Top Downtown Shanghai Hotel Reviews

River House Near Peoples Square And The Bund

10/10 Excellent

"We got two king size bed suite. The beds were very comfy with very good quality linens. The hosts were very nice and assisted us with airport transportation. Location is very convenient. Around 13 minutes walk to Nanjing Pedestrian Street and 10 minutes walk to the nearest shopping mall - 上海大悦城."

Grand Central Hotel Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very large, breakfast was a decent variety but be careful as despite allergens being displayed, they can be incorrectly labeled. The bathroom was very big in the room with a full size shower, bath and double sink. although the shower particularly around the drain area had quite a bit of mould. It would be nice if the breakfast area was more spread out as we sat quite close to other guests."

Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel on the Bund by Nanjing Road

10/10 Excellent

"Strategic location near to Yu Garden. Lots of food options in the area, easy walk to attractions. Clean and comfortable room. Very friendly staff members, thanks for your great service. Keep up the good work."

Holiday Inn Express Shanghai On The Bund by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location next to metro and walking distance to prime areas. Room was very comfortable and spacious, water bottles provided in room everyday, good aircon, breakfast was good with variety of western and Asian. Also had free diy laundry with both washer and dryer availability and free detergent. I would definitely book again when visiting Shanghai again."
