Hello,

I am looking for 4* hotels, in central Shanghai, for my 4 days stay. Would like to find a comfortable, good looking hotel in a central position, good for shopping and restaurants nearby.

Allocated budget will be max 120 USD/room/night.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Central 4* Hotel in Shanghai - please suggest

Charms is only 3* AFAIK. The rest would be Chinese 4*, but probably not international 4*, probably with the exception of the Ramada.

You might also want to consider Donghu Hotel in the French Concession.

I have a biz partner from France who always stays at the Salvo and is always happy about the value for money. Perfect location.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I%26#39;m considering the Salvo or the Donghu Hotel.

Especially the Conghu Hotel seems interesting to me because of the quiet %26amp; green area surrounding it (at least this is what I understand from the website).

About the Donghu: I read it is in the French Concession area of Shanghai. Is it far away from the Bund, Nanjing Road and all the rest of city attractions ?

Thanks !

Not far nor inconvenient. Donghu Hotel is 5 mins walk from Changshu Lu or Shaanxi Nanlu metro stops on line 1. Takes under 10 mins to get to People%26#39;s Square (interchange for lines 1, 2 %26amp; 8) which%26#39;s the start of Nanjing Lu pedestrian street. You can then change to line 2 and alight 1 stop further at Nanjing Donglu stop then walk about 5-10 mins to the Bund, or just walk all the way along the pedestrian street.

If you%26#39;re ok with less stars but a more apartment-like living space, Citadines Jinqiao is a good choice. You can get a studio or 1 bedroom apartment through Ctrip.com. Located near People%26#39;s Square right behind the New World department store and 5 min to the metro.

Disclaimer: I am a Ctrip shareholder, but I%26#39;ve also made more than 30 bookings through them as well and never had problems.

Thanks to you all for your suggestions.

I am still trying to find more hotels in Shanghai, but I have a problem: I don%26#39;t know where is the center of the city. I need this info to evaluate the position of the hotel. Could you please tell me a couple of streets, intersections or something similar which represents the city center ?

Thanks again

Hello, still here...

I%26#39;ve found another interesting hotel:

The Bund Riverside.

Prices are good, location seems okay.

Any comment on this ?

Let%26#39;s say we have 3 finalists:

Salvo Hotel, Donghu Hotel, The Bund Riverside.

Which one would you suggest for a 4 night stay ?

Of course we are tourists, first time in Shanghai (and in China), we like to spend most of our time outside the hotel to see everything the city has to offer, but we also like to come back in hotel everyday to have a quick break between 4-6pm, just before going out again for diner.

Thanks !

The districts that make up ';downtown'; would be Huangpu, Luwan and Jing%26#39;an, with parts of Xuhui included as well. You don%26#39;t necessarily need to be stuck at People%26#39;s Square all the time, there%26#39;re other metro stops which are also in lively areas. On metro line 1, Huangpi Nanlu, Shaanxi Nanlu, Xujiahui; on metro line 2, Jing%26#39;an Temple, Nanjing Xilu and Nanjing Donglu; on metro line 8, Hongkou Stadium. People%26#39;s Square is an interchange for all 3 lines.

In order of personal preference: Donghu Hotel, Salvo Hotel and Bund Riverside Hotel.

Hi officially the center of the city is the People square.From here u can work it out.Bund riverside is not bad ,not too far from the metro n next strret to Nanjing dong lu located at Beijing east road.But i still prefer Charms if i were to stay at a cheaper hotel.The rate is about the same at these 2 hotels.Charms is a stone throw from Nanjing donglu n metro.Taxis r easier to get too n within 5 mins walk to People square.Though its a 3 to 4 star hotelwith a new refurbished lobby,the facilities r really not bad.I used to stay at the suite room with abig bedroom a ketchenette,n a separate hall for about 750Rmb.,amaybe the rate is slightly higher now.
