After needing a room shift due to a bad smell in the first, we generally enjoyed our stay at this well located hotel. Just off Xinzha road (look out for the sign just over bridge that diverts you to the hotel in a side street). Overlooks a tributary of the Huangpo river which can be viewed from one side of... More

This is an excellent small business hotel located near a tributary of the Huangpo River (can see it from my window) and a 15 minute walk to People's Square and Nanjing Road (the West end of it.) Thankfully, no tour bus groups were here, and the guests I saw were mostly Chinese. Excellent buffet breakfast. I was particularly impressed by... More

Great location to down town but far from the bund (30 mins, no metro stop near bund). The bed was very comfortable but the room, despite the heat blowing, was cold (bad insulation). The room was large, had a nice desk/office area (separate from the bedroom), the room also came with some nice coffee/teas. The bathroom, however, left much to... More

The hotel could be a little difficult to find at first since it is not exactly located in the main road. However, there's a handy sign along the road that points to where it is. What we liked the most is that it's situated in the heart of Shanghai. It is near the Subway and walking distance from Park, and... More

I have been staying there for one night during a business trip. The room is ok for this price in Shanghai but dirty. There were insects in the room hiding under the carpet!!! This is unacceptable! How is it possible to have a good sleep when you know that an insect may climb in your bed??? They were reparing the... More

After trying to find a cheap hotel in Shanghai during a University exchange to the nearby Shanghai, we found this amazing hotel that was so cheap compared to other hotels yet still seemed almost 5 star to us. Only issue is that you have to buy breakfast, but those are amazing and worth it. Great beds, amazing comfort, great TVs... More

Rooms are nice, not sad as hotel rooms mainly are. The place is under construction but quiet, service is ok. The free wifi connection is quite fast considering the average speed. You have the possibility with a small plus to have a room with the near river view. Rooms are lightfull and have a clean pleasant design.

I stayed there for 3 nights. The room was very clean. The maids were very nice. Only one staff member was able to speak english even though they advertised having english speaking staff. That was okay since it was only $55 a night. Great deal!
