Narada Boutique Hotel Shanghai Yu Garden — Attraction in Shanghai

First off it is not the most fancy hotel in the area, but with the price you can't go wrong. Rooms are clean and quite. Wifi is free. Receptionists with good enough English are all very friendly and extremely helpful. They helped us with directions and maps and even helped us make phone calls to clarify questions with our tour operator. They called taxi for us and talked to the driver to make sure we got to the correct destination. We booked both with and without breakfast. If you don't have to leave early, please book one with breakfast included. You will be pleasantly surprised. Breakfast is open at 7am. and stays open until 10am. Breakfast is a 5-star hotel standard with lots of selections. Late night snacks for all guests opens between 10pm to 11.30pm. on the 4th floor restaurant. They also offer laundry room and pretty complete gym. No pool. They provided 2 bottled water in the room plus 2 more and some sodas in the fridge all for free. If you need more, you can always get some extra in the lobby. So no water shortage. Location is about 20 minutes walk to the Bund. About 5 minutes from subway station and 10 minutes from Yu garden area where there's a lot of shops, street food vendors and restaurants. Hotel corridor is designed with minimum lighting, so we have a little trouble opening the doors and looking for the key activated switch if you come back after dark. BTW, the hotel's name in Chinese is Shanghai Chung Xing Jun Ting Chiu Tien. No taxi drivers knows what SSAW or Narada hotel although they're referring to the same hotel. Lastly, please download your web browser with something other than Google's. Google including Google's map, YouTube etc. are completely blocked in China. You can still use iPhone map although is sometimes not accurate either. Don't worry, Google is still tracking you with...

Nice hotel in a strategic location in Shanghai, close to Yuyuan Garden (5-10 min on foot) and close to Subway Line 10 Yuyuan Garden station (5 min to the east) from where to reach Hongqiao railway station and airport as well. Hotel rooms are clean and large enough. Room on higher floor with nice view (our to the north) though nothing particular. Breakfast with good variety of chinese, oriental and western food, on request chef will prepare fired eggs or omelette. Good service from staff, welcome staff at reception have professional attitude. Neighborhood is ok. You also have Dashijie subway station close (a bit farther away than Yuyuan Garden sta., 8 min to the west, but you have different lines so might be convenient depending on...

Good location. Just walk away around 100m from Subway. Around 100m to the high end shopping arcade. It’s around 500m to Yu Garden and 1km to Shanghai Bund. All of them can be reach by walking. It’s about 10 minutes walking to Shanghai Bund. The hotel itself has a good variant breakfasts. It’s tasty but all the morning has the same menus. A bit boring if you stay longer. When i slept there, it’s on renovation period. So it’s about messy outside of the hotel. One thing that i really like this hotel was, it has a FREE supper start at 22:00 every night. The corridor at 2nd floor a bit smelly. This was not nice for me. Even though over all it’s a nice hotel but a...
