Hotels With Breakfast in Shanghai, China

After landing at Pudong International Airport last night around 10 PM, it was too late to go home, so we opted for a nearby hotel that offered airport shuttle service. We hurried to catch the 11 PM shuttle. In the morning, shuttles depart for the international airport every 50 minutes past the hour. The shuttle service was quite good. However, the hotel's facilities were really subpar. We were initially given a standard room, but the shower drain was clogged. The staff kindly upgraded us to a family room. Unfortunately, the sink in the family room's bathroom caused my right thumb to bleed quite a bit because the drain stopper was so stiff and wouldn't budge. The entire room felt quite stuffy, and the hotel itself seemed old and rundown. Even the new room we were given had drainage issues... Its convenient location is a plus, and for just one night, my expectations weren't high, so the price was acceptable. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but it was enough to fill up. A warm bowl of congee was a nice touch too.

Service: Excellent service! It was my first time staying here, and they even helped me get familiar with the room. Responses were prompt, and there were welcome snacks. Facilities: Decent. The room was a bit small but had everything I needed and wasn't outdated. Hygiene: Clean, and housekeeping was timely. Breakfast was plentiful, with freshly made noodles and wontons. The hotel is close to the subway station and not far from the main attractions, offering great value for money. There's only one elevator, but the building isn't too tall.

Checked in at the airport hotel. The room was pretty standard, but clean and tidy. The main advantage is its proximity to the airport, making it ideal for business travelers or those with early morning flights who struggle to wake up. It's split into a South Wing and North Wing, with an elevator connecting directly to the airport, which is super convenient for getting to the terminal in about a ten-minute walk.

I had a red-eye flight back from my trip, and instead of taking an expensive taxi home while exhausted, I decided to book a hotel with a shuttle service. This way, I could get some rest and head back to the airport for the subway home once I was refreshed. I initially thought 'Vienna' sounded like a privately run guesthouse, but I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I was picked up. Instead of a beat-up van, it was a clean and tidy mini-van. The driver was very polite, there weren't many people in the car, and it was a quick ten-minute ride to the hotel. The lobby had a nice atmosphere, and the staff weren't at all tired despite it being early morning. They stood up to check us in as soon as they saw us. We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a family room, which was larger and quieter at the end of the hallway. I then discovered the hotel is part of the Jinjiang Group, a state-owned enterprise, which explains the significant investment. They use a mini-van for early morning pickups and a large Yutong bus for daytime transfers. The hotel has a small gym and laundry room. The room itself was quite spacious, much bigger than express hotels in the city center. The bottled water was Nongfu Spring, and after returning from Queen's Palm Hotel in Hainan where they only provided additive-laden water like Ice Dew, this detail really impressed me. They even thoughtfully provided disposable toilet seat covers and child-friendly toiletries (something even Hainan didn't have), with toiletries that felt like a full care package. The room was spotlessly clean; I deliberately touched the floor, and there was no dust on my hand, which is truly commendable! The shower stall also had no residual water stains or hair. There was a QR code on the wall for feedback, showing their commitment to service. As a Trip.com member, I opted out of breakfast. After all the discounts, the room cost 240 RMB, and I could check out at 2 PM. I slept in until noon, ordered takeout, and then took the shuttle back to the airport for the subway home. My child was happy, feeling like we had another day of vacation. I slept very well with no noise disturbance. It was a very satisfying stay. Just two small suggestions: The faucet in the sink is too close to the basin's edge, so water splashes out every time you use it. I had to use a bath towel to block and absorb the water. Also, it would be great to have a high-powered domestic hairdryer, like a Leifeng, and perhaps a stand to secure it so it doesn't get taken. That would further improve the experience. Overall, I still want to praise the hotel; it was a very satisfying stay.

