The room was good but there was bit of dust that I still could see in the room. No restroom's door so that it was accepted for solo travellers or couple but for friend or colleague you need to consider. Overall, I love this hotel 🥰"

Shanghai Baoan Hotel

Shanghai Baoan Hotel

📍 No. 800 Dongfang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai
★★★★ 9.1 (6,983 reviews)

"The overall decor is quite old, and the carpets have stains, although it's clear they've tried their best to clean them. The age of the hotel is visibly apparent. The hairdryer's power is very weak, so much so that it can't even dry short hair. When I called the front desk, they said there were no other hairdryers available, so I wouldn't recommend washing your hair at the hotel. Other facilities are comparable to the hairdryer's condition. I suggest the hotel consider a small-scale upgrade of some basic infrastructure."

Da Zhong Airport Hotel ★★★
"Pros: The hotel is right next to the terminal, which is super convenient for early morning flights. Cons: Not great value for money. The facilities are old and a bit rundown, and the service was just okay. I didn't get to try breakfast due to time constraints, so I can't comment on that. The room was quite small, and the decor is dated."

"Overall, the hotel experience exceeded my expectations. The service was genuinely excellent, and any issues were resolved very quickly. The only downside was that the air conditioning wasn't on during this period, so it got quite hot at night."

Crowne Plaza SHANGHAI NANJING ROAD by IHG ★★★★★
"The staff told me my room had been upgraded, but upon checking in, I found that my king room had been 'upgraded' to a twin room. Although they eventually switched me back to a king room, it turned out to be two twin beds pushed together. There was a 20cm gap on both sides of the bed from the nightstands. And they called this an upgrade! The entire process of handling and communicating with me, a solo traveler, was completely dismissive. I definitely wouldn't recommend this hotel and won't be staying here again!"

Tianhua Hotel Shanghai People's Square Nanjing Road Walkway ★★
"I actually wanted to stay in a different hotel (the one I stayed before), but it was fully booked so I chose this one and I had a very pleasant stay, even though it was just for one night. I got a better room than I originally booked. I'm a fan of loft flats, so it was a surprise for me lol It's quite small, but very cosy. The room was very clean, had everything needed for a stay. The staff doesn't speak English, even though it's almost a city centre of Shanghai, so prepare a translator. But still was helpful. I surely will stay here again and would recommend this place. The location is great as well."
