Hotel was average, but locaton was a bit far out from the main attractions. 15-20mins walk to metro station. When you get of of the hotel, take a left and cross the road. Walk down the road, past the petrol station which should be on your left.
Taking a taxi otherwise was not expensive but with the traffic takes forever.

Our room was pretty old but clean. On arrival we were upgraded to a big suite, which was a nice surprise, still they should refurnish the rooms.
Breakfast was ok, nothing special though. The staff were not very friendly or helpful, a mix of not understanding and not caring.
The hotel is far from everything, but a taxi ride to The Bund costs only about 25RMB, very cheap.
I think you can find a better hotel for the same price.

I stayed here on a freind's recommendation that this was closer to the "real Shanghai". I was not disappointed. The rooms were very nice - not 5* - but 4*+. Breakfast buffet was very, very good as well as the coffee served during breakfast time.

The hotel is about 400M from the Metro so it was fairly convenient. If you feel like taking a stroll, the #3 line is about 1KM away. Best of all, the staff was very accomodating and they do speak english and they are very helpful.

All in all, a very good stay.

If you want a hotel that is near a motorway then this is a good one for you. Actually it is situated vitually underneathe the intersection of two main Highways in the North WEst of the City. Location wise it suits the businessman but really inconvenient for the traveller.

Fortunately the Travel Co I was travelling with provided transport to downtown - fortunate as this hotel is nowhere near a subway station or anything of interest whatsoever.

Taxis are very cheap still in China so it is not a disaster.

Bar in the lobby is souless - but the rooms are spacious, clean and the bathrooms are very big. Buffet breakfast provides western and oriental cuisine and is fine.
