Questions & Answers

I will be arriving earlier/later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

I will be arriving earlier/later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

Usually this is not a problem; you can arrange for an after-hours check-in with most hotels. However, you should always confirm with the hotel. You can use the "Special Requests" box in the booking process to inform them of your estimated arrival time in writing. It's important to remember that the property can't always accommodate these requests. It's always best to check with the property directly and in advance to avoid confusion. You can contact the hotel directly by calling them, the local telephone number you can get from Nehow's Local Guide after you finish the booking.

I want to check out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

I want to check out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

A late check-out can only be arranged with the hotel and usually depends on availability at the time of your stay. You can ask about the possibility at the front desk upon arrival.



Brought to you by Reviews of The City Hotel Shanghai

  • Basic & Convenient
    Patricia T
    Hong Kong, China | Nov 17, 2025 | Trip type: Business

    This was a very standard hotel, and I would recommend it to those who are going to be out and about all day and just want a comfy bed to sleep in at the end of a long day. The hotel location is great, with convenient stores and restaurants right across the street (and a beautiful mansion!). Downtown is also just a quick cab ride away. Knowing the traffic in Shanghai, this is a huge plus! The price for this hotel is also very reasonable.
    The downside of this hotel is that there is no free wifi! Also, during my stay I only had the breakfast once, and it was not too great. Overall, if you're looking for a convenient hotel without having to pay too much or too luxurious, then I'd go for City Hotel.

  • attractive location
    Piotr M
    Warsaw, Poland | Nov 3, 2025 | Trip type: Friends getaway

    the hotel is well located in the center, with the subway station to/from the Pudong Airport being about 15 minutes away, good views, very rich and varied breakfast, helpful staff at the counter, free umbrellas on a rainy day, close to the Nanjing Street with shops and restaurants

  • Good price and located near french concession

    Berlin, Germany | Sep 28, 2025 | Trip type: Friends getaway

    The room was clean, calm and big. Guests in this hotel were mainly chinese and if you like a good chinese breakfast, this is a place I can recommend The breakfast buffet also included a good choice for everybody. The standard was good for what we paid for. We would come again.

  • Convenient location, rooms need renewal

    Temuco, Chile | Sep 28, 2025 | Trip type: Family

    The Hotel has a good location. The service at the fornt desk and concergie are fairly good, althouhg their spoken English is not that great. Rooms need a renewal. Breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of local and "western" food

  • Too expensive for what you get
    Mark1974209
    Shanghai | Jul 11, 2025 | Trip type: Couples

    Be aware when you book a regular room, they charge you extra for the gym, the pool and even the Internet! Very old fashioned. Rooms are a bit smelly due to the carpet on the floor. And breakfast is really insufficient! Location is okay and beds are soft, but I will go elsewhere next time.
