Campanile Shanghai Huaihai

Location is prime. Proximity to subway, attractions and food.

Entrance to hotel is via a refuse room. Can be a bit smelly and wet.

Hôtel très bien situé dans Shanghai, idéal pour découvrir la ville. Proche de cafés/restaurants/magasins et du métro. Les chambres sont spacieuses, bien équipées et confortables. Amy de la réception était adorable.

Rien tout était très bien

The room is very good: comfortable, spacious, clean and well equipped. The location is good at 5-10’ to the nearest subway station. The staff is friendly.

The wifi does not work if you have a VPN enabled. The staff does not speak English but it’s not a big deal since apps such as DeepL and GoogleTranslate exit.

Great location. Friendly staff. Fun design choices. I liked the complementary Biscoff with the in room tea/coffee. Mattresses and pillows very firm - not everyone will like that, but I actually prefer it that way. Decently sized room. Cheap.

Maybe I was just unlucky with the allocated room, but I do not understand that this property has a 8.5+ rating. My biggest issue was that my room had a pungent smell of cigarettes. The window was open upon check in so I'm pretty sure cleaning staff realized but didn't bother to tell me there were issues. I returned to the room 9 hours later and the smell was still 100% there. The smell was so strong it makes me belief that the person(s) must have smoked constantly in the room, as the smell had penetrated the walls/furniture. This really made my stay very uncomfortable. The room had a lot of wear and tear. A lot of damaged surfaces and walls, so maintenance should be improved. Sound insulation was poor. You could hear everything that was going on in the hallway. The door had a big gap, which most likely didn't help. The bathroom sinks were placed in the entryhallway, which was a bit awkward. I had a second booking at this property a few days later and I decided to cancel as I was not happy with this experience. I stayed at the Jing An Campanile before and preferred that property a lot more.
