Yuan Gu Guesthouse

The hotel is a little bit far away from the city center, but you can take a bus to get to the nearest subway, overall the hotel is clean and the room was spacious. There's some maintenance that needs to be done because it looks older than the pictures. I wouldn't reccomend it if you're solo travelling or with friends because the place is more targeted to families and there are usually a lot of children around so it's a bit noisy, and there is no coffee shop or restaurants near the area. The lady at the reception was always available to help even if I couldn't speak chinese.

If I can give this place a negative review I would! Nothing like what is advertised! No microwave! No washing machine! The room are so dirty! The room is so worn out! The woman in the front has a massive attitude, made us wait close to an hour for her to come down and check us in, I called her she told me she's in the tea room busy. There is no escalator and we where on the top floor, we had the room with the balcony, the balcony is so dirty my son came back inside with black feet and black knees. The whole place smells like pickle vegetable, no room tidy up the whole time we where there, the towls have holes in them. There is cobwebs everywhere! There's also no doors in the bathroom so you better have a good relationship with whoever your there with. The water pressure is a joke my son can pee stronger than the water. The pools was green, the red pavement was all cracked. There is NOTHING around or even lights so becareful if your walking at night. I honestly don't know how they can win trips award for 2021, makes me question trips. It has breakfast in the morning but it is honestly the worse breakfast on the planet! Children play area looked extremely unsafe and dirty. Chicken there is pretty scary. If you don't like cats and chicken don't stay there. Actually just don't stay there in general! The bed not really bed, it's a very thin mattress on wooden pallets. It's so dirty under there no one ever cleaned under there, if you're given the room 311 see if you can see a packet of stuff is left there, see when you stay there if it's still there, good indication if they ever clean under there. We left on 25.4.2025. I know they're pretty cheap but so not worth the money. There is a bus to disney which is handy, leVes 7:30am and does pickup at night but the driver is very rude! He rushes you like a flock of sheeps. They do organise the pickup on wechat which is very handy but you're also in a group with a few hundreds of people who post stupid questions. The shower curtain doesn't cover the full bathroom so you can either use it to cover the door or the shower area but not both. Overall, trips please ask them to update their pictures, looks nothing like the picture they advertised. Final score -5 if possible

Near Disney and price was very low. Stayed for the pool and slide, but the pool was closed and slide looked too warm down and dirty. The room did look like the picture, but in the corners it was very old and dirty, and the AC did not work properly. The front desk lady was VERY kind and patient with me as I do not speak Chinese and she helped me carry my suitcase up the 3 flights (no elevator).

This place is actually very different from the pictures. The building is very old and is not clean and new as in the pictures

stayed here with some friends when visiting shanghai. very nice place, though quite far from citycenter.

Extra points: a shuttle bus leaves at 7am and picks up at 9pm and 10:20pm. Very convenient 🙂. The room is massive but a lot of TLC needed. Bed linings were clean. And bed is super comfortable. No noise during the nights. We all had quality sleeps.
