Great location to commute to PVG
The location of the hotel is preferable because we need to transit to Pudong international airport. It is very close to the Maglev station, which takes <9mins to get to the airport. The condition of the hotel is fair, however, it is acceptable because of its value. The front desk was extremely helpful to help me arrange package delivery (delivery service picked up my package from hotel).

Budget hotel near the maglev and metro stations
This is a no frills hotel near the Century Park and Longyang (maglev) metro stations. The staff were nice, let me check in early. The room is basic,good air conditioning, cable TV with 1 english channel. I would stay here again due to the location, so easy to get around the city and take the maglev to Pudong airport.

Beware of the Room Key Deposit
It was surprising that the hotel staff demanded a ¥300 deposit for the room card the costs at most ¥10. It is an outrageously high deposit that means that a significant amount of funds cannot be spent during the stay in Shanghai. The room was simple and clean except for the annoying odour of smoking from previous occupants. The hotel has a convenient location for those using the maglev train from the airport. It's only a 10 minute walk from the station to the hotel.

Convenient to subway and maglev
This is a typical motel. The room is no frills but had everything I needed for one night. I flew into Shanghai Hongqiao airport and left the next day from Pudong airport, so I needed a place close to the subway that served both airports. This hotel is a very short walk from the Longyang Road subway stop and also the Maglev train to Pudong airport. It's in a residential neighborhood, not right downtown or near any sights, but the subway being right there makes getting to other parts of Shanghai easy.

Clean hotel close enough to what I needed.
This was a pretty basic hotel but nonetheless good value for money, clean and reasonably comfortable. I (and others) couldn't get the wifi to work and there were minor challenges when checking in but all staff were friendly and the bed comfortable. Some interesting local places nearby. I needed to be close enough to the Maglev or the subway to ensure a hassle free journey to the airport the next day and yet still be within the city and this place worked for me. And with a Yang's Dumplings place 10 minutes up the road, what more could you ask for?!!

AVOID
Been a guest of this hotel 5 times, and each time was a little bit worse than the previous, now i must say i wont stay there anymore, used to be good for quick stay in shanghai due to proximity to maglev live and metro, but room quality and cleanliness is now a deal breaker, not only the bathroom but the hole 3rd floor was basic a open sewer and the constant offering of prostitution panflets does not make things better.

Walking distance (5-7mins) to subway/ maglev stn
Walking distance (5-10 mins) to subway (line 2) and maglev station. No eateries around the hotel. Nearest dining spot is the Long Yang Plaza (which is the subway station). Room is clean, everything is working (air condition, hot shower, wifi). Staffs could serve with a smile but I don't blame them because they have to work in shifts and it's a tough job. Overall, happy with my stay.

Fine hotel with unhelpful staff.
Hotel staff didn't really know what was going on. The hotel is called the "Jin Jiang Maglev Station hotel" yet the staff didn't know how to get to the maglev by walking... Otherwise just fine, rooms and bathrooms what you would expect from a budget Chinese hotel. Clean and comfortable, no frills.

convenient, but smoky
Requested a non smoking room, but probably those don't exist.The beds were comfortable.Unfortunately when we arrived, a couple of business cards featuring scantily clad women had been slipped under the door. That said, the location was convenient, just hopped on the maglev at the airport and zoomed to the longyang station. we were planning to walk from the longyang station, but wound up overpaying for a taxi Because we got a little turned around in the station and our 1 year old was tired. We wound up putting two chairs together to make a little bed for our 4 year old. It was OK for one night.

okay for sleep don't book for a night of romance
Hotel was good for a one night stay. I can reiterate what has been previously reported. Convenient ( about 2 blocks) from termination of maglev station. Plumbing is hit and miss. Lots of noise from street. Hotel staff were friendly but really struggled with English. Floors in room are lino tiles or similar, bed was about a small double for the two of us. Breakfast was reasonable and interesting traditional foods like bean porridge and eggs boiled in tea. Bottom line for a short stay and the right price I would consider staying again. Next trip we will try to book closer to the bund and touristy areas.

Two day survival in Pudong
Probably the only closest motel within walking distance of the Maglev Station. Avoid all the Taxi drivers at the station who all drive private taxi. They will tell you yor hotel is too far to walk and will charge you 300 rmb which is 50 USD and if you want a receipt it will cost you additional 100rmb. I made the mistake of getting suckered. Hey the Jijiang Inn is about 2 1/2 blocks from the Maglev station. Hotel had a sewer smell and I asked for another room and they put me on the third floor. The problem is there are no p-trap under the sink. So you will need to plug drain and fill with water to prevent sewer odor coming into the room. WiFi works on an off, signal seems best in lobby. The breakfast was okay and there is no eating places close to this hotel. There one restaurant further up from the hotel on the main road but they don,t speak a word of English. I speak a little mandarin but they told me to speak pudongwa. I was told by my tour guide in Beijing, Shanghai dialect is a little different from Beijing dialect. I managed to get some food at a 7-11 type store very reasonable prices.

