I stayed there for a night and they were very helpful. I had a problem with the payment and they accommodated me and paid for the taxi until my problem was resolved. Nevertheless, they welcomed me warmly. I thank them for the facilities they provided me

Old-fashioned arthouse charm in excellent location. Some shared communal features but was to be expected as this not a usual hotel - it offers a unique Shanghai living experience, quite different. A valued stay.

I stayed here after splitting from my travel group and was feeling really nervous being alone in a new country with 10 days left. The host was absolutely amazing! I accidentally booked the wrong dates and arrived early, but he was so kind and made it work without any hassle. The place itself has amazing views and is in a great location — close to shopping centres, cafes, and everything I needed. It was very clean, with toiletries provided, barely any noise, and no strange smells. The host even supplied laundry detergent, which was super convenient. There was plenty of wardrobe space, and the room wasn’t cramped at all — I was able to open both my suitcases comfortably. The bed and pillows were really comfy, and while the bed is on the firmer side, I personally slept really well. Throughout my stay, I had a few issues like no internet access due to my eSIM and needing to buy extra luggage. The host went out of his way to help — recommending luggage shops and even helping me organise a pocket WiFi. Communication was always quick and easy. I feel so lucky to have stayed here — it made my last 10 days stress-free. Highly recommend this place for the incredible hospitality, great location, beautiful views, and overall comfort.

It is a budget hotel with no bells and whistles, basically you have a comfortable bed and a private bathroom that you can choose to come and sleep only. It is close to all the tourist attractions and 3 mins walk from the Shanghai metro. Location: 10/10

The location of this accommodation is ideal. It's very close to East Nanjing road and a relatively short cycle to the Bund. The accommodation was clean and comfortable.

After staying in so many homestays, I really want to strongly recommend this one. First of all, the location of the homestay is very convenient, and it's easy to go anywhere. Secondly, the rooms are very clean and tidy, making the stay particularly comfortable. The staff are very patient in answering questions and are very enthusiastic in providing us with a lot of travel tips. I am very satisfied with the choice of this homestay for this trip to Shanghai.

The location is really good, about 3 minutes away from the subway station, there are also shared bicycles at the entrance of the community, and there are a lot of food nearby. The metro station is on lines 1, 2 and 8, which is very convenient to go anywhere. The landlord was very nice and responded in a timely manner, and any problems could be dealt with in a timely manner. I will choose to stay here next time I come to Shanghai. Great trip to Shanghai!

The location of City Hotel in Shanghai is excellent, South road is tree lined and full of interesting boutique shops and people going about there day. It is within walking distance to lots of landmarks around the city, shopping and food. We got the buffet breakfast every morning which was delicious and there is more than enough options to cater for every breakfast preference. Our room was comfortable and very clean and nice and cool, as it was very hot outside. We loved our stay at city hotel and would definately go back.

The location is key to everything. A few steps away to a metro station interchange and there are plenty of eateries surrounding the area to get a quick bite or a proper sit down restaurant to rest our legs. The apartment is very clean and the host was very prompt in resolving issues pertaining to the workings of the equipment. There is even Luckin coffee downstairs where I always get a quick cup of coffee every morning. The instructions to check into the apartment were clear as well.
