iNestin Shanghai Apt Hongfeng Road Overview

First Impressions

Walking into iNestin Shanghai Apt Hongfeng Road, you immediately get the sense that this isn’t your typical hotel experience — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work. Located in the Jingqiao complex in Shanghai‘s Pudong district, this three-star property feels more like staying in a well-appointed residential building than a standard tourist hotel. The lobby is understated but clean, and the staff actually seem to remember your name after the first day, which is refreshing in a city this size.

The Apartment Experience

What you’re getting here is essentially an apartment setup rather than a traditional hotel room, and that makes all the difference for longer stays or if you just want some breathing space. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation, but actual cooking facilities where you can prepare meals if you’re tired of eating out every night. The living areas are surprisingly spacious for Shanghai standards, and you know what, having a separate bedroom and living space really does change how relaxed you feel after a long day exploring the city.

Location Perks

Here’s where this place really shines — the location gets a 9.0 rating from guests, and I can see why. Hongfeng Road puts you in a genuinely local neighborhood where you’ll see actual Shanghai residents going about their daily lives, not just tourists. There’s a wet market within walking distance where vendors sell the freshest produce, and honestly, watching the morning routine there is better than any cultural tour. The metro connections are solid too, though you’ll want to download a translation app for navigating the local bus routes (trust me on this one).

Practical Considerations

The building itself is part of a larger residential complex, which means you get amenities like parking if you’re brave enough to drive in Shanghai — though I’d stick with public transport. The apartments are well-maintained, and while the décor won’t win any design awards, everything functions properly and feels clean. Air conditioning works reliably (crucial during Shanghai summers), and the Wi-Fi is actually fast enough for video calls back home. One thing to note — this definitely feels more like a serviced apartment than a hotel, so don’t expect daily housekeeping or a concierge desk.

Why Guests Love It

Couples particularly seem to appreciate this place, and I think it’s because you get that “living in Shanghai” feeling without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness. The 8.2 overall rating reflects what you’d expect — solid, reliable accommodation that delivers on the basics while giving you space to actually unpack and settle in. It’s not glamorous, but there’s something appealing about having your own little corner of Pudong where you can cook breakfast, spread out your stuff, and feel less like a tourist passing through. For the price point and the authentic neighborhood experience, it actually offers pretty good value in a city where hotel costs can get ridiculous quickly.

• Mouy from Iceland – 12 July 2024 (9/10)

  Location is great, no far from Pudong airport (on Shanghai's scale), in an international neighbourhood and also the aparrment is facing the inner courtyard, which makes it quiet.
  The AC works well, the shower is good, we liked the bed, and seeing a washing machine in the bathroom was a relief after a few weeks of travelling.
  Communication with the place manager was easy, though we never met, and we used Alipay for paying (very convenient).
  Good value!
  
  What could be improved: The way up to the apartment is shabby and the common parts of the building not well maintained. However, it is quiet and safe.
