An ok little budget hotel in a great location. Situated just off the main shopping street, 10 mins from The Bund one way and 10mins from the People's Park the other. Rooms were basic and clean if not a little small. Staff were helpful and spoke English Subway station just round the corner.

Our room was on level 4 but we could hear the noise from the streets quite loudly. The beds were quite firm. The hotel is a few steps away from the Nanjing Road Shopping Mall (part of the road where no cars are allowed), a walking distance to the Bund (which is very crowded at night but surrounded by beautiful lights from the buildings), the Yan'an Rd East tunnel, the pier, and the Silk King (where we got our silk dresses made). It is a short taxi ride to Old Shanghai (which I prefer to be). The service is average and the front desk people understand/ speak little English (it was difficult to find out any information about nearby tourist places).

I stayed 11 nights in this hotel. To be honest my room was delux room, it was quite big, with good bathroom, fridge, safebox and a good air conditioner. The location is fantastic, very close to pedestrian area in east nanjing road and very close to metro station line 2. Just 10 to 15 minutes walk to the Bund area and even less to people's square. The stuff speaks english, but the breakfast is raelly not worth it. I recommend not to eat there, you will find lots of restaurants around. Inside the hotel is much better than how it looks from outside. I think the price is not very cheap not very expensive! If you look for a budget hotel with some standards, here is the place to be. However, there are quite a few hotels in this area with the same condition. In my opinion west nanjing road may be a better place for those who look for foreign bars and clubs and more fancy stores. Have a pleasant stay! Shahab

We stayed in the Nanjing Hotel last month. It is a good, basic budget hotel, just a few steps from Nanjing Lu. I picked this hotel because it was within walking distance to things we wanted to see, but then we never did any walking. Took taxis everywhere. Due to congestion in front of the hotel, taxi drivers may drop you off the block before. Some taxi drivers had difficulty finding the place, so be sure to take a map of its location with you. Hotel was very clean, and the front desk staff spoke very good English. Breakfast is 30 yuan (approx $5.10US), and changes many items daily. Compared to what we pay in the US for breakfast, it was very good value, but you need to like to eat vegetables for breakfast. Several times we ate food from nearby street vendors, and had breakfasts for 3rmb. We hated Shanghai (much prefer Beijing), but if we ever go back, we would stay there again.
