8.6 (10,379 reviews)

Dihang Boutique Hotel (Shanghai Pudong Airport) ★★★

📍 No. 653 Chenyang West Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai

9.4 (12,089 reviews)

Yitel Premium (Shanghai people's Square Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street) ★★★★

📍 4th Floor, No. 379 Zhejiang Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"My second time staying in Yitel Premium was great. What is amazing about this hotel is the location as it’s basically right on Nanjing Pedestrian Road! Would recommend if you want to stay in the center of Shanghai."

Shanghai People's Square Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street Treasury Hotel
9.5 (8,317 reviews)

Shanghai People's Square Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street Treasury Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 678 Hankou Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"The hotel's location is super convenient, with lots of food options nearby. It's also very close to the pedestrian street. Highly recommended!"

Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT by IHG
9.0 (5,233 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT by IHG ★★★

📍 No. 850 Jichang Avenue, Pudong New Area, Shanghai

"Great value for a layover, but brace for the morning rush. Pros: · For the rate, the room is perfectly comfortable and the food is decent. The breakfast spread (seen in the pics) actually offers a good mix—Chinese food, plus coffee and juices. For a quick airport stop, it hits the spot. · Convenient transport: If you skip the shuttle, ordering a taxi directly from the hotel to the airport is super easy and fast. Cons to note: · Elevator & shuttle crowds: The biggest inconvenience is the morning checkout rush. Everyone is heading to the airport at the same time, so the elevators get jammed, and the queue for the bus shuttle can be crowded. It's absolutely fine for the price. Just leave your room 15–20 minutes earlier than you think you need to, or simply grab a taxi from the front door to avoid the shuttle chaos. Would stay again for an early flight."

Zhexuejia Hotel (Shanghai Bund Xiaonanmen Subway Station)
9.0 (4,470 reviews)

Zhexuejia Hotel (Shanghai Bund Xiaonanmen Subway Station) ★★

📍 3rd Floor, No. 14, Lane 518, Zhonghua Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"The front desk staff, especially the young woman, was incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel also provides complimentary water and snacks. Being right above a metro station makes getting around incredibly convenient."

Crowne Plaza SHANGHAI NANJING ROAD by IHG
9.3 (11,748 reviews)

Crowne Plaza SHANGHAI NANJING ROAD by IHG ★★★★★

📍 No. 719 Nanjing East Road, North Gate, No. 700 Jiujiang Road, South Gate, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"Avoid Crowne Plaza Shanghai Nanjing Road! I checked in on July 17th and found moldy, smelly food left in the fridge from the previous guest. For a five-star hotel, their housekeeping and inspection processes are completely failing. They didn't even check for forgotten items in the fridge, indicating a total breakdown in basic hygiene standards. Paying a high price for a room that smells awful and poses health risks is unacceptable. The management's oversight is glaringly obvious. Anyone considering staying here should seriously think twice."

Da Zhong Airport Hotel
8.4 (21,247 reviews)

Da Zhong Airport Hotel ★★★

📍 No. 6001 Yingbin Avenue, Pudong Airport, Pudong New Area, Shanghai

"Pros: The hotel is right next to the terminal, which is super convenient for early morning flights. Cons: Not great value for money. The facilities are old and a bit rundown, and the service was just okay. I didn't get to try breakfast due to time constraints, so I can't comment on that. The room was quite small, and the decor is dated."

Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden On the Bund
9.6 (10,077 reviews)

Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden On the Bund ★★★★

📍 No. 789 Fuxing East Road, near Henan South Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"The service was excellent; I arrived at the hotel in the morning, and they allowed early check-in. The location is superb, within walking distance of Yu Garden and the City God Temple, and also walkable to the Bund and Nanjing Road. Yu Garden is less than a 10-minute walk away. Nearby, at Gangcheng Mingdu, you can find Haidilao hot pot and mala tang. There's also a convenience store just over the overpass. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, there was supper available. The self-service laundry was very convenient, and the lobby offered free herbal tea and hot tea. A great bonus was the shuttle service to Yu Garden, the Bund, Xintiandi, and Yunnan Road Food Street."

Dihang Boutique Hotel (Shanghai Pudong Airport) ★★★
"The pickup service is commendable! Whether it's the middle of the night or during the day, when you call the front desk, the front desk attendant immediately notifies the driver. The driver also calls you in advance to confirm the pickup location and tells you the license plate number to ensure guests don't miss their ride. This service even surpasses Ramada's. Last time, when I stayed at Ramada and Vienna respectively, I had to wait for and find the car myself, and eventually saw a sign with Ramada's schedule 😓. The front desk staff are excellent 👍🏻, always ready to answer any questions. This shows that the owner or executive manager of Dihang Hotel has a very high level of management. For this price, the room is quite good; everything is great except that the towels need updating. The price is affordable, The service is excellent, The room is comfortable, And they are very helpful."
