There are several FX Hotels in Shanghai. This review is for the one on subway line 4 on Xietu rd. This friendly and clean hotel is located directly across from exit 4 of the Shanghai Stadium station. Most of the front desk The staff speaks reasonably good English. They are helpful and friendly. This is a perfect spot for the business traveler or the family traveling on a shoestring. At about $50USD, it’s hard to beat.
The room
pros-clean and tidy. Includes a desk and a small closet. It’s relatively quiet at night. Comfy bed and pillows. Nice glass enclosed shower with decent water pressure.
Cons- the room is small but perfect for one or two. There’s no dresser to put clothes in or even a stand to set your suitcase on. I couldn’t get the tv to work but, in fairness, I didn’t ask for help.
Location- I found the location directly across from a pretty great shopping mall in which the subway is also housed very convenient. The mall has a many restaurants for every taste as well as a McDonald’s. There’s also a phamacy and grocery store there. You can change money around the corner from the hotel at the friendly Shanghai bank.
All in all, was very pleased.
