Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central Review 2026: A One-Night Stay

Here's my review of Shanghai from this summer!

My Shanghai itinerary was

Shanghai - Xuzhou - Shanghai,

so my accommodation for the first night in Shanghai was the one I posted about last time,

Grand Hyatt Shanghai.

⬇️⬇️⬇️Grand Hyatt Shanghai Previous Stay Review⬇️⬇️⬇️

For my last night's accommodation,

I chose "Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central."

After comparing several hotels in Shanghai,

I selected this one based on its location and the hotel brand.

Since it wasn't a long trip,

I primarily focused on whether the room was clean, the bed was comfortable,

and if the location was convenient for getting around.

To cut to the chase, it was a pretty good hotel for a one-night stay.

If coming from Hanzhong Road Station (汉中路站)

Approx. 3-5 minutes walk to the hotel.

Approx. 10-15 minutes walk to the hotel.

If you have luggage, a taxi ride is about 5 minutes.

Upon arriving at the hotel and stepping inside,

the overall atmosphere was clean and calm.

It has that distinctive business hotel feel of Courtyard by Marriott,

so it's not overly luxurious or

like a high-end resort,

but that makes it feel more relaxed for a one-night stay during a trip.

The hotel interior also felt generally well-maintained and clean,

and I didn't experience any particular inconveniences during check-in.

This time, it was truly a brief stay before moving on,

so I didn't spend much time at the hotel,

but oh, how I didn't want to leave! Haha.

🛏️ Premier Deluxe Queen Room

The room I booked this time was the

"Premier Deluxe Queen Room."

While most Chinese hotels are like this,

the first thing I noticed upon opening the door was

how spacious the room was! Haha.

Since it was a standard double room,

I thought, considering Japanese hotels,

"even for a business hotel,

wouldn't it be a bit small?"

But it was spacious! Haha, the sheer size of China, I guess! Haha.

It was very spacious for laying out my luggage and organizing my belongings,

and there was plenty of room to move around inside the room.

Most importantly, the room was generally clean,

so I had a good first impression.

---

🛌 The Bed, Because It's Important

One of the most important things in a hotel is the bed,

and personally, I was very pleased.

Being a Marriott brand, it certainly met expectations.

I was so tired from traveling from Xuzhou,

I practically collapsed onto the bed as soon as I entered the hotel! Haha.

The bed was wonderfully soft and comfortable.

Since I only stayed for one night this time,

rather than enjoying various hotel amenities,

I used it primarily for comfortable rest after my travels,

and in that regard, it was perfectly satisfying.

The bedding was neatly arranged,

and the overall room condition was good.

---

🪑 Inside the Room

Beyond the bed, there was a space to sit and relax,

or organize luggage,

and the room itself is neatly designed.

The overall interior wasn't so much modern and sleek,

as it was clean and practical.

Personally, when traveling, I prefer a hotel that's neatly organized like this

rather than one that's overly extravagant,

so I really liked it.

Especially for a one-night stay, since you're not spending much time in the hotel,

a clean room condition is perfectly sufficient, I think.

---

🚿 Bathroom

The bathroom was also spacious and clean.

The sink and shower area were well organized,

and for a one-night stay,

there were no particular inconveniences.

The water pressure was excellent,

and although I brought a shower filter,

I was too lazy to use it here,

but my skin and hair were fine, haha!

Personally, when choosing a hotel,

I prioritize bathroom cleanliness,

and this one was spotless without any major concerns.

---

🧴 Amenities

Basically, everything needed for a hotel stay was provided,

so I experienced no inconvenience at all.

I tend not to pack essential travel items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs separately,

so amenities are important to me,

and I had a comfortable stay for one night without any issues.

---

🌃 View from the room

Actually, it was the day Typhoon "Dolphin" hit,

so it was raining heavily outside.

I stayed in the accommodation instead of going out,

and the view of Shanghai from the room was quite atmospheric.

Shanghai offers plenty to see during the day,

but the city's atmosphere completely transforms at night.

So, coming back to the hotel and relaxing while looking out the window

doesn't seem like a bad idea at all.

As a city with many high-rise buildings, the view from the room

truly felt like Shanghai.

---

🔇 Room Noise?

During my one-night stay, while relaxing in the room,

I didn't experience any particularly disturbing noise.

Sometimes when traveling, noise from adjacent rooms or the hallway

can be a nuisance in hotels,

but I rested comfortably without any significant disturbances.

Of course, this might vary depending on the room's location or other guests,

but it was quiet during my stay.

Overall Review

​

⭐ Courtyard Shanghai Central One-Night Stay: Overall Review

Based on my recent stay, I found:

✔️ The room was generally clean.

✔️ It wasn't too cramped for a one-night stay.

✔️ The bed was comfortable, perfect for resting after travel.

✔️ The bathroom was also quite clean.

✔️ Easy access to the subway.

✔️ Decent accessibility to Shanghai Station.

✔️ Feels well-suited for travelers focused on sightseeing

who want a comfortable place to rest at the hotel.

If you're looking for a hotel for a one-night stay in Shanghai,

or a convenient place to stay near Shanghai Station,

this is a place worth considering.

Personally, my strongest impression was "not overly luxurious, but clean

and a great hotel for a comfortable one-night stay."

It was a pretty good place to relax comfortably after a day of exploring Shanghai

and then move on the next day!

There were just two minor downsides.

First, for Chinese hotels, it's all about delivery, right?!

Usually, a robot brings it right to your door,

but here, there are lockers next to the main hotel entrance.

You have to go down to the locker to pick it up.

If that's a downside... well, that's the biggest one, haha!

The other thing is, I definitely

I'd booked the Marriott Shanghai Central,

but when I searched for it on the map, the hotel location did show up,

but the name that appeared was Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Puxi.

This was super confusing at first!

Why the different name???

Turns out, the old name was Marriott Shanghai Puxi,

and that name is still widely used.

It showed up correctly on maps, and taxi drivers also

took me there without any major issues,

so ultimately there were no problems, but I definitely got a little confused, haha!
