I specifically chose Shaanxi Business Hotel Shanghai for my business trip to Shanghai this time. As soon as I checked in, I was grateful for choosing the right location - Nanjing West Road Subway Station is just a 6-minute walk away, over 400 meters away. It's not difficult to walk with a suitcase, and several core stations such as Huaihai Middle Road and People's Square can be easily accessed by lines 1, 2, 12, and 13. There is no need to take detours to transfer to Hongqiao Station or Pudong Airport, which is too convenient for travelers in a hurry.
The first feeling when I pushed open the door was that it was spacious and bright. The decoration completed in 2019 did not leave the old hotel's sense of antiquity. After placing twin beds in a space of about 30 square meters, there was still enough activity area left. There was no obstruction by the window, and the afternoon sunlight directly covered half of the bed. The view was a continuous urban street view of Nanjing West Road, and even the silhouette of high-rise buildings in the distance could be seen clearly. The hygiene details are done very solidly, with a cleanliness rating of 4.6 points, which lives up to its reputation. There is no dust accumulation on the desktop or bathroom corners, and the spare parts are neatly arranged. Even the edges of the bathtub are polished to a shiny finish. After running for a day and returning to the room, the fatigue of taking a hot bath instantly dissipated.
The most surprising thing was the surrounding pedestrian circle. Putting down my luggage, I walked along Yan'an Middle Road to the east and arrived at Zhangyuan in about ten minutes. The old building of Shikumen and the newly opened trendy restaurant are next to each other. Along the way, I turned to Wujiang Road Food Street, where pan fried noodles, local noodles, and specialty snacks are all eye-catching. The hotel is just a short walk from the Shanghai Exhibition Center, and the next day's conference venue can be reached within a 10 minute walk, eliminating the need to leave half an hour early and get stuck on the road. If you want to wander further, you can walk slowly for more than 40 minutes to reach the Bund. Along the way, you can also pass by the Memorial Hall of the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Xingye Taikoo Hui, connecting the core attractions without taking a taxi.
The types of breakfast exceeded expectations. At 6:30, we can also catch the early flight in time to eat hot food. Bacon, freshly ground coffee, and plain Congee dishes are all available, so we don't have to get up early to find breakfast on the street. The Qin Yuexuan Chinese restaurant on the first floor also offers specialty Shaanxi style snacks, allowing you to taste authentic flavors without having to travel far. The front desk service was also very attentive. I requested a quiet room at the last minute, and the staff quickly adjusted it to a room type facing inward in the high area. The charging cable that was left behind when checking out was carefully collected and sent to the storage area by the cleaning lady. She even called me to remind me to come back and pick it up.
As a well-established four-star hotel in the Nanjing West Road commercial district, Shaanxi Business Hotel Shanghai does not have overly flashy internet celebrity designs, but has put the most important aspects of travel, such as location, hygiene, and service, into practice. It comes with a free parking lot and complete facilities such as foreign-related reception and foreign currency exchange. Whether it is for business trips or tourists who want to explore Jing'an in depth, staying here can provide a down-to-earth and worry free experience.Show more
