JI Hotel (Shanghai People's Square Fuzhou Road)

Sudah lewat malam dan saya malas nak bersusah payah lagi, jadi saya terpaksa menginap semalaman di sini. Ini memang mengubah pandangan saya tentang jenama Quanju. Saya yang berketinggian 160cm pun boleh cecah siling kalau melompat sedikit saja. Ketinggian siling sangat rendah dan rasa sesak. Ini kali pertama seumur hidup saya menginap di bilik dengan ketinggian siling serendah ini. Biliknya kecil, macam kotak, rasa macam sesak nafas, kurang oksigen. Dalam bilik pun ada bau kulapuk. Jendela menghadap ke koridor. Saya sangka buka penyaman udara boleh bagi pengudaraan, tapi penyaman udara bising, anginnya perlahan, langsung tak berkesan untuk pengudaraan. Peralatannya pun dah usang. Ventilasi tandas pun tak ada gunanya. Kalau buang air besar, baunya berjam-jam tak hilang-hilang. Dah tahun 2025, masih ada bilik macam ni? Sepuluh tahun dulu, bilik ni cuma berharga 50 yuan saja. Bilik yang disekat-sekat macam ni, boleh ke lulus pemeriksaan bomba? Nak sewa rumah pun belum tentu dapat yang teruk macam ni. Memang susah sungguh hidup orang biasa di Shanghai. Kapitalis yang tamak haloba ni, habis semua duit anak cucu pun dia sapu. Nanti akan makan diri sendiri juga.

Bilik sangat bersih, dan kebersihan tandas pula sangat mengagumkan! Petugas pembersihan memang sangat gigih. Bilik ini juga mempunyai tingkap, luas dan cerah. Kemudahan seperti sofa dan meja bulat juga disediakan, sangat praktikal. Untuk lokasi, hotel ini sangat strategik. Dari pintu keluar 15 Stesen People's Square (Laluan Metro 2), anda akan terus ke Raffles City. Kemudian, berjalan ke arah timur di sepanjang Fuzhou Road selama kira-kira sepuluh minit untuk sampai ke hotel. Ia juga berdekatan dengan Nanjing Road dan Muzium Shanghai (cawangan People's Square), hanya kira-kira sepuluh minit berjalan kaki. Pelbagai kemudahan lain seperti restoran terkenal Wang Bao He, Lao Ban Zhai, Lao Zheng Xing, Xiao Yang Sheng Jian, serta kedai serbaneka juga mudah didapati di sekitar kawasan ini, menjadikannya sangat mudah.

Amazing stay! The staff were very kind and helpful, plus the room exceeded my expectations. Location is great too! Just that from the closest metro exit you would need to battle stairs

This hotel is very accessible from PVG Airport via Metro Line 2 .Reach People's Square station walk to Exit 16 there are only 5-6 steps followed by an escalator, making it perfect if you are carrying heavy luggage. (I checked other exits like Exit 14, and they only have stairs, which would be difficult with bags). The location is excellent and close to many attractions. Make sure to download the AMap app. To get to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Turn right after leaving the hotel, cross the street toward the Lawsons station on your left, and walk straight toward the city lights. Once you reach Nanjing Road, turn right. From there, you can walk straight to take photos of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Great location, around hotel have many restaurant, shops selling delicious snacks. Easy to move around and get onto private cars. Hotel room is small though, some rooms do not have windows or so called, indoor windows while the windows opened to the view of hotel instead of outside.

Comfortable and clean family room with all the basic amenities required during our stay. There were plenty of bottled water in the room too. Breakfast was nice and cheap for the whole family. One of the front desk staff was very helpful when I approached him for help with booking transport and advice on some places.
