I stayed at the麗呈酒店 (Licheng Hotel) on Pudong Avenue this time in Shanghai, and the overall experience was better than I initially expected.
I think the most convenient aspect of this hotel is its proximity to the subway. You're practically right outside Xiepu Road Station on Line 14 as soon as you leave the hotel. In a city like Shanghai, where you often need to visit many places daily, staying right by a subway entrance can save a lot of time. It's also very convenient for getting to places like Lujiazui.
The room itself was generally clean and spacious enough, and the bed was quite comfortable. The decor isn't particularly luxurious, but it feels fresh and has all the essentials. You can even have food deliveries brought up by a robot, which is quite handy when you don't feel like going downstairs at night.
The front desk service also left a good impression on me. They were quick to assist with any issues, and their manner of speaking felt natural, not robotic at all.
Additionally, the hotel is quite close to Pudong Riverside, so if you have time in the evening, you can go for a walk. The only minor point is that the hotel has many rooms, and the corridors might feel a bit confusing when you're first trying to find your room, but you'll get used to it after one night.
If you're coming to Shanghai primarily for tourism, business, or official matters, I think this hotel offers good value for money. It's not one of those hotels you stay in just for a photo op, but its convenient location, comfortable rooms, and consistently good service are actually more practical than a lot of flashy amenities. If I need to be in the Pudong area again, I would definitely consider staying here.
