Lujiazhaiji Vacations from NT$13,665

Had some problems checking in but the staff were super friendly, spoke english and was just reassuring through the stay. Only issue was the smoke smell around the halls for those in dorms but it goes away once in the capsule.

Absolutely loved this stay. Just a 10-minute walk to the Bund, with charming old houses along the way. The room was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Great water pressure in the shower. The laundry room on the 4th floor was a huge plus—wash and dry in one go. Nice gym for a quick morning workout, and the rooftop terrace has an amazing view of Lujiazui at night. Front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and even recommended some great local Shanghainese restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Although the restaurant is on an odd location within the hotel, the food selection is great.

The Hongqiao Heyitang Hotel is one of the best properties I have stayed in Shanghai in the last twenty years. On the latest trip to China, I stayed there on 3 separate bookings, two with Expedia, and one direct. All 3 rooms surpassed my expectations, with one minor issue with the light in one of the waterclosets. The hardware worked great, the bedding comfortable and clean. Housekeeping was great. The staff go beyond their duties to accommodate your needs. Take out food is delivered to your room by a robot with a sweet little voice. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10, with a full complement of western buffet, fruits, and hot Chinese steamer items, such as dumplings, corn and potatoes, etc. A noodle stand cooks your order while you wait, a stand with 4 different congies and condiments puts a delightful touch to the breakfast spread. No whole grain bread though, only white bread, pastires and cakes, etc. The only weak spots was the coffee, you get the Italian, which is like Espresso, and the American, which is simple the Italian with hot water. The Heyitang is located on a quite one-way street near the #2 Line subway station. A taxi ride to the Hongqiao Highspeed Train Station costs about 40 rmb. The Front Desk staff calls the taxi for you. Hailing in the street is difficult. Clientele: young professionals & eastern Europeans, with the occasional family with young kids. Will stay there again.

Property said there were three beds in the one room, but there was two beds in one room and then a separate bed in the room next door. The facilities were clean, modern and had great air conditioning. The location is a little out of the old city or shopping district or Bund, but we took a taxi to all very cheaply. There is also public transportation nearby.
