East China - Shanghai Hotels

[Gaolei]

Checkout the City hotel on Shanxi Nan Lu and Yanan road. It is close to everything, cheaper than most, GF, decent breakfast and reasonable internet.

I am looking for a hotel in the Jingan disctrict which is close to my main office, and of course Malone's and Manhattans. I have stayed in the JC Mandarin with is girl friendly, but run down with very hard beds. I have also stayed at the Swissotel, which is a few blocks away. It was GF too but more expensive and the rooms are sort of small. They also charge a lot for wifi.

My budget does not permit me to say at the Ritz or someone where like that. However, I am also looking at the Hilton and URBN Hotel. Also, the Radission Ble at Peoples square has some good deals so I would like to know what you think about these hotels.

Thanks all,

AL

AL, did you even read my post below you? When people say RTFF, I think they could be a little more helpful since there are so many posts here. But when you don't look down one post? Sheeesh, Hilton is not GF. If you get in before 10pm maybe. If you don't mind signing the girl in, it is no problem. If this is an issue, go elsewhere.

Yes, Shanghai hotel is very girl friedly. At least it used to be. The only problem is that your local collegues may smile a bit when you tell them staying in Shanghai hotel. It is diffiult to convince them that you acidentally stay at a hotel with well known sauna. I don't know if the sauna is open again but anyway the hotel have a certain reputation.

There are other othels just beside. If I remember correct Meridian is another one. A bit closer to metro, about same price, better reputation, no problems with girls, sometimes some WGs in the lobby bar later night. And it is still easy to go Shanghai hotel for a sauna. The sauna beside temple is also wery close. Another hotel is Hilton. More expensive, more WGs outside, probably in the bar, too. I have no experiene of my own with Hilton.

Not Hilton, I stay there often. No girls in the bar (or rarely, unless you mean the top floor that I don't frequent)

They are also strict on signing in after 10pm

I have booked this hotel for an upcoming business trip to Shanghai, Is this hotel girl friendly? I couldn't find anything in the forum search. Some help would be appreciated.

I have never had a problem. They even have an Irish Pub downstairs in which you can find a few WG every night. I am sure they get picked up and taken to the rooms upstairs very often. They are all Chinese and definitely older than what you might find in Manhattan or the Saunas but to each his own.

Hi Everyone,

I am preparing my first visit to China (next month). My company booked me at the Swisshotel. Shanghai. I could not find any recent information related to this place in this forum. Does anybody know if it is allowed to bring girls in the room? Are there action in the hotel itself or nearby?

Hope someone can help me to find my way.

Sam.

PS: I am not used to China forum so I initialy posted my question in the genereal Shanghai section. My appologies.

Check this forum and you will find the answer.

I have seen a few requests on here in the past asking about a good option for an affordable hotel in Jing'An with good proximity to Manhattans, etc. I recently stayed at Rui Tai Hotel Jing'An and was very pleased. The location could not be better. Its literally right across the street from Nanjing Xi Lu Metro station and has the following western establishments within 1 minute walk from the hotel: DQ, Carls Jr, Papa Johns, McDonalds and Starbucks for anyone that likes a taste of home once in awhile. Lots of other shopping all around the area as well. And most importantly, Manhattans is a 8 to 10 minute walk or just a few minute taxi ride from the hotel.

I think I paid about $65 / night and that included free internet and free breakfast buffet as well. Its not the four seasons or anything but its a very clean and comfortable hotel with staff that speaks passable english. The breakfast buffet was nothing to write home about but they had a mix of western and asian with all the staples such as bacon, sausage, egg station, etc.

I think its my new favorite hotel for convenience and price.

Oh, and its very GF. Tested it many times and no problems at all.

Thanks for the tip. It seems like a very good hotel based on reviews on tripadvisor.com, and it is cheap. I like it's subway-friendly location-two stops away from the Pudong Hooters, and close to other venues.

I just booked it for my next trip to Shanghai.

Haven't been to shanghai for a couple of years and plan to try manhattan's on an upcoming trip. But a google search shows two different addresses, one on Ju Lu and the other on nanyang Lu near xikang lu. They are a fair distance apart. From the posts, I think the Ju Lu location is probably the most current, but did the bar move recently? Or are there 2 bars? Is Ju Lu still a good street for other bars? Any suggestion on whether tongren lu or Ju Lu is a better bet? I see references to bar rouge as a high end place on the bund with higher quality girls. Any advice on that? In return, I will post on my experiences when I get back.

Thanks!

Ju lu lu and tong ren lu are losed except a few bars. Sometimes it is also nice to the tong mill, a nice place but now with only a few bars but you have the full attention of the girls. Sometimes they think you are an atm machine. But anyway, I have quite good time there.

I will be staying at this Howard Johnson for 10 days. Any good mongering / VIP massages places close by?

Thanks for your help.
