IntercityHotel Shanghai on the Bund East Nanjing Road is located in Fuzhou Road, a century-old cultural street in Huangpu District, Shanghai, and occupies a prime location: 5 minutes' walk to the People's Square business district and Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street, and 15 minutes' walk to the Bund International Complex and Yu Garden. Seamlessly connected to the four subway lines of 1/2/8/10, the hotel is 3 kilometres away from Shanghai Railway Station and about 20 minutes by car from Hongqiao High-speed Railway Station/Hongqiao International Airport. The rooms are based on a German minimalist aesthetic and feature a complimentary minibar with walnut finishes and cool tones to create a tranquil space. Business guests can enjoy 24-hour self-service laundry and ironing and 15-minute quick response service; Visitors can immerse themselves in the day and night light and shadow of the intercity tavern, or stroll to the adjacent Fuzhou Road Scholar Street to experience Shanghai-style culture.
"Facilities: The hotel has a gym and laundry room, which is sufficient for a city hotel. The location is very close to the middle section of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and it's about an 8-minute walk to the subway.
Cleanliness: The overall cleanliness is good, especially since it's a new hotel.
Environment: There's a foreign language bookstore across the street, which is a great place for kids to spend time when it rains. Dining options nearby are also very convenient, and delivery from many popular restaurants is very fast.
Service: All the staff are very enthusiastic. Since I don't drink beer, they even swapped out the beer in the mini-bar for soda water, which was a nice touch.
Complimentary Late-Night Snacks: You can enjoy late-night snacks every day, though we only went once on our first night after arriving from the airport. They offer noodles, rice noodles, etc. – a very thoughtful service.
Single Buffet Afternoon Tea: We didn't get to experience the afternoon tea at all, as we were out exploring.
Breakfast: Most standard items are available, and the food is replenished very quickly.
Issues: During the transition from winter to spring, the air conditioning for cooling hadn't been activated yet. On the first day, I asked the front desk and they said it was still unified heating. So, we didn't have AC during our stay. Luckily, the temperature in Shanghai wasn't too high these past few days, otherwise, the room would have been quite warm. When checking out, the front desk staff member mentioned that after our feedback, the cooling function was made available, but no one informed us, so we were unaware of this."
