Mercure Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station

Difficult to find the location, no pick-up service

Check in was fine. Two of the elevators weren't working and one that was was also filthy and unfinished. The the hallway carpets are all stained and somewhat disgusting. When I got to my first room the bathroom had a bit of an off-smell, however this only intensified until a couple hours later when the entire room was inundated with the stench of sewage. After about 30 minutes of discussion and inspection, the staff moved me to another room. Unfortunately the toilet did not properly function there. This was my third stay at this hotel. The previous two times I had been put off my the dirtiness of the elevators and the hallways, but the room was so cheap and so convenient to the Hongqiao rail station that I took the good with the bad, but the continued decline has put this hotel on my blacklist. I travel in China regularly for business and realize that the standards there are different than in Europe - in some ways they are better, in others worse - but this hotel is just below what I would consider a minimum acceptable standard. Spend a bit of extra money and go somewhere else...

Nice and worth the price. Recommended for stay. Clean as well

Hotel itself is absolutely fine - comfortable and in quiet location. Well placed for the train station which is a 15 minutes walk. One suggestion is for the hotel to provide more detailed instructions on the website on how to how to reach it on foot - I have taken a taxi from the train station and the driver was less than pleased having to drive me such a short distance. No idea what he said, but kept shouting waving his hands, so presume unhappy :) . It is a very easy walk, but hotel is a little tucked away and not immidiately visible from the main road. Overall fine and would stay again for the convenience of its location.

After paying for the reservation online with Expedia I was told at the hotel that I'd need to pay the nightly rate. They claimed that what I paid online. Was only a deposit and that it would be refunded to my account. Now after returning to the states, nothing has been refunded.

The hotel is further from the Hongqiao Train Station than it looks on the map. Would suggest a taxi but you can walk for about 20 minutes. Can get across the access road via the underground mall (The Hub) or to the top level and use walkways. Refrigerator did not work. Changed rooms. Wifi speed is ok. Rooms are very large. There are no English explanation sheets for the air conditioning and TV remote. You will need to contact the front desk. The hotel is new and modern and in an industrial park area. There are convenience stores nearby and a shopping center with food not far away. Front desk spoke limited English.

unfortunately no signage on main road thus no walking direction leading to hotel inside a maze of buildings!

Everything was a mess! Staff don’t talk English, refrigerator does not work ! Phone does not work ... I do not recommend

Nothing out of ordinary. Room is clean but relatively small. Breakfast is good.

Place was clean. Smoke from other rooms would blow in each day for our 2 rooms. Very little english spoken so support was limited, but the front desk tried their best! Breakfast was good, but not outstanding. Internet was acceptable given China limitations. Overall, a decent stay would would stay again. Close to Alibaba campus.

No clear driving directions to Hotel. Very hard to find even with gps. WiFi was not available in our room. All written information was in Chinese. Needed Some english. No info was provided about food...breakfast or coffee. Was it included or would there be a charge? Air conditioner hard to set. No wash cloth with linens. Would have liked more coffee in room. But room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Staff tried to be Of help when questioned.

- actually majority of the staff actually cannot speak english as well the room AC controls are only in chinese. That would not be issue if it would be a simple china-outback hotel but as they advertise communication in english and are of this renowned brand and price level, at a major international transport hub, I have to complain about it. - the same with soundproofing, you can hear chating and music from next rooms in the night + spacious,modern and clean exec room with modern bathroom and good amenities (free soft drinks, sofa, electrical bidet...) ++ Location - Close walking distance to Hongqiao hub, they have a free shuttle to the railway station Lot of chinese restaurants and shops around + huge Hongtiao shopping center + working wifi

Terrible, phone in the room could only make hotel internal calls only!!!! If u need to call outsiders, you need to make a call next to receptionist on the ground floor!!! Totally terrible n ridiculous in a Mercure hotel

very rude staff, I would not recommend this place for foreigners

Rude staff, wouldn't recommend for foreigners

A near new hotel in a brand new city within easy distance from the HUB shopping mall, the Railway Station and the Airport

Very handy location. Very new and clean with helpful staff. Excellent

This is a very nice hotel. They have very good staff and have free shuttle bus to the railroad station. Love this hotel.

一开始给了一间超级小的房间。非常惊讶，mercure竟然有这么局促的房间后来知道，(每层几十间房就4间角上的房特小，躺在床看见天花板比床大一点点，还是斜的）。 订的是twinbed写在英文订单上的 . 房间里的床竟然是个单人床，。跟hotels 打电话，他们也很帮我沟通 但是前台一个男生非常不变通，非说我订的就是这种房间。本来其他员工说可以换别的房，他还不让。第二天早上我出门这个男生跟我说抱歉，并帮我后换到了大的标间。其实早这样大家都开心，在有房的基础上，客户开心，自然传播好口碑。后来看了一些评价，很多别人的评价都不好，作为4星级的mercure 曾经是我非常信赖的品牌，别换了中国东家欧洲气质全没了！这个楼可能造型比较特别，四角房间造型各异，那几间真是很难受，如果是2星级酒店，我也就不说什么了，建议酒店把每层角上2间改成一个套间卖，要不谁住都难受。最后结果还可以，酒店还是懂道理的。所以继续支持。

駅までのシャトルバスが1時間に1本しかないため結果不便。タクシーを呼んでもらったら10分程度で来るがお金がかかるので意味がない。ホテル周りは夜になると怖いくらいに真っ暗で何もない。
