Hotels in Yu Garden Area, Shanghai

The service was excellent; I arrived at the hotel in the morning, and they allowed early check-in. The location is superb, within walking distance of Yu Garden and the City God Temple, and also walkable to the Bund and Nanjing Road. Yu Garden is less than a 10-minute walk away. Nearby, at Gangcheng Mingdu, you can find Haidilao hot pot and mala tang. There's also a convenience store just over the overpass. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, there was supper available. The self-service laundry was very convenient, and the lobby offered free herbal tea and hot tea. A great bonus was the shuttle service to Yu Garden, the Bund, Xintiandi, and Yunnan Road Food Street.

The location is definitely this hotel's biggest plus point. It's a mere three to four-minute walk from the subway station, and just two stops by metro to iconic spots like The Bund, City God Temple, and Oriental Pearl TV Tower. You can easily hit multiple landmarks in a single day without any hassle. The hotel's ambiance is fantastic, with greenery everywhere. The rooms are spotless. Although there's no elevator, the staff are super helpful and will carry your large luggage for you. Luggage storage after check-out is also very convenient, making travel completely stress-free. Not sure why the ratings are so low!

This was my first time staying at an Orange Crystal Hotel. I was traveling with my parents and child, so I looked for a place close to the Bund and Yu Garden. I booked two adjoining rooms, which was really convenient for getting around. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the bedding was super comfortable. We stayed in a newly renovated room on the second floor (2025) and there was no strange odor. Downstairs, there's a FamilyMart convenience store and various snack shops. I have to praise the breakfast at Orange Crystal! We had just stayed at an All Seasons Hotel in Yangzhou before coming to Shanghai, and the variety at Orange Crystal was much better. The service was also excellent, I was very satisfied. If you want to be close to the Bund and the subway, I highly recommend this place.

It's s really good place to stay for a couple of nights when you're in transit in Shangai, the check in service was very efficient and welcoming. Even though we arrived around 4 am. They responded our messages and we could do the check in quickly. The staff at reception are very nice and even though they don't speak English they try their best to help you. They even have us s little souvenir 2 keyrings do that's a nice detail that we didn't find anywhere. the rooms is clean and modern and even thigh they are quite small they are enough if you're travelling alone or as a couple. Also the price per night....it's also very good ! We didn't try the breakfast what a pitty but it seemed delicious though. Maybe the breakfast service could be until 10am for the people who arrive later at night. Well done for the work !!

Highly recommend this hotel! The rooms are clean and quiet, and the beds are comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The front desk service is friendly and attentive, with quick responses. The location is excellent, right next to the subway, making transportation very convenient for getting anywhere. Overall, everything was satisfactory, and I'll prioritize choosing this hotel again next time I'm in Shanghai.

The hotel has a great location—the main shopping street and the waterfront are within walking distance. The metro is within walking distance, which is very important (a two-minute walk). This is especially important because, when returning to the hotel tired in the evening, we could quickly get from the metro to the hotel. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the reception manager, Suki — she helped us arrange our domestic flight to the Avatar Mountains (we couldn't check in or choose seats). She was a very pleasant and responsible woman! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great location near to Yuyuan Garden Metro Station. Easy to go anywhere and still close to the other main attractions. Room as advertised, spacious and not hot. Good ventilation. It’s an old building and it’s a commercial building. ground floor is very cheap souvenir stores The downside is the drawers in the room is not cleaned. It’s more like decoration only. Stayed for 2 nights. Maybe book earlier to get better deal so it’s more worthy

Location is the biggest advantage. It’s about a 5-minute walk to Yu Garden and the nearby bazaar area, with a metro station literally just across the street. Getting around from here is very easy, whether you’re heading to tourist spots or other parts of the city. The room itself was clean and well-maintained. A nice modern touch is the delivery robot service, which handles in-house deliveries efficiently. You can also order from Taobao and have packages sent directly to the hotel before check-in, which is quite convenient for early arrivals or shopping-heavy trips. One downside is the package handling system. Deliveries are left in a shared corner area with other guests’ items, so you need to sort through and find yours yourself—there’s no organized storage or labeling beyond that. Laundry is free and available 24/7, which is a big plus for longer stays. However, there are only two machines, so you may need to queue during busy hours. Overall, it’s a very accessible and practical stay, especially for travelers who value location and convenience over extra hotel services.

I am very happy to stay at this hotel because its location is very strategic, with a lot of food vendors right in front of the hotel. It is close to Yu Garden and the metro a walk of less than 5 minutes gets you there. The receptionist, XingZi, is very friendly and extremely helpful. She kindly upgraded our room, which was initially too small, to a larger room with a bigger bed. XingZi also helped me a lot in managing my Taobao package delivery that I hadn't received. My family and I highly recommend this hotel and are very satisfied with XingZi's service, thank you 😊
