Homeinn Plus Hotel (Shanghai Lujiazui Mall Road Subway Station)

The hotel is ok for the price but not recommended when you cannot speak fluent Mandarin. We had a bad experience with a night shift staff who was very rude... Playing games while we were having trouble locating our daughter's phone dropped inside Didi taxi. He was oblivious and very unhelpful. We took a video of him playing games right in front of the counter and showed this to his manager. His manager made it up to us by helping us talk to the Didi driver and retrieiving the lost phone. But the staff playing games in front of a client while on duty is unacceptable. In contrast, there's a very hard working staff who keeps looking for ways to help people. Mr. Zhang. I took a picture of him to commend his efforts in welcoming guests and bringing tea to those seated. Internet here is terribly unstable and unreliable. Generous access to bottled water, coffee and tea. Breakfast is ok. Many good restaurants around to try. Especially the one across Little Camel BBQ and right beside crab roe xiao long bao.

The building is around the corner of the main street. Amap again not accurate as there is another home inn but ours was home inn plus. The entrance was not welcoming as you need to take to level 5 for the lobby reception. Staff in front is also not welcoming. Cold interaction. No explanation nothing just check passport and hand over key card. Lobby has big sitting area. Gave water and coffee complimentary at lobby but only on the first day. The other 2 days it is not working or not turned on the coffee machine. Room was clean and equipped with smart hub you can ask the "hey google" china equivalent to draw the curtains. Tv is huge and bed was comfortable. Location is quite central but walking to green line was 1km. Blue line was about 500m. I would not suggest if you have young kids or leg injury, lots of walking. It has shopping malls all around like times square. But to get to yuyuan or nanjing, didi ride would cost more 15 rmb one way. I was able to leave my luggage on last day as had late flight. Took didi to take maglev train journey to train station about 25mins. All in all, I would say see where you would like to base out, if you like nanjing bund area, proly stay over the river. But downtown shopping mall and nearer to the tower and sky scrapper, this is nearer.

Good location near everything Only 3 mins to metro station. There are malls around the places. Very easy to get to signseeing places. Close to Hey Tea, close to new York begalous. Only one bad thing is fruit flies in my room 🥹

The room is clean and spacious. The receptionist is friendly and provided the great service. The location is considered strategic as the hotel is not away from the tourist attractions.

One of the best hotels we have seen in Shanghai - very clean, location close to everything and the price was surprisingly low. We will definitely come back 😊

The location is convenient for travel and there are many restaurants. Surrounded by shopping malls, there will be loud music until midnight.
