Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 Improved a lot
Nice and convenient location. Friendly staffs. Enjoyed staying.
Was so impressed by her attitude and professional on the Front desk -- Carrie. She is one of the best staff I met in IHG group hotels in China.
The taxi service still not been organized properly. It definitely needs more attention by the hotel before get improved.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Malei Clean, comfortable hotel
The staff were helpful at the hotel and it was clean. The room was comfortable, and had adequate lighting in the room with good curtains that blocked light in the morning. The location is convenient as well. The food at the Chinese restaurant was adequate but nothing special. I would recommend this hotel for a nice and comfortable stay.

Excellent service from staff during my stay at Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong. It is a quiet location but close to amenities. Staff's english is good and understandable which is important to me as I speak very little Chinese. Staff are friendly and helpful which makes my stay comfortable.

I had experience in getting taxi by myself in front of the hotel in the afternoon. Guess it's not in peak hour, no alert the guest will use this service after lunch.

Please make sure that if a room upgrade is offered that you take the name of the person offeing the upgrade and what facility is included in the package in writing, My experience was not good as i was told that Laundry service would be included but was charged for the service.

I stay here regularly and the only downside this time was that the Executive Lounge was under repair so happy hour was in the Irish Pub which is smoky and not very relaxing. Small complaint.
Definitely recommend the hotel.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by EChu Great place, great people... but
Everything is positive on this property... location, staff, interior of the room, cleanliness, etc. The only complaint.. and very unpleasant experience, was women sitting in the lobby-soliciting if I need "companion" or offer massage service. This should not happen in a 5-star hotel.

I had a memorable experience staying at the Holiday Inn Pudong Hotel. The Staff were very kind and helpful to me during my stay. The Room that I stayed was very clean, comfortable bed and good service. At the Front desk checking In and checking Out were very good. I do recommend others to stay in this Hotel on their next visit to Shanghai. I will return to stay in this Hotel on my next trip. Keep it up Holiday Inn Pudong.. Merry Christmas to you all at Holiday Inn Pudong..
Best Regards,

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by SoBeSparky A total standout in China and among world-wide Holiday Inns
The level of service and the property design and amenities are far exceeding your expectations of a Holiday Inn. This hotel bumps up against Intercontinental for perfect physical condition, attentive staff and a pleasant cheerful ambiance.
(I have stayed at HI's in England, Germany, Central America, Thailand and the USA.)
From the moment you enter and are greeted, you realize this Chinese hotel is different. While the service is not fawning, it is appropriate and focused on the guest. Any concern or complaint is dealt with immediately, not "soon" as many Chinese like to say.
This is a top-flight Holiday Inn. The executive club is a special amenity, with a staff that knows your name and remembers your preferences. Enjoy a quiet fresh breakfast, or the evening cocktails and snacks. The music, the smiles, the good food and drink can't be beat.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by CHLX Feeling like Home
I have stayed in Holiday Inn Pudong whenever i am on business trips in Shanghai Pudong. The reason being the coming back home feeling.. usually i find difficulties to sleep well while travelling and staying in hotels. Holiday Inn's bed and pillow gave me good dreams and most importantly slept through the night in total comfort. The other reason for coming back to Holiday Inn Pudong is due to the friendly , caring and efficiency from the conceirge staff. This July i was with my key client and we stayed in Holiday Inn Pudong, just as we reached the airport to return home, my client realised she left her laptop behind. Immediately we called the conceirge and less than 45 mins the young man rushed to hand over the laptop to my client, that saves the entire anxiety !! We didnt get the name of the staff, but we will recognise him when we are back with our client again. We liked his positive attitude.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by BTTJ Taxi stand ruined everything
Good: The staff are courteous, nice, and professional. The food service (including the executive lounge) is excellent.
Average: cheap plastic bath tub (even in the executive floor) makes a 3-star hotel laugh. Low executive floor (the ones on the 15th & 16th floor). Quite a walk from subway (especially when taxi is not readily available). Expensive 5-star service charges.
Good gym but swimming pool requires a cap, which they'd happy to sell you one for 85 yuan ($12). Hence a deserted pool scene.
Terrible: taxi service
This hotel allows several taxis (almost the same group) park in their taxi stands. Then these guys refused to take guests who will only go to destinations anywhere short of the 40km airports. They also blocked other cabs who are willing to take these guests. So this leaves many guests waiting for a long time for the staff to go get a taxi on the street.
Although I gave credit to the staff running out to get a taxi, the fact that the hotel allows this to happen indicates serious management problems. What's worse is that, when complained to, the reception desk staff even said that they will complain to the taxi commission (which is to say, this is not my problem).
When in Shanghai, if you can't get a cab in your own hotel within a reasonable time, you need a different hotel. I will not suggest this hotel to any one.

