The smell of tobacco smoke permeates the lobby but this is not unusual in this country where non-smoking facilities are a myth. The same smell haunted our room but other members of our party denied detecting the odor in their rooms. The rooms were competent and the sleeping was quiet on the higher floors, at least. Internet available at a... More

I know this Hotel is very well-known in Shanghai but I think it has "had its day". It just seemed a little "tired". Location-wise, it is not the greatest although it is only one block south of Jingan Temple (and the subway). And around the area is a very nice mix of convenience stores, coffee shops (Costa Coffee too) and... More

Food in the hotel was very good and there were good restaurants just a short walk away. The staff were courteous and helpful. A shop on the ground floor sold beer and wine at a... More

The worst hotel for service in China I have ever experienced. Rude, incompetent staff and they only want you to pay in Cash rather than use credit cards. Do not stay here ! More

I know that Chinese people do not like the cold too much but they sure jacked up the heat in this hotel. We used to carry a jumper and coat with us until we got to the lobby, then pulled them on just as we walked out the door! Admittedly it was winter so it was cold but wow was... More

Stayed here on business for 6 days. The hotel is well situated in central Shanghai and Taxi fares were minimal to anywhere in the City. The Hotel is a little tired in places and if you stay at the back of the hotel beware of the early morning call at 5.30am. The Hotel that backs onto this hotel empty the... More

Of the 5 hotels I stayed at in China, this one is by far the worst. I'm not one to see things on the negative side. It does serve it's purpose as a place to sleep at night......that's it. Its' good days are by far gone and some renovation could definitely brighten things up here (new carpets, wall paper). The... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of our tour. I would not say here again. The location was good, but that is all that is positive about this hotel. Check in was o.k. as we were the only ones (hubby and myself) around reception at the time. The room was just yucky. The walls, carpets, curtains... More
