The Best Mid-Range Hotels in Shanghai

  • Captain Hostel: Lodged in a 1920s Art Deco building just steps from the Bund, this popular maritime-themed hostel offers clean dorms and simple double "cabins" for around ¥400 after discount, a whopping good bargain for its location. After a hard day's sightseeing, you can sip a cold beer on the rooftop bar (which has fabulous views of Pudong) and be grateful you weren't shanghaied like a sailor of yore.
