HanTing Hotel (Shanghai Train Station)

The location is great, right next to Shanghai Railway Station. There are restaurants downstairs and a small supermarket across the street, which is super convenient.

It seems like hot water is only available at night; during the day, it's just lukewarm. The shower water temperature at night is hard to adjust; it's either scorching hot or freezing cold... The facilities are quite old.

It was really convenient, especially since my train arrived so late. The area around the station was well-lit with police cars around, which made me feel very safe. The room was quite spacious, no complaints at all.

In late June, I visited Shanghai with my parents, also taking the opportunity to see relatives and old friends. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Shanghai Railway Station, making it very easy to find. Just take Exit 6 from Metro Lines 1, 3, or 4, turn left, and you'll spot it immediately. The '5-minute walk' felt longer because you have to navigate through an underground shopping area after exiting the turnstiles, and frustratingly, there's no escalator at the subway exit. Shanghai Metro can be a bit perplexing at times! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and even the security guards were warm and welcoming. Breakfast is a buffet; while the selection wasn't extensive, there was certainly enough to fill us up, saving us the hassle of finding a place to eat in the morning. The room was clean and well-maintained. Although a bit compact, it was perfectly sufficient for three adults. A full-length mirror was a nice touch, and the lighting was bright enough, perfect for doing makeup.

Pleasant environment, excellent service, and a very comfortable room.
