From the room and the furnitures, you can tell that it is an old hotel. The lobby is grand but the room is not as great in comparison. Room was not well lit when curtain is closed and all the lights are on. However, hotel is situated at an extremely great location; right outside of the hotel is Nanjing Pedestrian Street. The Bund is walking distance. Nearby the hotel has many great and famous restaurants. If you don’t mind that the room is a bit run down (but relatively clean), I think this hotel is a great place to stay.

The staff Lin Feng was very helpful and welcoming when we arrived at the hotel. He saw that we had a lot of luggages and offer us a bigger room for our convenience. He even showed us the room. He could also help us a lot because he could speak English well. The room was nice and quiet. Everything was there what you need even a gym and free laundry is available.

Stayed for a night at Raddison Collection Hyland Shanghai. The location is obviously very central, and in the most crowded area of Shanghai. The hotel has two entrances and guests can directly get to Nanjing road through one of the entrances. It’s an ideal place to stay for tourists who wanna want to do sightseeing and not spend much time in the room. The rooms are rather small and not very bright. There wasn’t any bathtub in the room and the shower area was small. The air conditioner couldn’t be switched to heating mode and I felt a bit cold during my stay but I didn’t contact the hotel about it because I just stay for one night. The cleanliness was ok but not perfect, the reason might be that during this period the hotel was basically fully booked and the housekeepers were very busy. The staff that I met were all nice and helpful, especially the concierge staff who helped me with a package delivery that I had. Overall, my stay was ok but not great. I would recommend this place for its location but not for the rooms. Service was good.

The hotel is close to The Bun and within walking distance. The room is clean, but the soundproofing isn’t great , you can sometimes hear people talking or doors opening and closing. The Wi-Fi signal is available, but you need to be near the window to get it (and our window faced another building). However, the signal is always strong in the lobby. The lobby lights are turned off at midnight.
One small downside is that the staff didn’t manage outsiders who weren’t staying at the hotel but came in to enjoy the air-conditioning and charge their devices. Other than that, the staff were very helpful. We arranged for a car pickup at the hotel (note that the hotel has multiple branches, so be careful when giving the location). Luckily, the staff helped communicate with the driver for us.

Our stay at this hotel was truly enjoyable and delivered excellent value for money. The service throughout our visit was consistently professional and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The property maintained impeccable cleanliness standards in both the rooms and common areas, which we really appreciated.
The location was absolutely perfect - ideally situated for exploring the area with convenient access to major attractions and local amenities. You really can’t ask for a better spot to base your travels from.
While the hotel excelled in service quality, cleanliness, and location, the only area for potential improvement would be expanding some of the facilities and amenities. That said, given the competitive pricing, this minor limitation was completely understandable and didn’t detract from the overall positive experience.
Would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers looking for solid service, pristine accommodations, and an unbeatable location at a fair price point. Sometimes the essentials done exceptionally well matter more than having every possible amenity.

The room is very clean. There is enough space to comfortably open your luggage. The staff is very cute. The toilet is automatic, which is very pleasing to Thai people. The location of the hotel is very good. It is close to the subway station. It is only a short walk to Nanjing Road. Next to the hotel there is a convenience store and a shop selling fried buns that are very delicious. Across from there is a coffee shop.

Pros:
- room is clean, spacious
- location is great. Right along nanjing road. Walkable to the bund.
- staff allowed us to early check in
- concierge 礼宾部 available beside front desk that allows receipt of parcel delivery. Do email hotel for exact address. I ordered taobao stuff and sent to hotel concierge. Just need to provide order number and last 4 digit of my mobile to pick up my parcels.
- locker available for food delivery
- requested and got a room upgrade
- allowed dabao of hotel breakfast as we checked out early, missing bfast buffet
Cons:
- air con seem to be centrally controlled. Was a bit warm and stuffy in the day. Staff said we can open windows for cooler air.
- front desk staff were efficient but weren't very friendly. Didn't have eye contact and were glued to their computer screens when responding to our queries, not one staff but several staff on multiple occasions
- no robot for sending delivery to rooms. Something that our little kids looked forward to and experienced in other hotels.
- more pricey because of its location. Local driver suggest staying 4-5km outside central area to save on accoms and cab around.

The hostel's location is very central and close to the People's Square metro station, from where you can reach almost all the major sights. The shared bathroom was clean and cleaned several times a day. The beds all had curtains, which provided more privacy. The lockers were large. The Wi-Fi worked well. The staff were very friendly and spoke good basic English.

Shanghai People's Square Area Hotel Guide
Shanghai, or “Hu” as the locals call it, is perched right at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Sure, it’s famous for its fast-paced business vibe and skyline, but honestly, there’s so much more to discover here beyond the glitz and glass towers.

- Watch Out for Trade Fairs & Events: Shanghai hosts large exhibitions (e.g., China International Import Expo in November, Auto Shanghai in April), which cause price surges and low availability.
- Use Trip.com promo codes to unlock up to 8% off hotel.
- Opt for well-connected but less touristy areas like Jing’an, Hongqiao, or Xujiahui—close to Metro Lines 1/2/10—instead of pricier hubs (The Bund, Nanjing Road, Lujiazui).

QQiguaiyeguoThis is my fourth stay at Opartment, and it's always a fantastic choice for a staycation in Shanghai. I really appreciate their 'home away from home' concept; it's my go-to place when I want to clear my mind and relax in Shanghai.
Food deliveries are always brought directly to your room by a butler. From 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, the lobby offers complimentary croissants from Crave, along with savory vegetable bread and sweet fruit bread. They also provide complimentary in-room coffee service from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
For Qixi Festival, the hotel even surprised us with a complimentary bottle of red wine, which was a very welcome unexpected bonus!

GGuest UserAfter looking at the pictures, I booked a superior business room. It was obviously different from the pictures. I was shocked when I opened the door. The so-called window was just a small window in the bathroom. There was no window in the room. Please be careful when buying. There was air conditioning and hot water, that's it.
