The Drama Hotel

Jing'an District Shanghai|0.85km from Shanghai Natural History Museum
Other reviewers have written that this is an “opera” inspired hotel but anyone with a background in Shakespeare will see through that. Each room is named with a word from a verse of a Shakespeare play instead of numbered. Rooms have Chinese editions of Shakespeare’s plays and a sort of “newsletter” explaining the connection between the Bard and the hotel. The bar has A Hamlet quote depicted in fluorescent lights. Michael Fassbender’s “Macbeth” plays on a big screen in the lobby. It’s clear someone here really likes Shakespeare. As to the hotel itself, it is recessed from the street making it somewhat hard for taxi drivers to find but ensures a quiet nights sleep in a lively part of the city. You’re a short walking distance to places like Tock’s and Taco Bell and just a little further distance for the Starbucks Roastery. This is an even better location if you need to visit the US Consular Office for passport related issues and the like as it’s only a few minutes walk away in the Isetan building. Leave your bag and computer here to minimize the security rigamarole of the visit there. Only negative potentially is that my room was pretty dim even with lights on, but that was a minor point, at least to me. Probably not an ideal location if you’re a first time Shanghai tourist looking to spend most of your time strolling the Bund and darting back and forth to Pudong— about a 20 minute taxi ride away. But if you’ve done the Bund and you’re in Shanghai for other reasons, great location. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would certainly stay again.

露女俠暖舍公寓(大田路分店)
4.6/54 Reviews
Jing'an District
The house has a lot of space, each room is very large, the two toilets are also very large, the house decoration is simple and generous, the hygiene is also very good, the quilt towel is white, they are very clean, the tap water is very large, and the temperature adjustment of the house is also very smart. The location is also very good, very close to the Natural Museum and the US Consulate, there are fruit shops, convenience stores, printing shops and the like downstairs, the only downside is that the quilt is a bit heavy and it is not very comfortable in summer. Also, it is recommended that the landlord remove all the dead plants in the house, which will affect the beauty (did the cleaning aunt not water it?) In general, I like this homestay very much, giving me and my family a good mood this time in Shanghai, if I come again, I am willing to book here! The stay was very smooth, so I didn't contact the landlord, but I want to say thank you!
壹度bl1113公寓(大田路分店)
4.7/563 Reviews
Jing'an District
Located in the bustling downtown area, the transportation is extremely convenient! Close to Nanjing West Road subway station, it's easy to get to Pudong Airport or Disneyland, saving time and worry. The living room and dining room are spacious, the sofa is comfortable, and you can overlook the Natural Museum from the window, with a nice night view. The most satisfactory thing is that the room is fully lit, clean and tidy, and quiet at night. The kitchen and bathroom are also very clean, feeling just like home. The kitchen is fully equipped, allowing you to cook delicious food and enjoy the taste of home.
Shanghai Stylish Pied-a-terre at Jingan central (West Nanjing Road)

Jing'an District
This is a really comfortable apartment in a great location. Transportation to everywhere is made really easy with the West Nanjing Rd subway just across the street. There are 24h convenient stores and a large western supermarket nearby for grocery shopping. The inside is spacious and has a decent kitchen and a convenient set up of a bathroom, large closets, and 2 large bedrooms with king beds. We were here for a work trip and stayed for about a week and the amenities are complete to serve the apartment as a home away from home. The host is very responsive and accommodating and she also provides clear instructions for check-in/out and for the usage of all the equipment in the apartment. Thank you, Faye. Highly recommend and will come back again in winter to try out the floor heating!

Although it is an old community, it has the taste of old Shanghai. The house is very clean and comfortable.

Shanghai's Seasons and Apparel

Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate. Summers (June-August) are hot and humid, while winters (December-February) can be quite cold.
