Pros:

Me gusta la ubicación por estar cerca a pie de una estación de metro ( Longde Rd) por lo que es fácil ir a los lugares más visitados de Shanghái. Así como el lugar tranquilo junto al río. La comodidad y luminosidad de la habitación.

Cons:

No es algo exclusivo de este hotel sino general en la mayoría de hoteles de China , es que no saben inglés aunque se esfuerzan con el traductor por ayudarte en todo.
