We enjoyed our stay. Close to the supermarket. Beds were comfy although there was a smell of cigarettes. Location is pretty good. Hotel is clean for the price of it.

Very comfortable room, nice and spacious. Wifi was difficult to connect to if you don't have a chinese number. Location is okay a bit far from metro. Great places to eat nearby. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Two people stayed for 5 days and it was good value for money. However, the bathroom is semi-transparent and not properly separated from the room, so it smells like cigarettes or the drain. And make sure to use a filter when you shower. We changed it once a day. They change the sheets and towels every day if you ask, and the staff are friendly. If you are sensitive to smells and cleanliness is important, I do not recommend this place. I am not sure about the soundproofing, but it was the last room, so we slept well without any noise. Oh, and the water purifier smells like tap water, so buy water ^_^ The room condition is small, but we were able to open our suitcases, and it was clean overall, but we were a bit lazy, so if cleanliness is important, I do not recommend it!

Response from Property: Thank you very much for your review. I am sorry to bring you a bad stay. Regarding the smoke problem, the hotel has posted no-smoking signs in the room and public areas. The room also has an exhaust system. The water purifier is indeed direct drinking water. If you have high requirements for water, I suggest that there is a convenience store next door. I apologize to you again. We here will also actively improve and strive to improve. I hope to bring you a good stay experience next time. I wish you a happy life!

The room is relatively small, but it is enough for one person to live in. There is no problem with hygiene. The cleaning lady is very nice. Overall, it is a comfortable stay and the price-performance ratio is also very high

Stayed for 2 consecutive nights. The 2 young ladies at the front desk upgraded the room. The service attitude of the young ladies was 👍. The facilities in the hotel are quite new. The room environment is OK. This room is clean. There is a wall-mounted water dispenser. It is not common in hotels at this price. I will still choose this hotel to stay when my relatives come to stay in the future.

It's a bit far from the subway station, but for Shanghai, at this price, you can't expect much. The soundproofing in the room is really poor. The people next door snore and talk as if they're right next to you, without even a sense of distance. Once you enter the room, your phone signal disappears, and you can only get it in the hallway. This is very inconvenient for outsiders who use VPN apps or network cards. So, early in the morning or at night, you'll see many people talking on the phone or browsing their phones in the hallway. There's no solution, just accept it. As for other facilities and cleanliness, since the room is small, I didn't expect much. As for the service, apart from checking in and out, there was almost no interaction, and it was unremarkable.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for your review. I'm sorry to have brought you a bad stay experience. Regarding the soundproofing issue, earplugs are available at the front desk. The room signal problem is indeed a little poor due to the large number of rooms. You can connect to the wireless network, which is still very powerful. If you have any questions, you can contact the front desk to solve them. Thank you for your suggestions. Xiaobu apologizes to you again. Xiaobu will also actively improve and strive to improve. I hope to bring you a good stay experience next time. I wish you a happy life!

I felt very comfortable staying in this hotel. The room was clean and bright, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and I slept very sweetly. The hotel service was also very considerate. The check-in and check-out at the front desk were very fast, and the staff were enthusiastic and answered all questions. The breakfast in the restaurant was rich in variety and tasted good, which could meet the needs of different tastes. The location of the hotel was also very convenient, with convenient transportation around, and it was easy to shop and play. Overall, this stay experience was very good, and I would choose this place next time and recommend it to my friends.

The court was in session at Putuo. I stayed nearby the day before. It was very close. There was a KFC opposite, so I had breakfast the next day. The room was simple but clean. The price was cheap and it was a good place to stay.

We originally booked a small room to save money, but the handsome guy at the front desk saw that there was no room for two people, so he upgraded us to a large room. There were many negative reviews, but we stayed here with a try-it attitude, after all, it saves money! But after moving in, I found it was really good. I want to ask those who gave negative reviews, isn’t it hypocritical to find cheap prices for cheap white powder? You want to save money and still want five-star service, are you afraid of princess syndrome? When you are away from home, especially in Shanghai, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, enjoying such service at such a low price has exceeded my expectations! Overall, I am very satisfied, but I just hope that the washing machine can have a business function! The location is also very good, and there is everything around!

During this trip to Shanghai to visit relatives, I stayed at the Pudding Select Hotel for seven consecutive days. Overall, I felt that the facilities were complete and the hotel was clean. The environment is comfortable and the service is good. The overall evaluation is very good!

It's a long walk from the subway station. When I first checked in, the room was not cleaned and I had to wait for more than half an hour. When I checked in, I saw the cleaning lady was still cleaning. The door was open and a towel was hanging on the handle. I asked her, but she was not very impatient. The TV was not watchable. The soundproofing was not good. But there was a water dispenser, not a kettle, which was ok.

Booked here for two days when I came to Shanghai for a trip! The location is easy to find. Because the weather was hot, I slept in the hotel for two days. Hahaha! The facilities are also very new. The sound insulation is a little bit worse, but I am still very satisfied.
