2-Star Hotels in Shanghai, China

Absolutely the best location in Shanghai. It's in an old skyscraper, and the moment it is gone (because of how prime the location), we won't have such an economical space in the city center 😭 very fun, great kitchen, library and i liked the rooms and staff and the cinema room 📽️ The Bund is literally right around the corner

I stay at this hotel regularly. The front desk staff are very friendly and they even offer wake-up calls. The surrounding area is lively, with plenty of late-night food options, so you'll never go hungry. It's right next to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, which means prices can be a bit high during peak season, but that's to be expected for such a prime location.

The hotel offers good value for money. It's quite close to Pudong Airport, and there's a shuttle bus that runs once an hour. You can book the airport transfer at the front desk when you check in. The pick-up point is about a five to six-minute walk from the hotel. The front desk staff were friendly, and overall, it was a pretty good stay.

Room is clean , and they change towel everyday. They Give you new slippers everyday too . recepsionist cant speak english though , but they let me do early check in (around 10a.m). Location is super close to xinzha station line 1 (red) only 2minutes on foot , it is basically just right next to the station. you can transfer to people square (line 2) in only one stop or on foot only for about 7-10minutes. It is easy to go on metro to places like the bund , nanjing road, lujiazui xintiandi etc. Super happy to stay here

The hotel is conveniently located between the old and new parts of the city, making it easy to find places to eat, stroll around, and shop. The service is excellent; the staff are proactive and helpful. The cleanliness is also top-notch. I noticed many international guests staying here too.

One of the first reasons for selecting this hostel was the location and price alone! It is located in a very central part of Shanghai. It’s a busy street but located in walking distance of trains, many local restaurants and a short DiDi ride to main attractions. The service is great! Quick, easy and efficient check-in process. The desk staff were great in communicating expectations and the area to lead me. The bathroom areas are clean, showers within the areas. Blow dryers and sink amenities are present. I enjoyed my nights rest due to the comfort of the bed and linens provided.

I chose Dunba Hostel for my business trip to Shanghai, and its location is fantastic. You can walk to the Bund, and public transport is very convenient. The 8-bed male dorm with an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. The beds were clean and tidy, and the facilities were new and practical. The service was also very thoughtful. Overall, the experience far exceeded my expectations, and it offers great value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Shanghai for business.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in!! First, the location. It's right by the bar street, which is super convenient for going out and finding food, and you don't have to deal with the high prices of the city center. Great value for money. Next, the service. The two ladies at the front desk had an amazing attitude. They greeted me with smiles, patiently answered my questions, and even helped me get my favorite room. On my last day, I wanted to rest a bit longer at noon, and one of them gave me a late check-out for free... I was so touched! Then, and most importantly, the environment. Everywhere smelled lovely, and the facilities were comprehensive. The bedding was new and clean, and there were individual shower stalls fully stocked with various toiletries. They even thoughtfully provided hair ties for women, which really shows incredible attention to detail. It felt just like staying at home. Everything about this place shows how much effort they put into running it. It's truly a rare gem. I never write reviews, but my experience was so good that I had to. This week in Shanghai was absolutely wonderful. I actually had other plans to move to a different place, but it was so comfortable here that I couldn't bear to leave, so I extended my stay for two more nights, haha! Seriously, you have to stay at this hotel; it's one of the best in the entire country!

The front desk staff, Guoguo, had an excellent service attitude. I originally didn't book a continuous stay, but the hotel arranged for me to have one, which was great. This hostel's main advantage is its location; it's close to important places like People's Square and Mercedes-Benz Arena, and Line 10 goes directly to Hongqiao Railway Station. The facilities are standard hostel quality, but the wall sockets are quite loose, so be careful if your charger is heavy. On my last day, I was in a hurry and only came back around 10:40 PM to pick up my stored luggage before taking a late-night high-speed train out of Shanghai during the May Day holiday. I wonder when I'll be back next.

The large bay window offered a beautiful view of Shanghai, despite the ongoing construction next door. The accommodation was top-notch! There were facilities to wash and iron clothes, and the air conditioning/heating worked perfectly (which was very useful since the bay window made the place feel like a sieve). I would gladly return 😊 The staff were also very helpful, even though they didn't speak English. It's at least a 10-15 minute walk to the metro or the Bund.
