Hotels in Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road, Shanghai

First, let's talk about the airports. It's super convenient to get to and from Pudong and Hongqiao airports. Just take Exit 14 of Line 2, and no matter how much luggage you have, you can get directly to the hotel effortlessly. Next, the hotel's location is excellent, right in the core area of Jing'an Temple. Jiuguang Department Store is just a stone's throw away, a mere 30-50 meter walk. Now, about the hotel's service: Ms. Ma was fantastic. She was very observant and great at conversation. When she saw us holding bread, she recommended some excellent local brands. Seeing us wearing Lululemon, she told us about the Lululemon outlet at Bicester Village. And when she noticed us drinking coffee, she immediately suggested the hotel's cappuccino. She has that clever Shanghai wit combined with northern Chinese hospitality – truly wonderful. Finally, regarding room service, they were incredibly responsive. Ice arrived within two minutes, and towels were delivered right away!

I booked this hotel based on a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I did. The room facilities are well-maintained, and the customer service is excellent. They even offer room service until after 10:30 PM! We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor – my kids loved it! While the breakfast buffet isn't super extensive, the quality of the food is very good. The location is fantastic, right next to Jing'an Temple and Jiuguang Department Store, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. Public transport is also easily accessible. The only minor downside is that the road outside can get quite congested, especially when trying to hail a taxi. It's fine if you're not in a rush, but it can be a bit of a hassle if you're on a tight schedule.

I chose this established four-star hotel in Jing'an District for my business trip to Shanghai, primarily for its location. It's situated in the Caojiadu commercial area, within walking distance of Jing'an Temple and Zhongshan Park. Wanhangdu Road is right downstairs, making it convenient for dining and shopping. 🔊 **Soundproofing is a major flaw** This really needs to be complained about! I could clearly hear conversations from the next room, and at night, there was a frequent, very noticeable ”woo-loong woo-loong” noise in the room, which felt like it might be due to aging water pipes or air conditioning ducts. I'm not sure what it was, but it sounded like a tractor. If you're sensitive to noise, I recommend bringing earplugs. 🍳 **Breakfast is indeed plentiful** I have to praise the breakfast; the variety was excellent, with both Chinese and Western options. The live noodle station offered scallion oil noodles and mini wontons, which tasted great. The fruit section had red dragon fruit and wax apples, which is more generous than many hotels at a similar price point. The breakfast hours are long, which is great for late risers. 🏨 **Renovation is good, but it's clearly an older hotel** A The lobby and public areas are quite grand, and the room was spacious and bright with expansive views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedding was comfortable. However, the facilities clearly show that it's an older hotel, with some equipment noticeably aged. Nevertheless, the hygiene is well-maintained. 💁 **Front desk service is excellent** The front desk staff were very enthusiastic, check-in was swift, and requests were handled promptly. **Summary:** Great location, fantastic breakfast, and attentive service, but the soundproofing and aging facilities are definite drawbacks. Whether you get a good night's sleep might really depend on luck.

The overall decor and ambiance are excellent, and the service is friendly. It's about a 10-minute walk from Exit 1 of Jing'an Temple station. There are plenty of food options nearby, though after 9 PM, food delivery from the malls becomes scarcer, but you can still find many items to order. The breakfast selection is also very rich, with Chinese options like congee, noodles, wontons, savory soy milk, tofu pudding, bread, and fruit. You can definitely fill up if you're not too picky. For late-night snacks, they offer simple white congee, millet congee, and some pickles. It's really comforting to have a warm bowl of congee at night. Coming back to the hotel at night, you can also do your laundry and even dry it, which doesn't affect your travel mood at all.

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Jing'an Temple. The street downstairs isn't too busy with traffic, so it's not very noisy, and the soundproofing of the windows is quite good. The guest rooms are spacious and well-equipped, though the sink design is a bit impractical – water splashes easily, and there's not much counter space for toiletries. The tea bags provided in the room seemed a bit old. The hotel lobby has a very artistic design, and there's a self-service laundry room, which is very convenient.

The tile floor in the room was a bit slippery and greasy. The location is decent, about a 5-minute bike ride from Jing'an Temple Station, but a bit of a walk. I was woken up by a 'thumping' noise from around 7 am, which didn't stop until past 8 am. Since all rooms are tatami style, housekeeping should pay more attention.

My stay in a twin room at the Shanghai Yan'an Hotel was excellent. The location is very convenient for getting around, the beds were clean and soft, and the room was spacious and not cramped. The soundproofing was also good, so it was quiet at night. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the housekeeping was thorough. Overall, it offers great value for money. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Shanghai.

This is Shanghai's oldest foreign-related five-star hotel. Since it was taken over by Jinjiang and rebranded as Kunlun, the service has seen a slight difference, though overall it still meets five-star standards. The staff are proactive in greeting guests. The main issues lie with the afternoon tea and happy hour. For afternoon tea, the Puerh tea was already dry. As for the happy hour noodles, I'm not sure what the chef was thinking – they were cooked, then cooked again, left to sit, and then cooked one more time when ordered. Do they think all guests are grandmas? **Facilities:** My room was upgraded for free, and it was very spacious. The only drawback is that you have to step into the bathtub to use the shower, which isn't ideal, but it's understandable given the hotel's 90s foundational layout. **Hygiene:** The hygiene was excellent. My only minor complaint was the insufficient hand soap.

1. Although there was parking closer to the lobby, the security guard at the entrance directed me to park in the opposite direction. He even asked if it was my first time staying there, and when I said yes and mentioned I had luggage, he didn't inform me about any shuttle service, especially on such a hot day. 2. There were staff members at the lobby entrance who enthusiastically helped me with my luggage all the way to my room. However, their professionalism was lacking. When I asked about the gym's location and whether it was free for guests, I was told guests had to pay. When I inquired about the price, they said they didn't know and told me to call the front desk. After calling the front desk, I was informed that gym access is indeed free for hotel guests. 3. The bottled water provided by the hotel tasted terrible. 4. The cleanliness was subpar. On the day of check-in, I found the bench at the foot of the bed to be very dirty, with small items left by previous guests. It remained dirty throughout my three-night stay. 5. The hotel gym is large and bright. It's pleasant to walk around the hotel grounds, and there are many lawn wedding setups. Other than that, the service and hygiene definitely need improvement.

This hotel is fantastic! The room environment is great, and it's right in the Nanjing West Road business district. The subway station is literally right outside, which is super convenient. I had an early morning US visa interview the next day, and it was only a 5-minute walk to the US consulate. Highly recommend!
