Rongju Hotel (Shanghai Chenghuang Temple)

Location is great But daily housekeeping is just topping up of water, change of towels and maybe clearing of rubbish bins. With a few ladies, our hair(fall) accumulated quite a bit after several days and we can see it on the floor… But honestly for the price point and great location, it’s still worth it for me.

The only good things about this hotel are its convenient location near The Bund, the metro station, and Yu Garden, plus the fact that the room includes a washing machine. Unfortunately, almost everything else was disappointing. There is ongoing construction directly in front of the building, the surroundings and lobby area are messy with trash piled up, and the overall cleanliness feels very run-down. In front of it is the trash collection area as you can see in the photos. The atmosphere is disorganized from the moment you enter, which already sets a bad impression. Worst of all, when I checked in on the evening of October 29 (around 6 PM), the male staff at the lobby was playing online games on his phone and responded with irritation every time I asked a simple question, showing very poor professionalism.

Welcome to Shanghai! Prices and quality are a bit different to the rest of China. Affordable, spacious and cental accommodation in Shanghai is hard to find. Rongju is a basic accommodation. Don't expect something fancy. Everything works, like Airco, refrigerator and washing machine. Bathroom is OK and beds are clean, although a little bit hard. Floor could be cleaner. Overall it's an OK place to stay conveniently located near exit 1 of Yuyuan metro station (line 10 and 14).

The room is suitable for four people, it is clean, receptionist always support and friendly. The hotel is located on the 5th floor of a market, so it is very convenient to buy gifts ✅😁

Clean and cozy room in the heart of Suzhou

This hotel and room have gotten older, there is mold on the ceiling and the place was not clean at all. We were coughing and sneezing the whole time. We were facing the street, which was quite loud, even during the night. In the pictures, you see an electric stove, but there is nothing to cook, not even a mug to make a tea. There is a water kettle, a fridge, microwave and a washing machine for laundry. The staff is nice but could not really help much, as we could not loan equipment. On a positive note, it is very close to the metro, the Bund, Yuyuan Garden. The bed is very big (1m80) and comfortable. The room is spacious.
