Reviews
Larry from United States – 27 May 2025 (8/10)
Close to convenience stores and restaurants. The roadway in and out of the property was wide enough for two vehicles. The staff made sure the path was always clear. Breakfast was good, but expensive.
What could be improved: The cost of drinks in the bar was outrageously high. Could have bought an entire bottle at the store for what 2 drinks cost. Breakfast was overpriced as well.Mrtonysong from United States – 11 February 2025 (9/10)
Old-school style and vibes in a GREAT location. Many excellent restaurants right across the street. Having said that, the hotel's own all-day dining restaurant is excellent. Located in a very walkable part of Shanghai with relatively light traffic and good supply of taxis.
What could be improved: The tub-shower is the weakest part of the room.Han from Singapore – 3 December 2024 (9/10)
Location is excellent. Easy access to train station (about 200m).
Staffs are friendly.
Rooms are big enough for 3 pax. Added 1 folded bed for my stay of 3.
What could be improved: A bit run down but can see the effort of the maintenance done.Linda from Australia – 21 November 2024 (9/10)
Fantastic location, close to metro station, lots of good food around including macccas across the road which was good for breakfast.
Big spacious room.
What could be improved: Stayed twice and first time no deposit required second time there was a 2500 RMB deposit required. No big deal but just a bit confusing.Boon from Malaysia – 30 October 2024 (7/10)
Wonderful location
Comfortable bed
What could be improved: The lobby, the reception area, the bath tub… gloomy and datedJohn from United Kingdom – 23 October 2024 (9/10)
Helpful staff.Smartly presented facilities. Good eating options. Clean
Good location easy access to Metro and excellent eating options nearby.
What could be improved: We could have had a little more help with the menu in the restaurant unfortunately our waitress didn't speak much English.(dave) from Singapore – 17 October 2024 (9/10)
Well located, easy access to various food choices, in between high-tech park and city central, within walking distance to Shanghai Joao Tong University subway station (about max 10 mins walk).
What could be improved: NoneSuejee from Canada – 13 October 2024 (8/10)
I enjoyed the noodle station. I had a bowl everyday and never tired of it since they offered three types of noodles and the toppings were good choices. The other foods were fair. Everything needed flavor. The location was ideal and close to many shops and restaurants. Getting a taxi or walking was easy.
What could be improved: I was disappointed in the Congee. It was mostly water and some rice on the bottom of the pot, no flavor. My last time in Shanghai was at another hotel and they had three kinds of congee; all 3 were fabulous. The Dim sum offerings were disappointing, I did not try any.
The staff could be friendlier. Maybe smile sometimes.Amine from Algeria – 9 October 2024 (8/10)