My nth time in Shanghai, and this time I really wanted a river-view room, so I chose the Kempinski, and it was a great experience! Waking up and opening the curtains to see the Huangpu River truly made this northerner very happy. It's right across from the Bund, next to the 'Three Piece Set' (Lujiazui skyscrapers), so the location is excellent and convenient. **Facilities**: The hotel's overall decor is decent, and the bathroom is really impressive. The shower, toilet, and sink areas are all separate and very spacious. **Service**: I was quite surprised that when I called the front desk and room service in the evening, no one answered… Also, I had to go downstairs to pick up my takeout myself, and there wasn't even a robot, which was also pretty shocking…

I only stayed here for a night on New Year's Eve so this review is limited to my experience during my stay. First, the hotel is quite easy to find, there's a really tall tower next to it. It's less than a kilometer away from Lancun Subway Station. There's an ALDI shop across the station. Upon check-in, the kind front-desk staff upgraded my room to executive and gave me a room on the east wing (city view). The room is kind of out dated design-wise but it's very clean. I think it's time to update the room interiors and fixtures to make better impressions. Nevertheless, it was still a nice, spacious, and comfortable room (with a functioning tub). The breakfast was good, but choices were kinda limited. There's bacon, sausage, and beans and that's basically it for the western options. Finally, I requested for a late check-out because I had a terrible back pain and wanted a little extra time to recuperate, but I was denied 😔 I do understand that there was high occupancy on that day, but yeah, my stay would have otherwise been perfect.

The process from booking the hurtle shuttle via WeChat was very convenient, the hotel staff particularly Xiao Li and the driver were really accommodating and friendly! The hotel is 10 minutes drive away from the airport but 45~ minutes to Shanghai central. Thank you for a comfortable stay. I appreciate that you have the airport shuttle service too! the hotel room was as pictured and the river view was nice during the winter. The instructions to pick up from gate 27 was very accurate too.

This hotel in the Lujiazui business district offers incredible value for money. It has a classic Chinese old-money style, and the ***** New Year decorations were very detailed. The service was also top-notch. This time, I stayed in a Bund-view room in the Zijin Building, which had a full floor-to-ceiling window. I could lie in bed and watch the sunset in the evening, and then enjoy the illuminated historical buildings of the Bund at night – truly a feast for the eyes. The afternoon tea and happy hour at the 29th-floor Executive Lounge were more than enough to fill me up. There are also several other restaurants to choose from, like Yi Cafe, Yi Hai, and Jade 36. The breakfast buffet was extensive, with a great mix of Chinese and Western options. I'll definitely be back!

The Wi-Fi was incredibly slow! **Location:** Just a few minutes' walk from Shanghai Railway Station and the subway, not far from the main road. There's a FamilyMart and some restaurants downstairs. **Facilities:** A proper hotel with an elevator, air conditioning, and self-service laundry. The shower had good hot water. The wooden furniture looked a bit dated but seemed durable and of good quality. It appears to have been renovated, and the renovation quality is decent. However, I have to complain about the Wi-Fi speed – it was excruciatingly slow! **Soundproofing:** Average; I could hear conversations from the next room. **Cleanliness:** Relatively clean. **Environment:** Both inside and out, it was neat and orderly. **Service:** They proactively offered a room upgrade (perhaps due to fewer guests during the off-season) and could store luggage for us. **Breakfast:** Although breakfast was included, they actually provided a 15 RMB voucher per person to use at a neighboring restaurant. You pay for what you choose, and anything over 15 RMB needs to be paid out of pocket, which felt a bit like a rip-off. However, if you plan carefully, it's manageable. The breakfast quality was relatively average, but it was available from 6:30 AM, which is convenient for early travelers.

Although the hotel is a bit far from the city center, its prime location by the Huangpu River with stunning views of Yangpu Bridge more than makes up for it. The night views are absolutely breathtaking and definitely worth staying a night for. It's also excellent value for money! The front desk staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The same lovely lady with glasses handled both my check-in and check-out, always greeting me with a smile and sending me off with one too. Highly recommend!
