it was a very pleasant stay. The location cannot be better. The rooms are large and plenty of room to hang clothes. Selections are varied and plentiful. Toilets can be upgraded to Toto type of toilets found in newer hotels. Otherwise there is nothing to complain and everything to be recommended.

Lovely central location for the Bund
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.

Excellent location, excellent hotel
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.
