I chose this hotel while looking for a place near Pudong Airport, mainly because it had spacious rooms, convenient laundry facilities, and an airport shuttle.
The shuttle schedule wasn’t very flexible, but it was still reasonably useful. The laundry facilities, however, were excellent. They had an LG washing machine and dryer, which was a big plus. At the hotel I stayed at before coming to Shanghai, the dryer wasn’t very effective and I had to run it two or three times. Here, everything dried perfectly in just one cycle.
The room was also quite spacious. We were able to spread out all of our luggage and still had plenty of room to move around.
As mentioned in other reviews, there is a Walmart within walking distance, so we went there to buy some yogurt.
There’s also a popular Shanghai-style 生煎包 (shengjianbao) restaurant right next to the hotel, and we ended up eating there twice. Right next door, there was another restaurant where we had beef noodles and lamb skewers, and both were delicious.
Getting into downtown Shanghai does take some time, but it wasn’t difficult at all. We actually hadn’t planned to go into the city, but we suddenly needed to buy something, so we made a quick trip there. There’s a bus stop a short walk from the hotel, and from there you can get into the city using a combination of the bus and subway.
We chose this hotel because we were only staying in Shanghai briefly before heading to Germany, so the location worked perfectly for us. However, if you’re planning to spend several days sightseeing and exploring downtown Shanghai, I wouldn’t recommend staying at this hotel for your entire trip.
