Check in was easy. This is a Chinese hotel so kind of hard to find. Entrance is in back, not on the street. Relatively close to the Metro station, McDonald's, KFC and a few other places to eat. Also a Family Mart on the corner. Wi-Fi is spotty and slow. Breakfast was just OK. Not a lot of food out even at 6:45 but probably better later. Even in December the room was too warm for me, no A/C but the windows open and I just left them open all the time. Check out also easy.

Horrible stay
The hotel said the room type we booked was not available and made us pay 200RMB for an upgrade. The wifi didn't work, the towels were soiled, and the bed frame was stained with dried s*men. Someone had spammed our room with flyers advertising "special services." This hotel is definitely not family friendly. Hotel management was extremely arrogant and didn't address our complaints.

Above average hotel
It was a pretty good stay. We liked the location. It's very close to the Subway Line 2. It was a little hard to find the hotel entrance door when you get out from the subway station. All and all it's a good hotel.

MOTEL not a Hotel
This is not a hotel. it is a motel. the lobby is smaller than my family room. the beds re harder than a rock. They squeak like as you are sleeping on a plywood board. The room was cold no heat. no one spoke English. I think most of the motels in USA have better rooms and service.

Good location/price, does not cater to foreigners
This hotel is not far from Hongqiao airport and reasonably priced. However, this hotel does not primarily cater to foreigners so do not expect them to speak much English. Parts of this hotel seem recently renovated and parts seem old and poorly maintained. For instance, the bathroom seemed renovated and the breakfast area was well managed. The hallways had a smokey smell and the bed was not too comfortable. It was very close to the subway No. 2 line and had decent internet.

Convenience and comfort
This highrise hotel located about 1-2 blockes from Line 2 in Shanghai was very convenient for our short stay in Shanghai. Line 2 allowed us access to both the downtown Bund area plus the airports (especially the Hongqaio airport) and the railroad terminal. There was also shopping and access to restaurants in the area. Even though we weren't in the downtown we still enjoyed the view from the window and we enjoyed the less hectic atmosphere of this neighborhood. If you do take the subway to terminal 1 at the Hongqaio airport and have only a one time pass remember to stay on the subway until it reaches the railway station stop. You can then transfer to line 10 to reach the airport.

Good Location & Nearby Sub-way
I was on a business trip in Shanghai in mid-Sept and has decided to extend my stay in Kingtown for another two days for the sightseeing with my Shanghai colleagues. Hotel room furniture looks old & tired and vanity top need to renovate seriously to give a better look. e.g. the drawer is not in good shape, giving way when try to open it. There is a kitchen cabinet with no cooking utensils for warming up food. Cooking stove is not in working condition. Sockets near the desk cannot be plug properly and need to connect the extended cable near the TV set to the desk. Overall review - this room no 1705 seriously need to renovate in order to give more comfort and attract more future tourist to stay in this hotel.

The Kingtown Hotel - Not a 4 star by any stretch
I have never had a more uncomfortable night in a hotel. The bed was nothing more than a box spring. I had to get up and sleep on the love seat to get any comfort. Also, the hotel clearly catered to prostitutes, with condoms in the room. I had asked for non-smoking, but the whole hotel smelled, and it permeated my room. I had booked 2 days. After that first night, I let them keep the other half of my money, and I checked in to the Courtyard Marriott. Don't stay at the Kingtown Hotel.

This is a remarkably convenient hotel, being one block from a subway station, with sparkling clean and generously sized rooms. The lobby is small and dark which might bother some people. The restaurant also seems dark, but the food was great. The single man traveling in our group kind of enjoyed the business cards left on room doors and late night knocks from business women, even though he didn't take advantage of those apparent offers.

extended stay
The hotel is quite convenient for work, it is a short walk to the number 2 subway line and there are many shops and restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood with good selection and reasonable prices. Also you can go out even as a foreigner and not be assaulted by people wanting to sell you knock-off watches and hand-bags. The hotel is clean, especially by China standards, though the maid staff is attentive, I have stayed there many times and recommend it highly.

二号線の駅からは廃墟のような地下通路を通って隣接。ウォシュレット完備^^。水は1日2本。ハウスキーピングも毎日。外貨両替もフロントに有り便利です。 フロントはビジネスホテル並なのと、洗面台が小さいのがネック。 不満も無く拠点として考えれば十分です。

大変便利な立地でしたが、廊下、エレベーターが薄暗い。窓や棚の下、カウンター上が汚い。洗面周りの合板が剥がれていた。シャワーはお湯がちゃんと出たが、いろんな方向に水が落ちるため、体にあたらない。。日本のビジネスホテルの環境を求める方には合わないホテルです。

いつも世話になっているホテルです。日本人には便利です。
チェックインも遅く,翌朝5時半のタクシーのお願いをしましたが,快く引き受けてくれました。翌朝も5時半にフロントに行くと,タクシーが来ている旨も伝えて頂き,チェックアウト手続きの準備も出来ていて,スムーズに出発することが出来ました。驚くほど親切にして頂きました。地下鉄の駅も近いですし,日本食も歩いて10分ほどの距離に多くあります。出張に使うのには非常に便利です。(混んでしまうと使いにくくなってしまいますが。)フロントではもちろん英語が通じます。なお,部屋のテレビは日本語のチャンネルはありません。最近はほとんどの部屋にウォシュレットがあります。ときどき,洗濯機が置いてある部屋もあります。

部屋の空調が良くない。広い部屋だったのでずっと寒かった。 また朝食を当日朝頼みフロントで朝食代を支払ったが、朝食場所で更に朝食代を請求された。何度もフロントに確認するように言ったが志払わせられた。結局朝食途中に返金されたが、非常に気分を害する対応であった。
