Nice hotel with super location
Pros:

The check in and check out process were friendly and efficient. We are very satisfied with out room, which is facing a side street, very quiet. The room is specious, clean. The beds are comfortable. The cleaning staff did good job and are friendly. The location of the hotel is great, easy to find restaurants, shopping and metro. We booked a airport limo to PVG. The lady driver was very good, a smooth drive and helpful with the luggage. Overall, we are very satisfied with our stay again in this hotel, after several years.

Cons:

The coffee in room is of very poor quality. packages of instant Nestle cafe would have been better.

Рекомендую.
Pros:

Отличное расположение отеля. Самый центр. Пешеходная улица. Метро рядом с отелем. На завтраке есть выбор. Больше уклон в китайскую кухню. Но нас это вполне устроило. Кровать большая удобная. Есть залог за номер (это во всех отелях Китая). Лучше его вносить наличными. Так удобнее. Отель рекомендую.

Cons:

Не буду придираться к мелочам.

Pros:

Excellent location. Good breakfast. Good beds and clean.

Cons:

Middle area could use a ramp, as we needed to go around the cafe/restaurant when going to the rooms/lifts.

Lovely hotel in an exceptional location
Pros:

Just a 2 minute walk away from Nanjing road. Very well located, cozy hotel. The hotel also boasts a decent breakfast and good amenities. If we are back in Shanghai, this is definitely a place we would stay again.

Cons:

The middle area could use a ramp, we had a pram and needed to go a big round everytime we entered into the hotel to the lifts.

Рекомендую.
Pros:

Отель рекомендую. Находится в самом центре. Метро рядом. Номера отличные. Завтрак с уклоном в китайскую кухню. Для европейцев еда. За номер берут залог 2000 юаней (лучше оплачивать наличными, чтобы не было путаницы). Для Китая это норма. При выезде возвращают.

Cons:

Нет

Central yet spacious
Pros:

Centrally located and spacious with a pool and saunas. Our room was large, comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast buffet was very good.

Cons:

There was little information about the facilities at the hotel. The senior concierge had to be questioned heavily to obtain guidance though the young bell boys were keen to help.
