Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Zhangjiang
4.8/51492 Reviews
Pudong Zhangjiang District
I stayed for almost two weeks and overall it has been a good experience. After a hiccup with a towel, the manager of the hotel ensured that my room was cleaned more thoroughly. The room itself was quite small. The huge glass wall made the room look a bit bigger but for some reason some random people were hanging out right next to the window and I could see trash outside of the window on a regular basis. The breakfast buffet was quite repetitive the first week but got better in the second week. Overall, simple home made style food that I generally enjoyed. I’d recommend this hotel for a short stay. It felt a bit too pricey considering it’s location (far from the city center) and the range of services provided.
Holiday Inn Express Shanghai International Tourism Resort

Shanghai Disney Resort
Location was convenient for Disney. We didn't explore the area around the hotel at all. The rooms were nice and clean with typical amenities. The breakfast was mostly Chinese style with a few bread options. There is a train that passes nearby that could cause a noise disturbance if your room is facing it. My room was not and I thought it was nice and quiet. Overall I'd stay here again if I was going to Disney.
Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Gubei
4.7/52287 Reviews
Hongqiao District
I was attending an event at the Millennium Hotel nearby and since that place REEKS of horrible perfume, I wanted to find something nearby. The Holiday Inn Express seems to be newly renovated and everything looked new and clean. The room is small, but they make good use of the space. The bed is very comfortable and you have a choice of clearly marked soft or hard pillows. It’s very close to Line 10, so that’s convenient, and there are plenty of small restaurants and shops nearby. There were a lot of choices for breakfast, but nothing very delicious. Everything was either greasy or (unintentionally) cold. Despite seeming attention paid to making sure that things are clean and well-presented, every towel in my room - from bathmat to bath towel to hand towel - was old and frayed. Also, the iron , despite have a neatly tied cord, had a gigantic red blob on it, and multiple black smears. Housekeeping had to have seen these when they wound the cord and placed the iron away, yet they left it in that condition. Otherwise, I’d definitely recommend the hotel and stay there again if I were to be in that part of town.
Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Hongqiao Linkong
4.8/5207 Reviews
Hongqiao District
First of all, we arrived at 11 o'clock in the evening and checked in at the front desk in 5 minutes. After entering the room, I felt full of heating, and I also found fruits prepared (apples, bananas, cherry tomatoes, small oranges~). The room is newly renovated, the facilities and hardware are all brand new, and the layout is practical and warm. The hotel upgraded us to a window type (but the window takes up a quarter of the wall of the room, but it is almost the same without it. It can be ventilated). As for the comments about the strong smell of decoration, this room did not smell it... If there is a shortcoming, it may be that there is no trash can in the room. Let's talk about the bathroom. The front desk asked kindly about the toothbrush set. In addition, the hygienic condition is acceptable and the space is moderate. The disadvantage is that the ventilation is a bit weak. It also comes with conditioner and hand soap, and shampoo and shower gel are okay~ As for the sleeping experience, the bed feels comfortable to touch and the mattress is soft and comfortable. It’s a great experience! Finally, let’s talk about breakfast. There are indeed few types of breakfast, but I like to be friendly to people who eat pasta. The ingredients are rich and the aunt who cooks the noodles is very kind and feels like home. like! The check-out process is very fast, and I will also ask about my stay experience~ Overall, great value for money!

Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Jinsha
4.8/53090 Reviews
Changfeng Park Area
Good location, near the Shanghai Hongquio airport. though not close to the downtown but easily accessible. The neighborhood has a Starbucks and Paris Baguette for coffee and snacks. Also has grocery stores nearby. English speaking front office staff is pretty helpful and provide assistance on request. Hotel lobby provides seating area and computer terminals for internet services. Breakfast is a good mix of Chinese and western dishes with good coffee machine. Housekeeping service is very efficient and regular. Room is pretty clean, has TRESemme toiletries and serviced everyday. Two bottles of drinking water in the room and unlimited water bottles for guests in the lobby. I was even provided with complimentary soda on two occasions. I was allowed to use the hotel refrigerator to store my food items, though a refrigerator is definitely an amenity which is expected in the room in such a hotel. I was allowed late check out on payment of a nominal fee. One area of improvement is the internet service as its unstable and also very slow and sometimes stops working abruptly so cannot rely on it unless you have your own data plan. Overall good experience for a weekend stay and will definitely be here when I am back in town.
