I stayed at this Hotel with 2 of my girlfriends,we had adjoining rooms that were spacious clean and very modern with a view of the surrounding city from a ceiling to floor windows. Our checkin/checkout was seemless. Cost was @ $800AUD including fantastic buffet breakfast for 6 days. Great value! The nearby supermarket was handy for ATM and personal items. Here in Shanghai you must be prepared to catch cabs form A-B .This is not an expensive way to travel but is the easiest way to get around, public transport is too complicated. Getting taxis from our Hotel was no trouble, peak hour traffic is a nightmare, which is practically 24.7. There is no catering for tourism in any of the Hotels in Shanghai. You must go with a clear idea of what you want to do and where you want to go. No brochures appear in the foyer of any of the Hotels. The staff of our Hotel were very helpful in directing us and in turn telling our cab drivers were to take us in there language. Always carry a card from the Hotel where you are staying that has the mud map of where you are to be returned to! A lot of the taxi drivers are illiterate so make sure they absolutely know where they are to take you.

Good hotel to stay in Shanghai. Only thing is it is bit difficult to get a cab from the hotel, cab drivers don't come in too often, we had to walk to near by intersection to wave down a cab, lot more cabs at the near by intersection. Overall, it is a great hotel.

This is a great hotel in many ways, the rooms are large and up to the minute with flatscreen TVs, superb bathrooms with monsoon shower heads and comfy beds plus there are an impressive aray of dining choices and a decent gym. While the staff dont speak flawless English, they make up for it by being very customer service focused and enthusiastic and proud of their hotel. On the cons side, its just far away from the Shanghai action, a good 30 min taxi ride from the Bund/French Concession etc and while that will not set you back more than 35 yuan it makes taking an impulsive stroll somewhat more difficult. That said if you want to be near Hongqiao airport or the expat districts, this is a good bet. It might also come in handy as a back stop when Shanghai's big 5star names fill up in the popular months
