[2025 Shanghai Stay] Travel Guide for Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai-Pudong (Updated May)

Courtyard Shanghai Pudong: A Stay with Both Advantages and Disadvantages I recently stayed at the Courtyard Shanghai Pudong due to travel needs and had a mixed experience. I. Convenient Location The hotel is located on Weifang Road, next to Pudong's Century Avenue, surrounded by subway lines 2, 4, 6, and 9. It offers easy access to Lujiazui, The Bund, and Pudong Airport. 96 Plaza is downstairs, and Century Link is across the street. There are also McDonald's, FamilyMart, and other options nearby, making dining and shopping convenient and meeting the basic needs of business travelers. The walk to the subway station takes about 6–7 minutes, which isn't a major inconvenience for travel. II. 🏘️️️Slightly Cramped Room Layout I stayed in an executive king room. The room was relatively small, only about 20+ square meters, and felt quite cramped. The layout of both the sleeping area and the bathroom was not spacious, making movement in the bathroom a bit tight. However, the functional areas of the room were reasonably well-defined, meeting basic needs. III. 🛌Amenities and Facilities Need Improvement The overall facilities in the room felt somewhat outdated, showing their age, which matched the surrounding environment. The TV was small, and the viewing experience was average. When I inquired about the location of the toothbrush, the front desk informed me it was in the safe. While claiming to be eco-friendly, this approach felt a bit absurd. However, the soundproofing was quite good, effectively blocking outside noise, and the hygiene was well-maintained, with the room kept clean. The hotel has a standard gym and a large conference room, catering to business and fitness needs. IV. 🍱Dining Experience with Both Highlights and Shortcomings Breakfast is served on the first floor and ends at 10:30 am. When I went down at around 9:40 am, there wasn't much food left, and the replenishment wasn't timely. The overall quality was average, falling short of Marriott standards. However, the two Starbucks coffee vouchers provided upon check-in added points to the breakfast experience. Although it was a self-service Starbucks, it enhanced the breakfast. The Executive Lounge was recently only open for dinner. Afternoon tea could only be enjoyed with some beverages in the lobby lounge on the first floor, with no pastries. The lounge dinner (happy hour) was excellent, with a variety of hot dishes, pastries, drinks, fruits, and cold cuts. The tofu seafood rolls on the cold platter were particularly delicious. Breakfast offered omelets and a variety of noodles. The black pepper chicken was seasoned well, but some hot dishes were the same as those served at the lounge dinner. V. 💰️Cost-Effectiveness Analysis The weekend price is generally around 500 per night. Considering the dining options and location advantages, the price-performance ratio is decent. However, if you're looking for newer facilities and more spacious rooms, hotels like JI Hotel and Orange Hotel might be better choices at the same price point. VI. Inconsistent Service Quality The service was average. The Platinum member upgrade only resulted in a higher floor, not a larger room. I checked in late and didn't receive a welcome fruit platter until I left. These details indicate that the service quality needs improvement. However, the staff was friendly when addressing issues. VII. 💗Other Practical Tips If you're in transit or have urgent needs, the hotel's location and surrounding amenities meet basic requirements. However, if you have higher expectations for accommodation and service quality, it's recommended to compare other options in the area. Communicate your room preferences in advance for a better stay. Overall, the Courtyard Shanghai Pudong has a convenient location and some good dining options, but there are shortcomings in facilities and service. You can decide whether to stay here based on your own needs.

#HotelReview #PudongDistrict #NearShoppingMall #GoodLocation I stayed at Courtyard Shanghai Pudong (Marriott affiliated hotel). I was only staying overnight in transit, but the location was great and I was very satisfied! 💞Reasons for recommendation: It takes about 50 minutes to get from Pudong Airport to the hotel with Trip.com's airport shuttle. There is also 96 Square around the hotel, and if you leave the hotel entrance and cross the big intersection immediately to the left, there is a shopping mall so you won't have any trouble finding food. There was a Chaggee and a Starbucks in the mall. There was also a convenience store and a McDonald's near the hotel! The lobby is small, but it was Christmas time so there was a Christmas tree decorated. This is the breakfast venue. The noodles are made on the spot, so I was very happy to be able to eat them warm! The front desk staff who dealt with me spoke English. It was about 15 minutes by DIDI from the hotel to Yuyuan Garden, so it was very convenient for going to the Bund side.

