Hotels near Old Site of Customs Library in Shanghai

This is a diamond in the raw. You can barely find this type of decoration with details that make it a very pleasant space to be at, the rooms are very big for what you are paying and the unique layout (exactly as shown in the pictures) is beautiful and comfortable, the experience is different than the typical hotel room. Building and rooms are always clean, no bad smells around. Yes, breakfast is a mess, but hey, the room includes the breakfast for the same price, I don’t understand why people complain about it since the location is so great that you can walk less than 500 meters and already can have breakfast in a different place for a whole month ! As the hotel has its years already, shower pressure is not the best, the air conditioning system is already good for a nice upgrade, and some small details are looking out of date… yet again, you have a huge and unique room, comfortable king size beds, very clean and in the middle of one of the best areas to stay in Shanghai, for a more than reasonable price. I very much recommend it, I’ll be staying there again on my next travel to Shanghai.

Everything was perfect except, upon arrival to our room there was a notice on the table which said the swimming pool would be under maintenance the following day for one week. If you want a hotel with a swimming pool, always call the hotel first to confirm the pool is open since there will be no notice via the trip app before you book or after you book.

this place is a rather perfect fit for teenagers, the new gen who like to walk around the city; hotel is located in the city center which only takes 800m walk to reach the shopping center and Jing'an Temple; the nearby hotel also has several bars, restaurants, and a nail spa, and most places are a perfect fit for Western European styles; plus also nearby 2 train lines (line 7 and line 14) which you can take to several places.

This a a cute hotel in a great location if you want to go out in downtown Shanghai, since its surrounded by restaurants and bars. The room is of a good size and although the soundproofing isnt amazing there were no noisy guests on my floor so I slept well and the bed was warm and comfortable. The reception staff were friendly and efficient,and there is a nice cafe downstairs. The sink in the bedroom area is a little odd but that is really the only bad thing I can say.

We had a wonderful stay here at Hotel Equatorial Shanghai. Hotel is easily accessible from Jing'an temple metro station. The beautiful Jing'an Sculpture park is very close. Great location in a beautiful area for shopping and food or for leisurely walking . We found many great restaurants in the nearby area. And being so close to the subway puts the entire city at your doorstep. Hotel rooms are of a classic design. Solid walls ensured great sleep with no disturbances. Beds were very comfortable. Hotel staff are enthusiastic and very helpful when we had questions. A special recognition and thanks to the master chefs and staff in the kitchen. The breakfast buffet here is amazing and not to be missed! Everyday was delicious. Highly recommend! (and keep an eye out for the hotel robot that you will see gliding around and even taking the elevators!) :-)

One of my criteria when choosing a hotel is it has to be within walking distance to a subway/ Metro station. Urcove @ Hyatt in Pingan is located just across Wuding station (Exit 1 is across while Exit 2 is about 100m on the same side). For less than $140, I got a superior room with breakfast included. Room: Clean and spacious. The toilet is separated from the bathroom. It doesn't have a bathtub which is fine with me. So one can use the toilet while the other can take a bath. It has a sofa set beside the super single bed (there are 2 beds) which I loved as I would plonk myself on it after a long,tired day of sightseeing/shopping/ walking. The view overlooks the city and you can see the metro station that is directly below 😊 WiFi/ TV The WiFi is pretty weak. And i couldn't access YouTube/ Instagram/Tiktok/ Google using the hotel WiFi. TV programmes are quite limited. No English programmes. Breakfast Some reviewers complained about the lack of variety but we thought that the buffet selection is quite good. You have your usual porridge and Chinese breakfast menu, plus the eggs and sausages, cereal and bread. We enjoyed the morning breakfast during our stay. Hotel concierge The guest relation officers are helpful and friendly. The waitresses at the restaurants are also very friendly. I am very happy with the service rendered.👍 Convenience There are quite a few restaurants nearby. You can also order food and the hotel robot will send it to your room. (We didn't have food delivery because we were out for almost the entire day). As mentioned, the metro station is just across the road. I would take it from Wuding station (Line 14) to Jingan Temple station (Line 2)which is just one station away. People's Square/ Nanjing ok East stations (if you want to go to the Bund) are on Line 2. Line 2 also goes to both airports. (We actually took the metro train to Pudong International Airport station when we flew home. And it only costs ¥7! ) I would definitely stay in this hotel again when I visit Shanghai again.

I stayed in the Portma Ritz Carlton for 2 nights just after Christmas. The service was excellent, all of the staff went above and beyond to help me. They greeted me by name, remembered my coffee and drink orders and went to great lengths to help me. The staff in the club lounge were amazing, Lisa, Tina, Sunny, Vincent and others. The floor attendant Cici was also so helpful. The location is great, many restaurants around and short walk to The Kerry Center and Jingan temple. definitely recommend!

Second stay after very pleasant one two weeks ago, but slightly disappointed with a few things broken down in the room including the blue tooth speaker resulting in changing to another room which was a little hassle. Although nothing is perfect, but in a very competitive hospitality industry, the consistency of customers’ satisfaction maintains guests’ loyalty. Comparing with other hotels, Puli still stands out as a service oriented hotel. The amenities do look a bit tired and need to be taken care of or upgraded soon.

I always enjoye staying at this nice location hotel .Location is close to the subway, stores and restaurants.Staff was very friendly and accommodating . The room was spacious clean and very quiet the beds really comfortable .

I have stayed in this hotel before when it was the Hilton. It was good then, and it is good even now. It used the home tennis stars during the Tennis Masters tournament in Shanghai. The location is the best part of this hotel. and easy access to Metro stations, the neighboring roads Julu Lu Changle Lu and Fumin Lu are buzzing with activity on weekend nights with their endless bars and restaurants! a great place to chill out, and I did just that. I got upgraded to a fantastic room with a view of Jingan Temple!
