My family of three stayed in New Asia Hotel for 3 nights, before heading to Hangzhou and Suzhou, and returned to stay another night. The hotel is within walking distance to Nanjing shopping street (also subway station) and the bund, if you don't mind 20-min walk. You also get to see the not-so-pretty side of Shanghai%
as the hotel is situated in a neighbourhood that is quite run down. It would be quite scary to walk alone.
There is a few wholesale complexes for ladies' clothes and there is even a street market selling ladies' clothes on Saturday night. I'm sure the price must be good as it was really crowded and noisy with all the bargaining going on. A few streets from the hotel (towards the Bund) is Zhapu Road (乍浦路) with many Seafood restaurants.
The hotel rooms are ok in general, clean and come with necessary amenities such as hairdryer and drinking water. However, the beds in Room 314 were very hard, felt like sleeping on planks. On our return stay at Room 520, the beds are ok.
