This time, I came to Shanghai to connect with projects around the Bund. The three-day itinerary was all covered by Home Inn Plus (Shanghai Bund Jinling East Road store). As a frequent traveler in the core business district of Shanghai, being able to find a hotel that balances cost-effectiveness and commuting efficiency in a valuable location like Nanjing East Road and the Bund exceeded my expectations.
The hotel is located at 531 Jinling East Road, Huangpu District. Turn left and walk for 1 minute to get to Exit 5 of the Grand World Station on Line 8 and Line 14. You don't have to take a detour with a suitcase full of project materials. Take Line 14 for 3 stops to get to Lujiazui, and walk for up to 20 minutes to the office buildings along the Bund, completely avoiding the morning rush hour congestion on the ground level of Nanjing East Road. Even if you have to catch the 9 o'clock morning meeting, you can still leave at 8:30 in time. It only takes 20 minutes to take the subway to Shanghai Railway Station, so there is no need to panic and leave early to catch the high-speed train. For travelers with tight schedules, the saved commuting time is too precious.
The business room type I booked is compact yet not cramped. The height of the independent writing desk is just suitable for long-term office work, and multiple sets of charging interfaces are reserved on the desktop. Even the HDMI cable for high-definition screen mirroring is prepared in advance, so there is no need to bring an extra cable. If there is a temporary online meeting, the computer screen can be directly projected onto the TV without having to sit in front of the small screen and stare at the PPT. The sound insulation in the room is done very well, even if it is the main road of Jinling East Road downstairs, you can hardly hear the sound of traffic after closing the windows. Even if you rush to the plan until late at night, you will not be disturbed by the outside world. The bedding is moderately soft and hard, and even after staying up for two nights, you did not wake up with a sore waist. The hygiene details of the whole house are well controlled, with clean desktop corners and bathroom areas, completely free from the common hygiene blind spots in old city hotels.
The hotel's business facilities have completely hit the pain point of travelers: the 24-hour front desk can print contracts at any time without having to go out to find a business printing shop. The buffet breakfast of 38 yuan per person will be served until 10 o'clock. It's too late to go out and look for food in the morning. You can quickly get hot Congee, steamed stuffed buns and freshly brewed coffee downstairs, without wasting time in line on the street. The 24-hour self-service laundry room comes with a drying function, so you can easily handle all the laundry brought during business trips in half a day without having to save it up and take it home. There is no need to go downstairs to pick up takeout. The robot will directly deliver the food to the door of the room. If you are hungry at night, you don't have to run downstairs specifically.
The surrounding facilities are also particularly convenient. It takes only 3 minutes to walk to Yunnan South Road Food Street. Within a few hundred meters, there are chain convenience stores, business printing shops, and coffee shops. If there is a temporary shortage of file bags and additional information needs to be printed, it can be solved by walking two steps downstairs. If you want to entertain your partners to our local cuisine, there are several local restaurants that have been open for over a decade within a 10 minute walk, so you don't have to take a taxi to find a restaurant.
As a high cost-effective business hotel in the core area of the Bund, Home Inn Plus (Shanghai Bund Jinling East Road store) does not have flashy internet celebrity facilities, and all details are designed around the actual needs of travelers. From efficient commuting, office facilities to convenient late night services, every aspect exudes practical and thoughtful care. In the future, when I come to Shanghai's Bund area for docking projects, this will definitely be my priority travel destination.Show more
