I was part of a Tour group to China which booked this hotel for our stay in Shanghai. The weekend we were there, the event center next to the hotel had some sort of fair that started early that Saturday. From the room we were in, you could hear the music blairing. The accomodation was okay. Room was small with very little walking space with two twin beds. Room was clean but just felt crampy but I'm sure it was the standard room they had.
Breakfast served both American and Asian dishes. Lots of business people were staying there along with tour groups which made it seem hectic. The breakfast buffet wasn't all that great. From a scale of 1-10, i give it a 7, decent but nothing worth writing.
Location is far from the Metro and not close to the tourist attractions like the Bund,Pearl Tower, etc.
Taking taxi back took a while because of traffic and a concert that night in the building. Staff were friendly and were able to communicate in English. Tried their Chinese restaurant that night which we were the only ones eating. Food was okay but they ran out of the seasonal crab which was popular at that time.

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of a 2 week tour of China. The hotel is very impressive inside and out. Check in was quick, we were allocated a very small but nicely furnished room. Decided to go for a swim and on looking for the pool we asked a member of staff near reception for details, he asked if we were happy with everything and i commented that the room and bed were smaller than we had expected and he offered to upgrade us to a city view room on the premiere floor! Excellent service and i hope that the hotel check this website for reviews because i want to say a very big thank you. The room was wonderful and if you are considering staying at this hotel i would definitely recommend these rooms - the stadium view rooms are very good but much smaller than the city view rooms.
Convenient location near 2 metro stations, breakfast and bar service excellent. The happy hour at the bar on the 12th floor (wonderful views of the flood lit stadium) has a few stipulations and does not include all drinks. We were not allowed to "share" our drinks and had to order individually (so would end up with 4 drinks) as we were ordering beer (we did not want 2 drinks on our table going warm and flat) the waitress agreed to bring them after we had finished our first round. This seems a bit silly to me after all it is the customer's choice after buying a drink if they decide to give their partner the "free" one so perhaps this is something the hotel can look in to. However a minor niggle for a very impressive hotel

Not many positive things to say really......staff don't smile, average breakfast, old rooms, poor sleep quality, noisy, taxis not easily available due to the location, slow Internet etc. Overall, a poor experience.

We stayed in a Premier room in this hotel, which is built into the Shanghai Stadium, and had to pass through a metal detector and X-ray machine at the security checkpoint of the hotel every time we entered. Odd but understandable, I guess.

The room was spacious, with plenty of seating. It was clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed looking out the window and watching the qigong practice every morning. There were multiple restaurants in the hotel, but we usually went to the convenience stores and bakery across the street. There is also a small grocery store with fresh fruit, snacks, etc. as well.

The Shanghai Sightseeing Bus Center was very close to the hotel, and the nearest metro stop for the Shanghai Indoor Stadium is less than a five minute walk. There is also a small mall at the street intersection of the metro stop, and restaurants on Caoxi Rd.
