Hotels near Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Bowuguan)

After experiencing a Fawlty Towers stay in our previous hotel, arriving at Narada was akin to ice cream on a scorching hot summers day. Welcomed with a cool drink at reception, booked in with minimum fuss. Advised that the bar fridge was all complimentary. I was already liking the place. The rooms were not large, but very clean and oozing character. The beds were extremely comfortable. Then came breakfast. Wow. A spread worthy of a 5 star hotel with indoor or outdoor settings with a great view. A short walk to yuan gardens metro station gave easy access to the sights we wanted to see. Some were even within walking distance. As our 5th hotel on this years trek it was by far the best. We checked out and left our luggage there to visit the Shanghai museum. Upon return, staff noticed we looked a bit hot so a couple of cold waters were bought to us whilst our bags were fetched. Then, the manager kindly wrote in Chinese the address of our next hotel for the cab driver as we only had an English version. All in all it was a memorable few days. It will cost me however. Of all the hotels on this years trip it was the only one my partner picked. Lol. So I've had to go 5 star to top it. Enjoy YOUR stay, you won't regret it !!

This is a fine suite hotel with very good accommodation, helpful and efficient staff, and a convenient location to explore most of the ‘must sees’ in Shanghai. On first arrival we were let down by not having a non-smoking’ suite available as we had booked however that was soon resolved and we extended our original booking as we were so pleased with the hotel overall. Whilst the building is quite new the immediate neighborhood is somewhat dilapidated – to some extent because of surrounding incomplete building works but then this applies to so much of Shanghai. Our ‘Comfort Studio’ was spacious, modern, comfortable and fully equipped for an extended stay including a washing machine. For what is offered the tariff is good value. Nanjing West metro station is 10 minute walk and the same distance brings countless dining options into range. Whilst there are a huge number of hotel choices in Shanghai, we are returning in the coming months and have already booked our stays at The One by Kempinski.

I have stayed in other hotels in Shanghai previously but this hotel I would say is the best so far in terms of location, cleanliness, helpful staff, good food served at the restaurant and also strong WiFi signal in room. This hotel so near to the Bund just 8-10 minutes walk and many shopping outlets also within walking distance with the famous Nanjing Street just a stone throw away. I will definitely stay at this hotel from now onwards. For anyone still searching for a hotel in Shanghai, I recommend this hotel without reservation.

i stayed in the hotel from Dec 25-Dec 30 and i must commend the staff for their friendliness. The hotel's location is also excellent as it is near the People's Square Station (Line 2) which is a major interchange as it connects to two other lines. Line 2 also connects directly to some major attractions such as the Bund, Pudong, the Maglev station, Pudong International Airport, etc. You can also just walk all the way to the Bund via East Nanjing Road, the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theatre, etc so really very excellent location. I will definitely stay in this hotel again!

If travelling by Metro is your mode of transportation, shopping and a visit to The Bund is your plan, then this is the hotel to stay. Metro station is just 50m outside the main entrance across the road on the left. There has multiple Metro lines and an underground tunnel leading to the shopping street of Nanjing East Road. At the end of this street is the famous Shanghai Bund. Line 8 will lead you the the China Art Museum and Shanghai World Expo & Exhibition Convention Centre (SWEECC). About 100m to the right of the hotel' entrance is Metro line 2 which will bring you to Pudong Int'l Airport.

The hotel is only 5-10 minutes walk away from the People’s Square, East Nanjing Rd Pedestrian Street and The Bund, and only steps away from Shanghai Museum, Grand Theater and Concert Hall. 5 minutes walk to Xinzha Rd Metro Station on Line 1, and 10 minutes walk to People’s Square Metro Station on Line 1, 2 and 8. Room is not big, but comfortable and clean. Staff cannot speak English very well, but very hospitality.

