Hotel Equatorial Shanghai — Hotel in Shanghai

This hotel is awful and if they are 4 stars, then people give stars like candies||The hotel has a good location and the view can be nice dependingon the room you have but after that... Well, it's disappointing.||We get our first room dirty (check below the bed and you can find one time use shoe, food, old napkin, etc.)||The TV is so slow and boring. Kids have nothing.||The bathroom is pretty old and sometimes smelly but the worth is that the bath is broken.||Finally, the worst is their so called family friendly hotel. Well they say it to look good but they are not even understanding the meaning of what they say.||They do have a swimming pool yes. But beware if you are with a child (2/3yo) from the opposite sex, then you can't go shower and change him.|The solution of the hotel is: let you child alone or leave to an employee.||Yes! To parents who read this comment, do you imagine yourself leaving your 3yo kid go toilet, changing or showering with an employee???||The hotel management (well, tbh they have the title but not the skill) didn't even want to speak.||So if you are international travellers, you know Shanghai got plenty of hôtels from 0 to 5 stars and most of them will be better than this fake stuff. Imo, go for jinjiang or international groups.||To finish, this hotel is a total secret. No website, no app, no management name, no email. Just a phone number.||To the hotel: You are supposed to work in the field of hospitality, you are a shame for people who give there best making this field better.|Go look at what others are doing and try to be customer oriented and not only...

5 star based on my own experience staying here. first of all the location is excellent (less than 5 minutes walk south of Jing;an Temple). Taking the location into account, the prices of rooms are really good value for money.||||The hotel itself is quite large with a few amenities although I did not get to use them all as only stayed the 1 night but from what I saw, everything was as it is described in listings. The ir is a very plush looking lounge bar on the lobby floor.||||Opted to book a club level room and it was pretty good, with excellent service at the desk. The room itself was accurately described and faced Jing'an Temple, which is nice to look at in the evening.||||Club lounge access was not the usual affair of a buffet but was very pleasant in the manner that they do it and as it is included in the price, its a nice benefit to enjoy, mid afternoon. Breakfast, was very good with loads on offer - Asian and Western, not over populated either which is always nice!||||One thing to mention (that is not mentioned on booking sites) is the (free) parking. Parking charge is quite high at 120 RMB per day for hotel guests, however if booking a club room, the parking is free. ||||Som overall, difficult to beat this place in terms of value for money considering the area that it is in. Service is 5 star quality and even though this hotel is not in the same league as some of the other famous brands nearby, it is a really good choice if looking for somwhere...

The hotel staff are quite friendly and quick for check in. The hotel is a short walk to Jing An Temple station and close to a number of restaurants we enjoyed. In the immediate vicinity there is not much but there is a pedestrian walkway that goes over the highway to get to the malls and sights of Jing An. During our stay in December 2021 there was a little bit of construction in the area but this did not take away from our stay.||The rooms were well furnished, comfy and the right temperature during our stay in Shanghai. We mainly booked it for the value and were pretty happy with the arrangement. The elevators were quick and the pool was pleasant as well. We did find that the changerooms by the pool could use a good cleaning and updating.||One of the best parts of this hotel was its location for taxi pick up and drop off. We found it pretty easy to...
