Pod Inn (Shanghai Pudong Airport)

It was the worst experience ever! First, they lie about their shuttle schedule. It was supposed to be 24 hours a day but turned out it’s not true. Also, airport drop off provided very limited time slots even though the booking said it was supposed to be 24 hours also. Second, they don’t inform that their shuttle doesn’t drop you off in front of the hotel doors. Instead, they dropped me off in the middle of a dark road and the bus driver waved down the stairs! How am I supposed to bring two luggages downstairs and then up the next morning??? Third, the staff was so rude! They don’t speak English at all and when you want to use a translator to ask questions, they look at you with annoyance and try to finish the ‘conversation’ asap. Also, the hotel itself is terrible. I do understand I can’t expect something nice for that money but please, don’t lie! The photos don’t match the reality. Everything is dirty, I couldn’t even take a shower. Everything smells like cigarettes (I chose a non-smoking room). People smoke inside the halls, near the elevator, literally EVERYWHERE. I hate it! I really don’t understand how come the hotel has so many 5-star reviews. Did you guys get paid?😅 I was relying on the reviews, such a shame. ❌there was no wifi in the room. I honestly don’t think anyone would enjoy that type of stay😅 Don’t make the same mistake as me!

location quite ok, just that abit dark, enough for short staying, shuttle bus are provided for airport pick up and drop off

If you plan to visit Shanghai this hotel is far from the main attractions and almost in the country side. However it is clean.

Please avoid staying here. Such a bad location and smelly, tiny, and dirty rooms. The staff isn't cooperative and will make faces when you present a translation to make them understand you. Totally not recommended. You'll end up ordering DiDi instead of their airport service because of the location and your luggage.

Location was 15-30 mins from airport. Take note that the last bus from the hotel is at 1340H; later than that, you'll need to book a taxi with Didi app. Staff was kind enough to assign me a different room when I requested for a room change. The room could be cleaned better. It was a bit dusty. But for the price, it was still more than what I paid for.

Late night hard to find the hotel. Not recommended but if you have no choice to save money then…
