Pros: 1. Prime Location - Hotel is perfectly located at Nanjing Road, one of the busiest and most popular shopping streets in Shanghai. It is literally surrounded by a stretch of shops, eateries and street vendors. Plus, there is an alley behind the hotel where you can enjoy great local food. 2. Nearby amenities - Just across the street near the Conrad Hotel is a massage place that's ideal for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing / shopping. Super convenient and affordable. 3. Clean and Tidy 4. Friendly and Helpful staffCons: 1. Small reception area - The reception area, while functional, is on the smaller side. There’s not much space to stand if you’re waiting in line, and it can get a bit crowded, especially when several guests are checking in or out at the same time.2. Stairs to reach the lift - One major downside is the flight of stairs you need to climb to reach the lift lobby on the second floor. If you have heavy luggage, this could be a bit of a hassle, especially after a long day of walking around the city.3. Tiny Lift - The elevator is incredibly small. It barely fits a few people along with their luggage, so it might feel a bit cramped, particularly during busy times when everyone’s heading to their rooms at once.4. Noise Levels - Given the hotel’s central location on Nanjing Road, the street noise can be a bit overwhelming at times. If you're a light sleeper, you might find the hustle and bustle of the area a little disruptive, especially at night when the crowds linger.Overall, for the price and location and the hotel offers a solid option for those looking to stay right in the heart of Shanghai. The friendly staff, cleanliness and proximity to shopping and dining make it a convenient choice...
Read moreConveniently located in the very popular Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street. I took the Maglev from Pudong airport to Longyang Road station and change to metro line 2 to People’s Square - Total journey only for about 30mins. Then follow the road sign towards Nanjing Pedestrian St. Take the escalator up and walk for less than 5mins, turn left after you see the big sign board PANDORA on the right hand shopping mall. The staff at the counter are very helpful. You can help yourself to the free items on the counter such as ice cooler pad which was super useful due the hot weather in June, hand mask, mosquitoes patch and eye mask. The room I had on the 6th floor was spacious and cleaned daily. The hotel is directly opposite Shanghai First Food hall and there are plenty of restaurants and fastfood near by. It’s possible to walk to the bund on foot and travel by metro to most of the attractions. U can take metro line 8 then change to line 11 to Disneyland. Just make sure u have access to Alipay or unionpay and download Baidu map which is very useful! I booked two nights at 1st but i was so happy with the hotel and location that I extended another night. Btw, take note that Yu Yuan is not open on Monday and for this hotel, you need to take stairs to the 2nd floor to take the lift. However I did see that the hotel installed a stair lift chair but not sure if they...
