Haiyou Hotel (Shanghai Bund Yan'an East Road store)

Very polite staff, helped me to order food. The room smelled like cigarettes, though I requested non-smoking room. The mattress is hard. Location is great

Very good location, recommend, 3 minutes from Yu Garden

Location was great being walking distance to Yu Garden, The Bund, and Nanjing Road East. It was hard to find because I arrived at Shanghai in the evening so it always a challenge looking for hotels at night. Check-in was simple because I showed my passport and desk clerk was able to organise my room booking without conversation. I found the reception, hallways, and elevator areas are in need of a facelift. The room was great with my own bathroom and I actually like a hard bed, acoustics need improvement because you can hear the conversation in the rooms next to you. For my time I just needed a place to sleep by myself, affordable and small because I was sightseeing all day and night. Coming from a country where smoking is banned inside public areas and some outdoor spaces for events. The smell cigarette smoke was everywhere, even if you shut the one window - it still found a way in. This place is ok for short stays if you can put up with it's condition and that fact people ignore the smoking signs. I found out on my last day that the nearest subway station was 200m from the hotel which was annoying because I was walking the Nanjing Road East station every day and getting off there. So maybe a simple public transport map of the nearest subway stations/bus stops at reception for tourist to take a photo of would be really helpful.

10/10 location and price but the hardest mattress I’ve ever experienced my life

Good location. Rooms are clean. Good price. Nice place to stay around the Bund. Lots of restaurants and lots of attractions around. Highly recommended.

It’s ok to stay here. The only thing i don’t like is the shower room area, only covered by a curtain, not a proper
