Tongji Guest House - Shanghai

Apart from the main hotel in the same building as the reception, the other rooms in different buildings are quite ordinary, dark, and cold in winters. The air condition is mostly useless, unless turned on for a long time. House keeping is random and has no fixed time, so its better to inform the reception when you need it. The location is near the Tongji University dormitories in Zhangwu Road. It is close to Tongji subway station of Line 10. The main campus is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. There are a number of restaurants in Zhangwu road and Siping road, so its best to explore around and find your food. Overall, a very ordinary budget hotel in Shanghai. I would prefer to stay in JinJiang Inn or Jitai Hotel, both about 5 minutes walk from the subway station, and closer to Tongji University gates.

The hotel is not far from the metro station Tongji University (5 minute walk). The rooms are of reasonably size the bed size is very good! The rooms are almost clean. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is a Chinese breakfast, don't expect continental breakfast!! I have stayed here three times, each time for a week. It can recommend the hotel, if you don't mind grabbing breakfast outside of the hotel. Price for king size bed 298 yuen (~45€) per night (in 2017).

I was at Tongji guesthouse when I went to Shanghai for a conference at Tongji university. The guesthouse had all the needed amenities. It was OK. The staff was also OK. There is nothing special about this place. But during the time I visited Shanghai, it was raining and the environment through my window was nice. Also I really liked the neighbourhood. There were plenty of eating places, a nice coffee shop, a 24 hour family mart and numerous banks. Also it just a walking distance to the Tongji university. If you are not fussy about luxury and are only in search of the basic needs, this is a decent and a convinent place to stay.
