Designer looks for a steal can be snatched up at this small hotel near buzzy Zhongshan Lu walking street. Rooms are compact but feel very comfortable with fresh furnishings, glossy glass showers, soft indirect lighting and techie touches like electric-operated curtains and built-in Bluetooth room speakers. Staff are very friendly, but best of all, the beds are dreamy.
