Fondney Hotel Shanghai Hongqiao NECC

Not within walking to any subway station or eateries but within a 10 mins drive to the Hongqiao Railway station. Quiet serene environment.

Lovely hotel with very tasteful and attractive ‘20s Shanghai decor and vibe. Amazing room facilities with chilled fruit at check in. Location a little far from metro station but fine service and attractive interiors.

We stayed here last day of our China Trip. Hotel is very close to Shanghai hongqiao train station and AirPort. Hotel is new and very nice. Rooms very clean and silient.breakfast was so good and delicious foods.

The location was very good. The internet is not accessible for those that don’t have china sim number.

The hotel is lovely with vintage glamour style and some touches of Old Shanghai. The lobby and rooms are stylish with lots of furniture. The location is very convenient for going to the airport or railway station. I was here just one night at the end of a long trip so I could be close to the railway station. If you order delivery, there is a cute robot that delivers it to your door as long as it can fit inside the robot’s cabinet. Very convenient! There is a big pool I didn’t get a chance to use but it really looked great, I regret not taking a dip in the morning. The breakfast left a lot to be desired for western options. Just toast and hard boiled eggs, some sausage links typical of Chinese style western breakfast. A couple cereal options and some pastries and cake. However there was a noodle station and some dumplings, etc that were pretty good. If you’re accustomed to Chinese breakfast it wasn’t bad, a step up from 7/11. Also, for me, the bed was way too hard, and it squeaked when adjusting position at night. I woke up with a sore back. My main disappointment was the lack of bellhop and concierge. I was ending a long trip and had a lot of luggage I had to carry up a few steps, since the driveway where taxis stop is not directly in front of the lobby door.

Very nice and specious room, good swimming pool! Staff - very little English. Didn’t go out of the hotel, so have no comment about the location. Good for relaxation and cooling down on hot days!
