I am travelling to shenzhen in first week of July. I am looking for a furnished apparment at a reasonable rate near rainbow supermarket area. Please advise

Shanghai Hotel :EXIT B,Huaqiang Road Station

An excellent hotel. Very centrally located, 5 minutes walk to underground train system. 10 minutes to Hua Qiang Bei Road , which is the major shopping street. Rooms are tastefully decorated with Chinese motifs. However the size of room is small, just enough space for you to walk around. The rooms are new, service good, it seems they have an attendent manning every floor. Feels safe. The breakfast at the steak house was so so…. the dim sum at the Chinese restaurant is just average as well…would return for its reasonable price and lovely rooms and central location.

The Shanghai Hotel is less than 5 mins to Huang Qua Lu MTR and the Shenzhen metro is incredibly cheap and efficient and gets you anywhere quickly. It’s about 5 or 6 stations from Lo Huo (the HK border point).

Nothing actually wrong with the hotel. Impressive facade, staff were helpful and spoke English. Had to give a 200 Yuan cash deposit on check-in. They gave a receipt and gave it back to us promptly on check-out.

The corridors are very worn, ripped wallpaper and badly stained carpets but once past that the room itself was clean. Beds were OK without being super comfy, lots of outside noise even though we were on the 9th floor.

Bathroom was clean with basics provided. I thought breakfast was included in the price but reception told us it was not. There is a buffet breakfast available for 39 Yuan but I didn’t try it.

Probably wouldn’t stay here again as most of the things I would visit Shenzhen for, spas, are more near the Luo Hu area but if you are going to other attractions then you could do a lot worse than stay here especially for the price.
