This time, I took my family back from Shanghai Pudong Airport and specifically chose to stay at Shanghai JOYFUL YARD Hotel (Shanghai Pudong Airport Store) for two nights. Originally, I only booked a room for a location close to the airport, but after staying, I realized that the transportation convenience and surrounding facilities of this hotel completely exceeded my expectations for airport accommodation. Whether it was catching a flight, visiting Disneyland, or shopping, I was able to arrange my itinerary very smoothly.
Starting from landing at Pudong Airport, there is no need to worry about the entire journey. The hotel provides free scheduled airport transfers every 24 hours. After picking up your luggage, you can make a phone call and the shuttle bus will arrive at the terminal in less than 20 minutes. It will take about 20 minutes to reach the hotel directly, without having to drag your luggage around the airport. If you catch an early flight, you don't have to book a high priced ride hailing service near the airport. You can register the shuttle bus schedule at the front desk in advance and be delivered to the airport on time the next day. The time is steady, and even the anxiety of missing the flight is reduced by half.
The hotel's free parking policy is particularly friendly to self driving tourists. Guests staying at the hotel can park for 48 hours for free. If you plan to drive to the surrounding area after landing and catch a flight after returning, you don't have to worry about high parking fees. Parking in the hotel is safe and worry free.
The most surprising thing is its radiation range, which is completely different from the traditional airport hotel's "no village in front, no hotel behind" state:
The drive to Disneyland is only 20 minutes, and the hotel provides a free shuttle bus at a designated time every day. You don't have to check the subway yourself for transfers, and you don't have to be unable to get a taxi at the entrance of the scenic area. You can take a nap and leisurely pass by, avoiding the rush hour influx of visitors.
It's only a 10 minute drive to the outlet in the small town of Florence. After browsing the brand discount store, you can carry big and small bags and return to the hotel without much trouble. Put down your things and leave lightly, and the shopping experience is fully satisfied.
Within a half-hour drive, there are also attractions such as a wildlife park, Sanjia Port Seaside Resort, and Chuansha Ancient Town. Even if there is half a day to a day of free time during a transfer, there is no need to worry about having nowhere to go and not being trapped in a hotel to pass the time.
Within a few hundred meters' walk of the hotel, there are convenience stores, local home style restaurants, and specialty snack shops available. You don't have to rely on takeout to make a living every now and then. You can take a walk outside at night and enjoy authentic local cuisine and late night barbecue. If you don't want to run far, the complex public area in the hotel lobby has a coffee bar and a leisure area. Order a drink and sit for a while, and the fatigue of the journey will quickly dissipate.
I used to feel like I couldn't do anything except catch a flight when staying at hotels around the airport. However, this time when I stayed at Shanghai JOYFUL YARD Hotel (Shanghai Pudong Airport Store), I realized that by choosing the right place to stay, I could fully utilize the time between transfers without having to endure in the terminal building. Whether you are a business traveler rushing to catch a flight or a family planning to visit Disneyland, the transportation and surrounding facilities here can minimize the hassle of travel.Show more
