Yitel Premium Hotel on Zhubai Road - Moli Road is nice accommodation for Family or Solo Business Trip to Lingang, Pudong Shanghai. Check in was quick & easy in a friendly and welcoming way. Front desk staff AnnWang was cooperative and while checking out FanFan, a cheerful & smiley young girl wished us Happy New Year & goodbye and thanked us for staying at Yitel. Room was spacious and clean equipped with amenities mentioned while booking. Breakfast was yummy to feel value to money we paid. We shall definitely book it again whenever we need the room for us or our guests to Lingang. Thanks to all the team members of front desk, breakfast area and the housekeeping department.

The hotel in in a restaurant/shopping plaza, 10 minutes drive from Haichang ocean park. The price is very affordable, location is superb with many restaurants around and stores. Parking from the plaza is available and free for hotel guests.
The room is very clean, the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom has shampoo and soap dispensers. The reception provides slippers and toothbrushes. I was pleasantly surprised. In the night the plaza was quiet. I have no complaints and I’m am satisfied. I’ll return I took the family room and size was comfortable.

Great room, and good location. The town is very small and quiet but it was a perfect getaway from the busy city that is Shanghai. It’s very close to the Snow World. About walking distance. Food options were a bit limited compared to downtown but found an amazing fruit store downstairs. The shower was one of the best showers I’ve experienced in a hotel!
The room was spacious enough and very clean. Receptionist was often away from their desk so had trouble checking in and out. But everything else was really great!

It was already late when we arrived at the hotel that day. We took our luggage to the door and saw the front desk clerk take the initiative to open the door for us and take our luggage. It was really considerate. After checking in, we went into the room. The room was very large, clean, spacious, comfortable, fully furnished, and had smart facilities. The children were very happy and the environment was great. This stay was really worthwhile. The floor clerk was also very enthusiastic and responsive. It deserves a thumbs up. It is comfortable and selected, and feels like home. It is worth recommending.

The hotel by the Dishui Lake is cost-effective. There are also financial companies holding annual meetings here. The overall feeling is good. I placed the order on the same day. When I arrived, the front desk guy upgraded my room type for free and gave me a breakfast. The service was super warm. The two waiters named Ma and Wang were named and liked by their names ❤️. They have a 24-hour front desk WeChat service. You can call them at any time if you have anything. I had a great time that day. Thank you~

KKaydenfypAbsolutely stunning place to be in.
Hotel is very near Yu Gardens and Cheng Huang Miao. The nearest train station is just about 10-15 mins walk, very convenient.
Housekeeper were very attentive and helped to clean our room everyday, spotless 👍🏻
Receptionists were friendly and always never fails to greet all the guest.
Definitely recommend this place for all fellow travellers 👍🏻
RRokkenI had a generally good stay at Mia Hotel. Good service and staff. If you have chance to stay and your sleep is very light don’t get a room close to the elevator – the aisle is very narrow and you can hear easily people chatting when they get in and off. The place overall is a nice, the neighbour is great and you can’t find probably such a place like this one in the area.
GGerman AntonioAll my hotel stayed was very pleasant. The facilities and the service were great. I would mainly like to thank to Irish and Tina at the restaurant area and to Necia at the front desk, they were always too kind with my and also with my friends.

LLuis AlbertoTitle: Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement
During our recent one-night stay at the Novotel Shanghai Pudong Chuansha, my wife, our 7-year-old daughter, and I experienced both positive aspects and areas that could benefit from enhancement.
Buffet Options:
The breakfast buffet offered a satisfactory selection of dishes, including both local and international cuisines. While the variety was adequate, we felt that the quality and freshness of some items could be improved. Our daughter enjoyed the pastry section, though it lacked some of the diversity we’ve encountered in other hotels.
Amenities:
The hotel provides standard amenities suitable for families. Our room was clean and comfortable, featuring modern furnishings.
Service:
The front desk staff were courteous and efficient during check-in and check-out.
Location:
The hotel’s proximity to Shanghai Disneyland is a significant advantage for families planning to visit the park. However, we found that transportation options to other parts of the city were somewhat limited, making it less convenient for broader sightseeing.
Overall Experience:
Our stay at the Novotel Shanghai Pudong Chuansha was comfortable, and the hotel adequately met our basic needs. However, there is room for improvement in areas such as amenity availability and service responsiveness. With some enhancements, the hotel has the potential to offer a more satisfying experience for families.
GGabitLocation is a very good option for those who don't want to bother travelling early or late at night to the airport. The main issue for international travellers in China and at this hotel is that they do require Chinese mobile phone numbers only to get connected to wifi - sad, very sad. Well, as we should be leaving in the morning and check-ined late we didn't want to bother much about this wifi setup issue with reception.
The view is great in the morning, at least from the 702 room. The fridge was full with what you see down below.

CCaspian-JhAbsolutely loved my stay!
Creative design for the solo travelers! got everyone asking where is this place when i posted my room on IG!😁
Location was also 10 points the URSIDE hotel house of Gryffindor!💅
The daily 1 free cup of drink of choice adds 100 points just knowing my coffee awaits me 2m away from my room! Although asked ”please sir! Can i have some more? For free” ”MOREEEE?” Unfortunately wasn't their reaction!
Anyway Highly recommending!
GGuest UserQuite hard to communicate with the receptionist and staff at the hotel, but some of them were really nice.
Hotel room was small but clean, they change our towel every day.
Breakfast is the same menu for almost everyday, but enough spread from rice, noodles, wonton, bread, coffee.
Location very convenient, near east nanjing road metro station. Close to the bund.
EEe MingThe hotel service is exceptional. Calling for room service was quick and the staff are very polite and friendly. The bed are very clean and you have the option of choosing the type of pillow you want.
Location is fantastic as it is near the main shopping street. Besides it is a subway which makes travelling around so convenient. Highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Shanghai.
FFamPlanFirst of all 5 stars to Peng Ho (何鹏) service, very helpful and proactive, helped with us during check in and when leaving the hotel with 🧳 and getting our ride to the airport.
Also 5 stars for another lady helped with our check in, she let me viewed a few rooms as I wasn't exactly sure about my stay, she prepared a welcome fruit platter for us.
The hotel is quite wore off, l9bby seemed ok, but once in elevator, corridors all appeared wore off and not clean, then the room arranged for us is full of smell, moldy and smokes, the room we settled is not as smelly, but still found stains, dirt etc in the room, I have especially requested a well cleaned and dusted room before check in due to allergies. Since t was our last stop of a 2+ weeks vacation plus it's only one night so we didn't move, if it is at the beginning or staying longer, I would've moved hoteldue to the first impression of elevator /corridor and room,I was tired that didn't even take picture of the room, our room was facing some old neighborhood, no scenery at all, plus it's noisy in the morning around 6, noises from heavy machinery.
But location is quite convenient, walking distance to the Bund, took us about 20 minutes walk to reach the starting point of the Bund.
DDavid DoanNice hotel but unfortunately disappointing service. I booked a Pearl Tower view room and arrived at 2am to receive a different room and had to demand to staff to give me a different room. Even then the view was not satisfactory but what else can you do at 2am? The hotel was new modern, quite hidden away from the centre but was walkable to the Bund and Nanjing Road. Overall the staff tried their best but still left a sour taste after such high expectation
