Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI ZHABEI, an IHG Hotel
We were happy to stay here: 1. High speed Wifi 2. The receptions can speak English very well. 3. Nice room. Cleaning service are polite. 4. The less is no heater when cold. But they gave us additional blanket at time. Overall 5 star for this Hotel.

Grand Central Hotel Shanghai
AC in the room was not functioning well, we were sweating all over the night and the window could not be open wide. Wifi was not working well, you have to input your local mobile no. The good thing is the location, only across the street is the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai
Opt for the breakfast, as it provides a nice meal minus the trouble of heading out to eat. Avoid the food center next to the hotel, acquired taste and little savings.

Seventh Heaven Hotel
The 2nd time I stay here. I think it is the most affordable accommodation in Shanghai city center. The room is a bit old, but it gave you an Old Shanghai vibe.

My second time to stay here, and still as good as the first stay. All the staff were nice and helpful. Foods at the restaurant also provided with information whether [it] contains pork or not. The hotel location [is] also in Nanjing Road, very easy to find foods, souvenirs, etc.
