2-Star Hotels in Shanghai

I initially chose this place just for its location, but once I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the front desk staff was. They asked if it was my first time staying and personally showed me to my room, and then to the bathroom facilities. Although the room was small, it was neat and clean, and the bedding was very comfortable. It's rare for a hostel to provide two pillows, which was a nice touch. The shower area was surprisingly spacious with a separate wet and dry area, and most importantly, it was incredibly clean. The toilet was a smart bidet and also very well-maintained – a huge shoutout to the cleaning staff! The common area is quite large with window seats offering a good view.

Stayed here for three nights and four days while on a trip to Shanghai. The service was excellent, and the hotel was very clean and tidy. Housekeeping came to clean every day, which was great. The location is also fantastic, very close to the subway, making it super easy to get to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Lujiazui, and the Science and Technology Museum directly by metro.

Upon arrival, there was a somewhat complicated issue that could only be resolved via WeChat. The room was spacious, quiet, and relatively clean. The service was excellent: the owner responded to messages quickly, helped change the room number, and extended our stay in the same room.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a washing machine – it was incredibly convenient! Having a washing machine when traveling with kids is a real lifesaver. The front desk staff, especially the auntie, was super enthusiastic and always quick to help with any issues.

Great review! It's a loft with European-style decor, located in a Shikumen alleyway. I loved the small courtyard, perfect for an evening drink. It was clean and hygienic, with one large bed, one small bed, and a sofa. There's a projector and a smart toilet, plus a kitchen fully equipped with utensils, dishes, and seasonings. A microwave is also available for heating food. The hot water and air conditioning worked perfectly. Disposable towels are available for a fee. There's also a washing machine and a drying rack, which is excellent and very convenient for longer stays! The service was very good, and any issues were promptly resolved. It's not far from attractions like the Bund and museums. Sinan Mansions and Tianzifang are within walking distance, with the latter being particularly close and great for a stroll. The sheets and duvet covers were clean and comfortable. The sofa bed comforter was a bit thick, and the large bed's mattress was quite soft – I personally prefer a firmer bed, but everything else was great. Highly recommend!

This hotel is a cost-effective gem in a prime location. It's clean, well-equipped, and very close to the subway. Highly recommend if you need to attend a US visa interview, as it's only a 4-5 minute walk away – you can even leave your phone in your room and avoid checking it in. The front desk offers earplugs, and the staff are all very friendly.

We always stay bere when.we come to Shanghai! The location is perfect to be in.the middle of the city and the apartment is just what we need for a family of.4. We will come to stay again soon.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. Its location is excellent, close to public transport, restaurants and tourist attractions, which made getting around really convenient.The front‑desk staff provided wonderful service. They were friendly and patient. When we asked about local places to visit, they gave us many useful suggestions for nearby sights and delicious local food. Their recommendations enriched our trip a lot.In terms of cleanliness, it was acceptable. The room was generally tidy, though a few small details could be improved. Still, it did not spoil our overall experience.Check‑in and check‑out were quick and smooth. Considering the unbeatable location and thoughtful service, I would recommend this hotel to other travellers. If you value convenient transportation and helpful service, this will be a good choice for your city trip.

Our stay has been a pleasure. The room is well furnished with all the essentials needed for an holidays of more than one day (fridge, washing machine and dryer). The beds are very soft and there is enough room for luggages. Our room is located in the French concession quarter, an interesting area with a lot of nice restaurants for all the budgets, convenience store and coffee. The service is very kind and helpful: the host has created a weChat group for us, with all the staff to answer our needs, and they provided us all the information days before the checking, ensuring that everything was clear. They bought us also water bottles for our stay. Few negative points to be discussed: the road in which our room (named Rome or ”Luoma”) is located is in a secondary street, unfortunately full of poor maintained house. When we saw the main entrance of the building we thought we were being scammed, since it was a mess with mold and falling paints from the wall, garbage and boxes. Fortunately the room is completely different! Another negative point are the windows that are super thin. Even if closed, you can hear everything from the road (the last night the neighbour were arguing for more than 1 hour and we could hear everything. It was like they were with us in the room!). The curtains are ok for the privacy, but not for the light: at 5 am the light of the sun was so strong that we needed to use eye masks to be able to sleep a little more. In general, our staying has been very pleasant and we suggest it! We hope that the host fix soon the few negative points

The hotel's location is super convenient, right next to Shanghai Railway Station. You just have to cross an underpass after exiting the subway. The ladies at the front desk were so warm and helpful, making the check-in process quick and easy. The room was really spacious, and the bathroom was huge too. Plus, there's a laundry room nearby offering free wash and dry services. Overall, I'm quite satisfied.
