I have stayed at Yafan longmen hotel Shanghai a couple of times on business trips and while it is a typical hotel the staffs are very helpful .The real benefit of this hotel is its close proximity to the railway. When I came back from one long train journey it was nice to just walk across the square to get... more

I traveled to Shanghai with a handful of students. Most of our trip was spent in housing, but our final night was spent at the Longmen. We had a pleasant experience. The location is good, as it is a 3-5 minute walk to the train, making downtown an easy 10 minute ride away. The rooms must have recently been redone,... more

Nice Hotel, 4 stars are the right. There are masterpieces of carved wood. "Bussines center" with poor English and to expensive Internet connection. Wireless not working. The hotel is next to the train station, not far from the bus station, however 30-40min to the center with the taxi. more

This hotel ceased to be affiliated with the Best Western brand as of May 2008, but it remains a very useful & comfortable place stay in Shanghai, especially for anyone needing/wanting a hotel very close to the main railway station (which is just a few minutes walk away - see pictures). more

And there was... more

The breakfast was a little over-priced by Chinese standards but very good with lots of options. It is located in the everbright neighborhood near a shopping area, some fast food joints, and... more

Hotel is newly built, so the rooms are clean, nice, and decent. However, the location is not ideal--while it is within walking distance to the train station and metro, etc, it is not convenient to find nice dining options or a general store nearby. The free breakfast is just ok. Stick with the plain porridge to be safe. The attempts... more
