First, the bathroom smelled like rotten piss and had rust in the corners. On the second day, the smell worsened. We brought the issue to the front desk, and they offered air freshener. It wasn’t effective, and the smell remained in the room. We informed the front desk again and asked for a room swap, but were told there were none available. Instead we were told to shower on another floor and return to our original room to sleep, which was an unreasonable request for three young girls late at night. We refused and they offered a suite, but when we entered the room, we were greeted with giant hand prints on the wall, which frightened us out of our wits. Out of pure fear, we rushed out of the room and returned to the front desk where we refused another offer for a bigger suite. Instead of risking our sense of safety, we decided to return to our original room where we were prevented from showering due to the extremely unhygienic conditions. Not to mention, the pillows had yellow stains on it, making it unusable and forcing two people to share a pillow. The slippers also had visible debris in it. The cheap price may be tempting, but it’s’ not worth it if you want a comfortable stay. I would definitely not recommend this hotel.

Quite Good, Peaceful, Quiet, and Efficient.

Smooth, comfortable stay. The rooms were a bit dark and the bed a little uncomfortable. But, it is typical for hotels of this class as was the buffet breakfast. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I would stay here again.

room is very comfortable, big and clean. Service was also good and staff was helpful. Breakfast was also great and there was a seperate area for IHG members.
Only thing about the hotel is that it is far from any shopping malls and no subway nearby. Have to take cab everywhere. Nearest food place is 15minutes walk away nearer to Holiday Day Inn express hotel.

Too far from NECC

I was attending a trade show at the NECC and there was a free shuttle service in the morning but not in the evening. Plus found out better hotels at walking distance to NECC at same price so will not stay again

Stayed at these hotel because I was attending an expo at the NECC, which is very close and convenient. But, if you are interested in downtown and central Shanghai this is not for you.

Overall Bad Experience !

My welcome and checking was disastrous. The Reception desk staff do not speak english well and reception manager was rude to me and even raised his voice. The worse welcome I have ever had ! Room Service was ok but each time I needed to speak to 3-4 people before placing an order. The Concierges ( I met 2) were great ! at breakfast it is difficult to order simple things like scrambled eggs as the cooks do not understand english. My stay was a bit stressful due to the language barrier and bad service on the 1st day at check in. When I called the reception desk on my last day to order breakfast in my room, for about 35minutes , the reception staff kept on hanging up the phone in my ear as they did not understand me. The Duty Manager on the day of my check out was helpful and gave us free breakfast. The room temperature in our room was 26degrees one day. We were sweating. I asked for someone to check it but was told to open my windows and was sent a fan ! If you do not speak Chinese, I do not recommend this hotel !

Clean and comfortable hotel, though the location is not in midst of shopping amenities. Nice indoor heated swimming pool and the gym is well equipped too. It’s worth mention that the Chinese restaurant on level 2 serves nice Cantonese dishes.

Good hotel in a busy part of Shanghai

Went to see the most popular sights of Shanghai, very impressive. They clearly need to do something about the pollution which seems to cover at least a 50 mile radius of Shanghai

Overall the hotel was fine, but pest problem

We were there for a trade show and I was allocated on the 9th floor and some of my colleagues were on the 7th floor, one of my colleagues change room immediately after stepped into the room as he saw a mice in the room which have happened to another colleague of mine as well who stayed on the same floor. All of them then changed room to another floor but just couldn't believe it happened in a four star Holiday Inn. They should have a better pest control ??? Besides that it was a reasonable stay with helpful staff and services.

Good value if you need to be in this part of town

It's out in the suburbs - beyond the metro - so probably only a place to stay if you need to be in this neighbourhood (I did). Fairly new, and good quality for the price.

Although my booking through Expedia didn't entitle me to IHG Club privileges, at check-in the staff upgraded me anyway. The room was above normal Holiday Inn standards. The next day, there was fruit selection in my room, which apparently is for Platinum members - I am nowhere near Platinum, so this was another added bonus.

Overnight Business stay

Hotel is well decorated, room is large and clean. The staff were friendly. Check-in and out was a breeze.

The negative is about the neighborhood. There is nothing around. The hotel does offer a free shuttle to take you to subway station or other restaurants and stores nearby.

Bes t ever

I was so impressed with this hotel and its staff that I wrote a two-page letter of appreciation to the Manager. EVERYONE...from the door men, the receptionist, the waiters in the restaurant, were most hospitable and consistently so. I had internet problems and upon reporting the to the receptionist, she sent an IT specialist to my room when I returned from my working day. I give this hotel staff top marks and the best I have experienced in the seven hotels I have stayed in in china.

Very nice but too far from city center

The hotel is very clean and the room is spacious. However, the hotel is about 10 minutes shuttle ride to the Metro station. It is not very convenient since the shuttle schedule is limited. We had to take a taxi from the Metro station back to the hotel at around 9:30 pm because the area around the Metro station doesn't appear to be safe and we didn't want to wait 20 minutes for the shuttle bus.
