JinJiang Inn Guoquan

Although this hotel is nothing to write home about, it perfectly meets the needs of a traveller who doesn't need all the high end amenities and simply needs a clean, comfortable room to sleep in for a great price. The wifi works just fine, the room service is daily with new water bottles (2) and towels (2 sets). The staff working the front desk don't speak a lot of english but they do speak it enough to get the message across. The room is a decent size, the shower is acceptable as well. Heat/AC with a controllable thermostat is available to set your room temperature. The hotel is near Fudan university and across the street from Guoquan Road station (line 10). Unfortunately, the restaurant is probably the worst part of the hotel and I don't recommend it to any Westerners (locals may be fine with it but the food choices for breakfast weren't great in my opinion). I ate there the first morning but never went back (breakfast is 20 RNB). Security is good too. At night, you need your card to enter the lobby and at all times, you need your card to get into the elevator. In conclusion, very good value hotel. Very affordable and as long as you're not expecting a 4 star hotel, you should be quite satisfied with your stay, especially at the hotel's nightly rate.