Wodnderful,great and big rooms with clean and comfort bathroom, the stafs of the hotel also very helpful and lovely service with great smile, the lobby of the hotel is great so beautiful with charcter chinese design ,the populer place in shanghai is in nanjing road only take 5 minutes by walking from hotel and we took dining in near the hotel with nice food, visiting shopping mall and near the hotel we found also underground rail station inside shopping mall,visiting also shanghai museum not far from hotel ,15 minutes by walking, we stay 4 days and really enjoy shanghai because the hotel is located in the center of tourism center, Great holiday

This was a perfectly located hotel, close to the historic center of Shanghai. It is one hop away from the Metro, walking distance from People's square and the Shanghai Museum, as well as Nanjing Pedestrian Street. It is but a short distance by cab from the Bund, the French Concession, and the Old Town. I love that it has roots in Shanghai's heydays in the 30s and fully appreciate all the information shared about the hotel and that era. It was absolutely clean and comfortable, had all the amenities I expect from a high-end hotel. For us, personally, it also tied in well with our purpose for coming to Shanghai--that nostalgic flavor that is so appropriate to a return trip to a city where we once lived 25 years ago.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The directions was a bit confusing as the hotel is better known as the Shanghai YMCA Hotel, rather than "Jinjiang Metropolo" -- as it used to be the Shanhai YMCA. It has a beautiful facade in the style of a Buddhist temple and looks quite unique between the other more modern buildings in Shanghai. My room was very comfortable, and clean. Only the curtains were a little dirty for some reason, but the rest was spotless. The internet connection was decent, although not great -- but I'm used to Korean standards, so it is difficult to compare. If you don't mind a 15 minute walk, it is relatively close to many local attractions such as The Bund, and just across the street from the Shanghai Museum. I gave a 3 out of 5 for the food, but honestly I did not eat at the hotel, so I simply gave the middle score for that. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s a simple budget hotel, but little details like free cookies and friendly service staff made us feel extra welcome. Check in and checkout processes were very seamless and quick. Rooms are very clean and well lit. Some reviews have complained about the location, but we found it quite convenient. An 8 minute walk will bring you to shops including McDonald’s and 7/11 and there’s two train stations in your vicinity (Xinzha and Shanghai Natural History Museum)The train stations in this area are not far from one another, so you can get to the attractions in no time.

Jinjiang hotels are GREAT hotels if you are looking for a clean, simple and a modern room. They are smaller rooms but are perfect if you will be exploring Shanghai and just need a place to sleep. The staff speaks limited English but they don't bother you. They are willing to help as much as they can. Every time I travel to Shanghai I stay at this brand of hotel. This particle hotel is only a 3 minute walk to the subway and is in a great location.

I love every detail of this hotel, even the smallest one. Was stay here more than 4 weeks. Stay on the 6 person female room and my parents at the King Bed room ont he 2nd floor. The facilities you can get is very worth with the price you pay. The location was very good, 5 minutes walk to the MRT Line 9 (小南门 xiǎo nán mén station Exit 2 or Exit 3), walk straight from the MRT station and you can get some small restaurant there). There is one 24hour minimarket beside the hotel. This hotel is very clean, they mop the floor twice a day, the room and the lobby is very clean too. And what i love the most from this hotel is the staff! All the staff of this hotel is very helpful and kind with all of the guests. Promise them i will stay at this hotel if i come back to Shanghai and will recomend this hotel with my friend who want to travel to Shanghai. The facilities are very good to. The bed and room is so comfort, and they have a cozy lobby. There is 2 PC you can use anytime at the lobby and the pool table behind the receptionist. The receptionist is 24 hour. You can wash your clothes at the Laundry (you need pay with the coin to use the Washing Machine). They can help you to call the taxi too. Thanks for all the service you all give for me. Im very satisfied :)

the jw mariott shanghai hotel is supposed to be one of the best if not the best hotel in shanghai. it is true it is really luxurious and beautiful.. no free internet in the rooms (it is nowadays quite amazing not to have free wireless internet in hotel rooms of this standing, especially in asia). top floor bar is a private mariott club so we were unable to have a drink there. we were nicely offered a promotion package on our arrival which included the use of the club (where you can have free afternoon tea, and early evenings drinks), internet access, breakfast and room upgrade which seems really good if you intend to stay all day and night at the hotel. staff was most efficient and spoke great english. the jw's lounge bar on 40th floor is really good: great atmosphere, good music, lovely decoration and top cocktails and snacks. great location, close to people square, museums, opera etc..

This hotel is a historical landmark of Shanghai. Once the tallest building in the city years ago. The interior is still well-preserved with its historical elegance blended with modern amenities. The single room is comfy for a single traveller. The people park metro station is just right opposite the road with the famous Nanjing west shopping street 5 minutes walk away. It's easy to go everywhere since People park metro is one of the interchange station with 3 different lines. Museums attractions are also 5-10 minutes walk away. A hotel with great location, convenience, history and class. Not to forget, its has a nice japanese restaurant and a certified pearl shop in the hotel itself. However, i'm extremely not happy with agoda and the hotel when i made changes to my booking and my first night payment not able to be refund due to their late communication.

