The hotel covers the basics ok and is a good value hotel, as Shanghai is a more expensive city than many others in China. Built in the 1930's but updated, it has some interesting design details for Art Deco fans. It has walking proximity to the Bund and to the extensive Shanghai Metro system. The neighbourhood is under large scale... More

The location of the hotel is a short walk to the Bund. The room was not modern but the amenities were OK. The 'fridge doesn't shut off when you remove your room card, a definate plus. Breakfast is standard Chinese fare, but the staff cooked fried eggs on request. All in all, great location, reasonable rates and a good place... More

Although the hotel is well located, it is very deficient for foreign travelers. There were few people working at the front desk that spoke English and often during the day, there was no one who spoke English. Their breakfast is lacking in quality and the overall appearance is just so-so. The value is good as it was less expensive than... More

I have had a 3-night stay from in July 2012 after a business trip in Cixi, China. Good points: 1. The location is good! Less than 5 minutes walk to the Metro and less than 20 minutes walk to The Bund and The Nanjing Pedestrian Shopping Street. 2. It is safe. 3. Value for money if "a roof over the... More

Hotel is in a reasonably good location - 10 minute walk to the Bund and a little further to Nanjing Road. Rooms are small, (and I had a double to myself) so would be tight if you we're sharing. Even non smoking rooms have a stale cigarette smell, so good job that the windows open! Stayed for 3 nights and... More

Good, clean spacious room with a view over the historic post office to the sights and lights that turn on in Pudong from between 6-7pm to around 10pm each night. It's a 10 minute walk to the Bund and 20 to the main shopping area. Has two american fast food outlets 5 min from hotel by nearest Metro station and... More

The hotel is located conveniently donwtown Shanghai. However, the internet connection didn't work during my stay and the hotel staff wasn't of any help. No-smoking rooms still smell of cigarets. horrible view from the lower floors. I warmly suggest to avoid this one.

Pros: -Very good location, 10 minute walk to the Bund, restaurants, bars, shopping. Subway right down the road. -Clean room, comfy beds -Amazing view -Quiet inside the hotel -Breakfast was worth it--lots of fruits and whatnot. Cons: -Street noise (expected in such an area, with a view). -Staff was cold and indifferent (expected in China) -Restaurant was overpriced, not very... More

Stayed for three nights at the end of August. Rooms were pretty decent; clean, good size bed, modern bathroom, aircon etc. Internet available in rooms but was not free. Location was fairly decent; walking distance to the metro and Bund. Service from the reception staff was generally good, although a little slow at times. Can't comment on the value as... More
