Hotels in Beijing and Shanghai

Hello,
In April, I will stay in Beijing and Shanghai. I'd like to find nice
hotels (that means well located, clean and friendly - not necessarily
luxurious) at reasonable prices (max. 80$ - 60 EUR for a double room
including breakfast).
Do you have tips for me?

Thank you.
How did you get that rate? On all websites, I saw much higher prices.
