Ramada Plaza Shanghai Pudong Airport - A journey starts at the PVG Airport

Though my stay was brief, this hotel ticked all the right boxes for a layover rest. The location is unbeatable — just five minutes from the airport, which gave me peace of mind ahead of an early flight. There’s even a shuttle service, which I sadly missed by just 40 minutes. Impatient as I was, I hopped into a taxi that turned out to be an impromptu mini-adventure… and an unexpectedly expensive one. Lesson learned: good things come to those who wait. Check-in was quick and efficient — no lengthy explanations, no unnecessary fuss. I was in my room before I even had time to ask questions. While the staff could’ve smiled just a touch more, I did appreciate the smoothness and speed. Sometimes, that’s all you need. The room itself was a pleasant surprise — spacious, with two beds all to myself. It felt almost decadent, choosing which one to sleep on. The bathroom was large, clean, and stocked with slippers and a bathrobe, which instantly added a sense of comfort. A kettle, tea, Wi-Fi, and a mini bar (though unused, alas) — everything you’d want for a short stay. I spent only a couple of hours in the room, but it felt like a small oasis. Another thoughtful touch — plenty of lighting options and switches throughout the room. I imagine it would be perfect for two guests with different lighting preferences. Admittedly, a few switches remained a mystery to me, but isn’t that part of the charm? In the morning, I finally caught the shuttle (after almost boarding the wrong bus — nearly became part of a tour group by accident!). But all in all, this hotel delivered exactly what I needed: a place to rest, recharge, and continue my journey.

The hotel is located relatively close to the airport. It had a free shuttle bus going from T1 and T2 every 30 minutes, even during the night. The hotel and room had a nice interior and were spacious, with a modern bathroom. The bed was comfortable. Checking in and out was very quick. The staff were friendly and spoke English.

I stay here frequently as a transit hotel. It is very convenient and easy for this purpose. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Really good for kids if you have a long layover in PVG as they have a big play area for kids to play.

The location is great, the room is comfortable. Unfortunately the instructions to the shuttle were not clear...I should have asked for some precisions...as "first floor" probably means "ground floor" and I missed the 23h20 shuttle and had to take a cab, which was very expensive for a five minute ride because I did not want to wait one hour. Probably good to have this confirmed up ahead. English is OK at the desk, but not on the phone.

I've stayed here multiple times due to having to take a flight early on the following day on multiple occasions. It's a good hotel, the beds are comfortable and the room is quite spacious and you can barely hear any plane taking off or landing.
