ibis Shanghai New Hongqiao 1 stella

Ibis Honqiao reminded me of the ibis in europe. From the front desk to the room it is european. Rooms are clean and spacious. Shower the toilet are all good. Simple but complete with basic amenities. Large king size bed with international standard quality of pillow and comforter. Air con works perfectly well during this summer. Breakfast inclusive but nothing fancy. Overall it is such a lovely business hotel.

Check in is a joke, more than a hour to process 4 rooms. Note in a queue this was actually processing. Not what u need after a full day of travel. Basically this is a non English speaking hotel. Would never come back.

I stayed for one night at the hotel because I had to go do my visa health check in Minhang. I live in Nanjing and go to Shanghai frequently. This was the first time I stayed in Shanghai where English was not commonly spoken. Regardless, the hotel staff was good even though English was a struggle. They pointed me in the direction of the restaurants on the main road and were very helpful when I asked for a cab the next morning to get to the hospital. The room was perfect - clean and simple and modern. I really enjoyed my stay here and recommend it to anyone!

Hotel is quite prominent from the road, near the junction of Hong2 Qiao2 Road and Wan4 Yuan2 Road. Lobby is welcoming and new. I was given a 4th storey room (highest available). Room overlooks main road, and is spacious and clean. Aircon is decent too. Downside was lift serves up to 3rd storey only. Does not come with fridge, iron, and cable tv ( you can actually select from a range of decent movies but they only allowed 2 cashless payment modes currently popular in China. Wifi and breakfast was free and decent though. In all a value for money place for work travel. On another note, I arrived having left my luggage in the taxi and the receptionist, Mr Hunter Wu, was quick to assist me in contacting the taxi company. It came back within half an hour. He also advised me on how to avoid getting scammed by taxi touts at the airport. Would like to single him out for his excellent service.

Basic hotel for a basic price basically! Basic cleanliness, no frills, tired bedclothes, bathroom skirting finishing and wallpaper. Smell of smoking as you enter the building. In cheap looking location by ugly bridge nothing nice to look at but dilapidated homes. Did what it said on the tin and was decent just for a night's sleep.
