Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast may favour Asian tastes — One guest noted the breakfast was perfect for Asian guests but not for Europeans, suggesting it may not suit all Western palates.
- Distance from city center — Located in Pudong, about 20 km from the airport and a taxi ride to the city center costs around 120 yuan. Not ideal for those wanting to be in central Shanghai.
- Mixed review scores — While many reviews are positive, individual ratings range from 5 to 9.6, with some guests less satisfied with value or specific aspects.
- Airport shuttle needs booking — The complimentary shuttle must be reserved in advance, which may be an extra step for guests expecting immediate availability.
