Maixinge Boutique Hotel (Shanghai Pudong Airport) Reviews

Positive: As many reviews have noted, the hotel is conveniently close to Shanghai Pudong Airport, making it an ideal choice for an overnight stay before catching an early flight. The room is clean and compact, with all the essentials for a short stay. The hotel thoughtfully provides earplugs since it is near the flight path. However, as a deep sleeper, I wasn’t bothered by the airplane noise. A great feature is the free shuttle service to and from the airport. Shuttles depart from the hotel every half hour on the hour and pick up passengers from the airport every hour on the hour, though this schedule may vary depending on requests. Negative: Requesting the shuttle bus can only be done by calling the reception. As a foreigner who had only purchased a data-only SIM card, I found this challenging, and I imagine it would be even harder for others facing language barriers. I strongly suggest that the hotel allows customers to request the shuttle via text or email and provides clear instructions, including photos, for the pick-up location. In the meantime, foreigners might consider visiting the airport’s help desk to request assistance in calling the reception and arranging the shuttle service. I’m not sure if the pick-up and drop-off location vary, but in my case, the location was Terminal 2, Parking 2, H9 Meeting Point. The shuttle bus is a bit old and bumpy, but considering the short distance and the price paid, I would say it is reasonable.
