The hotel is in bad shape. Needs reparing asap. 2 stars max.
Comfortable stay, and convenient to Tianzifan.
Good location close to subway and restaurants. Accidentally booked 1 day to short and adding a day after checkout cost double $.
This hotel and it's staff are the jewel of Shanghai!
Every year I stay there and it's becoming homey (if you are for long stays and prefer an apartment, this is your best choice!). Whatever you request they will try their best to help! There are younger employees at the front desk, some may find it irritating at first until you get to know them! Then it turns to the small friendly community away from home. Maybe I'm biased but I do love this place Oh just cross the road toward McDonald's and next to it there's a tiny North west (Lanzhou halal noodles) restaurant.
Good location to metro. Could be cleaner
Dated but clean. Great location and reasonable. If you're after luxury then this ain't it, but for a nights sleep at a good price, it's hard to fault.
Hotel itself is fine. 10 minutes walking distance to Dapuqiao subway station and French Concession. Our fridge was broken and even after talking to the manager they did not replace it or allowed us to move to a different room during our 4 night stay. There is no pool.
Having little knowledge of the Chinese language it was great to be greeted by English speaking staff. I was fortunate enough to stay on the 36th floor which provides dramatic views down to the Pudong River (when it is not smoggy). My room came with a living area, balcony, kitchen and ensuite, all of which were in great condition.
A small but nice room at the 4* quality level, and a steal at the $39 USD I paid for it. However, the Internet is paid-only, which is a major downside, and worse yet, is wired only, which means there is no way to get your phone online.
Also, the service is positively hostile.
A short walk away from Tianzifang.
