Situated within 1.7 km of Shanghai World Financial Centre SWFC and 2.1 km of Jin Mao Tower, Today Aparthotel West Lujiazui Shanghai features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Shanghai. The property is located 3.2 km from Oriental Pearl Tower, 3.4 km from Superbrand Shopping Mall Shanghai and 3.8 km from Yu Garden. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The location is great, just need a bit time to find the place for the first time. There are few shopping mall nearby within walking distance 5 minutes. The building out looking is a bit old, but the inside is great and Morden. It is actually a local residential building, therefore do not expect for a reception.

Situated in Shanghai and with Shanghai Disneyland reachable within 24 km, Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Airport, an IHG Hotel features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a restaurant. The property is set 31 km from Shanghai New International Expo Centre, 38 km from Shanghai World Financial Centre SWFC and 39 km from Jin Mao Tower. The accommodation offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests. The hotel is easy to find and can be accessed without leaving the building (you do have to clear customs). The room was spacious and offered everything you could wish for - comfy mattresses, good blackout curtains (we were staying only during daytime hours as we had to bridge 14 hours between a flight from Madrid and to Melbourne), and a good shower. Excellent breakfast featuring a variety of western and Chinese/Asian options. The food was tasty and of good quality.

Situated 2.9 km from Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, Shanghai Lerongju Boutique Apartment Metro Line 8 20meter offers a fitness centre, and air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi. It is located 5.8 km from Oriental Pearl Tower and provides a lift. There is parking on-site and the property features an electric vehicle charging station. The communication with the host was extremely good, they were always available and very nice. There is no key needed to enter the accomodation, only a card to enter the elevator in the casement floor, that you'll receive upon meeting the hosts. To enter the apartment you need to swipe over the black key pad and when numbers appear, you'll enter the passcode you'll receive from the hosts. With its location right above the subway station, travelling to other places was very easy. Also having the food court of a mall right next to it and supermarkets all in the very same building was very convenient to have. Furthermore, our flight back with air china to our home country got cancelled but with us not owning a chinese SIM-card, we asked the hosts if we could borrow a phone to call the airline customer service. But as the customer service did not speak english, Samuel, one of the hosts, talked to the customer service and translated the whole conversation for a whole 2 hours for us, while also having to convince the airline to get us rebooked for free (as there were complications with the airline system). Finally, thanks to Samuel (and others), we were rebooked and succesfully got our flight home. We are very thankful to everyone and will definitely come back, if we should visit Shanghai again. Thank you very much, it was a very pleasant stay.
