What an interesting place. A really quite neat hotel with nice rooms and a comfy bed. The restaurant on Level 2 is of a reasonable standard and the downstairs lounge is very pleasant place to sit and do some work with the free Wifi. Now the downside. The area is pretty dodgy and the little Beer Bar across the street... More

If only these people who work in China Hotels realized, that the travelers who pay money to stay at their hotels are responsible for paying their wages and NOT the locals... When I arrived at the hotel there was a man who greeted the taxi, opened the trunk and left my suitcase on the road, and, nobody bothered to take... More

The hotel is fine and the staff helpful and polite. The location suited me with a taxi to a wide selection of restaurants being less than 30 RMB and I never had to wait long for a taxi. The only negative is that, as a Western non-smoker, I very much noticed the smokey atmosphere everywhere. Having stayed in more than... More

Not really geared towards foreigners. First 30 channels on TV are Chinese. Explanation on some breakfast products only in Chinese. Faint smell of cigarette smoke in the room. No wifi in room and cumbersome ethernet. Free internet in breakfast hall, though. Bed is very good. Not very modern appearance. All in all, nothing special but it serves its purpose.

I've stayed at this hotel a couple times for business and find it quite nice. The rooms are comfortable and the surrounding area nice for a stroll. Also, it's a short taxi ride to a number of the sights.

OK Chinese run hotel but which aims to cater for Japanese business visitors to this part of Shanghai. They have Sushi in the restaurant and Kareoke in the Club but quality is not really up there with what the Japanese might expect. Rooms pretty small and my colleagues had no aircon all night which was stifling. There is a bar/Club... More
