I stayed for a night on a business trip. Compared to other international hotel brands in Shanghai, this is an excellent value. It's reasonably located, about 45 minutes to Shanghai Hongqiao airport. I wil stay again.

This is a clean and fairly new hotel. We stayed as part of a large group and actually stayed on two separate occasions one week apart (so the hotel was organized by someone else). We arrived ahead of the main group and were quickly checked in (the ability of some of the front desk to speak and understand English varied,... More

This could be a better place if it's managed properly. We encountered the following problems during our stay; - all rooms seems to be smoking despite the sign shows no smoking - management cast a blind eye on guests who smoke in their rooms, some even leave their room door open so that the hall way is full smell of...

First problem none of the front desk staff know how to speak english. Second problem we were given a smoking room when we requested a no smoking room and the unfriendly staff didn't want us to change our room when their housekeeping person could clearly smell how bad the room was. Third problem was that the new room was full... More

(3) Very messy breakfast (4) Location... More
