Disliked: Amenities
No smile at all in this hotel. Except the gentleman helped us to check in on the very first night! At 1am😊. Surprisingly, Breakfast was very poor & terrible. Stayed just for 2 days & can’t tolerated the poorly breakfast. No air conditioning outside the room. Although, the location is excellent. 2 minutes walk to the shopping street & 15-20’ walk to the bund or Yu garden. It’s not cheap hotel compares to many others surrounding within the area.

Great stay, quiet room (2210) near nanjing east and the bund. Clean hotel with nice view. Only bad thing is that the soap and shampoo sucks had to buy from convenience store. Tea wasn't consistently topped up. Also the mala peanuts are not free!! Haha they are part of the mini bar.

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
