Mercure Hotel (Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station)

酒店到虹橋站不算方便，直線距離兩公里，打車需要繞一圈；房間很大 早餐也棒

房間很乾凈，住的很舒服～

房間整潔。

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The front desk receptionist was friendly and welcoming, making check-in and check-out quick and hassle-free. The room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment throughout my stay. Breakfast was decent with a good variety to start the day. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience.

It’s a boring kind of place with unexciting rooms but I suppose that is typical for this type of hotel. You probably can’t walk there judging by the maze of roads. And although it is about 1 km away from the station, taxis seem to need to travel 5 times that distance. I can’t see any particular benefit to staying here. When you do arrive, don’t expect a warm welcome. Also the two ladies on reception has no English, which is unusual for this type of hotel. The room was adequate but walls and doors are thin and the corridors reek of smoke. The worst thing though is that the 2 flat pin electrical sockets have a plate that stops you from using them! You can only use the 3 pin angled sockets which nobody carries. There is USB-A but all of my devices are now USB-C. I could hear through the wall the desperate attempts of my neighbour to plug in his devices, and failing. It is ridiculous. They give no warnings, advice or guidance about this. Thankfully my power bank had enough charge to get me through to my train the next day. I wouldn’t choose this hotel again. Better to jump on the MRT and travel 2 or 3 stops down the line for a better place with easier access and electrical sockets that work.

酒店環境不錯，也比較好找，前台服務熱情專業，房間衞生過關，十分不錯。美中不足的是打掃衞生的阿姨在未敲門未告知的情況下直接刷卡進來，十分突兀，觀感比較差。
