Hotels in Pudong New International Expo Center/World Expo Area, Shanghai

The views outside this hotel are absolutely stunning, beyond words. Just a few steps away, you can walk to the bridge and enjoy the river scenery, especially at night – it's so beautiful you won't want to go back to your room. The room I was assigned was also very romantic, with a sloped attic window. I loved being able to lie in bed and look out the window; it's a feeling I really appreciate. The breakfast was better than some other hotels I've stayed at. While it was still pretty standard Western and Asian fare, it tasted good and was more than enough. The front desk thoughtfully provided a coffee machine and an ice maker, so you can grab a coffee or ice whenever you want, which was really convenient. My only minor issue with the room was that it was a bit humid and had a slight musty smell. However, if you're in Shanghai for a business trip and need to stay for an extended period, I actually think this place is quite suitable because the wardrobe in the room is very spacious and can easily accommodate a lot of belongings. Another small issue was that the hotel hallways were quite warm. This was especially noticeable this season; every time I left my room, the walk to the elevator felt a bit stuffy and hot. But for me, this wasn't a severe enough problem to warrant a low rating for the hotel; it's an acceptable minor drawback. One thing I found really convenient was the hotel's dedicated pick-up area. For instance, if you order takeout, get a delivery, or a rider brings something, it's placed in a designated area. You can go and check it yourself, making the whole process very easy. To be honest, this place feels more like a hybrid between a hotel and a serviced apartment. The facilities are well-suited for long-term stays, and for business trips or extended periods in Shanghai, I think it's much more convenient than a typical hotel. But I have to say it again: the location is fantastic. Seriously, the location is absolutely gorgeous. For this area, I think it's one of the best value-for-money options I've seen so far. Taking an evening stroll, the surrounding scenery is truly breathtaking. The staff are also all lovely and friendly. The only thing is they sometimes seem quite busy, so online replies can be slow, and you might have to wait a while. However, once they do reply or you communicate with them in person, you'll find everyone is very pleasant and willing to help. So, overall, my impression of this hotel is very positive. It's not without its flaws, but considering the location, price, environment, and convenience for long-term stays, I think these minor issues are perfectly acceptable. My room didn't have a microwave or an individual washing machine, but that wasn't a big deal. The kitchen staff were very kind and always happily helped me heat up food. The hotel also has a public laundry room with irons available, so even for longer stays, it doesn't feel inconvenient. What I loved most was the evening ambiance. Stepping out of the hotel at night, the riverside and surrounding scenery are truly captivating. The whole neighborhood is also very quiet, not noisy at all, making walks incredibly pleasant. If you're looking for a beautiful, quiet place that's suitable for longer stays, I think this place is definitely worth considering.

This hotel has a great location, right next to a shopping mall. The lobby is spacious, and the room was clean and comfortable. I had a wonderful stay. The front desk staff were very warm and welcoming. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I come to Shanghai.

This hotel has a wonderful wabi-sabi aesthetic that makes it feel more like a secluded resort than being right in the middle of Shanghai. The breakfast is a major highlight—the menu changes daily and offers a great variety of delicious options. The only minor drawback is that the staff are stretched a bit thin and struggle with English communication. However, if you don't mind a little language barrier, it's a unique and tranquil stay. Highly recommended for a relaxing business trip!

The hotel's main advantage is its proximity to the Maglev train station, making it a convenient 10-minute ride to and from Pudong Airport. Right next to the station, there are also several subway lines and a shopping mall with plenty of restaurants, so you'll never run out of dining options. The hotel room wasn't too old and was well-maintained. The toiletries and the large bed were good. Breakfast was plentiful and available after 7 AM. However, there are a few things that need improvement. The unsightly mirror in the room really spoiled the whole ambiance, and the color of the shower floor tiles was frankly a bit creepy and unnerving. These should definitely be replaced.

Service: Excellent, every staff member we encountered was wonderful. They even went out of their way to give snacks to our baby and helped us resolve a parking fee issue. Environment: Very good, the room was clean and came with complimentary baby toiletries. The hotel is next to a mall and has an outdoor play area. Children's Welcome Pack: Our baby absolutely loved it (it was his first time staying at this type of hotel). Admission to the Kids' Explorer Park for 1 adult and 1 child during stay: We're very grateful that the hotel managed to arrange free entry for two adults and one child. However, the park is more suitable for children aged five or six, and less so for those under three.

