9.5/10
Outstanding
AAnonymous UserThe hygiene was great, and the front desk staff and cleaning ladies were very friendly. However, there's only one elevator, which was quite inconvenient and led to very long waits. In the rooms, especially for the top bunk, the ladder is installed very close to the wooden board, making it difficult to climb up and down. The rooms aren't separated by gender, so you might encounter people of the opposite sex in the hallway after showering. If that bothers you, you might want to look elsewhere. Although it's an enclosed room, it doesn't feel stuffy if you turn on the fan to a high setting. The location is excellent, very close to the subway station, making travel quite convenient. Overall, it's a very, very good place 👍🏻

NNinidianxiaThe hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around. However, precisely because of its prime location, the room rates are quite high, and the rooms themselves are rather small. Breakfast is delivered to the room and includes steamed buns, eggs, and soy milk, which I personally found quite good. The room was also relatively quiet. If you prioritize convenience and don't mind smaller room sizes or more basic facilities, this place is a good choice.

GGuest UserApologies for the messy bed in the picture, it was a quick shot as I was leaving. 🙏 This room is small but incredibly well-equipped! The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals, and the fridge actually works! That was a lifesaver for my cold drinks, haha. It's an older building so you'll hear some sounds, but personally, I found it acceptable. The attention to detail is amazing – hangers, a fridge, a microwave, spices, knives – it's the most complete place I've ever stayed in. My only wish is that the pillows were a bit firmer; they were a little too soft for my neck, but I'm sure those who prefer soft pillows would be fine. The host is very responsible, thorough, and attentive. Absolutely fantastic!

GGuest UserThis guesthouse absolutely deserves a full five-star rating! The location is truly unbeatable, right next to Plaza 66, and just a few minutes' walk from Lai Lai Xiaolong Bao and the LV Ferris wheel. It's incredibly convenient for shopping, dining, and exploring. The host was incredibly thoughtful; they knew we arrived early and proactively offered an early check-in. They were genuinely concerned about our experience throughout our stay and responded instantly to any questions we had, making us feel completely at ease, like friends. The room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped. The old house vibe, offering peace and quiet amidst the city bustle, was also very comfortable. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Shanghai!

GGuest UserEverything was excellent, starting with the perfect location and the short walking distance to the metro. There were great restaurants with delicious food nearby, and an UNIQLO store was close by as well, which was a big plus since we are fans of this brand. On top of that, the hosts were extremely supportive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

GGemiNOTthe1Not even a 15 minute walk from the closest metro station (地铁站). And there's so many restaurants nearby, including Shanghai cuisine. Plus, rideshare bikes are available (i.e. 哈罗, **, 和滴滴自行车). When I walked in, I was greeted by a very nice auntie who helped me at the front desk. She was very patient with my mediocre Chinese speaking skills and politely inquired about my travel plans. The elevator is in plain sight in the entry way, which is VERY handy if you just walked all those 15 minutes from the metro station or if you have heavy luggage. It also does not require you to swipe/scan a room key. The second floor is one long hallway. And the doors allow you to either type in a code or tap/swipe your room key. I never used the code, just the tap/swipe method. I highly recommend this hotel if you have mobility issues because of the lack of steep stairs, elevator access, and hallway layout. Just be careful hopping into the bathroom because of the large gap. After entering the room (see the pictures I attached), the vibes were pretty nice. Sleek, modern, and clean. I liked the floor level separation between the entryway and the bedroom area as well as the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it has two pairs of slippers, which managed to fit my big feet (US Size 11-11.5 / China Size 46-47). However, as you can see in the images provided, the toilet is very close to the sink, with little space for you to spread out your legs. But I did not care because the water temperature changes so fast and you don't have to wait like 10 minutes like at so many other hotels. The toiletries provided in the room include one small bottle each of shampoo and body wash as well as two small rolls of toilet paper. Plus, they have two body towels, two hand towels, one medium towel, a hair dryer. There is more than enough storage space for one or two people. There's a closet with shelves and hangers in the bedroom area. Then there's a refrigerator, and then so much cabinet space in the entry area. If you need air conditioning or heating in the room, there is a white controller that connects to an AC unit affixed to the ceiling and upper wall area. The window curtains allowed for a deep dark sleeping experience, which I absolutely loved. The washing machine works well but has a small interior, so you may need to do multiple loads. If you don't understand Chinese, the labels correspond to different settings, which I recommend consulting. The one I used (春秋 / Spring and Autumn) was perfect for me when I was there in February. My only real critique is that the windows did not shut all the way and I had no idea of how to fix the issue. I forgot about it until the last day, though. Also, be sure to wear earplugs since the street noises are insanely loud if you have a road-facing room. I hope that this review gives a decent bit of context for even just one person!