I can't recommend the Campanile Shanghai Bund Hotel highly enough. The staff, from the front desk, to housekeeping to the restaurant were all professional, polite and helpful. Three Metro lines are very close to the hotel, so you can get anywhere in the City easily and cheaply. The Bund, People Square, Nanjing Shopping Street and many other landmarks are within walking distance. The neighborhood is very safe and next to a lovely park for walking or just relaxing. There are also plenty of restaurants, convenience stores etc. very close by. The was my first time in Shanghai and I knew the general area I wanted to stay in. The Campanile checked a lot of boxes, but you never know until you actually check in and the hotel exceeded my expectations ... and the price is right. My room was not huge, but large enough and well appointed with nice amenities and house keeping kept it spick and span every day. I will stay here again on my next Shanghai visit. The daily breakfast was tasty.

this hotel location was super GREAT, you only need to walk around 5 minute from Metro MTR station, this is hotel with value of money, but have great cleanliness especially in bathroom and bed. the room quite small, but its okay if you no need extra space, i recommended this hotel for you want hotel with great location, great cleanliness and you just need hotel for stay in the night and in the day you will travel all around shanghai, this is super recommended

Shanghai has long been on my travel bucket list. The subway system is good, but you don't really want to take it much with so much going on above ground! The Line 2 subway is a good one to know, however, as it goes near the Bund, and also to the airport and train stations. Excellent. STAY AWAY FROM THE SCAM TAXIS AT THE SHANGHAI TRAIN STATION! They will want 200 yuan for what was a 15 minute trip! My rule is to never engage an idle taxi! Search for the Taxi Cue-- its underground and I had to wait for an hour, but the price for the legitimate taxi was 28 yuan, and we encountered little traffic even at 8:30 am. As for the Wu Gong itself, it was a great place to stay. It was only about a 10-minute walk to the not-to-be-missed Shanghai Museum and People's Park. Plan on at least three hours here. Ten minutes east was the center of the Bund, the place to be! If you are into photography, the Bund is better by night with all it's "make-up" lights on than during the daytime. Lots of people here. Very friendly and want to practice English with a little encouragement! And they will want a selfie with you! It is a beautiful place to be, especially on a summer night when all you want is even a little breeze. To the south, it is a very easy walk to the Old Town. Very interesting winding, tree-lined streets. See it fast though. The modern era is encroaching quickly. One old neighborhood is now surrounded by demolition and high rise apartments going up. So sad, really. These people's families have lived in these areas for centuries. Now where do they go? Also, if you want a "treat" at both ends of reality, try the Fangbang Street and the Yuan Tourist Area Bazaar (Bizzarre more like it)! Nearly 99% Chinese tourists and a kitchy area to shop. If you wondered where all the English-speaking Chinese are in Shanghai, they came here to open a shop! The Confucian temple is here as well, and it is easy to miss in the glitter. Look for it. I was lucky enough to catch a little of a ceremo

A centrally located hotel. very near to Nanjing East Lu, people's square, people's square Metro Station on Line No.02 and the Bund. The ATM , laundry,Pharmacy, fruit shop, General Stores,Public transport, restaurants and all major attractions are nearby. The hotel is clean with nice clean rooms. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The staff is fluent in English. In brief, It is value for money. I will stay here again on my next visit to Shanghai.

Was a bit skeptical at first due to the high price point, but it really delivered. The front desk is flexible and allowed us a late 4pm checkout. The location is right opposite Daimaru, just 10min walk away from the Bund. We got the city view, but it was still great nonetheless. The room was larger than expected and really comfortable and luxurious. I would recommend it for anyone planning a stay in Shanghai.

While there any many hotel in Shanghai, I selected Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden based on 3 criteria: 1. Last renovated in 2018, so all interior are newer compared to most hotel in Shanghai city centre 2. Location, while there is 600-700m away from subway station, they are walking distance to Yu Garden and within min taxi ride (<2km) from the rest of the area (Bund, XinTianDi, TianZiFang) I intend to visit 3. Price, while they are not the cheapest in Shanghai, I paid S$135/room/night, which to me is good value of money, given the location and the interior of the hotel