Decent, convenient
Fairly convenient location maybe a walk of 5-10 minutes from the Longyang Road subway station on line 2/the Maglev station. Rooms were very bare but that's all I needed for one night in Shanghai before my flight. Minor annoyances: maintenance man coming in and checking on the fire alarm in the middle of my stay, the prostitute cards shoved under the door (though they made for good souvenirs), and a 6 inch centipede looking thing crawling over the door (which then subsequently mysteriously disappeared...terrifying). Overall a good choice if you are looking for convenience to the airport. I was planning on taking the Maglev but ended up taking a cab to the airport and it took about 30 minutes.

Good hotel for a short airport stay
Good hotel with fairly basic rooms, but clean, well organized. Check in out very smooth with no fuss. Breakfast was 18RMB extra when I stayed (although I thought they said 80) quite good, usual Chinese fair. Close to Maglev station, 5mins walk. Also close to Longyang Road underground station both have fast easy routes to Pudong Airport. Good basic, clean, convenient hotel. Recommended.

OK for the price
The hotel was ok for the price paid if it was in the US. For a hotel in China I expected more at this rate (everything there is cheaper)l looks like it needs some work and there were a few issues with a leaky sink which was promptly repaired. The room was cleaned daily but the A/C only worked when your room card was in the slot so it was always hot when you returned and it took several hours to get the humidity levels down make the room comfortable again. When I arrived there was a very small bar of soap on the counter the size of a mint which was NOT replenished daily and there was a body wash dispenser in the shower which was empty by the second day which also was never replenished. My biggest complaint was that the staff (and I mean lots of people not just 1 or 2) constantly talked loudly in the hallways. China gets up very early, like 6am, I was there for leisure so I wasn't getting up till 10am. It was a constant barrage of noise in the hallway including people yelling down the hall (I checked and it was mostly staff not guests). Also, be sure to keep your deposit receipt! They tried to claim I didn't pay it on arrival and wanted me to pay it when I left? Made no sense at all since it would be returned at checkout. I showed my receipt and got my deposit back.

just one night, then the airport
This hotel was only for the convenience of getting to the airport easily, which it did the job just fine. There was nothing to complain about, yet nothing to rave about. Ummmm.....a lot of "massage" locations nearby. Do be aware that the maglev entrance is not the same as the subway entrance, you must walk past the subway area in order to get to the maglev.

Convenient, Comfortable, Cheap
Good hotel for the price. Walking distance to the Maglev Train Station or the corresponding subway station. Note: THE LOCATION OF THE HOTEL IS NOWHERE NEAR WHERE IT SHOWS ON THE MAP PROVIDED BY HOTELS.COM. The only thing I didn't like was the hustlers who kept trying to shove business cards of ladies of the night under the door after 10 pm. That sets off the door alarm and I had to get up several times to reset the alarm. Hopefully they will have this resolved for my next visit. If you are comfortable with Shanghai transit, this is a great hotel for sleeping.

Good hotel, average location
The hotel itself was perfectly okay and good value for money and the staff were friendly and helpful despite communication issues. The room was cold and although there was no heating in the room an extra blanket was provided when asked for. The only real downside to this hotel is the location; the only reason I chose it was to be near the Expo Centre, unfortunately it transpired to be the wrong Expo Centre! Despite being within walking distance to two metro stations, if you're looking for something thats near to the attractions then I would suggest something closer to (or on the west side of) the river. If you want something close to the airport and within walking distance to the Expo Centre then this is perfect.

Convenient to Expo center and to transportation
The room was not large but it is what I booked. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was not fancy but it was comfortable. The location is excellent for access to the Exhibition center; just a 10 minute walk. There is a large grocery store nearby. Lines 2 and 7 are nearby. My only difficulty was some neighbour guests who had to leave their door open, smoke and talk in shouting voices. On the second night of this I called to the desk and someone went to speak with the noisy neighbours. End of problem. I strongly suggest to the hotel that they really designate some areas of the hotel as no smoking.

浦東空港からリニアモーターカーに乗って終点で下車。歩いて7分~8分。 駅からホテルに向かうまでの歩道は凸凹していて、スーツケースを引きづって歩くのはしんどい。 ホテル周辺にはコンビニのようなお店が2軒あて、飲み物など買うには便利。 チェックイン時にデポジット100元必要です。クレジットカード可。
