Hanting Express (Shanghai Jing'an Temple Zhenning Road Branch)

For a budget hotel, this Hanting on Zhenning Road was reasonable. Unfortunately, there were some temporary construction work going on during our stay but that only occurs in day time so it didn’t affect us too much as we were out during the day. It is one of the newest Hanting, so the rooms were not smelly and were clean. The water pressure in the shower was good. The toilets are Japanese-type toilets with warm seats and automatic flushing (no bidet functions!). The beds (x2) were reasonable size (1 room), it fitted an adult and a child each. But if you are not able to co-sleep, I would suggest getting 2 rooms as the bed size is in between a large single and a small double. There are complementary Chinese tea and latte available at reception. There are washing machines (with inbuilt detergent dispensing) and dryers available to use. It is a 8 minute walk from the nearest metro station (Jiangsu) and 20 min walk to Jing’an Temple (Nanjing Road). English was barely spoken but the reception is happy to communicate with translation apps. Breakfast was available in their small dining room but we didn’t partake, so cannot comment.

Very clean, well designed room with comfortable bed. Lovely staff. Having laundry facilities on the same floor was very handy. We enjoyed our stay and a great place to explore the wonders of Shanghai.

Good Service Clean but no window with outside view small room but acceptable location us good near the urban area would pick this place again if visit ShangHai in future

The location is good easy to go anywhere. Front desk services are excellent. Thank you the manager and two front desk ladies helping extend stay for 1 night. Great help and very nice people. Next time will stay here again. Thank you

Stayed for 6 nights. It’s a relatively new hotel. However, it’s not exactly clean. Breakfast is mainly Chinese menu and staff don’t show any flexibility when it comes to making something without meat. The people at reception are meant to be friendly but their attitude feels like they are doing us a favour. They don’t smile. Definitely not going back here.

Clean, good service, free lattes
