Hotels in People's Square, Shanghai

Great central location walkable to the bund, Nanjing pedestrian street and nearby city attractions! Front of house team were attentive albeit less responsive through WeChat would be my only criticism.

Hotel was located conveniently in the heart of Shanghai, plenty of food options around the hotel (小杨生煎, 莱莱小笼, Luckin Coffee, Chagee, HeyTea, etc.) and many malls around. You can take a stroll towards the Bund and it'll be a nice walk (with a lot of stores to check out) The subway/metro/train is a really close (like 2-3 min walk) The hotel staff was really friendly and helped to upgrade our friends so we get to stay next to each other! There's a small gym and washer/driers in the hotel (tho; they get filled up pretty quick at night - do it in the early morning to avoid the crowds) Will definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit!

I do NOT recommend this hotel; do not come if you are disabled, old or in a wheelchair. I came with my aunt and a lot of the rooms are not accessible by elevator. I calculated and one you enter downstairs, it took me 4 minutes walking to get into the room which is huge compared to other hotels. The little bench in the entry was stained. There are some holes in the walls. The room doesn't look like the pictures at all!! And it's pretty dark even when all lights are on. There is a glass window between the shower and the bed, which made it super uncomfortable to shower (the one in the bed can see you even with the curtain down bc it is not thick enough). You can see my aunt in the picture, imagine when we had to shower. Only acceptable for couples, undecent for family or friends. The staff didn't accept to change me to a more accessible room even if my aunt is 72 yo and back problems!! For that matter, Trip refunded me about a fourth or a fifth the booking which isn't a real solution for that. Breakfast was ok but once there was a dirty plate, tried to give it to the waiter but she just told me to use it. What was i suppose to do with it, put it back for others? The mats of the hallways aren't high-end at all. The lobby indeed is but not the rooms, they are not all worth the pictures. Please note that there are around 40 rooms upstairs where i was, where you are likely to be housed, you need 2 different elevators and walk one floor. Other cheaper hotels in shanghai will make you feel more the ”high end” experience. The price isn't justified in my opinion. Thanks to the cleaning ladies who where always so kind.

The hotel has a very convenient location — right by the main pedestrian street, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and easy access to the metro. There’s a small gym, and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, they even let me check in an hour early after a long flight. Breakfast was decent by Chinese standards. The only downside was that my room had no view of the city, but on the plus side, it was perfectly quiet and I couldn’t hear any noise from the busy street, which made it easy to sleep. Overall, a good stay for the price.

We had a wonderful stay at Meta Tree Hotel Shanghai from 20–22 June 2025. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was impressive. The front desk executives were incredibly professional and courteous, accommodating our late check-in smoothly without any hassle. Their warm welcome and attention to detail truly set the tone for our stay. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable—perfect for relaxing after long days exploring the city. The location is also excellent, with easy access to local attractions and transport.

Great hotel. Friendly staff. Always ready to help. Room perfectly clean. Great value for money. Breakfasts were served in the cafe opposite. The hotel was one of the stops on our honeymoon, the staff gave us flowers, a box of chocolates, made swans out of towels. It was very nice. Upon check-out they also gave us a postcard and Shanghai cream. I have only pleasant impressions of the hotel. I recommend it.

Exceptional Stay - Outstanding Service! We had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. From the moment i arrived, the staffs were incredibly helpful, attentive and professional. Their warm hospitality and willingness to assist with anything we needed truly made our stay feel comfortable. Breakfast perfectly fine for elderly and provided late porridge. Laundry service is good too! Location is also perfect, walking distance to major attractions. Though the room size is slightly smaller than kthers, it does not affect our stay. Understand it located at golden area. Overall, we would stay again if go shanghai, and highly recommend to anyone looking for great service and convenience.

The room was super cozy and clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were super friendly and made me feel really welcome. The pool was amazing, and breakfast every morning was delicious with lots of options. Plus, the location made it easy to get around and explore. I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in town!

We stayed at The Bund Puyan Hotel for three nights, and it was a pleasant experience overall. The room had decent space and came with a nice view, which was a bonus. The hotel itself looks old but is very well-maintained, giving it a charming character. The breakfast, however, was a letdown—very limited options and no live cooking counter. If you’re someone who skips breakfast, this won’t be an issue. The location is a strong point, just a 10-minute walk to Nanjing Road and 15 minutes to The Bund. The staff were the real highlight—exceptionally helpful and kind. When I fell sick, they guided me to the nearest government hospital and gave clear advice on what to do. A special shoutout to Jiang Yu Fei, who went above and beyond by arranging a last-minute 6-seater taxi to the airport when I struggled to book one through the Didi app. Big kudos to the team! While the breakfast could improve, the location, upkeep, and outstanding staff make this a solid choice.

We are a family of 4 with 2 kids 2 adults from Singapore. Clean hotel, convenient to shopping area at Nanjing road, lots of food options at shopping area, walking distance to The Bund! And most importantly the price point is very reasonable! Me and my family love our stay! Definitely come back to those hotel if we come back to Shanghai! See you again Crystal Orange At Nanjing!
