Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Putuo

Holiday Inn Putuo is located on the bank of Suzhou River in the Putuo District of Shanghai. It is just 5-minute walk from Ĺongde Metro Station Line 11 and 10 10-minute walk from Caoyang Road Metro Station. The location is ideal if you want to use the Metro for sightseeing. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Good this is that it has only 7 floors. Suzhou River provides an ideal path for a night stroll.

The hotel is pretty clean and the interior looks ok and fairly modern. Furthermore, the location is pretty awesome. Even though it is not in the immediate city center, you can be basically everywhere more or less quick on metro or bike. The neighborhood is residential and very cute and calm, walking along the river is amazing and there are some malls nearby. In addition, the hotel staff is nice and helpful as far as they can with their translation devices. However, the breakfast is average and the rooms are not perfect. E.g. the toilet door doesn't close entirely so that people can see when you are on the toilet. We mostly put the trash bin in front of the door to prevent it from swinging open.

Great quiet location, breakfast was very good. Lily and Jiajia at the desk were very helpful with the service and request.
