汉庭全季酒店 — Hotel in Shanghai

If you are the kind of traveller that spends the least amount of time in their hotel room as possible, and only wants a quick feed to begin the day, then this is the hotel for you. It's conveniently located in Jing'an District, next to the temple, and walking distance to two subway lines (2 and 7). There's a wide range of restaurants nearby too, and a convenience store (Family Mart) next door.||||The breakfast buffet is small, but does include wholemeal bread (the Chinese love sweetened white bread), bacon or sausage, coffee (in the smallest cups available) and orange juice. If you ask the chef they will also cook an egg or two (no omelette though). ||||Not many foreigners know about this hotel, which will make you a bit of a celebrity. Consequently, you'll receive more smiles than the average guest.||||The rooms are all on split levels, meaning that your bedroom is over the bathroom. This is only a problem if you have bad knees or are over 6'8". The rooms could do with a coat of paint, but that is the only significant cleanliness issue.||||Best of all, the price is around 350 RMB a night (if you have a corporate rate), which is only 56 USD for a night. ||||One last note, you will receive a prostitution business card under the door during your stay. Yes, prostitution is illegal in China, and the hotel must certainly know of this practice, but if you haven't figured out that China is a country of contradictions, then you should be staying down the road at the Hilton. The Hanting Seasons is for the...

I spent one night here in late April 2014. The hotel is hard to find as it is off the main road. Most cab drives will be able to find it for you but may drop you off at the curb and you will have to walk 200m or so to the front doors. The lobby was very clean and modern looking. It seemed to be a safe hotel as you had to use your hotel key to access the elevator. The staff was very friendly but had a difficult time locating my reservation. I had to show them the confirmation from cTrip before they found it. In their defense I do not speak any Chinese. The room was clean but very small. The beds were very hard as most beds in China are. The shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. The hotel is walking distance from several shops and restaurants as well as the popular Jing'an Temple and the subway. Nearby there are a couple of Americanized restaurants as well as an Americanized grocery store. There are tons of Chinese restaurants and shops. It is definitely a budget hotel ($50/night) but as I said earlier clean and safe. I left my Osprey Meridian travel bag with no locks at the front desk while I explored the nearby areas after I checked out and it was returned to me safe and sound. If you are looking for a safe, clean and inexpensive hotel in Shanghai this is a...

Spent 1 night before company's meeting as it is close where our meeting holds. ||||The overall impression is terrible. It doesnt' look like anything speical compares with other budget hotel brands, as Hanting Seasons are so called higher level than others which I absolutely don't find.||||Location - Close to Jing'an Temple which is okay, it hides inside of a yard which you have to check carefully as lots of motels are nearby.||||Service - Front Desk kept answering personal phone call while C/I. No eye contact, no special care, cold manner, nothing special at all.||||Room - It is a very unique complex room with stairs in, bathroom on the 1st floor and bedroom on 2nd, not very much sparious, very noisy from the AC, and no closet.||||Restaurant - Poor serivce with very...