I always stay at this hotel when I visit Shanghai which is about 5 or 6 times a year. I happened to be staying on my birthday last year and they even noticed and sent up a cake. The neighborhood is good and the hotel is great.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Shukrat Average hotel due to a musty smell
The room and facilities were clean and modern, with impeccable service. Unfortunately, my room on the 32nd floor had musty, mildew-type smell that was a little nauseating. Beyond poor water pressure and the musty smell, I would recommend this hotel.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by peter27 facilities
I have been staying in this hotel many times some years ago and was one of the first to live there during months when it was opened. The recent renovation seems successful, with the exception of the sauna area which remained in a relatively poor condition including services.
This time I have been overall satisfied with my stay, the room, cleanliness, staff friendliness and general facilities. However, I have to add one critical point: During the "golden week" the executive lounge was closed for several days without compensation. I especially booked a club room in order to use the lounge and could not. The indicated reason (cleaning, maintenance) did not take place. Likely the reason was to send staff home during holiday. I could accept this if the management would have granted a reduction of room price.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by henryinchina Poor Customer Service
My complaint is that the hotel charges for internet when most other Holiday Inns do not that I stay at. More frustrating that the hotel charges Platinum members for this service. You send the wrong message to PC members, especially Platinum members the wrong message when you nickel and dime for charges like this.
when the front desk staff was asked about complimentary internet, was told it does not exist. so, why didn't the hotel change my rate to include it?
truly, this was my worst experience with Holiday Inn and makes me question what benefits and value Priority Club offers me.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Bernard30 Room options
After a long day of work I am not really happy the hotel is giving me 3 different options to choose from. Do I want a deluxe room with internet and breakfast? Or want to stick to the normal room rate without the breakfast. But wait there is a third option. You will get all these new points and a welcome drink if you join our loyalty program...
Nice but next time just give the room key and make the package options clear on the web-site.

The bed is extremly comfortable. that's one of the reason I like to stay in Holiday inn when I travel. the room is a little bit small as you can't find a comfortable chair to sit if you have a visitor.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by petersiu Poor food from the club lounge
I was convinced to add the additional service for internet and club lounge when checking in the hotel however the food provided from the club lounge isn't only with limited variety but the quality is poor, in terms of the standard that IHG hotels usually have as well as the price charged. I doubt if I will stay in Holiday Inn Pudong next time when I will be in Shanghai.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by lovebear a very cozy place to stay
with Family Mart (Convienience store), and Costa Coffee (cafe store) near by, just in front of the main entrance, you can enjoy the gym, swimming pool, and spa at this hotel. Hotel staffs are very friendly and kind, well speaks english most of all, and continental breakfast will be served mostly as western style, with baked beans and cereals, fruits, salads, etc. Gym will be ok, but the pool is not as clean as expected. However, overall stay, you can enjoy the hotel covering with major languages, and internet access, both wireless and wired at your room. Laundry service available.

Some of the reception staff do not smile at all.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Norm Nicely upgraded
I haven't been to Shanghai in over 4 years and had typically stayed in this Holiday Inn due to location. It was not that comfortable, but other factors made it a good stop like the Western menu choices. The renovated rooms are far more comfortable than I was expecting, plus the bath and shower improvements were very nice after a long day. Room service was quick, but still the food was not exceptional. It is hard to get a piece of meat in China that isn't thin and tough, so just keep your expectations low on a nice steak dinner. Breakfast is very nice. Overall, the room is nice enough to be there for an extended stay of a few weeks as I have typically done.
