Shanghai Hills & Serendipity Xiaoman Two Beds Jing’an Temple Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Shanghai Hills & Serendipity Xiaoman Two Beds Jing’an Temple, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical chain hotel. The name itself tells a story — there’s something almost poetic about it that hints at the thoughtful touches you’ll find throughout your stay. It’s a three-star property that honestly punches above its weight, especially when you consider the prime location and the fact that recent guests have been rating it a perfect 10 for location alone.
The Jing’an Advantage
Here’s what I love about staying in this part of Shanghai — you’re right in the heart of Jing’an District, which means you can walk to some of the city’s best shopping, dining, and cultural spots without dealing with the subway crush during peak hours. The hotel sits on West Beijing Road, and I mean, you’re literally steps away from Jing’an Temple, one of Shanghai’s most famous Buddhist temples. You know what’s great about this? You can actually hear the morning temple bells if you open your window, which adds this unexpectedly peaceful element to your urban stay.
The Room Experience
The “two beds” setup works perfectly whether you’re traveling with a friend, colleague, or as a couple who likes a bit of space. Each room feels more like a well-designed apartment than a standard hotel space — there’s actually enough room to spread out your stuff without everything looking like a disaster zone. The beds are surprisingly comfortable for a three-star place, and honestly, the attention to detail in the furnishings shows that someone really thought about what travelers actually need.
Local Neighborhood Gems
What couples seem to love most about this spot — and trust me, the feedback backs this up — is how easy it makes exploring Shanghai together. You can stroll to Nanjing West Road for serious shopping, or head toward People’s Square when you want to dive into the city’s cultural scene. The metro connections from here are fantastic, but honestly, sometimes it’s nice to just wander the tree-lined streets of Jing’an and discover those little hole-in-the-wall places that serve the best xiaolongbao you’ll ever taste.
Why Guests Love It
That perfect 10 rating for location isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects something real about how this place enhances your Shanghai experience. You’re not stuck in some tourist bubble or way out in a business district where everything shuts down after 6 PM. Instead, you’re planted right where the city’s energy flows naturally, where locals actually live and work and play. The “serendipity” part of the hotel’s name starts making sense when you realize how many unexpected discoveries you’ll make just by stepping outside and turning left or right. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re experiencing Shanghai rather than just visiting it.
Apartments in Shanghai suit remote creatives with skyline balconies, fast metro links, and bilingual co-working lofts.

Reviews of Shanghai Hills & Serendipity Xiaoman Two Beds Jing’an Temple
Kim from South Korea – 19 March 2025 (10/10)
숙소 위치가 징안사 인근이라 교통이 편리했고 주변에도 맛집과 편의시설이 가까워 여행하기 좋았어요. 객실은 깔끔하고 모던한 인테리어에 필요한 모든 편의시설이 구비되어 있었습니다. 직원분들도 친절하게 응대해주셔서 더욱 편안한 분위기에서 지낼 수 있었습니다. 다음 상하이 방문 때도 꼭 다시 머물고 싶은 숙소입니다💗
