2. Key Highlights

Guests frequently commend the hotel's design, which incorporates elements from airport terminals in its lobby, creating a cool and interactive space with areas for playing and chilling. The friendly and helpful staff, along with good value for money, are also key highlights. Its strategic location near major transportation hubs is a significant advantage for many.

3. Room Quality

The rooms are described as minimalist yet functional, offering a clean, comfortable, and well-designed environment. Guests particularly appreciate the luxurious beds, comfortable pillows, and ideal linen. Each of the 157-158 rooms is equipped with modern conveniences such as 55-inch flat-screen TVs, bedside USB ports, self-stocked mini-fridges, electronic safety boxes, and walk-in rain showers. Space-saving furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows are also notable features.

4. Dining Experience

Moxy Shanghai Hongqiao NECC features an on-site restaurant and a Moxy bar, serving buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The breakfast is often described as Chinese/Asian style and sufficient, especially for those in transit. For other Moxy hotels in mainland China, guests can enjoy a "pimp their noodles" concept, allowing for customized instant noodle dishes. The Moxy bar serves as a communal hub where guests can check in, socialize, and enjoy drinks and small plates.

5. Service & Staff

The staff at Moxy Shanghai Hongqiao NECC consistently receives high praise for being very helpful, polite, and friendly. Guests appreciate the attentive service, with staff readily assisting with issues and a quick-response front desk. Robot service is also available, adding a modern touch to hospitality.

6. Location & Accessibility

The hotel is strategically located in the Hongqiao CBD Xujing Area, Qingpu District, offering convenient access to the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC). It's relatively close to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (approximately a 15-minute drive or 6.2 miles) and Hongqiao Railway Station (about 10.08 km away), making it ideal for business travelers or those in transit. The Xuying Road subway station is about 2.41 km away. However, a recurring point of feedback is that the immediate vicinity of the hotel can feel "off-beat," with a lack of nearby shops for basic items, often necessitating taxi use for errands.

7. Value & Pricing

Moxy Shanghai Hongqiao NECC is frequently cited for offering excellent "value for money" and being a "budget-friendly" option in Shanghai. The average room price is approximately $70, which is noted to be lower than the average hotel room price in Shanghai, typically around $100. Prices can start as low as $42-$44.15 per night.

8. Common Complaints

While generally well-received, some recurring criticisms include:

  • Isolated Location: The primary complaint is the hotel's "off-beat" location, with a lack of convenient shops or amenities within walking distance, often requiring guests to use taxis for small purchases.
  • Breakfast Variety: Some guests have suggested that the breakfast could offer more variety or ensure more timely replenishment of items.
  • Room Amenities: One guest noted thin slippers, feeling they did not meet the standard expected of a selected brand. Another mentioned the room's foldable table but the absence of a dedicated office desk might be inconvenient for some business travelers.
  • Cleanliness Issues: A minor complaint mentioned was an instance of black grit found on bedding, although this was an isolated report.

However, the area surrounding the hote...

The soundproofing is poor (it's one of the worst soundproofing hotels I...

And another plus - a very pleasant aroma at the entrance to the hotel. There i...

This is a reasonably priced, convenient hotel near Hongqiao Airport. The beds are a little hard, but otherwise there are no inconveniences. However, the drinks sold on the first floor are not cold, so if you're expecting a cold beer, you'll be disappointed.
