Lemon Hotel – Metro Line 1 Line 7 Changshu Road 200 meters Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Lemon Hotel – Metro Line 1 Line 7 Changshu Road 200 meters on the 18th floor of Yunhai Mansion, you immediately get why this place has such a strong following. The elevator ride up gives you a hint of what’s coming — sweeping views of Shanghai that honestly make you pause for a moment. It’s one of those three-star properties that punches well above its weight, and you can feel it the moment you step into the lobby.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about Middle Huaihai Road — you’re basically in the heart of everything that matters in Shanghai. I mean, Changshu Road station is literally a two-minute walk, which connects you to both Line 1 and Line 7. That’s gold in a city this size. But what really got me was how walkable the neighborhood is. You’ve got French Concession vibes just around the corner, plus some of the city’s best shopping and dining within easy reach. The couples who rave about this place (and there are many) aren’t wrong — there’s something romantic about being perched up here with the city sprawling below you.

The Room Experience

The room itself is compact but thoughtfully designed — very much in that efficient Asian hotel style where every square meter counts. What surprised me was the attention to detail for a mid-range property. The windows are large enough to actually enjoy those city views, and the beds are genuinely comfortable. You know what I appreciated most? The soundproofing actually works, which is no small feat when you’re on a busy Shanghai street. The bathrooms are clean and modern, though don’t expect a lot of counter space for spreading out your toiletries.

Service and Amenities

The staff here really seem to get what travelers need. Check-in was smooth, and they’re helpful with directions and recommendations without being pushy about it. There’s no fancy restaurant or elaborate amenities — this isn’t that kind of place. But honestly, with the location being what it is, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options within walking distance. The WiFi is reliable (crucial for staying connected), and they keep the common areas clean and welcoming.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.5 location rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it’s the real deal. You’re getting incredible value for money in one of Shanghai’s most desirable areas, with metro access that makes the entire city feel accessible. The combination of being centrally located but tucked away on an upper floor gives you this nice sense of being above the chaos while still being part of it. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own little perch overlooking the city. It’s smart, well-located, and genuinely comfortable — which, let’s be honest, is exactly what most travelers actually need.

Best hotels in Shanghai blend sky bar jazz, Michelin dim sum, and spa suites with city views.

  What could be improved: there is only one small elevator and the hostel is in 18th floor. to me it is not a problem but some might find it annoying

• Huijun from Austria – 24 April 2025 (9/10)

  Location was really great. It was really clean. If you plan the shower time right, you don’t have to wait at all. There was always a cleaning lady at the shower facility who always make sure, that’s the shower is cleaned after each shower.
  
  What could be improved: Rooms are not soundproof. I recommend oropax for the stay. You can hear everything from your neighbours and outside.

• Annie from United States – 17 March 2025 (9/10)

  I liked how small and cozy the room was! The staff were super helpful in figuring out the laundry machines since I didn't have a Chinese phone number to start the machines myself.
  
  The lobby was comfortable and had a lot of seating. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were excellent! I liked how many shower-head options there are and each shower had lots of space to put my stuff
  
  What could be improved: Room was a little warm. Only one elevator and it took a long time since it had to go all the way up and all the way down
