New Hotels in Shanghai

"I chose this Holiday Inn with airport shuttle service for my layover in Pudong. After landing at 9 PM, I contacted them for pickup. The driver was very responsible and called to confirm before we got in the car. The room was clean and comfortable. We had an early flight at 5 AM the next morning, and the hotel thoughtfully provided a simple breakfast. It's worth mentioning that my friend accidentally left their watch in the room because we were rushing out early. After contacting the front desk, the staff member quickly located it and helped us ship it out."

"The front desk staff and housekeepers were all very kind and friendly, which was great! The hotel's location is excellent; it's less than a 5-minute walk from Nanjing East Road Metro Station Exit 2 or 3. There's a Starbucks downstairs, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is right next door, about a 15-minute walk to Raffles City. The hotel breakfast was also quite good, and the room was clean (though a smoky smell seemed to come from the bathroom entrance). There was a crystal essential oil diffuser on the nightstand, which gave off a pleasant, fragrant scent. The teacups, coffee cups, and kettle in the room were well-chosen, showing the owner's thoughtful attention to detail. They also provided plenty of bottled water, which was a real plus! I really liked this hotel; it's definitely on my list of places I'd want to stay again! Highly recommend!"

"Facilities: Very clean and comfortable with complete amenities. It has an on-site restaurant and bar, which is very convenient for dining. There's also a 7-Eleven convenience store not far from the hotel downstairs, which is very handy. Cleanliness: Spotlessly clean and tidy. Environment: Very comfortable with bright decor. The room itself is very large and spacious, and the soundproofing is excellent – you can barely hear the planes taking off. However, if a neighbor is moving luggage loudly, you might still hear it. Service: The front desk staff were very friendly, and the other guiding staff were also very helpful."

"The first Mövenpick hotel under Accor in Shanghai, it's ideally located in the heart of People's Square on Nanjing West Road, just 50 meters from Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street, directly opposite a subway station, and right next to New World Department Store. The front desk staff are welcoming and check-in was swift. My room was on a high floor with a spacious bathroom and an 'Xiao Du' smart system. Room service was very responsive. There's also a self-service laundry room. As an opening promotion, the first round of the minibar was complimentary. This hotel is perfect for both business travelers and tourists."

"Absolutely fell in love with this hotel after my stay! Not only does the brand guarantee quality, but the service is incredibly thoughtful. My room got a free upgrade and was spacious and comfortable. It was quite large, probably around 30 square meters, with brand new facilities that exuded quality everywhere: the mattress was as soft as sleeping on a cloud, the Wi-Fi coverage was seamless, and it had a smart TV with screen mirroring and a mini-fridge – everything you could ask for. The hotel also features a professional laundry room and a gym, and the cleanliness and attention to detail were impeccable. The location is excellent; both the hotel and its surroundings are great. It's close to the airport, yet you can't hear any airplane noise at all. Highly recommend!"

"Extremely satisfied. It's a new hotel, but there's no unpleasant smell. The hotel is very clean, and the decor is both comfortable and elegant. From the room, you can see the Shanghai 'Three-Piece Suit' (Lujiazui skyscrapers) and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, with cruise ships passing by. Although it faces the street, it's very quiet. The hotel's location is unbeatable, and the breakfast is excellent."

