Novotel Suites Shanghai Hongqiao 4 stars

We stayed here for 3 nights. The suites are very spacious and layout is duplex. The rooms and bathrooms were absolutely clean. I recommend this hotel to big family for a comfortable stay. The hotel is connected with a mall which has some nice cafes, restaurants, supermarket and a movie theater too. Just behind the hotel, there is also a nice street called Lidoway which is good for a walk with lots of cafes, restaurants around.

We travelled as family with a toddler and stayed for a night only. Room: Must say we really enjoyed the neat, well designed and spacious room (Superior suite with 1 King bed) Service: We weren't very satisfied with the check-in. The staff at the reception was rather dry and to the point. Had some difficulty with communicating in English. Breakfast: Didn't try. We just ended up buying some cereal, milk and fruit from the supermarket in the nearby complex. Location: Just as you exit the door from the breakfast restaurant you enter into a complex where you can find few restaurants, shops and supermarket. Airport and Railway station is a short 5/10 mins taxi ride from the hotel.

I'd have loved to write great breakfast too but they still have a lot of scope for improvement in Food taste. Sausages were dry, Fried rice was very average and so was the overall breakfast experience. When it comes to room, Housekeeping and service, They get 200 marks out of 100 Very spacious, very well designed rooms with lots of space and big bathrooms. They set up a nice standard of SPACE for hotel industry.

I stayed multiple times at the Novotel Suites Hongqiao since it was open. There are points I could accepts at the beginning but that I cannot anymore. • It’s an international hotel and almost no one speaks a word of English, it’s very difficult to ask for anything. • It’s the only Accor hotel I know that has no international TV channel on offer! Just one Chinese channel in English. This is totally unacceptable. • They have apartment and there is almost no equipment in them. Not even a cutting board, a decent knife or even a towel… • The mattress is of very low quality. • You receive a drink voucher being a platinum member but it’s almost impossible to redeem it. • The quality of the breakfast is very low, the juices are awful, no one speaks English…

Saw this new hotel via Expedia, and decided to give a try. At the time of arrival, the staff was very friendly, and helpful. This did well maintain the service culture of the Accor group. After settle in the room, my trip of surprises starts; This hotel they only serve food until 1800hrs, and yes, you get get food from a local shopping centre right outside, and they close at 2100hrs. Of course, one can always relay on APP similar to UberEat. By the way, there wasn’t a bar around in the evening as well. Next morning, after I got up, and about to take shower, and realize the hot water took over a minute before it decided to start, great to start the day with a cold shower. Last but not the least, the door lock finish off my stay by terminates my entry 8 minutes before 12:00, Still, I have to say, the staff who serve me was very nice again. As a international class hotel, I really felt that these minor happening should be handle, and do something about it
