Have given my review in the title of this comment .All the things other people said on the review section are true and helped a lot .Want to add my part as a first time visitor to China . Got a small , comfortable room which was clean ,had AC ,an electric kettle ,desk and lamp ,power socket that worked for Indian mobile chargers too, and good wifi connection . At the reception ,few could talk English -when that didn't work ,the translator app in mobile helped .Suggest getting Google translate or itranslate app .Download the language packs so that it works offline also .Thing to note-you should have a VPN for all Google's applications to work . Initially they take few RMB as deposit which will be returned when you checkout .Even though I paid complete payment online (using MMT app),they still wanted the deposit . Proximity to the metro station and world expo centre is a plus .And just adjacent to the Inn ,there is a small mart (a store ) which was open even after 11pm (not sure if that was 24 hr mart ) Had a conference to attend at Shanghai expo centre ,shibo avenue which 1.5 km away from the Jinjiang Inn Shanghai Expo Licheng Road .one can walk through the Riverside mall also which runs to the same length underground -from yaohuo Rd metro exit1/4 takes to mall.To get to jinjiang in,you need to take exit 3, turn left when you are out ,walk till the traffic signal ,turn left ,walk for 2 min ,take left into licheng road .You will find the Jinjiang Inn Shanghai Expo Licheng Road on right side next to a mart .When using Google maps (you must have VPN),suggest taking the main roads only and not the lanes .I reached late night around 12.Initially i took a small lane as showed by google maps ,but that led me into a apartment complex ,I couldn't go through other gate .couldn't get help from other people because of language barrier .Managed to come out the same way I went in ,and followed the main road .got to the Jinjiang Inn Shanghai Expo Licheng Road in 5 min .writing this to tell how safe place is . Thanks to another reviewer whose comment helped me to get there from Pudong airport . From Pudong aiport ,one can take maglev train which goes till Longyang road ,then walk to other side to go to metro -take line 7 - get down at Yaohuo road which is 6th stop from Longyang road.other option is to take line 2 from Pudong airport metro ,get down at Longyang road and change to line 7.This is cheaper one but takes 1.5 hr approx. I will end here .will be happy to answer any questions to this comment .To summarize ,this Jinjiang Inn Shanghai Expo Licheng Road ,Shanghai metro and wonderful people there helped me to have a pleasant and wonderful trip "on a budget ".
