I stayed at this hotel in June 2012 and paid about RMB350 per night. I arrived late (when do flights ever arrive on-time in China?) but check-in was fast, the room was pleasant and my sleep was solid. No complaints at all.
This hotel is about a ten minute taxi ride from Pudong Terminal 2; slightly closer to Terminal 1. The taxi fare was RMB14 -- the meter never changed! -- so I gave the driver a bit extra because he had waited a long time at the airport for a customer. There is a free shuttle, during the day, but it's almost always packed with other passengers.
The room was more than sufficient. While hardly glamorous, it was tidy, efficient and clean. They had CNN on the TV in English (yea!), the air conditioner worked, the window opened, they had wired internet, there was a luggage rack built in to the furniture, and they had a clever "open closet" (see photo, below) that I liked very much, because you can see in a glance if you have left anything on a hangar when you're checking out.
Special tip: to use the elevator, slide your room key into the slot on the left side of the elevator. I was so sleepy, i kept pushing buttons on the right side and never even noticed a second set of controls on the left!

Breakfast was a bit of a surprise. The second floor restaurant was bright, clean, and the food was delicious. Interestingly, they don't use meal tickets at this restaurant; you simply present your room key and they slide it through a slot, and presto the charge is added to your room (RMB15).
There's not much else to add -- there's no gym, no bar, no other amenities. But who cares? You're just there to change planes.
A good value and a good night sleep, that's all I was looking for.More
