Pod Inn (Shanghai Pudong Airport) Reviews

It was easily the smelliest place during my trip to China, in part likely due to the windows opening onto a murky river. It's bearable for a one-night stay if you're travelling solo and not too particular about cleanliness, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything longer.

More than what i could have bargained for, especially for this price. I arrived half an hour before the official check-in time, no problem. They instantly asked me when my flight would leave, and told me to be ready in the hotel lobby at 04:30 to get the free shuttle bus at 04:40. Everything is fine and well. Also had a real good night's rest, the bed was also much better than what i expected for the price. Will book again for sure!

Do not book this hotel!!! I know it’s cheap but avoid. The hotel is 20 minutes from the airport and it’s in a horrible area (destroyed and abandoned buildings around). Nothing else around, just one shop. The last shuttle bus back to the airport is ar 1:30pm, and then starts back up at 3am so if your flight is between this time you need to order a taxi. Front desk will only order it for you if you have cash. The bathroom was FILTHY. We didn’t even use it, it was that bad. We stayed in this hotel for 3h and went back to the airport because we’d rather sit on a bench for 10h than stay in this shack.

The girls at the front desk were extremely nice and informative. They have lots of times that the free bus runs to the airport. Worth a stay if you have an early morning flight the next day.

convenient place if you need somewhere to stay after arriving at pudong airport, but the facilities were a little dirty and the service was not very helpful when we arrived at the airport looking for the pickup

Im baffled by this high rating, I would only give it 2 stars maximum. First off be careful when booking a two person room here as they only allow men to book those rooms. I had to pay and extra 80rmb to get a single room. The lady at the desk said on the Chinese booking apps it's clearly stated,but since I can't read Chinese the relevance of what she had to say to me in respect of that response is irrelevant. Trip. Com should really adjust this rating because if they consider newly renovated as painting over everything including rust as an upgrade it's pretty sad. Amenities are below par and slippers are multi use,which is disgusting, so bring your own!! The shower door was basically a piece of unmovable glass on rusted wheels. So major safety hazard to even move. I guess the saving grace on the price is it includes a shuttle to the airport. Also the entire building was musty ,old and smelled of cigarettes and mould.yuck! I hope this review helps and best of luck some illustrations are added for your perusal.

Not suitable for business traveler. Although not far from Pudong airport, it takes 1/2 an hour to get there via the bus service provided. As it is car pool and picking/dropping passenger in many different location. Hotel interior is new and good, but its exterior is rather dirty.

Very attentive staff and close to the airport. The room is simple yet good for a short stay. Good quality-price ratio

Good for 1 night. Close to the airport. The beds are clean, but the bathroom not that much.

Cheap and convenient for a night before flight only!

Not bad for a quick night but nothing more

Pleasant environment, cooperative staff.

Probably 5/10

not bad