"If you're looking for a hotel near Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street that offers both quality and value, look no further. I've written a detailed review with some tips, so if you enjoy in-depth insights, read on! (Big thanks to Trip.com for allowing unlimited review length and generous reward points). ♡ [My Thoughts]: I came to Shanghai on Jan 4th for an exhibition at the Convention and Exhibition Center, planning to stay two nights near Nanjing East Road and two nights near Disneyland. However, choosing a hotel proved challenging. I found that hotels in the Nanjing East Road area were far more expensive than I expected, or they had unsatisfactory windows, size, or layouts. I finally stumbled upon this hotel in a video by a blogger who reviewed various hotel stays. Being a 'J' personality (like a planner), I meticulously compared dozens of hotels before settling on this one. (I tend to be more considerate when traveling with others, hence the extensive research.) My experience after the first night was incredibly satisfying, and I'll definitely prioritize this brand for future trips. ♡ [Detailed Experience] ① Hotel Location: Head north from the hotel, cross two intersections, and you're at Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. It's also not far from Nanjing East Road, Dashijie, People's Square, and Yu Garden subway stations. It’s quiet despite being in a bustling area—an excellent location. ② Surroundings: As a diligent planner, it's essential to collect information on good food and attractions around popular tourist spots. Downstairs is a Deyuan Lanzhou Beef Noodle restaurant, certified delicious by a Gansu native who's lived in Shanghai for years (I'm going to try it tomorrow morning, teehee). Other nearby eateries include Guanguanji, Shucaiji, Shen Dacheng, Ruby, Chenji Seafood Restaurant, Meiweijia, Xiangjiang Mingyuan, Lailai Xiaolong, Xun Yuji, Jichangxing Crab Roe Noodles, and Shangshangqian Hotpot (listed clockwise around the hotel). These are all places I saved from various guides, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to try them all (ToT). There's so much to explore, like walking from MOG, M&M's, TOP TOY, MINISO, Bailian ZX Creative Hub, Pop Mart, New World Daimaru Department Store (check out the rotating escalator), GII KAWAII, Peace Hotel, all the way to the Bund. Almost all of these are massive flagship stores, perfect for those who love small trinkets, especially Pop Mart's new Disney collection – every single one is incredibly cute! ③ Price: At 700+ RMB for the cheapest room, I think it's reasonable for this area. Combined with the stay experience, the value for money is relatively high. I'm also grateful to the front desk sister who upgraded me to a 1.8m king-size bed room (so touched!). I just discovered Trip.com has an even better package: 1200 RMB for two nights, including breakfast. If your plans are set, book it without hesitation, though it seems availability is limited. ④ Service Attitude: All the staff I encountered were lovely. Feel free to ask if you have any needs; overall, their attitude was excellent and reliable. ⑤ Details: I was very pleased with the room type. The soundproofing was great, and the overall decor felt high-quality. It has a separate wet and dry area, and I appreciate the separate sink, toilet, and shower. The shower had no water stains, and the water was comfortable, though a bit hot for me, which was acceptable. There were tissue boxes on both the sink and desk, and the slippers were thick. There are many places to put things in the room; I particularly liked the bedside tables and the convenient charging ports. The TV is large, unlike some hotels where they're too small to watch properly. Both the bed and pillows were very comfortable. For those who use disposable pillowcases, if yours are ≥ 80*52cm, they'll fit perfectly. After the upgrade, the mini-fridge had drinks, but I'm not sure if the basic room type includes them. During my stay, they provided 4 bottles of mineral water daily, so I never worried about running out. I forgot to take photos during check-in, but the room is a mess now, so I'll try to add pictures after the second night. ⑥ Food Delivery: I saw delivery robots zipping around, so they should be able to deliver directly to your room. However, I went downstairs to pick up my order and discovered an incredible variety of food nearby. It was also quite amusing when entering the elevator: the robot insisted I go in first, not moving until I stepped in, then it followed. So funny! ♡ [Half-Day Tour Route Sharing] Today, I tried a short route: leaving at noon, heading north two blocks to the pedestrian street, then walking towards the Bund. You can browse from MINISO all the way to the Bund. Along the way, you might try Jichangxing Crab Roe Noodles; I recommend the branch near the Bund's historic buildings (I only remembered there was one by the Bund after eating at another branch…). A group purchase on Douyin offers a couple's meal for just over 200 RMB; the taste is decent, and the price is acceptable. I figured since I'm spending money anyway, I might as well choose a place with a good environment and location (◍•ᴗ•◍). After reaching the Bund, you can find a place to sit and rest. Around 4 PM, you can take a taxi to the Sihang Warehouse (the wall is quite impressive). If you want to visit the memorial hall, go earlier. Then, you can take a taxi to the Xintiandi area to experience the nightlife. A stroll around is neither tiring nor boring, and taxi fares are usually just over ten yuan (after using coupons). It’s a very sensible route! ♡♡♡ Everything above is written from a tourist's perspective. I didn't expect to write so much (I'm naturally someone who enjoys sharing detailed guides, so please excuse the word count). I hope this provides some valuable information, and I wish us all happy travels ( ˘ ³˘)❤"

"Had a very wonderful stay with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. I was pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade from a windowless room to one with a window, which made the stay even better. The breakfast spread was great with a wide variety of options, including a fresh noodle station. Food delivery was also very convenient, with a robot delivering orders right to the room doorstep. A lovely touch was the two complimentary fresh and warm drinks available at the lobby — perfect for keeping warm during the winter season. Overall, a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay."

"The hotel's location itself is great. It's right above the Yueda 889 Plaza, accessible from Exit 3 of Nanjing East Road Subway Station, with the hotel located on the 7th floor of the mall. One inconvenience to note is that the hotel doesn't have its own dedicated elevators; guests share them with non-guests using the mall, which can be a bit awkward if you have large luggage. This location is perfect for tourists and also convenient for catching flights: Line 2 goes to both Hongqiao and Pudong Airports, and Line 10 also serves Hongqiao Airport."

"Overall, my stay was excellent. The hotel environment was clean and tidy, the room layout was well-designed, and the bedding was comfortable, allowing me to rest very well. The front desk service was professional and efficient; both check-in and check-out were smooth. The surrounding transportation is convenient, and the amenities are complete. It offers great value for money, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time. The Christmas atmosphere was strong, the 'Xiao Diao Li Tang' (a pear soup) was delicious, and the dolls were also very cute."
