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.

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.
