DoubleTree by Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao

The location is in close proximity to the Panlong area, making it easily accessible. It's also conveniently situated near popular tourist attractions, enhancing its appeal for visitors.

Other than the location which is actually convenient to Hongqiao Airport and the great walking street of food/shops nearby (but far from the city center), it is a nice hotel worth the money.

I stayed at this hotel for one night during a business trip and overall had a smooth experience. The price is very reasonable, and the hotel itself is fairly ok. They also gave me an upgrade when I checked in, but I can’t say how that room was different to the one that I booked. The rooms and breakfast were both okay — nothing outstanding, but perfectly fine for a short stay. One of the highlights is the convenient location, with many dinner options nearby, which was great for our needs. I appreciated the welcome cookie, although it was quite hard and crumbly — a nice gesture, but not very tasty. One small inconvenience was that I couldn’t get a Chinese invoice (fapiao) directly at the hotel; instead, they told me to request it through the booking app, which I found a bit unusual. Despite these minor issues, it was an easy and pleasant stay. I would definitely consider staying here again if I need a hotel in this area at this price point.
