Stats

I spend Easter vacation in Shanghai and choose the Pullman due to the good review above and its location: south of the French concession and close to a metro station.

Check In

Check-in was quick. I enquire prior to my arrival about an early check-in, which was not promised but they will do their best. I arrived at 7:50 AM at the hotel and had to wait 20 minutes for the room to get ready. 

They gave me the key, a welcome voucher as well as a leaftlet explaining the lounge benefits and opening hours. I was upgraded from a Superior room to an Executive room.

Sorry for the state of the pictures, I took them on the last day of my stay. 

The room was large and gone through the soft renovation. It featured a desk, a sofa chair with a table, closet, tea making tools and a nespress machine with four capsule. There was only two bottles of water when I checked in but after talking with the lounge staff, I had eight every day. 

The bed was comfortable, I had good nights and the AC worked fine, it was easy to control the temperature. 

The only problem I had was the lack of pressure of the shower and the light switch being quite spread out in the room, there was no master. 

Service

Service was really good both in the restaurant, lounge and reception staff. Only one morning I was disapointed by the lounge staff: they did not serve beverages pro-actively neither proposed me eggs on order.

As Maelstrom wrote, the social hour at the lounge was good enough to make a dinner. The breakfast was also good, but significantly reduced compared to the restaurant downstair. I split and spend half of my breakfast upstairs for a more attentive service and quiet morning, and other half in the restaurant to benefit from the choice.

Finally the view from the lounge are quite stunning if the weather is good.

Gym

The gym was basic and run down. A few treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical bike and steps machine, plus free weights and a multi-purpose strengthening machine. 

It closed down the 23rd April until end of June for maintenance so hopefully a good facelift will be done, with new equipments.

Location

Located on line 9, station Dapuqiao. Very convenient, Tianzifeng is just around the corner as well as the French concession. Time to/from PVG was 50 minutes using Maglev then line 2 then line 9.

View of the hotel from Exit 2 of the metro station.

 

The SML mall is above the station and has all you need for necessities and dinner if you want to go outside close to the hotel. 

Overall

Overall this was a very good choice for sight seeing in Shanghai: a good hotel with good service and a location more relaxed than the Bund or East Nanjing.
