Novotel Shanghai Qingpu Excellence

Novotel Shanghai Qingpu Excellence Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Novotel Shanghai Qingpu Excellence, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical business hotel — there’s something more refined here. The lobby feels spacious without being overwhelming, and honestly, the staff’s attention to detail becomes apparent right from check-in. I mean, you’re looking at a five-star property that actually delivers on that promise, which isn’t always a given these days. The whole place has this modern luxury vibe that doesn’t feel stuffy or pretentious.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about the Qingpu District location — you’re far enough from central Shanghai to escape the constant hustle, but you’re not stranded in the middle of nowhere either. The hotel sits on Qinghewan Road, and couples seem to really appreciate this spot (they rate it 8.5, which tells you something). There’s parking available for free, which is honestly a huge relief if you’re driving around Shanghai. You know what’s nice? The area feels more residential and peaceful, perfect if you want to experience a different side of the city.

The Room Experience

The room itself strikes that perfect balance between luxury and comfort — you get high-quality linens and thoughtful amenities without feeling like you’re in a museum. The views vary depending on which side you’re on, but even the less spectacular ones aren’t disappointing. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything stays, even with other guests around. The bathrooms are well-appointed (marble touches, good water pressure), and the beds are genuinely comfortable — not just hotel-marketing comfortable. Many guests find themselves returning specifically for this level of attention to detail and comfort.

Dining & Amenities

Breakfast here is actually worth getting up for, which I can’t say about every hotel. They do an Asian buffet spread that goes beyond the usual suspects — you’ll find both local Shanghai specialties and international options that don’t feel like afterthoughts. The restaurant staff knows what they’re doing, and the morning setup feels relaxed rather than rushed. Throughout the property, you’ll notice those little luxury touches that make the experience feel more premium — quality coffee, fresh flowers, that sort of thing. The attention to these details elevates the entire stay.

Why Guests Love It

What sets this Novotel apart is how it manages to feel both upscale and approachable. You’re getting genuine five-star service and amenities, but without the intimidation factor that sometimes comes with luxury hotels. The Qingpu location works particularly well for couples looking for a more intimate Shanghai experience — away from the tourist crowds but still connected to the city. Plus, that free parking situation is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning to explore the broader Shanghai area by car. This property truly understands what modern travelers expect from a premium stay.

  Breakfast and the food court were great, the room were cleaned, and had goosed ventilation.
  
  What could be improved: For the price, each room doesn't have a drinking water bottle, nor have refreshments to hydrate yourself.
  Some of the furniture was old and stained and needed to be cleaned more frequently.
  Many counter staff doesn't speak English, which is hard for foreigners who want to stay.
