Cheap Hotels in Shanghai

Planning a trip to Shanghai

Shanghai is known for The Bund, Pudong skyline, shopping districts, business travel and excellent rail and air connections. Hotel value can vary widely between major transport hubs, famous sightseeing areas and less central neighborhoods, so compare location and travel time along with the nightly rate.

High-speed rail makes multi-city trips practical. In expensive city centers, a hotel a few metro stops away can offer better value without sacrificing convenience.

How to keep hotel costs under control

• Start with the district, station or attraction you actually need, then compare room prices nearby.
• Check whether breakfast, taxes, deposits and cancellation terms change the true total price.
• For rail trips, compare hotels around the correct station; large cities often have several major stations.
• For airports, confirm which terminal or airport your flight uses before choosing an airport hotel.
• Keep passport-name spelling consistent across hotels, flights and rail reservations.
