My friends and I, each with our little ones, decided to travel to Shanghai. We booked this guesthouse as a last-minute alternative after cancelling our original hotel (because the beds were too small). We initially chose it simply because it was close by and we didn't want the hassle of moving again. After checking in, we discovered it truly embodied the essence of Shanghai. The house is located in a small, old-style apartment building in a lane, resembling an architectural masterpiece from the last century. Inside, the two bedrooms are spacious, there's an open kitchen, and the entire house has old wooden floors. The Ming and Qing dynasty furniture adds a touch of antique charm. It's also very convenient, with the subway station right across from the complex. Huaihai Road is just a short walk away, and there's also the architecturally distinctive Guotai Cinema – fantastic! The manager even extended our check-out time by two hours, and her prompt and thoughtful response was very considerate. A truly hidden gem of a guesthouse! [Thumbs up]

The hotel was really clean, and the service was excellent. They even gave us a free upgrade, so we ended up staying for several days straight. It was fantastic! The main thing is the great value for money. We'll definitely be back.

I booked this hotel for my foreign friend. I looked at a lot of places, and ultimately a guesthouse seemed to be the best value. It had bunk beds, which is a style my foreign friends usually like. The host was also very welcoming and even let us switch to a room where we could stay together for two nights. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes guesthouses and wants to be close to the subway.

Came to Shanghai for a performance and stayed at One Lemon again! The location is absolutely fantastic. The hotel is incredibly, incredibly clean – truly a five-star standard. Due to a typhoon, my high-speed train was canceled, and I couldn't go home, so I extended my stay for another night through the mini-program. However, when it was time to switch rooms, there wasn't a clean one available. A huge shout-out to the front desk staff (the brother and sister who helped me)! They upgraded me to a double bunk bed for free. I was so touched! I'm going to love One Lemon forever! Will definitely be back next time!

anoutsiderThe hotel's location is excellent, surrounded by trendy spots in Shanghai, which creates a great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and even upgraded my room. It's been raining a lot recently, so the duvet felt a bit damp, and the bath towels are quite old and really need replacing.

Guest UserThis accommodation is in a very nice area. There are many cafés and vintage stores within walking distance, and it’s well connected to public transportation. I was able to reach two different metro stations in less than 10 minutes on foot.
I asked the owner for an early check-in, and he gave me a room that was already ready. Upon arrival, a lady at the hostel welcomes you, and you need to add the owner on WeChat to complete the check-in process.
My room had a small private balcony and was very spacious and clean. The neighborhood is quiet at night, and all the windows have blackout curtains. I would recommend staying here.

Guest UserMy friend came to Shanghai for a visit and chose this hotel. Firstly, the location is fantastic, right in the heart of the *Wutong District*, perfect for a Shanghai city walk. You can just step out and find picturesque spots and tons of great places to eat and drink – it's a blend of hustle and bustle and peaceful charm. Plus, most of Shanghai's attractions are within a 7-8 kilometer radius, which really saves on transportation costs! Secondly, the price was incredibly affordable. Thirdly, although the room wasn't huge, it was well-equipped with practical appliances and kept clean and tidy. The only minor thing is that there's a step down right at the entrance, so a warning strip would make it a bit safer! Overall, my friend had a wonderful experience. The room photos the hotel provided are pretty accurate, so I've just included a few shots of the surrounding walkable area...

Nice place to stay but there are a few things to be aware of. Like all places in China there is a registration system. We sent our passports to Andy who was able to do it for us. The neighbourhood feels very safe and has security at the front. All former mansions are subdivided into rooms which are then occupied by many people. As a result, you will share a front door and some of the corridor. Because of this, the rooms are rather close together which meant in the morning you would often hear people cooking, talking etc. and in evening you might hear a bit of snoring. All together it wasn’t bad and it felt more local.
The room itself was pretty well equipped and had two large areas for the upstairs and downstairs. We enjoyed the projector and kitchen. The bathroom’s water pressure/shower head was a little weak and often got a little flooded as we were given disposable linen. The disposable bedsheets were fine but the towels were not really absorbent. The location was probably the nicest aspect. It was nice and uniquely shanghai unlike staying in the newer parts of town.
