Suju Service Apartment (Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone Zhoupu Wanda)

Excellent apartment, location is so convenient, 2 min to metro, mall right next to it and a street full of street food shops. Clean and nice even though the building seems a bit old. Only takes a bit of time to get to the city, check in and check out was so fast.

Location is near subway. The bed is big. Room has everything that needs.

This is a nice apartment unit. The room is spacious. They have washing machine and kitchen which are very convenient for longer stays. The customer service is available via WeChat which makes me easy to communicate although I can’t speak Chinese. The environment (outside my room) sometimes is noisy but it’s not a significant problem for me. Although it is not located in the city center, it is very close to Metro Station which makes it easy to commute. All in all, I enjoyed my stay here.

This hotel is much beyond our expectation for this price. The room is big and clean. Washing machine and hanger are in the room. Air condition can become heater too. Projector is huge but all movie must be paid. Windows can be opened. The hotel in in the same building as Wanda Plaza which is ver convenient for everything. The street food is also at the back of hotel. You can find anything in the market. Traveling From airport to hotel is super easy. Didi will drop you in from of the hotel and you just walk to the corner of Wanda plaza. Suju hotel is labeled at the door in english. Its super closed to Zhoupu station exit 2. That is awesome. The path in the building may be dirty but the room is clean. I dont like only one thing that I can smell smoke in the room during the night. That hurt my nose.

This place was honestly so good! Everything was super clean, it smelled amazing, and I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. The room was huge, and they even gave us a free upgrade to the projector room, which totally made our day! It‘s a little far from the city, but the metro station is literally a 2-minute walk, and it gets you downtown really fast. Just put on some music, and the ride doesn’t even feel that long. Plus, the apartment is right next to a mall with tons of food places and stores, so it’s super convenient. The whole area had such a nice vibe, too. The service was amazing! They connected us on WeChat, and anytime we needed something, we’d just text them, and they replied super fast. Honestly, this was such a good stay. I’d 100% come back!

Pros: 1. **Excellent location** – The building is steps away from Zhōupú Subway Station (Line 14). Exiting the hotel lobby brings you directly to the subway elevator, making it super convenient for travelers with baggage. The mall adjacent to the hotel also has a subway entrance. 2. **Adjacent mall** – A large shopping mall is meters away from the hotel lobby. The 3rd floor offers a solid selection of local cuisine restaurants, and there’s a well-stocked supermarket on the B1 level (basement) with various adjacent shops too. 3. **Spacious, clean rooms** – The room was generously sized, and the bathroom was OK. We wiped the floors by ourselves and there was no dirt on the floor. Great. Notice: the bathroom sink tube has to be sealed with some hermetic or something else because it's literally loose and so the smell gets into the bathroom from sewerage. 5 minutes work. 4. **Great amenities** – The room includes a microwave, a washing machine with a proper drying function (not just a spin cycle), a spacious fridge, a sofa with a coffee table, a work desk and chair, wardrobes, and other essentials. 5. **Flexible housekeeping** – Cleaning services are provided upon request, no matter how short or long your stay. 6. **Thoughtful touches** – A wireless charger on the bedside table was a nice surprise! 7. **Keyless entry** – No physical key cards to lose or share; access is via a digital system. 8. **Practical bathroom feature** – A towel rack for drying towels. 9. **Comfortable bedding** – Two types of pillows provided for different preferences. 10. **Hygienic flooring** – No dusty carpets – rooms feature easy-to-clean stone floors instead. Cons (mostly building-related, not the hotel itself): 1. **Mixed-use building** – The property feels more like a serviced apartment complex than a traditional hotel. Some floors (like the 12th where we lived) were poorly maintained, though higher floors (e.g., 24th) resembled typical Chinese apartment-style accommodations (but still looked very old and very "tired"). 2. **Elevator maintenance** – While six elevators are available, they could use more frequent cleaning by building management. 3. **Unusable kitchenette** – Rooms include gas stoves but lack cookware or utensils, making the feature impractical for short stays. (Might be useful for month-long stays, though.) 4. **Entertainment limitations** – The room’s projector and large screen only offer Chinese streaming content with no international options. Access requires a local subscription – my friends lucked out with some content, but I couldn’t get it to work. A minor gripe, but worth noting.
