Hendrix Smart Hotel Shanghai

This hotel is fantastic! It offers five meals, and the facilities are excellent and well-maintained. A special shout-out to Xiao Liu at the front desk for their incredibly attentive service! This was my second stay here, and although I had to leave in a bit of a hurry this time, I'll definitely be back if I get the chance again. Truly grateful for the wonderful experience! Wishing health and happiness to everyone I encountered during my visit!

This hotel was officially recommended for my child's competition, and it's listed as 3-star online – which I seriously doubt. Honestly, this is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in, even worse than budget chains like GreenTree Inn. First, let's talk about the abysmal hygiene. Stepping out of the elevator, you're immediately hit with a strong smell of smoke, and the entire hallway had a strange, lingering odor. I even overheard a parent arguing at the front desk because her family room had a 'super dirty mahjong table' – her exact words. Facilities-wise: There's no dedicated parking lot, so finding a spot is entirely up to chance. There's no proper restaurant either; the lobby serves as the dining area, supported by what looked like a minuscule kitchen. They claim to offer five buffet meals, but the food selection is extremely simple. We could even tolerate that, but the rooms are incredibly small. The most astounding thing, though, was finding only disposable paper cups for brushing teeth and rinsing! Has anyone else ever stayed in a hotel that provides disposable paper cups for toiletries? This was a first for me, and it's absolutely ridiculous. This hotel is definitely not worth 500 yuan.

I stayed at this hotel to visit Donglin Temple. The room I booked was quite spacious, but the hotel itself felt a bit dated. The service was quite good. It's an all-inclusive package with five meals a day. I tried a few meals, and surprisingly, the best was the late-night snack I almost skipped – the white fungus soup was perfectly stewed. For parking, we parked at No. 900 Wanan Street, right at the intersection. At first glance, it looked like a residential compound, so I hesitated to turn in. I got out to confirm before driving in. When leaving, just ask the front desk for a parking voucher, and parking is free. The hotel's laundry room is on the second floor, but it only has one washer-dryer combo. I saw someone waiting to use it, so I decided not to bother. Wanan Street is considered a fairly lively area in Zhujing Town. Right next to the hotel is a local market, as well as Lao Sheng Chang, Luckin Coffee, Lai Yi Fen, and various bubble tea shops.

My home was a bit too crowded after Chinese New Year, so I booked a hotel. The location is great, right in a lively area. Free parking is available at the lot across the street, though there are no EV charging stations. The room was clean and smart, with excellent amenities. The large screen mirroring feature was fantastic for watching concerts and movies. The room was also quite clean, and the water and drinks in the fridge were all complimentary. The bathroom even featured a smart toilet. However, there were no slippers in the shower, making it quite slippery. The towels and bath sheets were very old and frayed at the edges, though they were clean. The inclusion of five meals daily was truly unique and a fun surprise, haha! All guests could partake, not just two per room. Afternoon tea consisted of simple snacks, pastries, and drinks – nothing fancy, but better than nothing. The late-night supper was very generous, as pictured, with an auntie on hand to cook fresh wontons. Some breakfast items were leftovers from the previous night's supper; I just had some porridge and pickled vegetables. We had group meals for lunch and dinner elsewhere, so I didn't try those. Overall, it's a very decent option, especially if you're in Zhujing Town. I'd definitely choose this hotel again when I return.

On a business trip, this was my first time in Shanghai's Jinshan District. I happened to book a one-night stay for 300 RMB, not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. The room was fully equipped with smart amenities, and there were free fruit and drinks. The front desk lady was incredibly nice and attentive. What was even more surprising was that in addition to three meals a day, they also provided afternoon tea and a late-night snack, making all five meals free and self-service. Can you believe it?! It truly felt like home, and I have to give it a thumbs up! While I'm unlikely to return to Jinshan, I definitely recommend it [grin]

The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable. A smart hotel, all your needs are taken care of with a simple call. The hotel offers excellent value, with a room costing just over 300 yuan per night, including five meals.
