Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Qingpu New City by IHG Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Qingpu New City by IHG, you immediately get that “this is going to work out just fine” feeling. It’s one of those four-star places that doesn’t try too hard but gets all the basics absolutely right — clean lines, efficient check-in, and staff who actually seem happy to see you. The lobby has this modern, uncluttered vibe that honestly feels refreshing after navigating Shanghai’s bustling streets.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I really appreciate about this spot in Qingpu District — you’re far enough from the city center chaos to actually breathe, but not so remote that you feel stranded. The hotel sits on Yinggang East Road, and I mean, couples absolutely love it here (they rate the location 9.0, which says something). There’s free private parking right at the hotel, which is honestly a godsend if you’re planning to explore the area by car. You know what’s nice? You can actually see green spaces from here, something that’s not exactly common in Shanghai.

The Room Experience

The room itself hits that sweet spot between functional and comfortable. Everything works — the air conditioning responds quickly, the WiFi doesn’t drop every five minutes, and the bed is firm enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you wrestled with it all night. The windows are actually decent-sized, so you get proper natural light during the day. I particularly liked how they’ve managed to fit everything you need without making the space feel cramped — there’s a proper work desk if you need to catch up on emails, and enough outlets that you’re not playing musical chairs with your chargers.

Breakfast & Dining

The buffet breakfast is — well, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a Holiday Inn Express, but done well. They’ve got the usual mix of Western and Chinese options, and honestly, the congee here is better than it has any right to be. The coffee’s decent (not amazing, but it’ll wake you up), and they keep everything well-stocked even during busy morning rushes. You won’t find a fancy restaurant here, but there are plenty of local dining options within walking distance if you want to venture out for dinner.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it understands what business travelers and couples actually want — reliability without the fuss. The location gives you that perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility, especially if you’re visiting for business in the Qingpu area or using it as a base to explore the quieter side of Shanghai. The staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay smooth, and little touches like the efficient housekeeping and consistent hot water make all the difference. It’s not going to wow you with flashy amenities, but it’ll deliver exactly what it promises, and sometimes that’s precisely what you need.

  What could be improved: Some guests smoked in the corridor which was unpleasant

• Maura from Ireland – 14 May 2023 (5/10)

  The bed was comfortable and it was near a mall for necessary bits. It was also next to the metro stop which is why we booked it for getting into the city. The staff were friendly and did try to communicate with us but sadly our Chinese is terrible.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast is all Chinese options. The hotel is very dark, no views. Looking at an internal courtyard. Construction going on all around but it was okay at night. Lots of noise in the morning. Nothing to do there. Staff don't speak any English. Not worth the money to be honest but we needed a comfortable bed while transitioning between locations and that it did provide.

• Samir from Algeria – 12 May 2023 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Breakfast more made for Chinese
