I am usually not a fan of chain hotels but decided to give a series of Chinese chains a shot simply for novelty - this one attracted me because of the price and also the black interiors that looked potentially chic and 'boutique'. Counter staff were relatively friendly upon arrival. Despite the comment I left when booking to say "no... More

Normally never ever bother writing reviews of places as figure its one off bad experience and I wouldn't want to ruin reputation of a place purely because I had a bad experience but.... Worst hotel I have ever stayed in, this includes some dumps in third world countries. We had booked 2 kind size rooms for 4 night. On arrival... More

Booked online and informed them we would not be checking in till about 7-8pm due to our flight time. Arrived to find our room already sold and offered another room... More

We stayed here for 2 nights for 259 RMB a night. It is only a 5 min walk from subway stop and is a short walk to "The Bund". Location wise it is perfect. The room itself is small albeit adequate if you don't have too much luggage. I like the "old Shanghai" prints on the walls of the hotel... More
