  When booking with booking.com, I had thought breakfsst was included but in the fine print (which I did not notice, breakfast not included). Not very clear in the booking.com booking system

• Hilda from Australia – 26 April 2025 (9/10)

  Location – Excellent! Only 3 minutes' walk from the famous shopping district Nanjing Road West.
  Room – Very spacious and clean. Beds are very comfortable!
  Breakfast – N/A
  
  What could be improved: Gym – The only let-down of our 6-night stay. Used it for three times and not once it was adequately lit. During workouts, saw several guests in their gym outfits walked in but then pulled back a few minutes later, eventually leaving me and my partner the only guests there whenever onsite. As a 4-star hotel, its choice of gym equipment is also limited (e.g. Would be nice if there is a rowing machine). The vending machine was unstocked and no disinfectant supplies were provided.

• Tiziana from Italy – 26 April 2025 (8/10)

  The hotel is in a perfect location for visiting the city. It’s very close to the East Nanjing road and 20minutes walk from the Bund area.
  The room was very big and clean with all the comforts and the breakfast was good and with plenty of choices, both Chinese and continental.
  I would recommend this hotel for visiting Shanghai.