GGuest UserI was staying in Shanghai for Disneyland and wanted a reasonably priced hotel that’s near a Metro. I found the Hanting Hotel on Google, but it says the nearby Pusan Road station is ‘permanently closed’ which isn’t true at all! The station is fully operational so Google is wrong. As a traveler, use exit 2 of the Metro, because that’s the only one that has an elevator to the street. Nobody wants to schlep 2 suitcases up the stairs. Once you check in and stow the luggage, use exit 4 of the metro on your next trips to avoid crossing streets because Chinese drivers are *******. The staff at the Hanting are really nice, but don’t speak English. So pre-load Google translate in advance and download Chinese Simplified language. Type your message to them in English, Google will translate it and the staff will reply on their phones using a translator. It works. And btw, Google does not work in the PRC which is why you have to do this ahead of time. My room was advertised as non-smoking, but clearly a smoker used it before because the evil smell of cigarette smoke hit me the moment I walked in. Luckily the windows open in the room, so the smoke smell was mostly gone after 2 days except for the bathroom. So the air filter in the bathroom must be jammed with smoke particles, because it never went away even though housekeeping sprayed disinfectant. The rest of the room became acceptable. The air conditioning unit was thankfully working, so I kept the room at a nice 21 degrees Celsius. Some hotels disable the A/C in the cooler seasons and force you to accept a centralized temp, so I was happy that Hanting allowed me to set the temperature of my own choice. The room was generally nice (aside from the cigarette smell) but I was really puzzled about the lack of a dresser or a closet or anywhere to store clothing. There is also no clock in the room and no refrigerator or access to a microwave. The amenities were standard. Wi-Fi (the staff has to help you set this up), hair dryer, US compatible outlets. The best part: free breakfast! Westerners might be dissatisfied with just toast and OJ but Asians would love the breakfast spread of vegetables, sausages, fried rice, steamed buns, corn, steamed sweet potato, congee, tons of toppings and flavorings for congee. The surprise was full access to a washing machine and dryer for FREE! The machine provides soap, so all you need to do is load and press the buttons. The staff is willing to help. So after a long day at Disneyland, just load up the washer, take a shower, go back down and use the dryer and everything is fresh for the next day at Disney. I suspect that the hotel is not truly aimed at Western tourists. It’s a little off the beaten path, and it seems all of their guests are Asians. I am mostly satisfied, but damn, that cigarette smell.

WW_H_The hotel was great! My room had a window, and they even gave me a complimentary late checkout and free luggage storage. It's super convenient, only 300 meters from the US Visa office. While standard checkout is at 12:00, the front desk was really flexible. Plus, we got a 15% discount at Haidilao Hotpot!

GGuest UserThe place is quite nice and homey. There’s a lot of cookwares and kitchen utensils, also smart projector for entertainment. The place is easy to find, even though we need to walk a quiet distance from the nearest station. Still reachable though. There’s also many stores, cafes, and restaurants nearby. The hosts are very helpful and professional. I would recommend to stay here bcs it offers excellent value for money…

XXan DawsonLocation of this hotel seems to be pretty convenient. Though I would like to mention a few about reaching the hotel. If you’re traveling by metro be sure to take Exit 5. Don’t be misguided by taking Exit 10 as suggested by maps. About the hotel, it’s an average hotel with basic facilities. Thought your preferences can be modified if you communicate with the receptionists. A little hiccups here and there. Apart from that it’s quiet affordable for the price