If you miss the Ginkgo biloba in Guilin Haiyang Township, you will have to wait another year[!][!][!] Autumn is the season of harvest and also the most beautiful time in Guilin Ocean Township. This place is known as the "No. 1 Ginkgo Town in the World". Every November, millions of ginkgo leaves turn yellow, forming a fairy tale of autumn. [BlueHeart] Guilin's Haiyang Township has more than 10,000 ginkgo trees over 100 years old, distributed in various villages. Every autumn, the breeze blows gently and the leaves fall in all colors, forming a series of meaningful autumn pictures. [DoubleHearts][HeartBeat] 【Best viewing period】 The ginkgo leaves turn the most brilliant yellow from mid-November to early December each year, but the beautiful view only lasts for about 2-3 weeks. Ginkgo Village Introduction [One] Datongmuwan Village: This is one of the most famous ginkgo viewing spots in Haiyang Township. There are many ancient ginkgo trees in the village, the oldest of which is said to be more than 1,000 years old. [Two] Xiaotongmuwan Village: Compared with Datongmuwan Village, this place is more peaceful and pristine. The ginkgo forest is more dense and has relatively fewer tourists. You can take as many photos as you want and enjoy the tranquility and beauty. [Three] Huamei Nong Village: The ginkgo trees in this village have a unique flavor, with ginkgo trees dotting the fields, in front of and behind houses. Here you can experience the most simple rural scenery [Grin][Awesome]

🏨"Courtyard by Marriott (Shanghai Qilu Wan Yi Da Jiu Jiu)" About a 7-minute walk from Century Avenue Station on the subway Two bus stops to Yuyuan Garden My conclusion was spot on. There is little information from Japanese people in Shanghai. Even if there are reviews, most of them are from before COVID. Even high-end foreign hotels are in a similar situation... so I relied on the Marriott brand lol 💡There are 4 points ①One subway stop from the center and Pudong Airport on Line 2 Close to the Bund and Yuyuan Garden but not noisy 🙆🏻♀️ ②There are 5 lines at Century Avenue Station Easy access to places far from the center ③There is a shopping mall nearby Can be used to purchase souvenirs and food ④Staff who can speak English are stationed This is a big plus in Shanghai! Please note that because this is a foreign-owned hotel, English may not be available. The room was spacious and comfortable. There were no problems with the water (bathtub x plan), and I didn't have to worry about cleanliness. Amenities are also available (but note that there are no cotton pads). I hope this will be helpful for those who are going on a trip or business trip to Shanghai when choosing a place to stay. #China #Shanghai #ShanghaiHotel #RecommendedHotel #ShanghaiHotel

Located in a place with very good access from the airport. You take line 2 from the airport and get off at a subway station called 'Century Avenue'. Moreover, this station is a hub where various lines intersect, making it convenient for transferring to go shopping or sightseeing somewhere else. There is a large shopping mall between the subway station and the hotel, and if you go through it, you can take a shortcut. By taking the shortcut, you can reach the hotel in about 5 to 6 minutes from the station. If you go around, it will take about 10 minutes. The hotel has a very high ceiling in the breakfast venue, allowing you to spend a very pleasant time from the morning. The rooms feel a bit old, but they are well cleaned and I was able to spend a comfortable time. I would like to use it again when I come back to Shanghai.

This Courtyard actually has the official name "Courtyard by Marriott Grand Hotel", and probably no other Courtyard in the country refers to itself as a "Grand Hotel"; you can search and see for yourself, haha. This Courtyard is very close to the Rayfont Hotel & Resorts, and the price is quite reasonable. There are also occasional points promotions, so I decided to give it a try. The hotel has some history too, having opened in 2001 and partially renovated in 2011. 🏠Room Type: Executive King Room 🎭Layout: To the right of the entrance is a full-length mirror, straight ahead is a wardrobe, and to the left is a washbasin and a bathroom with a separate wet and dry area, leading into the bedroom. 🛏️Bedroom: This room type has been renovated, with the carpet and sofa 🛋️ being different from the old ones. The style after renovation looks quite comfortable, and there isn't any old smell, but the windows are a bit small. 🛁Bathroom: To the left is the shower area, to the right is the toilet 🚽, and the amenities have been replaced with large bottles. The washbasin is outside, and there is a sliding door that can separate the bathroom from the bedroom. 🥢Dining: When the dining room was not open, the 🍺lounge's happy hour offered set meals, with self-service drinks, and breakfast was also delivered to the room in the form of set meals. 🗿Service: The front desk was very attentive during check-in, and they fulfilled the requests I had, with a good attitude. 🚗Transportation: Subway lines 2, 4, 6, 9 at Century Avenue are just across the street from the hotel. ☑️Surroundings: Closer to the subway than the Rayfont, right opposite Century Link Mall, very convenient for dining and drinking, and also convenient for going to other places in Pudong. 📍Detailed Address: Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Qilu 💰Average Cost: 800＋
