This was the best place I stayed in China in terms of cost-benefit. The room was modern, probably recently remodeled. It was very comfortable and clean, including a good smell (not at all smelling like cigarettes as many hotels in China). The size was very much adequate for my needs. All the appliances worked well and were enough to make my stay smooth. Lisa, the host, was absolutely great! Very welcoming and willing to help when needed. She was of particularly great help to get a package I had bought and could not find. She was also very attentive to my needs concerning room cleaning. All this while allowing me to do my things and not constantly messaging. Definitely would stay there again, as the cost-benefit is great for my standards.

    The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

    Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
