What an easy and pleasant introduction to Shanghai! For starters, this hotel is SIMPLE to get to from the airport - take the Maglev Express train to the terminus, transfer to the Metro Line 2, 6 stops to Nanjing Road EAST, out exit 1, turn right, walk less than 1 minute and voila! Nanjing Hotel. (The express train costs 50... more

having hunted through trip advisor for shanghai hotels i went for the Nanjing. The location really is great- 50 metres from shanghai's super shopping street, 70 metres from the Nanjing rd East metro station and right opposite 3 or 4 really good cheap restaurants if you're concerned about any road noise at night, ask for a room whose number ends... more

My 8 night stay was especially pleasant in corner room 820 at the end of the corridor with no passing guests. The wide single beds were very comfortable. Didn't open the windows because it was hot & steamy outside & of course there's noise from the car & motor bike horns. The step up into the bathroom was most interesting... more

The previous reviewers are correct. The hotel is in a great location, right next to the pedestrian mall. The carpet is dirty, the bedding was questionnable, the bathroom is dimly lit, has a strange step up, had lots of mold and half of the showers were cold. The windows are really thin, and the noise is unreal - if you... more

People at reception speak english, better than in other places i stayed. Shower has little water pressure. Nothing else to say. Basic. Super location, as good as on nanjing road. Walking distance from the Bund or the People's Square. more

State of carpet and hardness of bed was no different to any other hotel we stayed in, in China , BUT the impression you get is that the staff absolutely hate their job and absolutely hate customers!! One big advantage is it's location - close to metro which is great. Close to The Bund - but that's a mess at... more

For the rate we got we did not expect the Hilton, which we did not get of course. But we got an absolutely fine room, which was clean and well looked after in a hotel with a great location near the shopping street in walking distance from the Bund (which is of course currently a big construction venue for the... more

I swapped to this hotel from my hostel further from the centre. I couldn't believe that such an affordable hotel could be right in the centre of the action. It was great to wander along Nanjing Donglu at night, and then just fall into bed. It's especially good for solo travellers like me, who don't really want to be walking... more

I will just agree with what previous posters said. The hotel is fine - clean enough, standard REALLY hard bed, decent size room. The location is EXCELLENT making it the perfect place to stay when we only had one night to do some sightseeing. The only negative thing I found was that the lighting in the bathroom was terrible and... more
