Top Old Chinese City Hotel Reviews

Shanghai Elong Hotel by the Nanjing Road

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, friendly staff"

Grand Hyatt Shanghai

Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund

10/10 Excellent

"great location"

Green Court Residence City Center Shanghai People's Square

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our time here! The apartment was super spacious, nicely decorated, and packed with storage space. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the shower was fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed for quick breakfast and a simple meal but with with hundreds of top-notch restaurants just a few minutes walk away, you won’t want to cook much anyway! The location couldn't be better: just a 7-minute walk to the metro and Shanghai Walking Street. Best of all, the staff were amazingly friendly and let us check in 3 hours early after a long flight which was a lifesaver. The only small downside was the living room sofa, which was quite hard and uncomfortable. Overall, an amazing experience. We would definitely stay here again!"
