Jing'an Ziyuan Apartment Hotel

Shanghai Staycation & needed a dog friendly hotel. Positive : Location is great, walkable to many sights, metro, restaurants. Aldi supermarket over the road. Good value. Shower AND bath. Comfortable bed. Washing machine. Major positive: They take animals. We brought our dog and no problem and no extra cost. Grass area in front of hotel entrance for dogs to pee on. Negatives : finding the place is a little tricky, but luckily when I rang the person who answered spoke English. You need to ask the guard to let you in the small gate at the address. Hotel is round the back. No one on reception. Called again, then waited for some one to arrive. She took our Wechat, so after that communication was easy. Dont expect a fully equipped kitchen. A few bowls, 1 knife, 1 spoon and 2 glasses. Had to ask for 2 teacups (tiny!) . Ok since we ate out all the time, but wish we'd bought big tea mugs from home! We appreciated having a fridge. I'd definitely stay again if I needed a dog friendly hotel downtown. Or even if I needed a hotel apartment for a while...if price was right.... and I'd bring a few kitchen items from home!! 🤣

For this last time on the first day too much noise from upstairs flat, from 4 am until I have to go down and complain at 7am. After that, it was better. I prefer to stay in this flat, when i go to shanghai and I will spend more days, and I want a kitchen at least. It's near the supermarket but not very near to the metro, you have to walk a bit (15 -20 minutes at least ). The shampoo- hair conditioner it was not good, the packages were dirty.

This place is really cozy and the owner is really nice. I will come here again.
