Hotels in People's Square, Shanghai

The room was very clean, the pillows were comfortable, and the lobby was also spotless. The front desk service was excellent, and the location was super convenient for getting around.

2nd time stay at this hotel and as always, it has clean & spacious room, just in the middle of Nanjing Lu Pedestrian Street so many shops, eatery & malls just outside the hotel. It has free washing machine & dryer to use. Easy to find many kinds of food around the hotel, mini supermarket just beside the hotel, friendly staffs and comfortable beds. Need to note that this hotel might has some few stairs to reach some rooms, so for elderly, make sure to inform them and request rooms to reach without stairs. Overall, a good and recommended hotel to stay in Shanghai.

My relatives from the US came to visit China, and they stayed at the Old Elephant Hotel. They found its location near Nanjing Road very convenient for getting around. They commented that the breakfast was plentiful and their room was quiet. Susu at the front desk was very welcoming and provided excellent service. My relatives said they would definitely stay here again in the future.

Youli Hotel has a very convenient and excellent location. There are many food options just beside and opposite the hotel, making it very easy to find meals at any time of the day. The main shopping area is only about a 10-minute walk away, and even the main attraction, 上海外滩 (The Bund), is within walking distance, which makes getting around extremely convenient. The room was clean and comfortable, and considering the price and location, it is definitely very good value for money. Everything we needed for a pleasant stay was provided. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. They took the time to guide us on where to walk and how to get around, which was very helpful for first-time visitors. They also assisted us with booking a car to the airport, making our departure smooth and worry-free. Overall, this is a great choice for travelers looking for a clean, well-located hotel at a reasonable price, with helpful and attentive staff. We would definitely recommend Youli Hotel to others and would consider staying here again in the future 😊

The hotel back door is just right beside Nanjing Pedestrian Street which makes it extremely convenient for shopping, dining & sightseeing. The Bund is just about 15mins walk from the hotel. It's an old school hotel! Hence, don't expect the rooms to have a smart technology system. Hopefully, the hotel will upgrade the rooms with smart technology system which is able to make things more convenient. We have a free upgraded room. The room is very spacious & clean. The room's heating air conditioner isn't blowing air, so a fan is needed to improve air circulation in the room. Ms Starry Cui & all hotel staff are very friendly & helpful.

Stayed for 7 days in the Family room in Dec 2025. Overall it was a comfortable stay although the hard product was old. Room was spacious with one king bed (good for 1 adult and 2 small sized kids) and a single rollaway bed (good for 1 adult). It came with a free mini bar (1 round) and we could get bottled water from housekeeping or from the hotel lobby. There was a stench in the toilet (suspected backflow of air from the sewer) which housekeeping attempted to solve by covering the drains using tissue paper. Hotel location was good, situated along the shopping street and subway. It is also within walking distance from the bund. Hotel service was relatively lacking. No attempt was made to assist me with my 4 big luggage at the lobby during arrival and departure. Would recommend the hotel for less fussy travellers who value convenience over services.

The room was surprisingly small. The power outlets were inconveniently placed, especially when using a universal adapter, which made it very awkward. The window could open, but it faced a sealed wall. Overall, it's a good hotel to stay at, and the pillows are very comfortable. The hotel's location is super convenient, within walking distance of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The BBQ place downstairs is delicious, and the xiaolongbao next door are also good.

I stayed at this hotel for three days and wanted to share my brief thoughts. When booking a hotel in Shanghai, I looked at many options and paid close attention to the negative reviews for each, and the Radisson Hotel was no exception. Many of the negative comments mentioned outdated facilities. However, after considering the brand, location, and price, I ultimately chose this hotel, though I was still a bit apprehensive. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find the hotel's location excellent, right at the intersection of Nanjing Road and People's Square, making it convenient to reach various popular attractions. The lobby has a typical luxury hotel style. Every detail in the room also conveyed that, despite its age, the quality is definitely on par with its competitors. The furniture is well-crafted with good materials, and the fixtures and sanitary ware are all from reputable brands. The overall condition is actually better than some newer hotels. Furthermore, the front desk staff upgraded us to a junior suite and provided an extra bed free of charge, adding a special touch to our short vacation.

The hotel room was rather comfortable, and the location was located nicely in a very busy prime area. I also like that the sink area was outside the room, so it was easy for everyone to get ready at the same time. Area was very strategically located, and was a short walk away from the Metro. Also had a few dining areas around the place, and good shopping areas. Short walk away from the bund. The only feedback given was that the room toilet had a little bit of a sewage smell, and the staff promised to look into it when we check out for future experience.

Hotel located at very strategic location, less than 5 minutes walk to Metro Station and around 8 minutes walk to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. Hotel receptionist Lily was efficient and friendly during our check in and provided us some small gift during check out, which makes our experience comfortable and nice. Hotel also helped us to collect our parcels making it very convenient to shop online. Our room was spacious and relatively cheap compared to hotel at this location considering it is Shanghai and near many famous location. They also have free gym and self laundry services. However there were a few points that could be improved. For hotel of 12 floors, only 1 lift that was functioning and the other lift was out of service throughout our stay, making sometimes waiting for lift over 5 minutes. The soundproofing of the hotel was also not very good. For the room we gotten, we can hear people walking past our room early in the morning and late at night (midnight) and people doing renovation or repair as early as 9am. Overall it was a pleasant experience and highly recommended.
