Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I did not like the standard room which I booked online so I requested to upgrade when I was checking-in. The staff gave me a room on the 21st floor which was recently renovated with everything brand new. The WIFI worked all the time and the speed was descent. Get the upgraded rooms because it is well worth it.

The entrance is nice but the elevator and some of the hallways are dirty as they are renovating. I couldn't care less as long as the rooms were clean and they were.

I wish I had some initial directions since I relied heavily on the subway. So here are some pointers for those who are planning to stay at this hotel -

- The nearest station is Hailun Road on Line 4 (purple line). You can get here from the airport using the subway system.

- Look out for Hotel Sheraton when you get out of the station. Use this building as your navigation point because it is tall enough to locate around this neighbourhood. Walk towards the direction on Hailun Rd where the Sheraton will be on your left side. Keep walking for about 10 minutes and along the way you will go around some curbs.. Just keep walking until you are at the intersection with Sichuan North Rd. Make a right turn and walk for another 5 minutes. You are going the right direction if you see KFC on your right side after a couple of minutes on this road. At this point cross the road to the left because the hotel coming up is on the left side. The hotel address is Sichuan Road but the location of the hotel is between Sichuan and a small road so look out for the big sign on the top stating Kingtown. It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to walk from the station.

- There is a 24/7 convenience store right outside the hotel which has in fact been very convenient.

- The breakfast option from the hotel is not worth it.

- They provided two free water bottles every day.

- Money Exchange - There is an automated money exchange machine inside the Sheraton Hotel. I have noticed that the airport and the small exchange places charges a fee for their service. You can skip the fees if you use this machine at the hotel. Not that many folks knows about this gem because I assume it is for the hotel guests.. So utilize wisely and respect the convenience. It is located near the washroom on the main floor.

- I took the train to Hongqiao Airport and it was about an hour. Plan 1.5 hours just to be on the safe side. I suspect it might be the same time from Pudong Airport.

- Word of caution - If you have a flight in the middle of the day and you are planning to take a taxi.. Be careful and give yourself plenty of cushion time because of the rush hour. I would rather take the train just to be on the safe side and it's predictable.

- There are two massage places along the road from the train station to the hotel. I went for a foot massage that was closest to the station (literally 3 minutes). I picked this one because the locals visited this place daily. Very little english but this establishment was the best bang for the buck, extremely polite, and helpful.

- Try out the small food joints on this same street going towards the hotel. They are really good and affordable.

- Some of the reviews noted that the front staff did not know English. This is not true. I have noticed that they always had one person who could communicate well in English.

- Download the Google translator on your phone because I have seen them use it quite extensively. I used it on many occasions and it worked like a charm.

- Pick up a local SIM card with data from the airport and it will be your best friend during the trip. I didn't know Chinese so being able to use my tablet and SIM card to translate sentences was a life saver. I communicated through pictures and the Google translator.

- Shanghai was a great experience for me. Have Fun!

It was hard to find as it is a good 15 minute walk from the subway station. Direction will be provided below.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovation. My room was one of the renovated ones. Gone are the carpet in the room. Room was spacious. Bed was comfortable.
You get two bottles of drinking water every day. Except for the bathroom, the room is pretty clean.

There is no fridge. Washroom and shower is small. Air and heating control is all in Chinese ...it wasn't easy to figure out how to use it. TV has only one English channel, one Japanese, one French and the rest are local channels.

Wifi was accepted. Much better than many other local hotels I have stayed in.

The street where the hotel is located is of historical significance. Take a stroll to appreciate historical buildings. Lots of places for meals ...unfortunately, they don't carry English menus. What you could do, like I did, is to take pictures of common Shanghai food and then show it to the person taking your orders. It is cheap local food.

Another 15 minutes walk along North Sichuan Road will bring you to local shopping malls with food court and restaurants. They have English menus.

Hotel is two subway stops from Qipu market, a wholesale market for clothes, mostly women, but you can still find men and children wears as well as luggages. To get there, exit at Tiantong station.

