Yes to both beautiful hotel lovely staff spotless clean.
Lovely central location for the Bund, Yuyu gardens and the metro for temples. It also has a reasonable gym, sauna and jacuzzi. Room sizes are large and spacious and the concierge service was excellent in sorting us a taxi to Wuzhen.
I couldn't have picked a better location for a one-night stay in Shanghai! Right next to the busy shopping street with lots of restaurant selection but no noise, friendly service, spacious and comfortable room. A metro station with direct link to Shanghai Pudong airport was just a few minutes walk away. Can heartily recommend this hotel.
Prime location, close to subway lines. Everything you need is within short walking distance. Hotel room is very spacious and clean. Amenities and services are excellent and outstanding. Will come back again soon.
The room has charging port which does not require me to take out my adapter which is super convenient! Room is very big! Staff also very helpful especially the hotel managers and the Concierge. They also allowed me to deposit my luggage with them even after I checked out to go for day trip. The location also is super close to Nanjing East Road. Recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were very nice. English was a problem but we worked through it. Buffet breakfast was more than expected and we enjoyed it very much. You could not ask for a better location. Minutes from a metro, and 5 minutes from the Bund. Our room was comfortable and very clean.
The staff were kind, helpful, and professional.
• The room was clean, though the décor and furnishings were outdated.
• The bathroom requires renovation, as water leaked onto the floor during showers.
• Breakfast was acceptable; however, hot dishes were often only warm and did not seem freshly prepared.
• The location was very convenient, with close access to the subway and within walking distance of Nanjing Road, the Bund (Waitan), residential districts, and other tourist attractions.
