Reviews and Ratings
This hotel was a mixed bag for me. The rooms were super plush, quiet, and filled with tons of amenities, making my stay really comfortable. However, the room wasn't ready as promptly as expected, and the size was a bit too small for my liking.
My stay at the hotel was great! The rooms were clean and spacious, with a nice desk area and TV with free movies. The corner room, although well lit with two windows, felt a bit cramped due to a huge column. The bathroom was spacious and clean, but the decor was a little dated. The service was friendly and helpful, especially in getting taxis and offering travel advice. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the city and come back to rest. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection of dishes. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor areas for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located right on the bustling Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, making it a superb spot for exploring the city. The rooms, although spacious with a lovely separate bath and shower, felt a bit dated and lacked effective air conditioning. The service, while initially aggressive about breakfast options, improved as they clarified the information stated on the site. The on-site dining offered a wide variety of Asian and Western cuisines, though it may not be the best value for money. The hotel's facilities were decent, enhancing the overall stay experience.
The hotel had large and clean rooms, although slightly dated decor. The staff service went beyond the normal level to help me, but some were a bit rude. The location was very good, near important areas but a bit far from the subway station. The dining experience was somewhat disappointing with limited choices but had a great selection of dishes. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was incredibly helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring Shanghai. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a great value for the money!
The hotel is nicely located near the famous shopping street, offering a convenient stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable despite being a bit small for the price, but a refreshing change from smoke smells. The service lacks some helpfulness but manages decent cooked-to-order items. The dining experience, with a good variety of Western and Chinese dishes, is highlighted by a great cup of coffee. The location is excellent for exploring the city, close to key tourist attractions and the Metro, though more training is needed for the service staff during high season.
