Weiting Hotel (Shanghai People's Square Subway Station Changzheng Hospital Branch)

Good location near the People's Square. Clean, coasy. Easy to navigate to attractive points. Near the subway. I recommend to use subway as much as possible, no traffic jam, good aircondition, comfortable, clean, easy to navigate, easiest way to get to all attractions. I recommend flea markets if you know how to negotiate prices... If you go TAX free shopping, ask for the stamped form, bring the goods and the form to the Custom office for clearence stamp, before you go upstairs to airport departures, again keep the goods with you to show them again with the document to the Tax refund officer at gate 84 departures.

Pros - Provides freshly grounded coffee and biscuits at the ground floor. Superb!Rooms are made everyday and super clean. The toiletries provided smells great, esp the white tea hand wash. A good breakfast place was provided nearby and a little bit of walk would bring you to several convenience stalls or even a veggie market. Cons - the bath design somehow makes the entire floor at the WC wet. No hand towels was provided, and only 1 portion was given for the toiletries, ie, one bottle of moisturister. The corridors has numerous ramps which can be dangerous if you are not careful. The lift area still has remants of renovation and raw wood plywood board as walls. The staff weren't attentive when we wanted to check out, they just continued doing their own things until we called out to them that we are checking out. There is no proper ramp for luggage at the entrance, the existing one is steep and almost not usable. Next door is a freight/courier processing plant, so forget about have a safe passageway with your luggage and you will end up walking along the road most of the time. Construction site is happening next door, so a few years from now the roads are going to be dustry, and noisy.

Totally renovated hotel. However i did not realize they were renovating, no lift use. To lift luggage up, they helped, bit not when leaving early in the morning. My stay was transit, if 2-3 days stay, i would go back. Hotel had nice mini Chinese tea set which made me not to go out to town for an hr to enjoy my tea…. Hotel lobby has good coffee machine. But disappointed on unable to use it for early departure. I do recommend if you travel light as you have to go up 4-5 steps to go into building.
