Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT by IHG
9.0 (5,212 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT by IHG ★★★

📍 No. 850 Jichang Avenue, Pudong New Area, Shanghai

"Great value for a layover, but brace for the morning rush. Pros: · For the rate, the room is perfectly comfortable and the food is decent. The breakfast spread (seen in the pics) actually offers a good mix—Chinese food, plus coffee and juices. For a quick airport stop, it hits the spot. · Convenient transport: If you skip the shuttle, ordering a taxi directly from the hotel to the airport is super easy and fast. Cons to note: · Elevator & shuttle crowds: The biggest inconvenience is the morning checkout rush. Everyone is heading to the airport at the same time, so the elevators get jammed, and the queue for the bus shuttle can be crowded. It's absolutely fine for the price. Just leave your room 15–20 minutes earlier than you think you need to, or simply grab a taxi from the front door to avoid the shuttle chaos. Would stay again for an early flight."

Zhexuejia Hotel (Shanghai Bund Xiaonanmen Subway Station)
9.0 (4,443 reviews)

Zhexuejia Hotel (Shanghai Bund Xiaonanmen Subway Station) ★★

📍 3rd Floor, No. 14, Lane 518, Zhonghua Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"Environment: The room was very clean and tidy. Service: The front desk staff were very friendly and proactively informed us about the subway operating hours. Hygiene: Good condition, the bathroom was very clean. Overall, a great experience. Thank you for the service!"

Crowne Plaza SHANGHAI NANJING ROAD by IHG
9.4 (11,758 reviews)

Crowne Plaza SHANGHAI NANJING ROAD by IHG ★★★★★

📍 No. 719 Nanjing East Road, North Gate, No. 700 Jiujiang Road, South Gate, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"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!"

Da Zhong Airport Hotel
8.4 (21,222 reviews)

Da Zhong Airport Hotel ★★★

📍 No. 6001 Yingbin Avenue, Pudong Airport, Pudong New Area, Shanghai

"I had an early flight and wanted to avoid a tiring journey, so I decided to stay at an airport hotel the night before. This hotel is conveniently located right between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. You can take the elevator down from the middle section of the North and South Towers, and then it's just a few minutes' walk to either terminal, which is really handy. However, the hotel facilities are quite old, and as soon as I opened the door, there was a musty smell. Definitely not good value for money."

Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden On the Bund
9.6 (10,033 reviews)

Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden On the Bund ★★★★

📍 No. 789 Fuxing East Road, near Henan South Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai

"The front desk staff were very welcoming and provided excellent service. The room was clean and tidy with all the necessary amenities."

Holiday Inn Express SHANGHAI PUDONG AIRPORT by IHG ★★★
"As a frequent business traveler, I've stayed in many hotels, and this one's location is indeed quite good. My only minor gripe is that the shuttle bus intervals could be shorter; missing one means a long wait. However, front desk staff members Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhou had excellent service attitudes. They were incredibly patient and friendly, proactively helping guests with any issues, communicating effectively, and working efficiently. This left a fantastic impression on me, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next business trip to Shanghai."

Crowne Plaza SHANGHAI NANJING ROAD by IHG ★★★★★
"Avoid Crowne Plaza Shanghai Nanjing Road! I checked in on July 17th and found moldy, smelly food left in the fridge from the previous guest. For a five-star hotel, their housekeeping and inspection processes are completely failing. They didn't even check for forgotten items in the fridge, indicating a total breakdown in basic hygiene standards. Paying a high price for a room that smells awful and poses health risks is unacceptable. The management's oversight is glaringly obvious. Anyone considering staying here should seriously think twice."

The service is also impeccable; from check-in to check-out, every interaction was prompt and polite, truly making me feel at home. Whether for business or leisure, Mercure is a reliable haven."
