Cloud Expo Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Cloud Expo Apartment feels like discovering a well-kept secret in Shanghai’s bustling Pudong district. This three-star property sits tucked away on Banquan Road, and honestly, the name makes perfect sense once you’re inside — there’s something almost ethereal about the clean lines and modern design. I mean, it’s not trying to be flashy, but there’s a thoughtful simplicity that actually works really well for travelers who want comfort without the fuss.

Location & Getting Around

You know what surprised me most? How perfectly positioned this place is for exploring Pudong. The location feedback speaks for itself — couples are rating it 9.4, and I can see why. You’re close enough to the financial district to feel connected to Shanghai’s energy, but far enough from the tourist crowds to actually breathe. The parking situation is refreshingly straightforward too — having on-site spots available in Shanghai is honestly a bit of a miracle. Getting to the Bund or Century Park is pretty manageable from here, and the metro connections aren’t terrible either.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment setup is where this place really shines. Each unit feels more like a temporary home than a hotel room, which makes longer stays actually pleasant instead of cramped. The kitchen facilities are surprisingly well-equipped — I’m talking proper appliances, not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. Storage space is generous too, something you don’t always get in Shanghai accommodations. The bathrooms are clean and functional, though don’t expect anything too fancy (remember, this is a three-star property, not a resort).

Daily Life & Amenities

What I really appreciated was how the place handles the practical stuff. The Wi-Fi actually works consistently, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong. There’s no on-site restaurant, but honestly, with Pudong’s incredible food scene right outside your door, that’s not really a problem. The neighborhood has everything from hole-in-the-wall noodle shops to upscale dining, so you’re covered whether you want to cook in your apartment or explore local flavors.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.2 location rating from recent guests tells the real story here — this isn’t just about having a place to sleep. It’s about finding that sweet spot between accessibility and authenticity in a city that can feel overwhelming. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the quieter vibe compared to hotels in the heart of Lujiazui, while still being close enough to everything that matters. The apartment-style setup gives you flexibility to live a bit more naturally, whether you’re in Shanghai for business or taking your time exploring the city. It’s not going to wow you with fancy amenities, but it delivers exactly what it promises — a solid, well-located base for your Shanghai adventure.

Exploring Shanghai layers shikumen courtyards, jazz-age lobbies, and twilight ferries past the Oriental Pearl.

Reviews of Cloud Expo Apartment

  • Olga from Russia – 9 May 2025 (8/10)

    Great apartment, opportunity to communicate with locals. The hotel staff was very friendly, fulfilled all additional requests.

    What could be improved: Everything was great

  • Kevin from Australia – 20 December 2024 (8/10)

    Good location, nice and spacious

  • Louis from United States – 29 September 2024 (7/10)

    Could contact the owner directly through email, wechat, or local phone number. AC worked great even in the summer. Only a 5 minute walk to metro line 6.

    What could be improved: Had cooking facilities, but no cookware. Mattress was too firm for me.

  • Luz from Spain – 28 August 2024 (8/10)

    Great location and excellent service. They’ve helped us very efficiently. Highly recommended.

  • Laurie from United Kingdom – 9 July 2024 (8/10)

    The staff who managed the accommodation were extremely helpful. I would have been lost without their help.
    Quick to help with any request.

    What could be improved: Kitchen had no utensils so couldn't cook. Need to provide a few basic items.

  • Keith from United Kingdom – 15 June 2024 (9/10)

    Great appartment. Near a metro stop and shopping center. The bed was really comfortable.

    What could be improved: You have to make sure you have Internet so that the host can contact you to show you where to go once you arrive at the metro station. You will have to download a VPN but also download AliPay that's how everyone pays for things through the app. You enter your card details and then use the app to pay for taxies, restaurants.
    Also feel should take the money through booking.com would make it a lot easier than paying in cash or AliPay.

  • Enkhjargal from Mongolia – 26 May 2024 (7/10)

    What could be improved: Bathroom and kitchen were dirty.

  • Keith from United Kingdom – 21 May 2024 (8/10)

    Room was ideal for us and a great price. It was near the metro stop line 6 Gaoqing Road.
    Supermarket 5min walk and a Starbucks.
    Really easy to get into the center.
    Room was clean

    What could be improved: Finding the appartment was a bit of an issue here is the location on Google maps. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xykfJZhXqp4nFrTu5

    Do not get a taxi from anyone asking if you want a taxi at the airport just go straight down to the taxi rank and wait in the office queue. Make sure you have cash or Ali Pay.

    . You need to contact the person who runs the appartment and they will meet you. Make sure you phone is working.
    Also make sure to download Ali Pay because not many places take cash or Card. You download your card onto Ali Pay and you can then pay for everything. Food, hotels, taxies.

  • Nur from Indonesia – 26 April 2024 (9/10)

  • Kerrie from Malaysia – 15 April 2024 (8/10)

Text them for help they try their best to help us. There is a small kitchen in the room, a washing machine too. Metro station is 2block down the road not far.

    What could be improved: The bathroom and kitchen is a bit old can be improve. The surrounding is very quiet and not much shops around.
