Home Inn Plus (Shanghai Bund Jinling East Road store)

I always take this hotel. I brought my parents this time to sleep in this area

This hotel is one of the best hotel I book in Shanghai. Room is very clean. Good location, just few minutes walk to subway. Also, the reception staffs are friendly and helpful.

I’ve come to this hotel quite a few times over the past few years and overall, it does the job. Front desk staff are pleasant enough, rooms are clean, and it’s a great location near a subway station. It should be known, however, that apparently some of the rooms are Dragonball Z themed. After three years and maybe ten stays at this hotel, I had not come across this fact until I booked the day before my stay and Trip warned me it was the “last room” as I was booking. Boy, howdy were my partner and I surprised when we opened the door and found the whole room (luckily excluding the bathroom) plastered in giant pictures of DBZ characters. As I am a right side of the bed kind of lady, I had the honor of this giant picture of Freiza to wake up to. It’s not exactly a deal breaker, but it would have been nice to know that in advance. Again, one time out of ten isn’t bad, I just think a little warning from the front desk or Trip when booking would have been nice. If I were a ten year old boy, this would have 100% made my life.
