Pine City Hotel — Hotel in Shanghai

In the ever changing city of Shanghai, I can totally understand the need for construction to maintain and upgrade buildings. However, beginning work at 7 a.m. in a hotel is completely ridiculous! The jackhammer work on the first floor was audible from my room on the 14th floor, and was consistently able to wake me up - and I’m a heavy sleeper. On the bright side, early birds need not worry about setting alarms. ||The room itself was fine and housekeeping did quite well. The light fixtures might be a bit confusing on your first night - each light bulb has its own switch!||Finally, if you’re here for the free WiFi, look elsewhere. You’d expect the network to stay connected, but here you’ll have to log in repeatedly - if you leave the hotel for coffee, if you go to sleep, if you don’t use your phone for an hour...|Logging in is not easy. There’s no global password for the hotel. Instead, you use your room number as the username and the last six digits of the ID you checked in with (?!) as the password. ||The best thing I can say about this hotel is its proximity to a 7/9 Line Metro station, but in the sprawling city with 14+ lines that’s no longer an...

Fairly large 4-star hotel very close to the Metro - and about 45 mins from the airport by road. Check in was fine. Rooms are spacious - and appear to have been renovated since some of the photos here. Comfy bed - not too soft. Wall mounted USB chargers are handy. Bathroom very clean with a good monsoon shower. I had no problems with the A/C - and the room was cool (at least in early autumn). I didn't notice any cigarette smell on the 18th floor. There wasn't any building work at night during my stay. The Wi-Fi is hopeless and the business centre's internet was worse still. Good 4G reception if you have enough data. Buffet breakfast was pretty standard but decent.||||Overall, I thought it was better than many of the reviews - clean, comfortable and spacious with good A/C. No wow-factor but ideal for a...

I stayed here for 2 nights as I was attending a conference being hosted on property. This is a lovely hotel with courteous staff. Everyone I encountered working at the hotel spoke some English. The hotel lobby is a bit dated, but very well kept and extremely open and airy. My room was lovely and has been updated since some of the older pictures have been posted on this site. The bed was comfortable, room large, and linens were great. The bathroom amenities were on point with other western style hotels. The WiFi worked perfectly for me and i did not find myself having to log back in as others have pointed out. The included breakfast was good, some Western and some Eastern choices. They had an egg/omelette station and good coffee. Overall, if you are in this part of Shanghai, this is a...
