"The time for this business trip was a bit tight. This hotel is close to Pudong Airport, about 20 minutes by car. The check-in efficiency was very high, about three minutes, and the questions were answered patiently. When checking in, there was a small welcome fruit in the room, just enough for one person. The breakfast was also very rich. There were not many people eating breakfast at around 8 o'clock, and it didn't feel like a busy city. The room was large and tidy, with a desk and recliner. It is highly recommended for business trips."

"The room is not big, not as good as the Seasons Hotel at the same price. The facilities in the room are not complete. The toothbrush and comb were only given once, and there were no cotton swabs, etc. There was no paper towel either, and it was replenished the next day. The used bath towel was not changed, and there was a lot of hair from the previous guest when I opened it. It was very noisy in the morning. They were building a house or repairing the road next door. I woke up at 6 o'clock, and there were no mosquitoes. The room is more than 200. It's not worth more than 300. The Seasons Hotel in Shanghai at the same price is very good. It's too stingy to put a toothbrush and comb in the room. The beautiful lady with glasses at the front desk on the first floor provided good service."

"Take the kids to experience nature on the weekend~~ I have booked so many hotels on Ctrip, and it seems that this is the first time I have received a free upgrade~~ The room is large, clean and sanitary, and the activity space for a family of four is very suitable, one bedroom, one living room + one yard, and the children like it very much. The taste of the food is also great~~ The best thing is the thoughtful and considerate service of the boss."

"Stayed here for a couple of months, few times a year for business trip. Location is good as it’s close by to shops, restaurants and automotive companies. Breakfast was OK mostly local cuisine not much international/western options. This hotel provide free self service laundry (washer & dryer). Furnitures seem outdated but for the price its OK I guess? The carpets are the biggest let down as they look dirty and worn down. The aircond are not that good took some time to cool the room."

"Is the third time that we stay at this hotel an it never disappoints. Is the perfect hotel if you want to stay near Hongqiao station or the airport and it has plenty of dining options around and things to do. The line 2 takes you straight away to the city center and to PVG airport if needed, but bear in mind that PVG airport is very far from here. The hotel breakfast is well balanced with many options, both local and western. The service, gym, pool and amenities are on point. Spacious rooms, nicely cleaned and comfortable. Definitely will come back next time I stop in SH again."

"Good option if wanting to stay around Century Park area. Since covid, area is not as foreigner friendly in terms of eating options, but there are still several options. Great area to go for a nice walk. Hotel is a little dated, but clean and convenient to go to PBD or The Bund without the price tag. Not a lot of on-site eating/drinking options but nearby options, and this is a good place to sleep at a decent price."

"This is one of the best hotel i ever stay in China , i stayed in the 2 branch of moxy in shanghai . - It’s really really very clean hotel , everything clean , bed sheets , room , bathroom . - very comfortable room. - comfortable bed mattress, you will sleep very good. - nice concept of the hotel , you have good space . - they have different electric sockets in room. - good refrigerator - location is ok. , but when you arrive you have to be aware that the entrance is when you come from parking . And the check-in and lobby is in floor 21 - i love the lobby , it’s industrial design, it’s like modern lounge. - staff is very helpful. But: - no many choice for food - food only limited time , the room service should be all the time . Because china always close early. No place to go as a foreigner."

"Free shuttle bus to Pudong Airport: just call the front desk the day before to make an appointment Disney transfer: You can take the round-trip shuttle bus, which runs every half an hour. The guy and girl at the front desk responded quickly and were very nice people👍🏻 We were given an upgraded room type when we checked in on weekdays. The room was clean and the bed was good to sleep on. It came with a free toothbrush and comb. The amount of water in the shower head in the bathroom was a bit small ~ everything else was good! The neighborhood is very quiet. It is also close to Pudong Airport and Disneyland. After checking out the next day, you can store your luggage at the front desk, go to Disneyland easily, and then take the shuttle bus back. Personally, I feel that the price/performance ratio is very high! 👍🏻👍🏻 I just played too late and didn’t take any photos. Overall, I’m very satisfied🤣 The landlord’s dog is very well-behaved and loving🫶🏻🐶"

"I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lotus hotel! The first thing that stood out was how impeccably clean everything was, from the lobby to the room so. It's clear that cleanliness is a top priority here, and I truly appreciated that. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. Whether it was providing local recommendations, addressing any questions, or simply greeting me with a warm smile, they made me feel so welcome and cared for. Their exceptional service really sets this hotel apart. I would highly recommend Lotus hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, spotless, and friendly place to stay. I’ll definitely be returning for my next visit. Five stars all the way!”"

Shanghai Hotels Booking Tips

  • Book early (3-6 months in advance) for busy periods like National Day (1-7 Oct) or May Day holidays (1-5 May), or major China holidays.
  • Check trade fairs & events dates: Big trade shows (e.g. China Import Expo in November, Auto Shanghai in April), which can lead to higher prices and lower supply.
  • Save with deals: New Trip.com users can enjoy 8% off.
  • Stay smart: Try areas like Jing’an or Xujiahui - they're easily accessible via Metro Lines 1/2/10, but cheaper than the Bund, Nanjing Road, or Lujiazui.

