it's associated platforms don't work at all in China.. So naturally, using 'Google play' to down...

This is one of the cheap and best hotels I ever stayed. Everything was very clean and nice. Bed was comfortable with nice pillows. Of course you do not have space to play football, but you have enough space to keep your suitcase and things. The location is bad (so it is cheap) and hard to find. Most staff do not speak English. You need a translator such as smart phone ...

This is the best place to stay near the Pudong airport. Clean room and friendly staff. 20 RMB taxi ride to the line 2 subway. Free shuttle from and to the airport. Reasonable price and decent breakfast. I am planning to stay here whenever i visit Shanghai.

One of my fellow traveler’s room got broken into from outdoors: as she was getting out of the shower, they knew she was inside. Area generally has a creepy vibe, it’s a bit dirty, drains are bad, and breakfast is pretty bad too. But it’s really cheap, so what can you expect?

I loved the price, internet, TV, and the comfortable AC and bed. The shower worked well also. I also liked that there were a bunch of eateries around the area. You didn't have to look that hard to find them. A huge mall is close by also -- a bus ride away. But, I was a little sad about 2 things. 1) The staff didn't clean the room well and didn't change my sheets un...

the hotel was located next to a mrt station and shopping mall which made travelling and shopping easy. the mrt gives you easy access to all the places in shanghai without the hassle of traffic jams although it can get quite crowdy during peak hours. the hotel rooms were good and clean. the location of the lan cable was strange though. there was no place to put your lap...

Right next to Line 2 Metro so you can easily get everywhere in Shanghai from the "cheap goods at Science and Technolgoy stop to Nanjing road (east or West) and also the Bund and any connecting lines. Localy the hotel is connected to a shopping mall but if you go down into the station you can walk across to the Chamtime shopping area and also good cheap foods.

The hotel is well situated near the Shanghai South Railway station with great professional staff that speak English. Very comfortable with a concierge service that will assist you all hours of the day. Great facilities such as a pool , gym and spa. This was by far my favourite hotel in Shanghai.

I like to stay at this hotel which has unique and classic design and good location. However price is quite high this time. Hotel should provide international tv channels not only local tv channels. Keep give best service to the guests. Will come back again if visiting Shanghai.

with this kind of price its hard to beat this hotel when choosing a hotel in shanghai. The view ? just amazing ! you can see shanghai skyline from the other side the room is very clean the swimming pool is another story , the changing room is smelly and the hot water dipping pool are just gross (mossy) the pool itself is just okay ask for room that facing wes...

Finding a reasonably priced hotel in Shanghai can be a challenge. I have used the ZTE hotel in Pudong several times and have found it well suited for the business traveler on a budget. It is very close to the line 2 subway and thus easy to access the rest of Shanghai from. While most of the staff do not speak English, they work hard to ensure you are checked in efficie...

The hotel surrounding is relatively quieter if compared to The Bund Shanghai. It is a 5 to 7 mins walk to Line 10 MRT station - Yi Li Road station. Hotel is 30 mins drive to Hong Qiao railway station and Hong Qiao airport. If you prefer quietness and do not mind traveling with MRT, this could be your hotel.

we had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. the hotel interior is beautifyl. its too bad that we didnt have the time to have a meal at the hotel as the restaurant looks very decent. the hotel was clean, and the staff were very helpful. we would definitely return as the the price of the hotel was also very reasonable even it was peak season when we stayed (during new year...

good location, near to metro station weinning road, you can go to any directions in shanghai by metro.fashion shopping and indian food restaurant (punjabi) near by.garden to have morning walk, varios banks branch to have currency exchange and business transactions. clean room and good amenities, over all satisfied.

This is a business hotel right opposite Shanghai Futures Exchange building in Pudong District. It lives up its 4* rating in almost every aspect - staff, facilities, amenities, cleanliness of the guest room, etc.. I was accompanying two senior citizens for a leisure tour in Shanghai and the reason we chose a hotel in the financial district of Pudong over one in the more...

I am from Hong Kong and went to Shanghai from 28/11 - 1/12 for a business trip aim at attending an exhibition at Shanghai NECC. The location of hotel is excellent, just less than 10 mins walk (simply cross over a bridge) and you will arrive NECC. I had a lot of wonderful experiences when staying at the executive floor. For the breakfast buffet, you will be directe...

This was our second time at the Green Court Diamond. First time 32 days, 25 & 7 with Agoda, then 20 nights again with Agoda. Listen this place is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC FOR THE MONEY AND HAS THE BEST FACILITY OF ITS KIND AMONG SERVICED APARTMENTS IN SHANGHAI . We decided to check out One Sunland Place on the subway, and Lanson Place across the street from the the other G...

Hotel is located almost center of Shanghai. Lovely old building completely updated to modern design. Rooms are large and service staff kept room clean.Located next to Metro Lines and shopping areas. Walked to the Bund and surrounds easily. Must be the best value Hotel in Shanghai with beautiful gardens,Shopping and metro within area.

The room was homey, there were even washing machine (include detergent powder) and microwave inside the room. You can buy foods the night before and re-heat them for breakfast. The room was also clean and neat although the bathroom was very small. There were compliment foods inside the room which you could have them for free, they even put ice cream in the fridge! The ...

We were staying in Shanghai for 2 nights and booked this service apartment after getting a good rate online. And it was one of the best hotels I've stayed in. Though a service apartment, it is no less than a 4 star hotel. Clean room, with washing machine, microwave, hot plate and a rice cooker. English speaking staff, great breakfast and great location. Just a 1-2 minu...

After reading about 25 reviews of hotels all over Shanghai, I decided to book a night in the Purple Mountain. Of course the hotel is a few kilometres away from the centre, but that should be clear from one look on the map. It is very close to public transport, and that is one of the main advantages: take the Maglev, change trains and a few minutes later you leave Centu...

Great hotel at good price for its quality. It's very close to Hongqiao Airport T2 and Hongqiao Train Station. You can walk to both from the hotel but be aware it's not signed well and few locals in the area speak English to ask directions! If you are flying into T1, it is quite challenging getting to T2. There is a Metro line underneath (only one stop) but you have...

Good Dim Sum at its Ginger 15 cafe. Room is clean with spacious bathroom and tub. Next to Metro station, and shopping complexes for food and shopping. Staff is not as friendly and helpful to be expected from a 5stars hotel but still above average compare to other Shanghai hotels of the same grade. Good value as the Hotel recently has a 30% discount promotion, otherwise...

we had a pleasant stay in radisson blu shanghai. hotel pick-up was on time and their vehicles new. check-in and out was fast. the cake shop on the ground floor had a really good pie, at least, the one we ordered. we were not wanting in amenities. the location is excellent. everything we needed is within reach.

Didn't hear about this hotel in Shanghai previousely. Booked it due to some coincidence. However, a very new one with nice interior and exterior design. Staffs were helpful, breakfast was good. Very close to shopping zones, metro and train station. A very good choice in Shanghai for its price.

What I love about the W chain of hotels is that you are always assured of a certain standard. I've stayed at other W's as well and I have never had any complaints. The same goes for the W Shanghai.

We have stayed at many Jin Jiang hotels in China, but this was our first time staying at the flagship hotel in Shanghai.
