Liyi Hotel Shanghai Railway Station

Had to change the room hotel cause the room given to us initially was hot and has a smoke smell. It’s also my first time to know that they do not have a cold aircon in the room when it’s winter and advise us to open the window. Aircon is to use the heater instead as the aircon is a centralized aircon. First room - despite having the windows open, it was quite stuffy We shifted our room to a better placement where there were air coming in the room so the room is cooler than the previous. Doesn’t have good ventilation but at least the room is cleaner. Breakfast selection is decent with lots of varieties.

Hotel was great in terms of service - staff were very friendly and helpful. They even had free late night snacks / congee. Breakfast was also very good with a personalized noodle station among other things. Only negative would be that there is a smoke smell throughout the building despite it being a smoke free hotel.

Stay in Nov 2024. Booked 2 room. Room 1313 got issue. End up took room 1003 and 1005. Room 1313, the door covering the shower glass door cannot close(please see picture) . No issue Room 1003. Cannot flush toilet paper, end up toilet bowl choke. After that was solved by hotel staff. Nov was cold in Shanghai. So only heater or hot air available. But if you need cold air, can ask hotel to open the outer window for you. It is near high speed railway station and metro station. But the elevator for the metro is inside another hotel (very strange). Anyway if you stroller, might be an issue to walk up and down staircase to metro station. Everywhere people smoking in station and spitting phlegm. You can find food around the hotel. Funny thing is call liyi hotel, English name is country inn and suites by Radisson. But under Radisson website cannot find, only can find in trip.com. it seems to be under jinjiang group hotel instead.

Firstly this hotel signage is Country Inn & Suites by Raddison. If you are taking the Metro, please use Exit 1 or Exit 3 to get to the hotel. At the hotel lobby, free use of coffee machine is given to all guests, so as hot tea and biscuit. Very helpful during winter as it is very cold. As for the hotel itself, it definitely is worthy of 4 star rating. Very clean hotel and room except for their male toilet urinals on ground floor, the water flow is bad. As for the rooms, the cheaper room type has see thru shower area and toilet. So if you are not comfortable, please get the more expensive type of room. Buffet breakfast is sufficient and solid for their price range. They do provide free simple supper too from 9pm to 11pm daily consist of 4 or 5 items. It was ok. Hotel is surrounded by many eateries, minimart. Subway entrance is within walking distance so does the shanghai railway station. There is this one particular female staff which has been very helpful. Her name is Ms Ling Yi Juan. Thank you for being so kind & helpful. Overalp, this is a good hotel choice in Shanghai.

super convenient location as it’s directly facing the main road, theres a bus stop in-front of the hotel + its a few mins walk away from shanghai railway station, though we only used didi during our trip in shanghai. its about a 45 mins taxi ride to pudong international airport & disney, 10 mins away from people’s square, yu garden & nanjing area / the bund. room was so spacious for 3 person. service was great, smooth check in. we didn’t opt for room service & asked the front desk for clean towels, when we reached our room the staff was already there with the clean towels. will definitely stay here again when i go back to shanghai in the future :)

The hotel location is great, the service is excellent and staffs are very friendly and helpful, best recommended hotel to stay and will definitely choose to stay again for my next visit in Shanghai
