Huaihai Road's Hidden Gem Hotel | Seriously Good, You Guys! Girls! I've found a hidden gem of a hotel, and I just can't help but shout about it! Can you believe it's only around 100+ RMB per person, right in the heart of Shanghai's Xuhui district? The location is absolutely perfect! It's a 2-minute walk from Changshu Road subway station, making it convenient to get anywhere. As soon as I walked in, I was impressed by the attention to detail. A staff member proactively helped me with my luggage and even took it to my room, which made me feel very secure. The room has a fresh air system, so the air quality is excellent! The bedding is so soft I didn't want to get up, and the disposable toiletries are very complete. I especially want to highlight the bathroom. The automatic smart toilet even had a disinfection seal – a clean freak like me was absolutely thrilled! The shared bathrooms are also disinfected after each guest, sparkling clean. At night, I connected my Bluetooth headphones to watch TV; it was quiet and private, just perfect. There's even a laundry room with both a washing machine and a dryer, which is ideal for travelers! The hotel is called 'Yi Zhi Ning Meng Hotel (Shanghai Huaihai Road Branch),' located on the 18th floor of Yunhai Building, No. 1329 Huaihai Middle Road. Truly a high-value, little slice of happiness. I highly, highly recommend it! #BudgetHotelMonthlyRent #ShanghaiHuaihaiRoadBoutiqueHotel #TimeAgents #Anime #WhereToStayWhenTraveling #ShanghaiTravel #XuhuiAccommodation #HotelNearSubwayStation #SoloTravelerAccommodation #StudentBudgetHotel

HanTing Hotel (Shanghai Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street People's Square Metro Station)

9.5/10
Outstanding

Guest User
The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! It's super convenient for both the subway and bus, just a 5-minute walk from Metro Line 2. There are so many great food options nearby – pan-fried buns, soup dumplings, yellow croaker noodles, you name it. The famous Ming Butterfly Pastries from the International Hotel, which always has a long queue, are also very close, making it easy to grab some. The hotel staff and cleaning ladies were all wonderful and incredibly responsive to our requests. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

CNGuest User
Clean and relatively new. Though located on West Nanjing Road, it offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. It's easy to find, just inside the Meilongzhen Hotel entrance, and has a very local vibe. Food and drinks are super convenient nearby, and you can even head to Wujiang Road. All in all, a very convenient and comfortable stay. The bedding was especially comfy!

The room looks exactly like the pictures – great! It's well-equipped with a fridge, washing machine, and kitchenware. The bed is also very comfortable; the elderly slept well, and the kids loved it too. Customer service was very thoughtful, promptly replenishing supplies and checking in on our stay. They even offered a late check-out and luggage storage service at the end. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Posted on Jul 26, 2026|Bu Gao Li | Classic Shikumen-style Family Room With A Small Courtyard And Underfloor Heating
CNXiaoxiaozhicha
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!

Yumian³ Hotel (Shanghai Jing'an Temple West Nanjing Road Subway Station)

My experience at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The room was super clean and comfortable, which made my stay very pleasant. What really stood out was the staff's kindness; it truly touched me. When I was struggling to figure out how to order takeout, they patiently explained everything and even personally helped me with a drink purchase since I'm a foreigner and had difficulty with the payment. At checkout, they even gave me a hand cream as a gift, making my trip perfect right until the very end. Thanks to their warm hospitality and the immaculate room, I had a truly wonderful time. I will definitely be back!

Nice staff and location. Building built in 2009. A bit older. Needs renovation. Apartment smells of sewage most of the time. Bed was uncomfortable. Sheets were making me itchy, but it happens sometimes as my skin is sensitive. Washer dirty, so didn't use.

Xiaozhu Homestay (Shaanxi South Road)

SGGuest User
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.

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.
