As someone who travels frequently and has strict requirements for accommodation hygiene, my first criterion for choosing a hotel is always "cleanliness". This time, I came to the Shanghai World Expo Center to participate in an industry exhibition and booked Atour Hotel Shanghai World Expo Center with a try and see attitude. After staying, I immediately included it in my regular stay list for business trips in Pudong - its hygiene details completely met the needs of all cleanliness conscious guests.
When checking in, I first paid attention to the front desk area. There was no water stain on the countertop, and the buttons of the self-service machine and the armrests of the sofa in the rest area were polished to a shiny finish. Even the corners and crevices were not covered in dust. The first impression I had upon entering was particularly good. When the front desk staff handed over the room card, they deliberately wrapped it in a clean card holder and did not directly touch the surface of the card with their hands. This small detail instantly relieved me of most of my concerns.
After entering the room, I did a round of "hygiene checks" according to my own habits: first, I touched the door handle and switch panel when I entered, and there was no oil stains or fingerprint prints; Opening the pillow and looking at the corners of the pillowcase, there were no old yellow marks, and upon closer inspection, only a faint scent of laundry detergent was detected; The glass mirror in the bathroom is wiped clean without any water stains, and there is no hair residue on the floor drain in the shower area. The toilet seat and countertop have been disinfected twice, and there are also disinfectant wipes placed nearby. Guests can clean them themselves at any time. What surprised me the most was that many hotels tend to overlook the air conditioning vents, deep wardrobes, and under desks, all of which are clean and free of dust. There is not even a trace of debris in the curtain tracks, indicating that the cleaning was really thoughtful and not just a casual formality.
The hygiene of the hotel's public areas is also surprising, with staff patrolling the breakfast counter at all times. If any food residue falls off the table, it is immediately cleaned up. The tableware is all sterilized at high temperatures, and there is no slippery touch when held in the hand. The keys in the elevator hall will be disinfection and sterilization every hour, and there is also a wash free disinfection gel beside it, which can be accessed at any time. Even the hallway carpets that many chain hotels easily overlook have no stains or odors, stepping on them is clean and there are no traces of snack crumbs or coffee stains.
I haven't encountered any hygiene problems during my two days of stay. Even though I left on the go, the housekeeping staff quietly tidied up the room and replaced all the towels with new ones. The used water cups on the table were also disinfected and neatly arranged. Even the charging cable that I casually placed by the bed was gently arranged in an unobstructed position, and I didn't casually flip over my personal belongings. The hotel's location is also very convenient, just a few minutes' walk to Yaohua Road subway station, making it easy to commute to the Expo Center for exhibitions and dining around. For someone like me who has high requirements for accommodation hygiene, Atour Hotel Shanghai World Expo Center is a completely open choice. Next time I come to Pudong for an exhibition, I will definitely book here directly.Show more
