We stayed in this hotel while touring Shanghai last month. The room is very basic and small and there were no drawers for clothings. Also very small bathroom. I read about the smell from one of the earlier review but did not expect it to permeate from the hallway into our room. We went into the restaurant in the adjacent... More

I have been visiting Shanghai for work since 2006...never stayed at this hotel. One of our clients is in the vicinity and recommended it....so I am here. - RMB 180 cab ride from Pudong airport - Rooms are small. - No wi-fi in rooms but internet works well (ethernet cord provided). - The breakfast is nice - usual and customary...

I have to admit I read a few comments here about the smell, but since most of them were from last year I thought the problem was fixed. It's not, and this is an issue. At least 12th floor still smells like gas, according to the staff the whole building has this smell. It is a shame that the management... More

We found the location to be pretty convenient. We arrived at Putong airport and it is only one line to Zhong Shan Park station. However, not a big fan of the metro during peak hours! Had to walk a big walkway underground and once up, its just around the corner. Its only a few stations away from the main districts... More

I stayed at this hotel 3 times during a two week period in China. The location is great with easy access to the metro & all shopping conveniences. The staff were all very happy & helpful, particularly the wait staff. The downstairs cafe/bar area is modern with a pool table, wii & computers with an excellent value for money menu.... More

Modern hotel in a decent location next to exit 5 of Zhongshan Park Metro station and opposite Zhongshan Park. It has the usual conveniences in all rooms (including a safe) but no computer - so bring you laptop if you are staying a few days. Prices start at around 550 RMB for the basic room, which is a bit high... More

We stayed there for 3 nights. Location is great. Saff were helpful and friendly. Room was clean and everything was in order (or seemed to be). But that smell on every floor! I hope they're gonna do something about it soon. One evening, blackout! But it only happened to us! Hotel, shops next door were just fine. I was about... More

Penta Hotel is just next the Metro Station. Department Store, pharmacies, restaurants are just stone throw. The front desk staff are very nice and helpful. The room is clean and newly renovated. However, the swimming pool and gym is shared with New World Hotel with charges.

Was at Penta from 7 July to 10 July 2011. It's around 1 hour drive from Pudong airport for around RMB200, and generally cab drivers don't know the place, so have the address with you everywhere you go in Shanghai (get hotel namecard). Exit arrival hall and the taxi stand at Pudong airport has a service counter that will look... More
