Jin Jiang East Asia Hotel - Shanghai

When my cab from the airport dropped me off a good block away from East Nanjing Rd and the driver pointed me in the direction to walk, I was a little miffed. But a block later I realized there were no vehicles allowed on this crowded pedestrian street and if they were it would be a very slow ride. I got my orientation and found the building where the […] address indicated the hotel was. What I saw at first were clothing shops, food shops, accesory shops and other retail ventures but in the middle of the building was a sign for East Asia Hotel. Going one flight up, as the sign directed, I cane to the front desk and checked in. I soon learned that when you left the building through the first floor elevator exit, your doors opened to a dress shop and you were surrounded by other retail outlets. East Nanjing Road is definately the place to be if you want to shop or be in the midst of crowds of people. It is definatel lively but fine except for the annoying peddlers trying to sell you watches or toy helicopters or skate wheels to attach to your footwear. The hotel accomodations were fine, a very decent size room and bath with good amenities. The only issue was there were no windows in my room and I'm not sure if any of the rooms had windows. This was more of an issue because during my stay it was overcast and rainy and I never knew if it was raining until I went outside and I refused to buy an umbrella from those annoying street hawkers. I finally did buy an umbrella in another part of town. The location was very good. People's Square with it's park, museums and theaters was only a three minute walk. The Bund and its view of the Pudong skyline was about a fifteen minute walk and the subway was a block or two away. And of course you had the shops and malls and street peddlars of East Nanjing Rd. All in all I would recommend the hotel but I think it good to know some of the quirks that I mention above - or I might have ruined the surprise. Les mer

Don't have anything!! Just a place to shower and sleep. Location is great though

The hotel is well located for those like to be close to the heart of the city and those like shopping. Internet connection is possible with the cable. The room is large and relatively cheap. The bathroom is clean. My room had almost every possible necessary stuffs. I recomment asking for a room opposite to the side of the main street (Nainjing road) […] which is too noisy if you wish to sleep long everymorning. In this street are always lots to see and do. The staff are friendly and helpful but they aren't good at English. One negative point was that I couldn't leave my baggage after check-in at the Hotel, as my flight was late evening. Les mer

The hotel was easy to get to from the train station. The front desk personnel don't have much english but they were okay. The location is fantastic as the People's Square is a short (500m) walk away and all the major subway lines are there. My room was good although there was a stain on the carpet that was a little unusual. All in all, a great place […] unless you want 4-5 star. It was perfect for me. Les mer

This hotel was alright. It is conveniently located on the Nanjing Shopping road, but this means that you will have to walk a block or so to get a taxi, as well as take your luggage to and from one. The entrance to the hotel is actually through what is a few shops during the day. The lobby is on the second floor, with only an elevator door on the ground […] level to take you up. Check-in was easy enough with me not knowing any Chinese. Since I had checked in late (11:30 PM) they said they had already given my room away, but were able to offer me a complimentary upgrade to a room with a computer in it. The room was kind of sparsely decorated but clean enough. The mattresses were very hard, but the down comforter was nice. My room unfortunately overlooked a back alley instead of Nanjing Rd. The AC worked very well and the bathroom was adequate. Concierge downstairs was of very little help to me. When trying to explain that I wanted to go to the Shanghai Aquarium (which is quite large), it took a good 10 minutes to get my point across and assistance getting a cab. The information she wrote down for me was refused by two drivers, so it wasn't much use at all. Overall, a good location and modest accommodations make this hotel a good deal for the budget traveler. I would stay here again, but would also gladly upgrade to a higher-class hotel for better service and amenities. Les mer

This hotel is on a pedestrianised street, so when you leave, the hotel staff wheel your bags to a taxi, but arriving you pull'em yourself! It's a great location. Entrance is thru a clothes shop! The hotel is past it's best, but it's fine. They tried to make us take a twin room but we insisted (and it took a while) until they got onto the internet booking […] people and got it sorted. Electric goes off when you leave the room so fridge is no good! Otherwise great. Staff booked our onward train ticket for Hong Kong which saved us lots of grief. Les mer

Our stay at East Asia Hotel in Shanghai was short (1 night) but we did not have any major problems. The room was small and the window only looked across to other walls, but it was clean and decently cozy. When we checked in the staff were fast, hassle free and a porter came right away to move our bags. It is not the worlds best hotel, but if you are […] on a budget or are not super picky I think this hotel is a good choice. Les mer

Hotellin sijainti on erinomainen. Sijainti Nanjing Roadin varrella aivan kaupungin liikekeskustassa ja lähellä metroasemia palvelee varsinkin huonosti liikkuvia matkustajia. Kävelykadun liikkeet ovat aivan vieressä ja hyviä ruokapaikkoja onaivan lähellä.

cet hôtel malgré des critiques parfois mauvaises est un bon hôtel surtout très central à proximité de tous les centres d'intérêts de la ville et dans la rue la plus animée. Les chambres sont propres (mis à part quelques taches sur la moquette sans importance), bien entretenues, il y a la climatisation et le double vitrage protège bien du bruit de la […] rue. Nous y avons passé 7 nuits et rien à redire! Les mer

Très bien situé, proche du métro, centres commerciaux, musées.. Idéal pour court séjour et shopping. Service tickets de train, spectacle, taxi... Bon qualité / prix.

Nuestra llegada a China fué a través de Shanghai y en este hotel. La verdad es que sufrimos una serie de condicionantes (horas de vuelo, calor tremendo, entrada en una habitación que no había sido limpiada, etc.) que seguramente nos dieron una imagen mucho peor de lo que es. Pero la realidad es que se trata de un hotel de muy bajo nivel, solo aceptable […] si el precio es muy asequible y si se quiere estar en el centro de uno de los distritos más activos de la ciudad. Sin duda, en ese momento desearia haber pagado 20 o 30 euros más para estar en otro tipo de hotel. Les mer

Situé en plein coeur de la ville dans la grande rue commerçante, l'hotel est extrêmement bruyant et le métro qui passe en dessous fait trembler les murs jusqu'à 22h30. J'ai eu une chambre sans fenêtre ce qui n'était pas spécifié au départ. Hôtel peu confortable qui n'est pas adapté au repos mais très pratique pour un court séjour à Shanghai car très […] bien situé.

Perfekt läge mitt på gågatan East Nanjing Road. Enkelt hotell, men helt ok. Svårt med engelskan.

A sélectionner si vous etes peu regardant sur la propreté de la salle de bain et sur le confort (matelas vieux, moquette sale, moisissure dans la salle de bain .... ) Toutefois bien situe, peu cher et personnel réactif et parlant anglais .

Sono davvero contento della scelta effettuata. La posizione è centralissima e comoda per muoversi ovunque. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è eccellente considerando la posizione in cui ci si trova. Pulizia e servizio sono altrettanto ottimi.