As a running enthusiast from Chongqing, I specifically came to Shanghai's Century Park, a renowned running spot, to experience its outer loop track. The track at Century Park is indeed perfect and comfortable, offering an excellent running experience. The hotel's location is superb, very close to Century Park and also conveniently near the Maglev station. The hotel room was clean and tidy with complete facilities. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the breakfast was plentiful, especially the dry-tossed noodles which were delicious. Overall, I was quite satisfied with this stay.

I visited Shanghai during the National Day holiday and stayed at the Hyatt Centric Shanghai Expo. My overall experience exceeded expectations! The hotel's design is inspired by a 'mansion secret garden,' blending rich Nanyang (Southeast Asian) flair with art deco aesthetics. Every step reveals a new scenic spot, and the public areas are full of artistic flair, with carefully arranged artworks everywhere. The vintage carvings and exquisite patterns create an incredible atmosphere, making it perfect for photos. The hotel's location is truly superb. It's directly connected to the Expo Source shopping mall, so you can go downstairs and shop right away. Shopping, dining, bubble tea, and snacks are all available, without being exposed to wind or sun. It's incredibly convenient for buying things or finding a restaurant. Situated in the core area of Expo Park, you can walk to the China Art Palace (the red 'Crown of the East'), Mercedes-Benz Arena, Expo Culture Park, and Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. For leisure, you can even stroll directly to the Huangpu River bank, gaze at the Lujiazui 'three-piece set' and the Oriental Pearl Tower, and enjoy the Pujiang skyline. Metro Lines 8 and 13 are nearby, making transportation easy. The World Expo Museum and Twin Peaks Greenhouse Garden are also in the vicinity. During the National Day holiday, visiting the exhibition halls, walking by the river, or attending concerts is very convenient, saving a lot of travel time. The hotel hardware is brand new, and the guest rooms are spacious. The soft furnishings continue the Nanyang retro style with meticulous details. The bedding is soft and comfortable, the amenities are high-quality, and the sound insulation is good, ensuring a peaceful rest even during the holiday rush. The restaurant, named Xiaonanyang, features a fusion of Nanyang flavors and local Shanghai cuisine. The breakfast selection is incredibly rich; I highly recommend the freshly made beef noodles. The beef is braised to be incredibly tender and flavorful, the broth is aromatic, and the noodles are perfectly springy. The hotel's 'Ray of Light Gallery' and rooftop space are quite unique, worth exploring in your free time to immerse yourself in the artistic and cultural atmosphere. The staff provided attentive and thoughtful service, and check-in was efficient, maintaining patience despite the National Day crowds. The Hyatt Centric brand's non-standardized design is very distinctive, avoiding the cookie-cutter feel. It combines Nanyang charm, artistic style, and an excellent location, connected to the Expo Source mall, with many iconic attractions nearby. It's highly recommended whether for family trips or friends exploring Shanghai together. Staying here during the holiday allowed me to experience the bustling magic city while also finding a sense of tranquility in a beautifully designed hotel. It was a delightful surprise for this National Day trip to Shanghai.

The location is great, very close to the subway station. The hotel is new, and the staff are very professional. It's also pretty quiet inside. The only downside is the slightly small parking lot. They have self-service laundry and a gym.

The hotel's location is super convenient, and getting a taxi from Shanghai South was a breeze. Karen at the front desk was very professional; check-in was smooth and easy, and her information about local transportation was spot-on. The room was exceptionally clean and quiet. There are plenty of dining options both within the hotel and nearby. Overall, I was very satisfied with my business trip here.

I was thrilled to experience the Castle Suite at Star River Bay Hotel – 220 square meters of pure luxury! The service at this upscale hotel is truly outstanding. The front desk staff were gentle and patient, making check-in swift and hassle-free. Whenever I had questions, the staff were always patient and proactive in helping with my luggage. The attention to detail was incredibly heartwarming, and the overall service was thoughtful and impeccable, making me feel right at home.
