Good place to stay

This hotel is in a great location. It's right in the heart of the French Concession and it's about a 7 minute walk to the metro. They were doing renovation while I was there so there was no view from my window. Staff was attentive and spoke English. Swimming pool and wi-fi in the room is not free (I think wifi was 60rmb for 24 hrs). Non-smoking room available.

After a few hi-hups (the reservation

After a few hi-hups (the reservation was not found when we arrived), we finally got our room (20th floor, non-smoking as requested). It think they were bugs in the carpets (got bitten all over the legs during the night) and cockroaches in the lobby toilets. Very unfriendly and unresponsive staff (especially at check-in and check-out times). Do not expect any of them to speak even remotely good English. No non-smoking separation in the restaurants, each room has only one breakfast regardless of how many guests registered (first time I see this) and the breakfast is nothing special. No air evacuation in the bathroom (seems to be an old room updated to a new style by applying a new layer of decoration). Location however (French Concession, out of Nanjing Road frenzy) was a welcome benefit.

The hotel was fairly average by most standards. Dont waste time using the 2 different 'Do not disturb' signs....theyre ignored, so lock up your bags! Very little, if any english spoken or understood.
