Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao – Hotel near airport in Shanghai

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, especially those with access to the Club Millesime lounge, were new and very comfortable, making it convenient for my visit to the NECC. However, there was a significant issue with a strong smell of raw sewage in my room. The service was friendly and attentive overall, with a few instances of overpricing for transport. The location, although a bit challenging for taxi drivers, was close to the Exhibition area and train station but far from Shanghai downtown. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of options, both Western and Chinese, available for a reasonable price. The facilities were generally modern and well-equipped, though a room's sewage smell overshadowed the positives.

The hotel is very family-friendly with spacious rooms that comfortably accommodated my wife, my 1-year-old son, and myself. The high ceiling gave the room an airy feel, making our stay enjoyable. However, the remote location may pose challenges for those needing frequent access to Shanghai downtown.
