Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong, an IHG Hotel

Shanghai has two awesome sections: the more historic Puxi and this was in Pudong which is the newer part (or east side) of Shanghai. The hotel was nicely situated, within 30 minute MAGLEV and sub-way ride from Pudong International Airport, and between two subway (metro) stations easily accessible within 5-7 minute walk. If you have Alipay or some other system you could also rent bikes outside then Hotel. The lobby was spacious and welcoming, the staff courteous (although only one of two were fluent in English considering this is American Hotel Chain). and the cleaning Robot was functional novelty that at time rode the elevator with you. My room was well light had a great view. The amenities were nice nothing special, but importantly the bathroom was clean, with fresh nice linens, and spacious separate shower stall with rain shower in addition to a handheld shower head. The complimentary coffee/tea and 4 bottles of Aquafina water was a nice touch. Closet with plenty of space, central light controls and a comfy bed made it a wonderful stay. The breakfast was nice with Continental/American and traditional Chinese fare. I particularly liked the coffee machine with very high quality coffee beans and excellent cappuccino and Latte. I will be definitely staying here again. Friendly staff overall. XièXiè

The hotel was quite impressive due to its size and it had a prime location, close to the main city centre. The beds were very comfy, and the room had all the essentials. Also, we were amazed by the views of the city from the hotel window and the abundance of breakfast. It was delicious and had so many options to choose from of various cuisines!

The booking, check in and check out are easy. The staff is with good attitude and helpful. The facilities are in good condition and comfortable to stay in. The breakfast provided are with variety of choices. The surrounding of the hotel is quiet and peaceful. There are convenience stores and few restaurants around the hotel area. Near to Metro station as well.

What I most enjoyed about this hotel is the joyful staff members, specially Ms Selena. She not only has a professional and formal approach but she also has a lively kind personality and a good sense of humour. Ms Selena answered all my queries with precision and a smile. It’s always good to see that in the morning.

Great location! It's close to a subway station. There are countless dining places around the hotel. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The hotel is well-equipped. It has multiple restaurants, a tea house, a hair salon, a fitness center, and a heated pool. I would highly recommend it to visitors to Shanghai.
