Didn't stay in that hotel. My comments are on Maglev train. It's getting old. I rode it years ago when first installed. Somehow this time the speed limit is being slowed down from over 400Km/hr. to max 301Km/hr. Wonder why? If one is in a hurry, it can save time. Travel time around 8 mins. Problem is the train runs on a 20 mins interval, so the time adds up. Since the Shanghai subway Line 2 now reach the Pudong Int'l Airport, & costs only 7 RMB from PuXi.

Another thing, the new Speed train is much better, faster, quite, & very smooth & stable. ...

Location on the concourse between the Metro Line #2 and the Maglev couldn't be better. Also it is near a 1st floor mall with abundant eateries which was a bonus as it was raining.

Staff do not speak English but they were very helpful indeed. For the price paid a one night stay is excellent value for money. The whole place should be re-vamped and upgraded as it is looking very tired if not old but then it would be more expensive. Don't stay here if you want all of the luxuries as there aren't any, just a basic room. Will stay again only for the...
