The location is great, just need a bit time to find the place for the first time. There are few shopping mall nearby within walking distance 5 minutes. The building out looking is a bit old, but the inside is great and Morden. It is actually a local residential building, therefore do not expect for a reception.

I loved this hotel. Rooms are new, and really clean. Bed sheets are perfectly clean. A lot of young people working in hotel, and they are really helpful. First night we arrived late, and we were really hungry, Long helped us to order some food to hotel, and he even helped me to order stroller for my baby, that was really cool. Metro station is 5 min. walk, and if you want to walk to center, it is just half hour.

The host Lisa is very kind. We received a lot of help from her. She let us pay with card instead of WeChat when we had a problem with our bank. The place is beautiful and clean. You can ask for people to clean during your stay without having to pay an extra fee. There is a direct acces to a mall with a lot to places to eat shop. Also, direct access to the metro station. The place is very central and by metro we could reach all the places we wanted to see in less than a 30 minutes ride. In our bedroom there was a movie projector and we could watch films in english. If we ever comeback to Shanghai we would stay there again.

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
