Shanghai Changning District Hotels

I had a fantastic stay at Citadines Songhong Shanghai and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. One of the standout features for me was the exceptional cleanliness of the entire property—from the lobby to the room, everything was spotless and well-maintained. It gave me real peace of mind and made the stay all the more comfortable. The location is also super convenient, with easy access to public transport, restaurants, and shops. Whether you’re in Shanghai for business or leisure, this location puts you in a great spot to get around the city with ease. Another major plus was the in-room washing machine. It made a huge difference, especially for a longer stay. Being able to do laundry right in the room was so convenient and really elevated the experience—it’s these thoughtful amenities that set Citadines apart. All in all, Citadines Songhong exceeded my expectations. Clean, convenient, and comfortable—I’ll definitely be coming back!

Overall, the room offered excellent value for money. I really liked the charming retro decor – it's clear a lot of care went into the design. Having a smart toilet, a kitchenette, and a washing machine made it feel very well-equipped for longer stays. The breakfast was a definite highlight; it used high-quality ingredients, offered a great mix of Chinese and Western options, and they even focus on sustainability, which is a nice touch. The staff were also very friendly and provided great service. On the downside, there was a noticeable musty smell in the room, which was quite strong. We also spotted a few minor cleanliness issues, like dirty windows that made it hard to clearly enjoy the view outside. Lastly, the shower pressure was quite weak.

My parents stayed here while visiting. The location is close to our apartment while being well connected to the rest of the city by the nearby line 10 Yili Station. They had breakfast every morning and enjoyed it each time.

The location is excellent, and the garden villa setting is quite charming. There's a quaint cafe and a villa-style restaurant right at the entrance, giving off a very vintage vibe. It seemed like a popular spot for young women to take photos. However, perhaps due to it being an older property, our room had a distinct musty smell. The room was small; if you're traveling with a lot of luggage, I'd highly recommend booking a larger room type, as there wasn't even enough space to properly open our suitcases. The bedside table and walls showed visible signs of mold, which was extremely uncomfortable. I strongly suggest the management addresses this issue. Regarding service: We arrived past 9 PM and couldn't find parking. We called the front desk, and a staff member came out. But after watching us park, she simply vanished, leaving us to search for the reception for quite some time. We were expecting complimentary welcome drinks or restaurant vouchers, but neither was offered nor even mentioned. They didn't even tell us when or where breakfast was served 🥲😂. Breakfast was also very basic. While it was enough to fill us up, it wasn't anything special.

Always a Pleasure — My Third Stay and Still Loving It! This was my third time staying at this hotel, and it continues to impress. The location is convenient—just a short walk to the subway station and surrounded by plenty of great local eats. Whether you’re in the mood for street food or something more upscale, it’s all within 15mins walking distance. 🧼 Cleanliness: The cleaning staff are incredibly quick and polite. My room was always spotless, and they were respectful and efficient every single day. 🍽️ Breakfast: The breakfast selection is excellent for the price. The coffee machine serves good americanos and lattes. I also appreciated the daily fruit platters, which added a fresh and thoughtful touch after a long day at work. 💁♀️ Service: Nana (娜娜） and her colleagues’ service was still outstanding. They are attentive, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Their warm demeanor and helpful attitude made a real difference in my stay.

Location was perfect. Easily accessible to Hongqiao airport and railway station as well as Shanghai South railway station by metro line 2. All the cute shops, restaurants in the historical buildings off Yuyuan Road are just across the street. Service was excellent. Seria and Una at the front desk were very helpful and responsive; they even arranged for a welcome fruit platter! The room was comfortable and stylishly designed. Loved the hangout area. Great vibe!

