It would have been nice if you had the phone number. Oh, for a cheap option you could try the Jin Jian Inn. They hotels all over Shanghai. I think they have about 7 of them.

I think the most expensive room is 258 rmb down to about 178 RMB. It's a clean place. It also has internet. Doesn't offer much in amenities but it's alright for one or two nights.

You can call 021 3876 4588 to make a reservation. It's a central number and some of the operators speak English. Just try your luck.

I stayed at one called Greentree Hotel, close to Jing An temple and Nanjing Road. The price is only RMB258 and it was clean and included breakfast and had Internet. But I can't find it with Google. The credit card charge appeared as GE LIN HAO TAI.

Shanghai has a glut of hotels. Worst case you book something more expensive for one night and then find something cheaper the next day.

Sorry to post this, but I have rummaged through this site and can't find a thread on this - but I know it must have been covered before.

Where can I stay in Shanghai for an inexpensive sum (£25 ; $50 approx per night) and be very near the tourist area of Nanging road. This is my VERY FIRST visit to Shanghai or China. Please, a few hotel names and website so I can book. I arrive in Shanghai on the 8th August 2005. Many thanks.

does anyone know any places where the locals frequent? Im a student (and on a student budget), so Im just looking for an in and out Full Service, with YOUNG girls (no oldies).
Also, what metro stops would be the best to get off at and stumble upon a bargain priced underground establishment?
Thanks

The métro is very good and quite Easy to use in Shanghai
