Overall feeling: Average, below expectation.It has been transfered from an old house, hence it has nice feeling when you walk in. The room not feels as nice as showing on the picture. Location: quite nice. It's about 10 minutes walk from the nearest MRT(Metro) station- line 3. but it's very close by a shopping area (SiChuan Road) as well as... More

It is the most nice hotel i have ever met in Sha,the staff are very warm heart,The transportation is convenient .But sometime if you stay on the first floor,it will be very noisey.So,if you prefer a quiet sleep,i suggest you'd better choose the second floor or the third floor.Anyway,i will introduce my friends come here.

I like the cloth and the color,but my husband doesn't really like it. so in our eyes ,it's a hotel for ladies. The coffee shop at the ground floor was cool also, taste is not bad and price is fair. The only weakness piont is the room we stayed doesn't have real window, so it was not very bright. Other... More

I only reached Shanghai at 3am so I am thankful for the quick and friendly check-in. I stayed in the Lavender room which was smaller than it appeared on the photos but no big deal. The room was clean, with good water pressure in the bathroom. There are several places for you to hang around when you are tired from... More

I must say I was so surprised the first time I walked into this place! I usually don't believe every picture listed online for hotels/attractions until I see it for myself. To my surprise this place was better than the pictures. The atmosphere/location/food/service all received and A+ from me. I have stayed there more than 4times in my 3yrs of... More

Although I stayed here almost a year ago, I still remember how amazed I was by the quality and cleanliness of the rooms at Koala Garden. Even in the shared dorms with 6 people, the rooms were very neat and tidy, had great A/C (important for the summer), and even came with lockers and locks. The shared bathrooms are also... More

This hotel provides a good value for your money in Shanghai. It is located north of the city (down-town for Americans) and is about a 15 minute walk to two subway stations, or about a 1 hour walk to the city. I stayed at a hotel with similar priced rooms even further north and experienced worse customer service and a... More
