Pullman Shanghai Qingpu Excellence

不错的体验

English is non existing. For an international hotel you’d expect some basic English. Ordering food was very difficult.

ann很好

出差无意订了这家酒店，lily非常热情给免费升级了，介绍了酒店，下次有机会再来

The hotel rates high on every single factor: room, cleanliness, breakfast, etc. It is a pity the subway is not very well connected.
The hotel has a gym and a swimming pool (which I haven't tried). There is a lounge as well in which consume light dinners and beverages.

お部屋も綺麗で朝食も美味しくて良かったです

I may not choose this hotel for visiting Shanghai, but it is a perfect place for my business. The hotel is quite remote from the city centre, which is very inconvenient to travel back and forth. However, it is fully equipped for business purposes.

I was staying at Pullman Qingpu to visit the National Exhibition and Convention Centre everyday. There were no 5 stars Accor hotel in Shanghai has a good deal, but this hotel offered a decent price tag at 498 Yuan per night. As a result, I was traveling from Pullman Qingpu to NECC everyday by train, which took me 30 to 40 minutes 1 way by riding a Didi to Caoying Road and board the Shanghai Metro line 17. It was such a steal to have this price although the travel time was long.

Upon arrival, the check-in procedure was smooth at 11pm. I booked 2 lowest category rooms, but got upgraded by 3 categories and ended up getting an executive room for both. The room was spacious, and it has a decent view to the nearby buildings and a river. However, there were no explanations of benefits as a Platinum member, but basically I got a free breakfast, free lounge access on the 22nd floor, free room upgrade, and 2 welcome drink vouchers. The lounge opened from 12pm until 11pm, but they served afternoon tea from 3pm to 5pm and dinner from 6pm to 8h30pm.

One of the thing that I love was the food and service in the executive lounge. Lucy and Ivy were always happy to assist me and serving beverages throughout the day, although they were unable to properly communicate in English, but a translator had done all the work! Once I lost my bag and need to find it, Lucy helped me to find it in the lounge. The food was top-notch, and I particularly loved their Chinese sweet soups because it was lightly sweet and refreshing. Fruits like cantaloupe was a must-try. The food was served in a buffet, so I can had it as my dinner.

However, I think there are some improvements that the hotel may consider for a better experiences. Firstly, the AC in the room was hot. I put on 15 degree C, but it felt more like 27 degree C. The weather was cold when I visit, but it may be a huge drawback during the hot seasons like summer. Secondly, when I had lunch at Azur, my Accor Plus 50% discount for 2 people was not recognised. I had to show all the informations online from Accor Plus, which was so unusual. They must had trained the servers to know most of the benefits within the hotel's loyalty program. Thirdly, the cutlery set-up for breakfast was unusual during the weekday. There were only a spoon and a chopstick. There was no self-service of getting a cutlery like a fork and knife, making the experience of eating pastries went wrong. I was unable to cut my sandwich, and I had to tear it! However, the full set was offered during the weekends, so I don't know why?

But overall, this is a great hotel for business in Shanghai, especially the west side of Shanghai. There is a nearby Novotel, so maybe I will going there next to see are there any major differences?

Good location , restaurant is very good , breakfast is nice .

This hotel is one of the new hotels in qingpu , good value for money , it’s cheap compare to other 5 star hotels in shanghai . There is a river side walk and some bars behind the hotel . Breakfast very good .
