上海诺宝中心大酒店 — Hotel in Shanghai

For $30 a month I was not expecting too much & that is pretty much what I got. A cheap Chinese hotel.||||The lobby was clean enough and the staff helpful, I found someone that always spoke enough English to get by & they were able to call taxis for me.

There's also conference rooms, spa, tennis yard at this hotel. ||Compared to price. It's...

If you walk 20 minutes you will find very nice temple area and old street as well as a big park, art museum and a huge mall. However, next to the hotel there is not much but still some small shop and a good supermarket and pharmacy. Subway is maybe 200 meters away. Starbucks is in the hotel offering good coffee and western...
