“Decent hotel, no longer a decent location”

Reviewed 12 August 2010

Hotel is OK, but it's location is no longer any good. Just 100m from Terminal 1/Hongqiao, it is very inconvenient unless you're flying on Spring Airlines (most flights leave from Terminal 2). To get to Term 2, you have to take a bus that leaves at most every 15 minutes (around a 10 minute trip).

Location-wise, it'd be much better just to get any one of the number of hotels on the Green Line that drops you off at the terminal 2.

The hotel was OK. I didn't eat there, so no idea about that. Staff was helpful. Other than location, it was a nice hotel.

“Just OK”

Reviewed 7 March 2010

The Argyle is ok for an overnight and very convenient for Hongqiao Airport. The rooms are reasonably well appointed but the a/c is very hit and miss with just a fan control, no temp selector and a system that is turned on and off at will by the hotel. The Chinese only know rock hard mattresses and this hotel is no exception....you will probably be more comfortable sleeping on the floor as at least the carpet has a little cushioning. At the end of my weeks stay I had a rash around my thighs and legs from the bed, which took a week to clear once I returned home. A prerequisite for any airport hotel must surely be good sound proofing - The Argyle has the most substandard window installations I have ever seen in a hotel, providing absolutely no sound insulation whatsoever. Food was mediocre at best and the western restaurant was closed most evenings I was there. Unless you really need to be at the airport I would suggest staying at one of the quality hotels in town and taking a cheap 15 min taxi ride (£4)
