So I stayed here for four nights in March of 2013. I speak fluent Mandarin and English and so did not have issues communicating with staff. Our room was kept quite clean. I can't complain. However, do note that the hotel is sneaky. First, we paid about $25 USD a night, on a "special promotion." But when we arrived, they... More

We spent a single night at the hotel after a very long and tiring day of sight-seeing immediately following a long flight across several time-zones. Suffice to say that when our guide dropped us at the hotel to check in early in the evening, we were keen to get into our room as soon as possible in order to catch... More

First, you got to ask yourself what you are looking for. If you are in Shanghai for tourism and want a decent place to sleep, this is a good choice. If you want that once-in-a-lifetime hotel experience, check in next door at the intercontinental, but keep in mind that it´s a 5-1 price ratio. The hotel is conveniently located near... More

Very close to Hanzhong Road Subway station and other major hotels and Shanghai Railway Station (but nothing else), which is ok because the subway can take you anywhere you like.

This was the first hotel we encountered in China. It was supposed to be a 4*, but I would say more a 3*. It is located near the main train station, with no river in sight - just a construction site opposite. It has a very exponsive bar (small Tsingtao RMB 32!!!!) but the cheapest, and one of the best,... More

common areas and rooms need a renovation. common The carpet is stained and the wall was patched. sheets and towels were clean. in the first room in which we have been there was a strong smell of disinfectant. except two employees who have really helped us, the rest of the staff has very little knowledge of English.

On check-in we were told there was no non-smoking rooms available, and there was also no king, or queen bedded rooms (both details which had been confirmed in writing by the travel agent) After a stoic stance by self, the duty manager appeared and moved us to a "suite" ( from which the ashtrays were hastily removed :-}) The room...
