"Would definitely recommend and revisit. Location very convenient. The room was very clean, there was a massage chair which was great. The washroom shower was clean, toilet was clean, sink was clean, bed felt clean, shampoo n soap didn't feel rough. I only took a video of the inside of the room, no picture to upload, but the lobby looks hella nice. The room looked fancy, the carpet inside the room didn't smell stuffy. The AC worked well. Service was great, very fast; cleaners were friendly too. Only complaints would be, elevators wait takes a while, and halfway AC on 7th flr could not cover the entire hallway. ."

"We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel in Shanghai. The location is excellent — you can reach many of the main central attractions on foot, which made exploring the city very convenient. Also, just a few meters across from the hotel there is a Line 2 metro station, which takes you directly to the airport, making it especially convenient when arriving or departing from Shanghai. The room was spacious and comfortable for two people with two large suitcases, and the bed was very comfortable and easily accommodated two people (1.90 m and 1.70 m tall). We really appreciated the convenient light switches that allowed us to control all the lights in the room. The bathroom was also spacious and well equipped, with a smart toilet and a separate shower. The room had everything we needed, including slippers, bathrobes, toothbrushes, bottled water, coffee and tea. Most importantly, there was no smell of cigarette smoke in the room. We stayed on the 9th floor and had a view of the street, which was nice. The room was cleaned every day, and it was also very quiet — we didn’t hear much noise either from outside or from neighboring rooms. Breakfast was not included in our booking, so we cannot comment on it. The staff were friendly and helpful. They kindly allowed us to check in earlier than the standard check-in time, and when we were leaving, we asked if we could weigh our suitcases and they were happy to help us. Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would be happy to stay here again."

After a tiring day, a hot bath in the room was absolutely amazing! I also enjoyed the afternoon tea!"

Hotel near Pudong International Airport Area,Shanghai
Opened in 2023, the Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT by IHG is a great accommodation choice in Shanghai. The hotel is just 3km away from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Just a short walk from Haitiansan Road Metro Station, traveling to most city destinations is a breeze. With multiple attractions nearby including MINE FARM, Lingkong Agriculture Garden and Shanghai Museum of Popular Geological Science, guests will find plenty to keep themselves occupied. This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. This Shanghai hotel offers parking on site. According to our guests, this hotel provides a very high level of service. This hotel is the usual choice for a large number of business travelers.

"Great value for a layover, but brace for the morning rush. Pros: · For the rate, the room is perfectly comfortable and the food is decent. The breakfast spread (seen in the pics) actually offers a good mix—Chinese food, plus coffee and juices. For a quick airport stop, it hits the spot. · Convenient transport: If you skip the shuttle, ordering a taxi directly from the hotel to the airport is super easy and fast. Cons to note: · Elevator & shuttle crowds: The biggest inconvenience is the morning checkout rush. Everyone is heading to the airport at the same time, so the elevators get jammed, and the queue for the bus shuttle can be crowded. It's absolutely fine for the price. Just leave your room 15–20 minutes earlier than you think you need to, or simply grab a taxi from the front door to avoid the shuttle chaos. Would stay again for an early flight."

"I was looking for accommodation in Shanghai and compared many places, and the negative reviews made me a bit worried! After staying, I found it to be very good! My child is particular about rooms and wasn't very satisfied with the previous chain hotels we stayed in, but was actually very happy with this private apartment! As soon as we entered, we saw a huge window, all three rooms were spacious, and the window view was first-class! The place was very new and clean, fully equipped, just like home. Unlike chain hotels where you can't hang clothes to dry, here it was no problem at all! Renting such a luxurious apartment for less than a thousand was incredibly good value. Five people renting two hotel rooms would cost more than this. I wish I had booked this place as soon as I arrived in Shanghai! The previous places I rented were expensive and small! It's a shame that when I asked the owner to extend our stay, they said it was already booked! Haha! After booking, I added the owner on WeChat, and they sent the password for direct check-in! Any requests we had during our stay were handled very promptly. The service was indeed excellent! We even got a red packet when we checked out! The downside is that it's a bit far from the subway station, about ten minutes, and the external environment is a bit old, but the internal environment is perfect! A 500 deposit is required. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons, definitely worth staying!"

Seeing our large luggage, he proactively upgraded us to a room closer to the elevator. When he learned I'd be returning to the hotel to rest for a bit after dropping my child off for an early morning flight, he even offered an extra breakfast. Also, the hotel's signs for exiting are very clear. Highly recommended."
