“Better than expected!”

Our tour was starting here, and we arrived 2 days early. Rather than change hotels, we decided to book this hotel. It is a 10 minute walk to the Metro (which is FANTASTIC and easy to use) but taxis are cheap. We took a taxi from Pudong bullet train station (coming from airport) and it cost 70Y. The nearby streets have restaurants and there is a market with fresh fruit and veg, meat and fish. There is a also a tiny park where the locals do tai chi, and take their birds and dogs for a walk. Bathroom a bit tired but really not an issue. English spoken on reception. I emailed to advise we had booked two nights before joining the tour to ensure we didn't have to change rooms and received a very pleasant email back. Free wifi in lobby. The "hard" beds in China never worried me but it was suggested we could ask for a extra doona/duvet and pad the bed with that. Rating: I would say better than average but not very good - GOOD!

“Out of the city a bit, but good.”

This hotel is well out of the city which we would have prefered to stay a bit closer to the centre of Shanghai, however the metro is easy to use.

This hotel is well out of the city which we would have prefered to stay a bit closer to the centre of Shanghai, however the metro is easy to use. The hotel it self was fine with clean rooms, however you shouls ask for a non smoking room as some of our friends complained of strong cigarette smell in there rooms. Most of the front line staff could speak english which made it helpful.

“Good 3 star hotel”

My room had reasonable quality furniture and fittings, but it smelt so strongly of cigarette smoke that I had trouble sleeping the first night. By the second night I was so tired after seeing the sights of Shanghai that I managed to sleep. The room wasquiet and had all of the essential amenities that Western travellers expect. One wall showed obvious signs of water damage and there was a fair bit of mould in the bathroom, but otherwise it was a quiet, clean and comfortable room. The biggest problem was the smell of stale cigarette smoke.
