Citadines Shanghai Jinqiao Hotel, Shanghai

The location is great,turn right out of the hotel,right at the corner go about two minutes and you arrive at People's Square subway which is convenient and cheap to use.Arriving late on a Sunday night I had to take a taxi and as others have said,it is quite difficult to make the drivers understand,you must have the address written in Chinese and a map with Chinese.going back to the airport I used the subway and Maglev train,great if you don't have abig suitcase,not advisable if you do. I booked one of the apartment style roomsbut was given a studio,I immediately went down to change it (very politely) and the girl was quite aggressive insisting it was someone else's fault and more concerned as to whether I had touched or used anything in my 30 seconds in the room! A simple sorry would have made a huge difference. Anyway the room was great, cleaning just ok, I don't think they used the vacuum cleaner at all. Breakfast was ok,staff not really on the ball but no problems .computers in the lobby were never busy . One thing about Shanghai at the moment is that the Bund is under total reconstruction so very difficult to get to the river cruise pier and not pleasant to walk along.Overall a great trip ,I would recommend this hotel and I would stay there again.

Overall, for the price we paid, it was a good deal. The service was polite, fast and efficient. It is close to subway and shopping. It is also very convenient to get a taxi. There are good local restaurants nearby as well.

I would stay at this Hotel again and was a good value when we went in May 09. If you go by the subway use exit 7,12 or 19 at the peoples square and then get out your compass and go north two blocks and you should see the back of the building go three blocks and you will see the frount.
