By Lainey | December 1, 2007

Here are some other hotel and hostel options that can be considered when visiting Shanghai. I have not stayed in any of these yet, but I am familiar with the addresses and all seem to be within distance of popular attractions in Shanghai, and accessible via public transportation:

Motel168
16831683
or (+8621)63168168
http://www.motel168.com/
This is a popular western chain with several branches all over Shanghai. Contrary to the hotel name, the rooms here are not 168 RMB per night. They are more like 298 or 398 RMB per night. The nearest one I know within the Puxi city center is the Yanan Road branch. However, this is located at the Yan’an East Road which is nearer to Shanghai Jiao Tong University than it is to the Bund Area.