Direction to get hotel from subway station
From Pudong airport, take line 2 to East Nanjing. At East Nanjing, change train to line 10 to go to Hailan station. At Hailan station, use Exit 7 to Siping Road. Upon exit, you face Siping Road. Cross Siping road and to your right is a small street, Xingjiaqiao Rd North. Walk down the street. When you come to an intersection with another street, Changchun Rd, cross it and continue straight towards an alley. Walk straight. Steps from the end, turn left to a gate. Walk through it and that street leads to North Sichuan Road. You can see North Sichuan Road ahead. If you look upwards before you cross, you should see the signage of the hotel. The hotel is not conspicuous. Cross North Sichuan road and the hotel is on a street just to the right called Duolun Road. The hotel is next to a convenience store.
Note: If you have big luggage, use the Huilan road way (exit 4 of subway station) as you will not be able to get your large luggage through the gate.

Not a western friendly hotel. No one speaks English here and no one is willing to help. The key to my room failed to work two different time and the issue took three different workers to resolve.
The bar in the lobby area closed 2 hours earlier than posted.
The business center isn’t a proper business center and is only open a few hours throughout the day. They were unable to print a simple 8.5x11 document for me.

I wouldn’t stay here again.

Just a quick review as we booked this place through Ctrip. The website will have you believe this place is decent, photos look good, nice clean rooms, great views etc. However, it looked a bit dirty in reception, but sometimes these buildings are shared with malls etc, but the lift was filthy and smelly, and slow, and the room was awful. Really bad, and looking back at the pics they were obviously taken many years ago or photoshopped. It was smokey, dirty, smokey burn marks on tables and blood stains on one of the beds, Jesus.
Needless to say we got our deposit back, a refund from
c trip and walked to the Narada boutique hotel 5 minutes down the road and luckily got a room for the week. Avoid.

We are a company of six people, taking a trip recently to Shanghai, Suzhou and Wusi. Kingtown hotel is the hotel we stayed on the first and last day of our tour because it is closed to Hungqiao international airport. The hotel is within walking distance to mtr station. About 10 minutes if you know the short cut.
The staff at the reception were very warm to receive us when we checked in. At the dinning room on the M floor where we had buffet breakfast, there was a young lady who helped to carry the food we picked up to the table. I have never had such service in hotels elsewhere.
The hotel room is not large but you have everything you need. One thing I like about this hotel is the room lights are well designed and quite bright. I have been in some hotel which the room lights are so dim that one can scaecely see things. There are many small supermarkets just round the corner where you can get all kinds of food. If you know how to find, there are shanghai style breakfast in an alley within 15 minutes walk from the hotel where you can have a feast at only $10-15 rmb per head.
In the past hotel rooms in China were well designed but poorly maintained. This is not the case anymore. The room facilities were well maintained. The rooms we stayed were standard two bed rooms, equivalent to four star standard but is only between 300-500 rmb(chinese yuan). Where else you can get such good deal?

We stayed here for a few nights as part of an organized group trip. Maybe coming from other parts of China, the hotel felt like a return to Western style of living. We enjoyed the clean and well organized room. The location is great, lots of shops, banks and little snack places just around the corner. For a European visitor, maybe the biggest advantage is that a Metro station is about 10 minutes away on foot. This made us feel very independent, once we understood the tariff system.
On the downside, one may mention that there is no real lobby or bar where you can sit in the evening (which is very normal in China). Also the claim that the hotel is in walking distance from the Bund is a bit ambitious. We walked to the Bund, which was a very interesting tour, but it took us about 20 minutes to get there.

I recently stayed here as part of an English speaking tour group from the USA. Needless to say, the staff did not speak any English and they were unable to help me with any of my questions. The rooms were nice, but the hallway and elevators were dirty. The first few floors of the hotel were for businesses and these businesses apparently allowed smoking, because you could smell the smoke. On one occasion there was a water leak which stopped the elevators from working. I had to walk down 15 flights of stairs. There was no lights in the stair well and it was very dirty. When I got to the lower floors there were people smoking in the area. If you are a tourist and do not speak Mandarin I would not recommend this location.

We are staying with a group from Overseas Adventure Travel. Accommodations are excellent, and the beds are very comfortable. Very fine breakfast included in morning - wide variety of Chinese and Western choices at buffet. Surprisingly good coffee. Wi-Fi is excellent, and there is a small refrigerator and tea in the room. Be warned. This is the first major hotel I've stayed at with no bar.
