This is a classic-style hotel—not modern, but very well maintained and not run-down. The location is very convenient, just one block away from Nanjing Street, with a convenience store right across the street. The room was clean, and the staff were very helpful. I especially appreciated the bathtub and the many elevators, so there was no long wait to go up to the room or down to the lobby. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it.

Spacious and near shopping street. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Only complaint is that it was hard to control the temperature of the shower head. Also, security wise can tighten as anybody can just go into the lift to go to the hotel levels. Otherwise, highly 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.

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.

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!
