"Absolutely fantastic hotel, spacious room, excellent location and an amazing breakfast.
Within walking distance to pedestrian street and nearby shopping and restaurants. Several metro stations within 10mins walk away and the Bund also a 20min walk away. You could not ask for a better location really, and the upper floors gave a decent view over the city skyline.
The staff were very helpul and perfectly pleasant. We had no issues at all even with the obvious language barrier, they seemed appreciative that we were trying even though all we knew was barest basics.
Breakfast had foods to cater for several cultures. There was some shanghai / chinese based fair, what I've taken to probably be Korean based given the kimchi? & European continental fare. So you could have cereals or congee, pastry or pork buns, fried breakfast or salad & fruit - or any combination really. It set us up for the long days really nicely.
My only gripe is that aside from english breakfast tea there was no other teas available. I love a cup of tea in the morning, but detest eng breakfast. Fortunately the coffee was good. However if someone wanted a hot drink that wasn't caffeinated there wasn't any options.
My only other criticism was that the air con / heating didn't allow itself to be adjusted (or wss broken), the room was quite warm, almost uncomfortably so, and although we kept the window open alot, at the height we were at, it (the window) didn't open very much.
Would stay there again!"
