HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS SHANGHAI J

I liked my stay here. The room and bathroom were spacious. My rooms window wouldn’t close all the way so I heard the freeway and cars. Not a deal breaker. The breakfast buffet was great with lots of options. The hotel is right next to a 7-11. The staff were great and offered late check out. They have self service laundry as well. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was far from the nearest subway station.

The hotel is nicely located. It's about 5 minutes walk to a subway station and a large shopping mall. The subway station take you to the city center on the west of the river in about 30 minutes. The shopping mall provides a wide selection of eateries and is a lot of fun. The room is very well designed, everything within easy reach. It's missing a small fridge, which is expected for this class of hotels. The breakfast buffet spread is adequate. The coffee is surprisingly good. The brown-sugar ginger tea would be a nice surprise for the cold winter days. However, it often ran out fast and was a little lukewarm by late afternoon.

Holiday inn Express is the budget hotel i guess. The Hotel building is tall but the hotel is old. The rooms are clean but old and needs renovation. the hotel is 6-7 mins walking distance from the Jinqiao road metro station. In the opposite side of the jinqiao road metro station you will find 2 mall which has a lot of place to eat and drink , expect for this area the area around the hotel is quite empty during the night . The Wifi is very slow and during our stay some time in was not working properly . The lady at the reception could not speak English but there was no problem in the check in process. The breakfast spread is ok not that big or anything , but very few options for vegetarians . We where there for an expo so used to only come to sleep in the room. But if you want to stay will not recommend this hotel as its very basic. If you are traveling on a budget then this is a good hotel for you .
