    The Sound of the elevators when they Stop is a bit too loud and we could hear it every time in our room as it was nearby them. You had to wait a certain time to get an Elevator while breakfast rush-hour.to get one.

    The location is nearby a Metro Station (Intersection Zhenru), which was great. The hotel offers a huge and tasty variety of Chinese and Continental food for Breakfast. The staff was always very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the pool was still unser construction, of what I was Not informed in advance. They appologized immediately.

    A great value for money and an excellent location to explore Shanghai

    My greatest disappointment was that the swimming pool was closed during my stay (it was supposed to reopen but then all of a sudden the opening date was postponed). This feature was crucial for me when booking my stay, so I was fairly dissapointed. Note for long term stay: according to the rules, your room is only cleaned twice per week, so you should take care of your room utilities such as water, soap, teabags, toilet paper etc. It also happened that those were not refilled even on the cleaning days, so sometimes I had to look for cleaning ladies and ask to pop up my stock. Adding a toilet brush to the utilities would also be a nice addition :) Also, the was constant odor in the bathroom which never went away but only became weaker when you keep flushing the toilet or using the sink.

    I stayed in this hotel for one month, and I think this is a good value for money. Despite not in the heart of the city, the hotel has a great location - the nearby metro station is conveniently connected to most places in Shanghai, you'll get to most places in under 30 minutes. The room I had was fairly spacious and very clean (as were the rest of the hotel premises). The breakfast was very varied, with lots of great choices of food and drinks. There is another restaurant at the hotel serving Chinese dishes. The gym area was rather spacious and the yoga hall was simply amazing (though no group classes were organised during my stay). You'll find many some restaurants and cafes nearby (including Starbucks and another westernised coffeeshop just around the corner). There is a bank and a telecom office 1 minute away, so there is everything you need to set up your stay in Shanghai.

    Nothing

    If you are looking for a lovely hotel, this is definitely the place to stay! The hotel is immaculate. -Just a 20 minute taxi journey to Shanghai centre to see the bund etc and only costs 55 Yen (£5.50 or $7) so very cheap! -There is a Starbucks and a 24/7 small grocery store literally next door to the hotel which was very convenient! -The rooms are beautiful and a perfect size in my opinion. They are very clean and modern. The bed is very comfortable. -All of the staff are so kind and welcoming! (Especially Yang, Wade and James) All staff spoke basic English which was amazing as not many people we met in Shanghai did! -The staff are happy to book you taxis at reception and they give you a small card which has the hotels address on to give to taxis on your way back- this was a great help and always worked fine! -The front of the hotel is beautiful too, there is always staff on the front to open your taxi door for you -taxis are cheap from hotel to local attractions. £25 (220 yen) to the wild animal park. £20 to Disney land (175 yen). The bund £6 (55 yen). Pudong airport £25 (220 yen). Hongqiao airport £6 (55 yen) We stayed in bejing and Shanghai on our trip to China, you really are not getting better value for money anywhere in Shanghai than this hotel, we were so happy and will definitely return! Thank you very much

    I did encounter an issue with the air-conditioning in my room. Unfortunately, it was quite hot, and I was unable to adjust the settings to a more comfortable temperature.

    I was very impressed with the room. Its cleanliness and stylish decor made for a very comfortable stay. I also want to commend the staff for their exceptional service. They were incredibly helpful.

    There isn’t restaurant in the evening inside the hotel. After 9pm there is no one restaurant nearby that operates. But the hotel staff took us to a noodle stall nearby (only the locals know) for a simple meal. The room size is quite small. It can hardly fit two large suitcase.

    The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and we were given two rooms opposite of each other. Robot was used to send us towels. We were amazed.

    Even though it was very close to the subway station, I could never find the hotel when coming back! Maybe it needs more signage to get to it easier.

    The room was lovely and it had everything I needed. Plenty of USB connectors to charge my gadgets, a very nice view, and very comfortable.

    Please change the fake plants in front of the hotel. I did not mind but it is good to know: - hot water takes a bit of time to reach higher floor - just keep the tap open -swimming pool is closed -cleaning of room isn't bad but can be improved -I think the size of bed/ mattress is short than the usual 190cm

    It was a really good choice to book this hotel. Reached the hotel from the airport and it was really easy, Line 2 and changed to Line 11 (it is less walking than Line 14). Use exit 1 (use the escalator then right and right again when you see the Family Mart - if you walk through the empty mall you have to climb a spiral stairwell). It took about 1.5 hour Staff in the hotel are friendly and speak good English. My room was at the 29th floor, big enough, lots of storage space, one fridge, good bed/mattress, and faced the sunset. Had a full "hotel" laundry bag (wash & fold) for 39YEN Good size of gym

    I did not like the location, there werent many supermarkets or shops around. Walking/traveling anywhere was a bit of a hassle. I also did not like the fact that the cord for the water kettle was too short.

    Loved the room service, and the regular cleaning. The rooms were new and and the staff were detail oriented. I also quite liked the decorations, it looks new and modern.

    This has nothing to do with the hotel, but I did not like the location. Its a bit far away from everything and the area around the hotel looks new and under development.

    The hotel is new, and the room looks very good, although a bit small. Still comfortable for a one-night stay.

    Very food value of money, the hotel is new and comfy. Metro station is just 3 min walk from hotel (exit 1) direct to yuyuan and Disney etc spots. Staffs are really nice, they help us to call a taxi while our taxi app didnt work. Also, I've left my pants behind and they help to arrange to send me back.

    The room is a bit small.

    Everything is upto standard. It meets our expectation. The hotel is probably not located in the heart of Shanghai, but is only few minutes away by Metro. the nearest Metro station is ZhenRu (Exit 1). It's surrounded by Family Mart, Starbucks and Tim Hortons. However, my impression is the service. All staffs are freindly and helpful. They all are eager to provide us the very best service they could. One of our rooms had an air condition problem on the 3rd night. The staff quickly called a technical staff to check and change a room for us. They even waited in front of our room while we packed up and helped us to move the new room.