GGuest UserHotel Mia is a nice stylish hotel that is moderately priced in a good neighborhood.  The staff did have limited English but with the help of a translator app they were always friendly and accommodating. We arrived at the hotel early and was able to check in right away which was a great plus.  I liked the style of the hotel but the design of the room sink was a bit lacking as it didn’t drain very well.  Also the plumbing had a slight unpleasant smell which is probably attributed to being in an old historical area.  The windows could also be better insulated as u can hear the street noise which might bother some guests.

However I noticed one minus - we had early check out and didn’t have time for a breakfast. They packed breakfast for us, but it was just bread,apple and yogurt. I still don’t understand for what we need three bread 🥖. Otherwise it was nice stay

The room so small not good to choose upper bed, lil bit too high and hard to go up and down anyway i don’t think it’s bad. i got the room close to WC and shower room lil bit annoying from water pump or something. i really hate the ground floor of the building. It's a steep staircase of about 10 steps. It's very difficult with big luggage. But the receptions are nice they can speak ENG and help anything i asked. i will back to stay there, if i go to shanghai again.

จารุวรรณDisappointing Experience at The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai for two nights, and unfortunately, my experience was far from the luxury service I expected. 1. Discrimination at Flair Rooftop Restaurant On my first night, I visited Flair, the hotel's rooftop restaurant. Before going, I was told at the lobby that the restaurant operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with no reservations. However, when I arrived at around 5:50 PM, the restaurant was only 20% occupied, yet the host told me it was ”fully booked.” Then, the host questioned my intent, asking whether I was there for drinks or dinner. When I said ”dinner,” he suddenly mentioned a 1,600-yuan minimum spending requirement. I agreed without hesitation and ended up spending over 2,200 yuan. But what truly bothered me was the initial rejection and the selective enforcement of the minimum charge, implying that I was being judged based on my appearance or nationality. If the restaurant was truly full, why was I offered a table once I confirmed I would spend a significant amount? 2. Misleading Room Upgrade Offer & Hidden Promotions When I checked in, I had already booked a suite with a city view for around 4,000 yuan. However, the receptionist tried to upsell me a Pearl Tower view for an additional 3,300 yuan, which is an unreasonable price just for a different view. What’s worse is that she failed to inform me about an existing hotel promotion: (cant remember the amount exactly) If I pre-purchased 1,000 yuan, I could use 1,400 yuan at Flair rooftop restaurant. I only found out about this the next day and when I asked whether I could retroactively apply this promotion to my bill (which was charged to my room), I was told it was not possible because I had to buy the package in advance. Had I known about this offer beforehand, I would have gladly used it. Instead, the staff prioritized upselling me a more expensive view rather than informing me of real benefits available to hotel guests. 3. Concierge Service & Taxi Nightmare The service at the concierge was another major disappointment. I had a reservation at a Chinese restaurant across the river and asked the concierge to arrange a taxi for me. Knowing that taxis in Shanghai can be unreliable and tricky (as I had experienced the night before with an airport taxi taking me to three wrong hotels and turning off the meter), I was relieved when the concierge used Didi (a ride-hailing app) to book a ride. However, when the car arrived, the concierge instructed a bellboy to walk me to the car, but he never confirmed whether it was actually mine. Just as the door was closing, a woman with luggage rushed in, claiming it was her ride to the airport. It turned out the car was not for me but for an entirely different passenger! At this point, I was already late for my dinner reservation. When I walked back to the concierge to ask what happened, he seemed irritated and dismissively said, ”Don’t worry” before reluctantly walking me to the correct car. This lack of professionalism and carelessness was incredibly frustrating. If you’re arranging a ride for a guest, ensure they get into the correct car. Final Thoughts This all happened in just one night—I can't imagine what else could go wrong during my stay. I sincerely hope no other guests have to go through such an experience. The Ritz-Carlton brand is known for its luxury and top-tier hospitality, but what I encountered was discriminatory treatment, misleading sales tactics, and poor service coordination. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves their service, ensuring all guests receive fair and professional treatment, regardless of their appearance or nationality. Ps: nice swimming pool by the way!!

GGuest UserSolo female traveller. Self-declaration of residence during your visit via a link the staff will share via WeChat. (For me, the submission under the Chinese UI only worked.) Free one-time clean-up of the room, no water provided so have to buy on your own. New towels and emptying of dustbins can be requested. Location is a 7-10 minute walk to Shanghai Natural History Museum Station and Nanjing West Road Station; 20 minute journey to Shanghai Railway Station via MRT if you are taking trips out of the city. On the way back from Nanjing West Station, there is a 7-Eleven at the station and a Family Mart nearby the station. There is also a mini-mart near the main entrance of the accommodation residential area. There are two lifts, but usually only one is operating, so I had to wait for the lift for sometime if I left the unit at 8.30-9am. If you are sensitive to dust, request for a deep clean of the room. There is quite a fair bit of dust under the bed. I visited the tail-end of spring where there were a few mozzies that came by, but there is an insect-repellent diffuser in the room. Washing machine is excellent, you may use the laundry detergent provided. Used it a couple of times, clothes are fine. Projector works well with MangoTV free subscription. It was nice to use it. You may also verify with staff on the address of the accommodation in Chinese, which you can use for Taobao and Dianping (if no local phone number) / *******. For ride hails via DiDi, pick up point is at the main entrance, the same direction to head to if you are going to Shanghai Natural History Museum Station. You’ll see a petrol kiosk outside the main entrance.

It's located on a main street but there are actually a number of small local eateries in the small streets nearby. Will stay again next time I come to Shanghai!!!
