10 Top-Rated Motels in Shanghai

May 13, 2023 Major Galusha

Shanghai is a huge and sprawling metropolis that draws people to it from all over the world. It’s a place of contradictions where East mixes seamlessly with the West, and where the old is constantly bumping up against the new. Find a neighborhood full of Western comforts, immerse yourself in Shanghainese life, or live in the future today. Few other cities in the world – if any at all – have such a wide range of experiences to offer.

Shanghai Fish Inn Bund

Fish Inn Bund is a boutique hotel located 5 minutes walk from E. Nanjing Road, right at the center. 5 minutes walk to metro station, Fish Inn is just minutes away from most of Shanghai's highlight. It is renovated in 2011 to a fusioned hotel with Chinese traditional elements perfectly bounded into a building hidden in the ShiKuMen area, near SuZhou Creek and the Bund. Each room has its own decor to lighten your trip to Shanghai. Our staff warmly welcome you to Fish Inn Bund!

Highly recommend!

I have stayed at most of the Shanghai hostels over the years, and this is my new favorite hostel/small hotel in the downtown area. Only a couple of blocks north of Metro 2 Nanjing East station, exit 5. Just before Suzhou creek bridge. Only a few minutes walking distance to Nanjing pedestrian street, the Bund, etc. We stayed in a double bed room that was warm enough without turning on the room's heater even though it was pretty cold out.

Decent price, decent location

Reviewed By TomBaul

Average would pretty much sum it up. It's not an awful place to stay, staff are friendly, our room was okay. The location is not great. Quite a walk to the subway station and there is not overly much to do in the immediate area. A coffee shop opposite and a couple of restaurants in the immediate vicinity, but not where you want to be ideally. But you get what you pay for, it does the job, wouldn't overly recommend it but wouldn't tell anyone to avoid it at all costs either.

You can find just about all your travelers' needs satisfied in this neighborhood: it's close to a subway stop on the best line for sightseeing, there's a China rail ticket service nearby, it's a short walk to the airport shuttle bus, and there are Western-style coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, convenience stores and ATMs all around this hotel. The hotel itself is clean, affordable and safe. Nothing 5-Star about it, but it is a welcome and comfortable place after a long journey. As with virtually all hotels in China, it REALLY helps if you know some Chinese!

Decent price and location. Wouldn't want to stay more than a night or so as room was very small and cramped. Staff also was not helpful when I tried to ask them what room number I was in when I came in late in the evening and my key card was not working and I could not remember what room number I was in.

Stayed here a couple of times, good for a short stay near the airport. The free shuttle is useful and easy to arrange. For 68RMB a simple buffet is available. Good value for money. Would probably stay here again if passing through.

Dirty and Expensive

Reviewed By Teejay403

I am not one to complain and never give a bad hotel review but I felt this information is important for anyone considering booking this hotel. We stayed in this hotel for one night only. We arrived with our children late in the evening and had no option but to keep the reservation. Our room was covered in large amounts of black mold along the walls. We all know that black mold is a serious health concern and can cause significant illness. The clerk tried to tell me it was no big deal. There were greasy hand stains along the walls, There was black hair in the sink. I asked the hotel clerk if we could at least change rooms to one without mold and was told the hotel was full. The rate for the room was expensive despite what others have said. For health reasons alone I would avoid this hotel.
