From Longyang Road metro station, you may take metro line 2 to Nanjing East Road, get out from Exit 2 and then walk along Nanjing East Road for about 650 meters to find the hotel.

From the hotel, you may walk back to Nanjing East Road metro station and take metro line 2 for 1 stop to People's Square.

Pudong Airport to Shanghai Open University (TV University) with luggage more than 20kgs
I wanna go to the Open University, from Pudong Airport, and I take some luggage with me. Can I just ride the subway? thanks.

It is regulated that the luggage taken onboard should be within 23kg. So if yours is just a little bit more than 20kg, it is of course fine to just ride subway.

As I know, Hankou Road is nearer from East Nanjing Road, so you can walk from where you are to East Nanjing Road to take subway line 2 to the airport.
