Kingswell Hotel Tongji

“Good Location and Service”

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights in April 2018. My room was 1016, with a good view towards the direction of Shanghai tower. The room was big and clean.

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights in April 2018. My room was 1016, with a good view towards the direction of Shanghai tower. The room was big and clean. Both check-in and check-out were fast and easy. The Taxi ride from Putong Airport to the Hotel is around 45 mins. It is located beside TongJi University and is just 2 mins walk to TongJi Station. There are many food outlets and restaurants nearby. We had our dinner at the Xi'an restaurant behind the hotel. The food and services were good. If you want to do a some shopping or walking at night, you can take a subway, 2 stations towards north to Wujiaochang station, or few stations towards south to Nanjing East Road or Yu Yuan. Do note there aren’t any Currency Exchange nearby. Those banks near the Hotel do not accept foreign currency exchange. The nearest Bank of China is around 1.5 km away.

I had an international science workshop at Tongji University, and they put up the speakers here. It's very close to the Tongji University metro station, and convenient to a number of restaurants. The rooms are generous and comfortable (especially on the Executive Floor where they put me!) and they have both good amenities and an unusual approach to conservation (toiletries are all in sustainable packaging, which I'd never seen before...). The hotel bar is typically (for China) expensive, so I wouldn't want to have beers there, though it would be comfortable; and the coffee shop where they serve breakfast and lunch offers a very generous buffet service for both. My only substantive gripe with the place is a workout space that is rather hot and not terribly well-maintained. Another point to be aware of is that, like much of China, the air conditioning is on the weak side - so much so for my top-floor room that the cleaning staff stuck a keycard in the turn-everything-on slot in the room to keep the AC running so the room would stay clement (there was a heatwave in Shanghai during my visit!). Otherwise (and at other times of the year) I'd for sure stay here again.

“Great place”

A few stops from downtown and the Bund, this is right next to Tongi university. Clean, well appointed with nice staff some of whom speak good English. Good breakfast. Internet can be a bit slow but overall a good introduction to this astonishing, sometimes overwhelming city.

“Comfortable with good location.”

Has different level of grades, and as far as I can tell it does not make a lot of difference, except for the height you are up, and we are not talking really high, like the towers anyway. Has a breakfast that i quite good, and a cheh that makes ok omlets if you want to go that way. Lots of busine... more

Has different level of grades, and as far as I can tell it does not make a lot of difference, except for the height you are up, and we are not talking really high, like the towers anyway. Has a breakfast that i quite good, and a cheh that makes ok omlets if you want to go that way. Lots of business folk seem to stay here- prob because location is good. Wireless was quite slow, rest levels of comfort food enough.
