Starway Hotels, Xuhui hotels

"Great place to stay the night before heading to Podong airport. The area around the hotel is rural and has some nice small restaurants just down the street. The rooms look like new and the corridors are large and nicely decorated. Just note that our room had a glass walled bathroom which does not give you much privacy!"

"It provides a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel, but it charges Y15 to take you from the hotel to the airport. Somehow I and some other people got the impression that the shuttle is free. If you are coming from Shanghai, you should go to the airport and call the hotel for the shuttle. The hotel is quite a distance from the nearest subway station. An alternative is to stay at a hotel near a subway station."
