Jinjiang Metropolo Hotel Classiq, Shanghai, Jingˊan — Hotel in Shanghai

One night. Functional. Reasonable value. Hotel is a bit ‘dated’ but in a historic 1937 postmodern building. Family suite room clean and well appointed, I asked for the additional bed and housekeeping fixes up very nicely. The 3 breakfasts were included in the price . Typical Chinese breakfast buffet, with a good coffee machine, fortunately because one in the room did not work or I couldn’t figure it out. Bed not too hard by chinese standards, I like soft but I found it comfortable nonetheless. Slight odor of cigarettes smoke in the room and corridors, even though it’s a nonsmoking room.

I have regularly stayed at this hotel this year. It is a smaller boutique hotel in a good location, with reasonable access (10 min walk) to metro and an express bus service (#71) that runs between HongQiao and The Bund. ALSO - the metro line to Disney connects at the local stop, so can get out there in ~40 minutes. Rooms have interesting design, comfortable beds, and are relatively quiet considering the location next to an expressway.The staff is helpful. There is a small, well maintained gym on the 7th floor that doesn't have a lot of equipment, but more than adequate for my needs. Gym gets very little use. An evening happy hour 4-6PM with complimentary beer and wine. It checks all the boxes for what I look for in a moderately priced...
