The airport hotels near Pudong are not close to a metro station. Thus it is not convenient and cheap to travel to the city.
Chuansha is the metro station the nearest to the airport with many hotels in walking distance. The remaining stations between Chuansha and Pudong have no hotels nearby.
Pros:
- Cheap accommodation
- Staff is friendly and helpful, but don't speak English
- Location: it is a 10min walk from Chuansha (exit1). It takes 40min by metro to People's Square, 15min to Pudong. It took me only 30min from hotel to airport by metro.
- Airport shuttle: it costs 20rmb if it is not included in the hotel price. But the last shuttle to the airport already leaves at 7pm. I thus took the convenient metro instead
Contact the hotel to arrange a pick up, preferably a day before
- Many convenient stores and restaurants (catered for locals) nearby with even a big mall near Chuansha
Cons:
- Room was not as nice as on picture: stained carpet, old furniture,..
- Needs refurbishment
- Bed was hard, but sheets were clean
- Tiny, old bathroom: an old glass cabin in room corner
- Mediocre breakfast
If you are on a low budget, looking for a hotel near Pudong airport with easy to the airport and city via metro, this hotel might not be a bad choice. However, it is a typical Chinese businesses hotel. So, don't have too high expectations. I saw several hotels near Chuansha that looked much nicer. Next time I will try one of those
