JI Hotel (Shanghai Train Station Subway Station Tianmu West Road)

I probably won't be staying here again, mainly because the restaurant on the third floor has been converted into a karaoke bar. The hotel itself is fine, especially its proximity to Shanghai Station, which is super convenient. The rooms are large and bright, honestly not quite what you'd expect from a Ji Hotel. The high-floor views are excellent, and I'd still recommend it to everyone!

The room is generally okay and suitable for business trips.

Not far from the train station (if you have luggage, you'll need to look for an elevator to cross the skybridge), and very convenient for transport. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was very comfortable. I was given an inner-facing room, which was very quiet.

The bedding in the room felt like it hadn't been changed between guests; the sheets and duvet covers were damp and clammy. Immediately after lying down, I developed a skin allergy. I called to request new sheets, but it took over half an hour for staff to arrive, despite multiple reminders. They only offered fruit and snacks, failing to address the hygiene issue promptly. Additionally, the shower water temperature fluctuated wildly, indicating a facility malfunction. These issues severely impacted my stay, and I hope the hotel improves its hygiene standards and room service response time.

1. This is an old hotel that's been renovated, and the air conditioning unit is from last century. Aside from the basic amenities like water, slippers, and toiletries, it has absolutely nothing in common with a Hanting (JI Hotel) chain. The mattress is too soft, the pillows are too soft, the toilet is small and old, and the floor is cracked. 2. The window faces directly onto the street, and the soundproofing is incredibly poor. Even with three layers of windows, it's useless. The outermost window is jammed shut, and the two inner windows are so old and gappy they don't close properly. At 2 AM, the noise from passing cars outside was unbearable. 3. The staff act like NPCs; they didn't tell me if breakfast was included. My room came with one breakfast, but no one informed me about it until I checked out. 4. Heavy trucks were unloading goods in the middle of the night, blocking the entire parking lot. 5. There was a huge queue for the laundry room, and they ran out of detergent and laundry bags. I had to call twice to chase them, and they were still very slow to replenish. This JI Hotel was absolutely terrible. I will never book a Huazhu Group hotel again; their values are clearly problematic.

The room was very clean and tidy, with no strange smells. The hotel's surrounding facilities are excellent, and the front desk lady was very enthusiastic and helpful. The parking lot is huge, and best of all, it's free! Definitely a thumbs up!
