Mercure Hotel (Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station) Reviews

It’s a boring kind of place with unexciting rooms but I suppose that is typical for this type of hotel. You probably can’t walk there judging by the maze of roads. And although it is about 1 km away from the station, taxis seem to need to travel 5 times that distance. I can’t see any particular benefit to staying here. When you do arrive, don’t expect a warm welcome. Also the two ladies on reception has no English, which is unusual for this type of hotel. The room was adequate but walls and doors are thin and the corridors reek of smoke. The worst thing though is that the 2 flat pin electrical sockets have a plate that stops you from using them! You can only use the 3 pin angled sockets which nobody carries. There is USB-A but all of my devices are now USB-C. I could hear through the wall the desperate attempts of my neighbour to plug in his devices, and failing. It is ridiculous. They give no warnings, advice or guidance about this. Thankfully my power bank had enough charge to get me through to my train the next day. I wouldn’t choose this hotel again. Better to jump on the MRT and travel 2 or 3 stops down the line for a better place with easier access and electrical sockets that work.

I chose this hotel for my staying because it was really close to the train station and well maintained. The furniture was new, the room was clean and they gave me some healthy snacks at the arriving time. The breakfast was chinese and international style and has enought choices. The only problem was the the noise from the other rooms, the walls probably are really thin.

They have very good breakfast and great service. I will use this hotel for next trip, when I use Hongqiao railway station.

Great stay at Mercure Hotel, huge room with great amenities and near hong qiao railway station

Very good service, can check in even at 12am

We had a very comfortable stay at Mercure Hotel. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The staff are also very helpful and accommodating. This hotel provided the perfect stopover for us after a late night arrival before heading to Suzhou in the morning. 

Very good room and very accommodating staff

Good choice for overnight sleep and the train travel from Hongqiao station in next day.

Stayed here for 6 nights. Overall hotel quality is good and service is on point.

It’s a good hotel, the location is near the railway

It was a great experience staying here. The staff at the lobby were really nice and helpful. All the facilities are clean and of good quality. Overall, I highly recommend staying here.

Good comfort Modern hotel. Breakfast is excellent.

I Like it. It is clear.

Not easy to find hotel location, because inside the business building area.. not near the main road.
