Hongqiao Int'l Pearl City Tours and Activities

If you’re booking this place for an amazing room with an amazing view and a bath tub by the window you will not be disappointed. If you are booking this for the pool area, don’t get your hopes up, it feels more like a public bath house than a luxury hotel pool, similar feel with the spa. The overall hotel and rooms are nice, I just felt like they needed a deep clean and a bit of TLC, grouting etc. light switches and AC seemed to have a mind of their own and didn’t always respond to pressing the light switches. I loved staying here, but that’s my constructive criticism. It misses a few of those tick boxes that take it upto being a world class hotel.

Nice and clean family room with spacious toilet. Short walking distance to the bund but quite a distance to walk to the nearest Nanjing East Road or Yuyuan Metro station, ended up using Didi rides most of the mornings as it’s too hot and sweaty for morning walks. Breakfast spread is okay and it has a noodle soup station but very crowded and chaotic in the morning and have to wait for a table. It offers free self-service laundry but the washers and dryers are always busy, hard to secure a slot. The hotel offers complimentary light supper too, included porridge and steamed buns.
