A propriedade — Next Station

Next Station is a functional, no-frills three-star hotel near Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station. The lobby is bright and clean, with a small seating area and a front desk that processes check-ins efficiently in English and Mandarin. It suits transit travellers catching a high-speed train or an early flight from Hongqiao Airport, less so tourists wanting a central location. The USP is convenience: a short covered walkway links the hotel to the station's metro and train concourses.

Crónicas de Shanghai

Shanghai grew from a 13th-century fishing village into China's largest city after the 1842 Treaty of Nanjing opened it to foreign trade. The Bund’s neoclassical and Art Deco buildings date from the 1920s–30s, built by European banks and trading houses. Across the Huangpu River, Pudong’s futuristic skyline – the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower – rose from farmland after Deng Xiaoping’s 1990 reforms. Today, the city is China’s financial hub, known for its mix of colonial architecture, hyper-modern shopping malls, and a food scene ranging from xiaolongbao to Michelin-starred restaurants.

Melhores meses

October and November: warm, dry autumn with daytime highs around 22°C, low humidity, and clear skies. Cherry blossom season in late March to early April is also pleasant, though the city gets busier.

Peak / Festival Surge

July and August are peak summer, with average highs of 34°C and frequent typhoon rain. The Chinese school summer break and the Shanghai International Music Fireworks Festival in October push hotel prices up 30-50%. Avoid July if you dislike oppressive humidity.

Orçamento da temporada

April and May offer mild weather, fewer crowds than spring festival, and hotel rates 20-30% lower than summer. September is also good, with cooling temps after typhoon season and the Shanghai Tourism Festival in mid-September.

Tempo e embalagem

Shanghai’s summer is a hot, wet greenhouse: humidity often exceeds 80%. Pack a lightweight, breathable rain jacket and quick-dry clothing – cotton or linen that dries overnight.

Livro City Briefing — Shanghai

  • Shanghai Metro Line 15 and the new Airport Link Line (connecting Hongqiao to Pudong) fully opened in 2024, cutting travel time between airports to about 40 minutes. Check station exits to avoid long walks.
  • The 2026 Shanghai International Film Festival runs June 14-23, boosting hotel occupancy near the Nanjing Road venue clusters. Book well in advance if attending.
  • Temperatures in late June/early July 2026 are forecast slightly above average, with frequent afternoon thundershowers. Hongqiao Station’s indoor connections make Next Station a sound choice for wet-day arrivals.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Next Station, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floors 5-7 with a rear-facing window (away from the main street). These floors avoid the lift lobby bustle on 2-3 and street noise from the front. The rear side overlooks a quieter courtyard.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms on floor 1 (directly above the lobby, noise from reception and delivery) and rooms at the front facing the main street on any floor — traffic noise from Shanghai's arterial roads is constant until late evening. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor (typically rooms ending in 01-04).

🪟

Best views

A rear-facing room offers a view of the cityblock's inner courtyard — brick rooftops, some greenery, and laundry lines. It's not scenic but feels calm. Front views give you the street: typical Shanghai avenue with plane trees, old buildings opposite, and constant motion.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 5-7, especially rear-facing. The building is mid-rise, so upper floors (8-12) are quieter from street noise but can catch wind noise from the roof.

🔊 Noise notes

Main street noise (traffic, buskers, passing horns) hits front-facing rooms from 7am to 10pm. There is a small service entrance at the side of the building, used for deliveries early morning (5-6am). The lift lobby is a meeting point for tour groups, creating chatter and door noise on floors 2-3.

Insider tips

1) Check in after 2pm to ensure a rear-facing room — ask at the desk specifically for a 'quiet room at the back'. 2) Avoid the breakfast buffet in the ground-floor dining room if you dislike crowds; instead grab coffee at the bakery two doors down on the street (opens 7am).

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

👕

Affordable high-street shopping is in the Nanjing Road pedestrian area, Qipu Road wholesale market, or chain stores like Uniqlo and H&M; negotiate at market stalls.

🎫
Cheapest way around

The cheapest way around is the Shanghai Metro (day pass 18 CNY unlimited rides); from the two airports (Pudong/Hongqiao), take the metro (line 2/10, 25-40 minutes, 3-7 CNY) or an airport bus (30 CNY) instead of taxis (100-200+ CNY).

💡
Money-saving tips

Drink tap water boiled or buy from convenience stores (2-3 CNY per bottle), not from hotel minibars. Eat at local eateries (小饭馆) away from tourist landmarks; mains are 30-50% cheaper. Use Alipay (linked to a foreign card) for discounts at supermarkets and chain cafes.
