Overall, the property was better than I expected based on a number of reviews I read. Room (I was in a king room on the 22nd floor) was a good size, and bed was very comfortable. There was street construction outside, but the noise was not terrible at night (and, in any event, if was certainly beyond the control of the hotel).
Property looks very old or poorly maintained. Room was large but no window in bedroom and then very large window in bathroom. Bedroom was very dark. No hot water for shower in morning. Sink I. Bathroom didn’t drain. Carpets were extremely dirty.
Book this hotel coz it’s close to the train station and shuttle to the airport. Although I didn’t use the subway, but it should be pretty convenient for other travelers. Rooms had been remodeled, beds are comfortable. Room is clean. Didn’t like the check in process. I reserved a room with two twin beds and asked the girl named Abby to see if she can switch to a king bed room. The answer was no. I accepted it. While I was still there waiting for the key, another guest came to check in with Scarlet. He also booked through a travel agency. He made the same request to have a king room instead of twin room and Scarlet accomendated his request. That was a slap on the face. That guest is Caucasian and I am Asian. Not sure if that was the reason why we got different treatments, but heard people were saying hotel staff value foreign guests more. And the room I got from Abby was right across from the elevator, speechless. However, I have to give credit to the girl who accomendated my request for a late check out the next day. Too bad I called from my room and didn’t get her name. Concierge was good, I left my luggage there after check out without any issues and they offered to call cab for me upon departure.
I stayed in room 1116 on new year eve 2017-2018. The main power switch doesn't control the lamp on the nightstand, so I was looking for the switch. And to my shock, the yellow electrical wire was cut and exposed. Since the light was still on, this indicates that the "ground" wire has been terminated so the lamp was not grounded, leading to potential risk of electrical shock. This is not acceptable! This cable does show sign of repair, but why did they intentionally left the ground wire unrepaired and exposed? Any exposed wire sprouting from a 220v outlet is extremely dangerous! This hotel should be immediately banned from any US based travel agency until improvements are made and electrical hazards are removed. I am a manager working for a top US electric company so I know what I am talking about.
Not that bad staff members but the facilities are good and the location is not bad
The hotel is very close to the main railroad station and is at a convenient location. The rooms are nice. The staffs are polite and efficient (the checkout process is much faster than many other Chinese hotels). The rooms are in nice condition. Although my room is quite small, I pay a relatively low rate and so have no complain on it. Based on the rate I paid, it exceeds my expectation.
I had a tough flight into Shanghai - Delta messed up my connections and I traveled for 21 h pure flying time. As a result I was late by 12 h to check in, in fact it was the next day when I arrived, and I had to catch a train in 3 h. So, I thought I used my room, if they'd let me in, just to take shower and lie down for a couple of hours. Not only that they let me do that, but they were extremely friendly, attentive, and this very short stay allowed me to recuperate and be ready for the next leg of my trip.The hotel is one block away from the train station, it's modern and they breakfast is very good.
Nice hotel by the train station in Shanghai, one of the cheaper hotels in the area, but still about 700 yuan a night. Managed by Accorhotels which is nice, since I have a platinum card with them, however the hotel as most Accorhotels in China do not know the benefits of the card, so sometimes hard to get them.
