Scholars Hotel （Northeast Gate） — Hotel in Shanghai

Let me start by saying - this hotel has changed hands and is now owned by H Hotel group - the new name is Huangxin International Hotel.||Yes, the hotel is old - yes, it is not perfect and time has added to this imperfection. But time had also added charm and dignity to this fantastic property.|Especially good is the service. Every request was met with a smile and the response of, "No problem". I am here on one week of self monitored quarantine before I can proceed to my next city - because I cannot leave my room, the concierge was kind enough to go to a nearby bank and exchange money for me...now THAT'S service.

The Hotel is a typical Chinese Hotel, so don't expect Western Breakfast and such benefits. People are friendly but nearly no English. Rooms clean and in a nice style, if possible try to get a room to the road side, otherwise no real window, in the night there is not too much traffic.||Location is very good, 20 Minutes from Hongqiao Airport and not too far from the subway-station. For taxi from airport, please check your change, the ride from the airport is less then 50 RMB and this is for a airport taxi very less. I was too sleepy to check it close to midnight and paid...
