Shangtex Hotel

What a great place to stay if you are visiting Shanghai. It’s in an excellent location, walking distance to lots of good stuff and close to several Metro lines. The rooms are quite lovely and the staff are very kind and helpful. For the price I do not think you will find a better spot. There’s a cute Mexican place next door which is accessible from the lobby and it’s wonderfully easy to have things delivered if you don’t feel like going out. Great shower with two different heads and hot water. I would say not to bother with the breakfast, the standard of food is poor and the other guests seem incapable of covering their mouths whilst coughing and sneezing which makes the whole thing feel like more of a superspreader event than a dining experience. I give this place a strong 9/10, only didn’t get the ten because of other guests antisocial behaviour but it’s to be expected so not the hotel’s fault. I will definitely stay here again and again and again.

Very accommodating, efficient and helpful staff, despite obvious language barrier 10-15min walk from Central West Nanjing Road, good value for money at the heart of Shanghai

air conditioning does not function. rooms are too hot to sleep in.
