Jinjiang Inns is the budget brand from leading Asian hotel group Jin Jiang Hotels, and offers simple, clean, safe and comfortable rooms for business and leisure travelers.
"Located in the heart of Shanghai. From Pudong Airport take Line 2 to People's Square Metro Station, Take exit 6 and walk for 5 mins. The hotel will be on your left hand, right in the center of pedestrian walking street. The room service will be daily, regardless you ask them for it or not. They will enter your room despite putting a Do Not Disturb sign out of my room, so use the room locker to hide your precious items. Breakfast was small and decent. But it's the location that takes the top spot. Highly Recommended. Overall a great stay and will come back again."

"The in-room facilities are very well-maintained. The air conditioning, lighting, toilet flush, and showerhead all worked perfectly. Hot water came out quickly with a stable temperature, and the Wi-Fi was smooth with no lagging or dropping. All fittings and fixtures were intact with no looseness or damage.
The soundproofing truly exceeded expectations 🤩. Once the door was closed, footsteps and talking from the hallway were barely audible, and the street noise outside was also well-blocked. I am a light sleeper, but it was quiet through the night and I slept soundly until morning. This is definitely a major plus. The front desk staff were polite and friendly, check-in and check-out were efficient, and any inquiries were addressed promptly. The room size is just right, feeling fresh and unconfined overall. Dining options and taxis are readily available nearby, offering great value for money. There were no hidden or messy extra charges, making the stay secure and comfortable. It’s ideal for business travelers or anyone who values quietness and cleanliness. I’d stay here again if needed and highly recommend it 🥳😜"

Hotel near Huaihai Road Area/Xintiandi Area,Shanghai
"The receptionist at the front desk was lovely and even showed us the room before we confirmed our stay. The hotel is very new, and the amenities are almost identical to those at Hanting. Finding such great value for money in downtown Shanghai really exceeded our expectations. We checked out some other hotels in the area beforehand and found them very damp and cramped, so we just picked this one on a whim and turned out to be pleasantly surprised!
I forgot to take photos, but this is one of the very few hotels that I've actually felt compelled to leave a review for."

Posted on Jul 26, 2026|Bu Gao Li | Classic Shikumen-style Family Room With A Small Courtyard And Underfloor Heating
XiaoxiaozhichaGreat review! It's a loft with European-style decor, located in a Shikumen alleyway.
I loved the small courtyard, perfect for an evening drink. It was clean and hygienic, with one large bed, one small bed, and a sofa. There's a projector and a smart toilet, plus a kitchen fully equipped with utensils, dishes, and seasonings. A microwave is also available for heating food. The hot water and air conditioning worked perfectly. Disposable towels are available for a fee. There's also a washing machine and a drying rack, which is excellent and very convenient for longer stays!
The service was very good, and any issues were promptly resolved. It's not far from attractions like the Bund and museums. Sinan Mansions and Tianzifang are within walking distance, with the latter being particularly close and great for a stroll. The sheets and duvet covers were clean and comfortable. The sofa bed comforter was a bit thick, and the large bed's mattress was quite soft – I personally prefer a firmer bed, but everything else was great. Highly recommend!

Nadia.YThe hotel was clean, and most importantly for me no cigarettes smell in the room ( which is not always the case with non-smoking rooms in China). The location is central but yet far. keep in mind that you need at least 15 min walk to the closest metro station and to get to any close by destination ( the bund, Nanjing road,…) comes to 30min. There’s good restaurants close by. I was offered breakfast for 1 day, it was good and had a good variety, very nice gesture from the team, otherwise I wanted to discover the local foods and the amazing bakeries around the cities.

MoonTripsThe location was convenient and quiet, it was near to metro, shopping and restaurants. Parks are nearby where we took morning walk. The area was an old neighborhood, with locals still living in the area, a morning market was nearby where we get our breakfast. The lanes in the neighborhood were well lit; we felt safe walking back to our unit even late at night. Service from the owner was attentive and responded promptly with our requests. Experience was different from staying in a well-established hotel but if you wish for a little adventure, this is the place you can consider.
