Reviews

• Yohan from Mauritius – 7 May 2025 (9/10)

  I specifically selected this hotel not only because it felt price wise to me, but also because it was conveniently located near Huangpu river which makes it a suitable starting point to ride by bicycle at night. Instead of going to the bund, which is generally too crowded, to check out the amazing view of Shanghai city, the same can be done through what i proposed which I personally prefer. Additionally, the facilities available in this hotel, especially the lounge area located on 26th floor boasts of an amazing view of shanghai city both during the day and night time. I am definitely looking forward to come again in the near future!
  
  What could be improved: The hotel had almost everything that i could think of except massage treatments, but you can easily find massage parlors in the vicinity. One issue that i found inappropriate for a five star hotel was the fact that the shower area within the man locker room on the same floor as the swimming pool, had a rather fishy smell which brought me to the conclusion that barely any cleaning is made on a daily basis. Furthermore, i found it rather hard to control the temperature as there was barely cold water.
