Don't waste your time on this hotel, sleep elsewhere. Stained rugs, found a bug (the big brown type) running around our room. Rooms stincks. Rooms are noisy both from outside (poor windows) and inside (ventilation). I've checked 4 different rooms. Staff refused to provide a baby cot or an extra blanket for our baby, only after my wife made a... More

The location of this hotel can't be beat: subway stop right around the corner, walking distance to old city, people's square, French Concession & tons of shopping. There's convenience stores, bakeries, dumpling and noodle joints right there, and the hotel is on Yunnan--Shanghai's famous and authentic culinary street. There's also internet cafe really close, on Jinling Road 1.5 blocks east... More

Basic rate is for an airless, windowless, non-air-conditioned closet (in May). Requesting upgrade for following night, was immediately quoted a reasonable price by one desk clerk. Another, looking it up in her printout manual, found a price about twice that amount. Didn't like that, called her manager, was quoted a higher price. There being no choice, I agreed to that,...

The hotel is located very close to a subway station and a few famous Shanghai restaurants are just across street. With less than $40/day, it's a great value. My room is small and without window, which may be a problem for some people. For me, it's almost perfect: no noise from street and very quite for sleeping over the jet-lag.... More

The room price is reasonable, my room is clean, pleasantly furnished and not too noisy (I can hear the construction outside, but not the TV in the next room--in 2009 everything in central Shanghai is under construction for the 2010 Expo so there is no way to get away from it) Very central location right next to People's Square, metro...

Location: So-so...MTR is just a few minutes away...around 5-10mins Staff / People: Very nice, but poor English... Reservation: Because a former hotel don't want to entertain us and extend our stay, we locally called the hotel to book the reservation, thank God they still have a room available for us. Interior: Spacious rooms, the elevator is a little bit old... More

I had a very bad experience in the hotel. There is no bathtub in the room. The hot water was just lukewarm when I took the afternoon shower. When I again took a shower in next morning, the supposedly "hot" water was very cold. More
