I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and modern but had a slight smoke smell, and the location was quite central and convenient for exploring the city. However, the service was unfriendly and unhelpful, and the dining experience left much to be desired with chaos and poor value for money.

The hotel offers modern rooms but slightly smaller than Western standards, equipped with all necessary amenities like iron, fridge, and safe. The service, while not the best, covers essential needs like car hire and laundry. The location is convenient in the commercial district but requires a 15-20 minute walk to the nearest subway station. The dining experience varies from excellent to poor with a mix of Chinese and American items. The facilities are adequate but not exceptional.

My stay at this hotel was really enjoyable overall. The rooms, though somewhat noisy if neighbors are loud, were clean and presentable, despite being a bit dated. The staff were generally polite, but I found them to be competent yet not overly helpful. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes.

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights and had a mixed experience. The rooms were decently sized with two queen beds, a bit worn out but tidy for the price paid. They were quiet, spacious, and well-equipped with a minibar and work desk on the 24th floor. The service was good, with staff trained by their sister hotel in Singapore, although they weren't immediately present upon my arrival. The location was convenient, an easy walk from the subway station, making it simple to explore different parts of Shanghai. The dining options were varied but sometimes overcrowded with tour groups. Overall, the facilities were adequate, providing everything necessary for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were equipped with everything I needed, including an umbrella for sudden rain, which came in handy on our last afternoon. The minibar, iron and ironing board, tea making facilities, and a work station with wired Internet connection were convenient. However, the service left much to be desired as the staff lied to me and offered no assistance, instead laughing at my situation. The location, though in a great neighborhood for exploring, was a bit challenging for getting around without a car. The dining experience was not great, leaving much to be desired, especially considering the price. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is situated in the center of Shanghai, close to Jing An temple, offering spacious and pleasant rooms equipped with US sockets. The service was friendly overall, although the concierge was not consistently available. The dining options were decent with a mix of Western and Asian cuisine. The location is central but may require transport for major sites. Some areas of improvement include slow service for certain amenities and a walk to the nearest metro station.
