2-Star Hotels in Shanghai

Stayed at this hotel for a concert in Shanghai and had a great overall experience. First off, it's super close to the subway, which takes you directly to the Shanghai Stadium in just a few stops. The hotel's cleanliness was excellent; even though the bathroom was shared, someone was always cleaning it – I'd finish showering and someone would be in there mopping right away. The soundproofing isn't amazing, but it wasn't noisy at all. It's perfect for solo travelers attending concerts or events. Oh, and I found the front desk staff really helpful. Someone even personally escorted me to my room, and late check-out was also an option. If my good review could get me a discount voucher or something, that would be even better!

Hanting Hotel offers a very convenient stay with a great location near the metro and within walking distance to The Bund, making it easy to explore major attractions like Nanjing Road shopping area and the riverside. The rooms are clean and provide enough space for a comfortable and practical stay, while the surrounding area has plenty of food options, convenience stores, and shops just outside the hotel. Overall, it is a simple, budget-friendly choice that is highly convenient for transport, dining, shopping, and sightseeing.

I thought I'd get the view from the first picture, but the actual scene was what came after. Still, I got to experience a bit of alleyway life, and sure enough, there was that kitchen smell everyone online mentioned. The sesame oil nearby smelled amazing, probably wafting from that doorway I didn't pay much attention to. A friendly heads-up: Exit 1 from the subway is closer but has no elevator, while Exit 3 has an escalator but requires crossing an extra road. After that, walk forward to the overpass, which has an escalator going up, but none going down 😂. Eating options nearby are quite convenient, and food delivery comes right to your door.

The B&B is conveniently located with easy metro access, and you can even see the 'bottle opener' building from the bedroom window. Plus, there are several businesses on the same floor, including a newly opened bead art shop that charges 18.8 yuan per hour (perfect for parents with kids, as adults can relax in the room while their children play just 10 seconds away, right outside the door). The only minor downsides are that the bathroom has no window and there's no trash can in the living room, but these didn't significantly impact our stay.

Nanchang Road is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in Shanghai, featuring old European-style houses. It's a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle, yet still very close to Huaihai Middle Road, making it super convenient for shopping, dining, and exploring trendy boutiques. The host and staff were incredibly friendly. I accidentally had a package delivered to the wrong address, and they helped me track it down and left it at my door. Check-in and check-out were smooth, they answered all my questions, and even provided great local food recommendations. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Great location that’s close to metro, railway and many tourist attractions. The room was comfortable and adequate for our needs, it was cleaned as needed, bottled water provided. Had teapot, teabags provided in the room and the bathroom has shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Love the smart mirror and toilet as well as automated curtain, such a modern touch.

Facilities: Well-equipped. Cleanliness: Very clean and tidy, excellent. Environment: The environment is also very good. Service: The service attitude is good, warm, thoughtful, and meticulous. ”Yu Mian” · Courtesy ”Exquisite freshly ground coffee and snacks”: Excellent, excellent, excellent.

I stayed here a few months ago, and the butler service was excellent, always ready to help. The location is also very convenient. I came back again for the New Year!

The 3 of us - 2 adults and 1 kid had a good stay in this flat. The location was really close to many hip neighborhoods with lively nightlife (which we didn't get to enjoy since we had a kid). The subway stations are between a 10-15 minute walk. The apartment was generally clean and in good condition. Seating around the table is limited and so is counter space. While small, it suited us for the 2 weeks we stayed there. We did have a slightly difficult time finding it, but that's because the location is a bit off the road in a little neighborhood behind an (open) gate. The manager and housekeeper were very responsive and kind communicators. They were helpful whenever we needed something. 

This guesthouse is located in an older residential area near Shanghai Railway Station, a bit off the beaten path. It seems to be an older establishment, so the facilities are quite basic, and the cleanliness is a bit lacking; there's a thick layer of dust on the window panes and frames. However, the bathroom has a water purification system, which is great as you can drink directly from it. For Shanghai, the price is quite affordable. It's also close to the railway, so you can hear some train noise.