This hotel is new, open this year. It was just 10 minutes away from the metro station, if you walk slowly and enjoy walking. Located near the local housing area, very convenient to walk to the local market, 10-15 minutes away, variety of local food to choose from, famous HeMa groceries mart also within walking distance. For those who love to check out the locals supermarket. The hotel staff was friendly & polite. They upgraded me on the day I checked in, to a bigger room, as my husband asked for a quiet room. As it is new and still undergoing some maintenance after renovation, you might find dust in the wardrobe corner, or some hiding area. We did not make a fuss about it, understanding that this could not be avoided. The design of the room is not what we expected, for example the bath tub is outside of the bathroom, if you open the door to take something, others might see from outside.it is best if a blind/curtain is provided. The wardrobe is an open concept, so as the basin/powdering area. The breakfast is good for me, Chinese & western mix. They do provide free supper - noodles, as well. Overall I'm satisfied with my stay, although a minor incident happened but the staff managed to look into it and solved it. Bonus point is, the hotel provides a free day trip around Shanghai by bus. Just booked a day earlier.

My elderly family members brought the children to Shanghai, and they genuinely felt so welcomed and at home. The initially planned four-day trip was extended by another four days due to the convenient and comfortable accommodation. Although the room facilities were a bit dated, they were impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean. Before checking out, we dined at the Chinese restaurant, and the dishes were delicious, authentically flavored, and the service was very attentive. The surrounding transportation is incredibly convenient, especially with Metro Line 10. However, the airport shuttle service had quite restrictive timings: drop-offs were only in the morning, and pick-ups only before 6 PM. This was the only minor drawback. Nevertheless, choosing Hua Gang Ya Ge truly enhanced our family's trip to Shanghai, and we would definitely consider staying here again for future travels.

subway: Line 2: Subway Exit 1 Line 15: Exit 7. It's a bit of a walk from the hotel, but it's quick and safe to walk late at night. front desk: If you can assist with parcel collection and takeout, the front desk staff will notify you. If you do not have a mainland phone number, the front desk will notify you via WeChat. This time I asked them to help send the package, and the service was very good! If you haven't checked in yet, you can send the package here in advance, tell the front desk, and pick up your package from the shelf when you check in. They make a pot of tea every day, and you can bring a thermos to fill it before going out, so you can drink it when you go out. Inside the room: The equipment is very complete, but the disadvantage is that there is no humidifier or air filter or clothes deodorizing spray. When I come back from eating in a restaurant, the clothes are very smelly and they never go away. People who are sensitive to smell can bring their own Housekeeping: Make the bed, replenish water, take off shoes, tissues, change garbage in the room and toilet every day, and change toilet floor mats every day (this is something that many hotels cannot do) The floor aunts will mop the floor every day, and the room will smell good when you go back at night. Other facilities: The gym is 24 hours a day, but I didn't use it, and I don't know about the sauna either. We arrived early that day and were allowed to check in early. Thank you very much. The facilities are actually very complete and there are no problems with allergies or pillows on the bed to sleep on. The only problem was that it was very noisy the night I checked in. I didn’t know where construction was going on, and the house would vibrate. From the construction at night to the morning, it was noisy all night long... Another small disadvantage is that the plug next to the bedside is old-fashioned and can only use USB. The plug in the kitchen is relatively strong. I'm 15cm tall, so the shower head in the bathroom can only be hung back up. It's awkward to wash my hair and apply shower gel. I wish I could have a shorter shower head hanging next to it so it won't spray onto my face. The toilet supplies are very fragrant, and I especially liked the pictures. I want to buy the same ones. If you want to cook your own vegetables, you can take Exit 2 of Line 2. There is a large supermarket there with many vegetables to choose from. The fruits in the underground supermarket at Exit 1 are not delicious. When I left, the front desk also gave me a small gift. The service here is really worth it! There are Bawang Tea Ji, Mixue, Starbucks, coffee shops, shopping malls, supermarkets, and Watsons nearby. It is relatively close to Hongqiao Airport, and it is also very convenient to go to Shanghai West Road Railway Station, and it is also very convenient to transfer to Suzhou!

During our stay at the hotel, we truly felt at home. A special commendation goes to staff member COCO; her professionalism and efficient service made our entire stay incredibly pleasant. From the warm welcome and guidance during check-in to the attentive arrangements at check-out, COCO consistently treated every guest with a smile and a strong sense of responsibility. Whether it was quickly resolving minor hiccups during the check-in process or proactively offering local travel recommendations, her approach was both professional and thoughtful, truly showcasing the hotel's high service standards.
