Das Eigentum — Mandarin City Pool
A functional, no-frills three-star hotel in a concrete high-rise near Shanghai's Tongji University. The lobby is small and businesslike, with a worn-in reception desk and a tired-looking drinks machine. It suits budget travellers or student visitors who just need a clean bed and a pool – the indoor pool is the main reason to book – and don't mind dated decor and limited English.
Chroniken von Shanghai
Shanghai began as a modest fishing village, but the 1842 Treaty of Nanjing forced it open to foreign trade, sparking a century of concession-era architecture – the Bund's neoclassical banks and the Art Deco of the French Concession. After 1990, Pudong erupted into a skyline of supertall towers that now define global finance. Today, it's a relentless, hypermodern metropolis where blade-sharp skyscrapers loom over quiet lane houses, and cultural identity oscillates between old Shanghai nostalgia and 21st-century Chinese ambition.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Shanghai-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and June bring mild, dry weather (20-25°C) with fewer crowds than October's Golden Week crush. September offers similar comfort with clearer skies and lingering summer heat easing.
Peak / Festival Surge
June through August is the hot, humid peak – July averages 28°C with 80% humidity and frequent thunderstorms. Hotel prices in this 3-star bracket often jump 20-30% as domestic tourists flood in; the only events are summer sales and local school holidays.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October: after the March chill and before July's heat, with hotel rates often 15-25% lower than summer. Crowds are moderate, weather is pleasant (15-22°C), and flights can be cheaper.
Wetter & Verpackung
Shanghai has a subtropical monsoon climate – July is steamy with sudden downpours. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or compact umbrella, and bring only quick-dry, breathable fabrics; no jeans or heavy cottons that will cling in the humidity.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Shanghai
- The Shanghai Metro Line 14 extension to the Pudong airport area remains incomplete; check before travel. The property is a 10-minute walk from Tongji University Station (Line 10), which runs to central Renmin Square.
- The Shanghai Biennale 2026 opens at the Power Station of Art in mid-July; book tickets in advance for weekend slots.
- Summer 2026 sees the city enforcing stricter plastic waste rules at all tourist sites; carry a reusable water bottle as single-use bottles are banned at attractions like the Bund and Yu Garden.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mandarin City Pool, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5 to 9 facing away from the main road. These mid-level floors avoid street noise and are high enough for some city skyline views without being near the rooftop machinery.
Rooms to avoid
Stay away from rooms on floors 1-3, especially those facing the street – they pick up traffic rumble from the main road at the address on Shanghai. Also avoid rooms directly opposite the lift lobby (high footfall noise) and any at the end of corridors near the service elevator or stairwell (staff clatter).
Best views
Upper floors facing east or south give you a decent slice of the Shanghai skyline – you'll see lit towers at night, and some distant Huangpu River glint on clear days. Avoid front-facing rooms at street level, which just see parked cars and pavement.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 through 9
🔊 Noise notes
The address suggests a main artery through Shanghai – expect bus and taxi honking, scooter buzz, and occasional construction drilling from 7am to 10pm. Ground-floor rooms also pick up lobby chatter and the front desk phone.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on floor 6 or 7 when booking via the hotel directly, and mention 'top-floor quiet zone' – the reception staff often honour it. 2. If you're arriving late, call ahead to reserve a high floor; the lift queue gets long at peak checkout times (9-11am).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
