We chose this hotel because of the location on the map. We wanted to be close to the Bund, and its location did not disappoint as the Bund was just a short walk away. |Our room was a good size with comfortable twin beds and had tea and coffee making facilities. It had a nice, sized bathroom. The decor was not of ultra modern style, but this was what we were expecting having read the reviews. We found the decor to be charming. We were given a room overlooking the back of the hotel, and although the view was of a small construction area, our room was absolutely fine and was very quiet, being far away from the street. We felt this hotel met all of our needs and offered excellent value for money, being so close to the Bund. |The highlight to me was the lovely swimming pool, which I found to be clean| and the perfect temperature. Don't forget to bring your swimming hat because you will need these to use hotel pools in China. We purchased 2 at the hotel. We found it difficult to find hotels within our budget during our visit to China that offer a swimming pool - so enjoy the lovely one here as we did. |We didn't book the breakfast package, so I can not comment here.| We brought a round of drinks in the reception bar, and my son said these were typical hotel bar prices, so we only did this once. |Overall, we had an excellent stay here, which I can recommend, and we would not hesitate to return to in...

Read moreI was really excited about staying at this hotel, but the stay was an overall disappointment. The room is nice, but it overlooked a construction site and construction starts at 6:00 am in the morning. When I asked to be placed in another room I was told there were none available, even though there were clearly rooms showing as available online. ||Breakfast was subpar, which falls in line with the subpar so-called Michelin Starred restaurants they have in the hotel. I was pretty certain I booked a room with breakfast, but apparently I booked a reservation without breakfast. After some back and forth with the hostess, I was told that I could eat at the pitiful buffet, but before I could even put a fork of food in my mouth, the hostess came to the table to have me sign a bill for a room charge! There was no table service whatsoever as the waitstaff was virtually nonexistent, and it’s more of a get up and get water yourself type of situation. ||Overall, between the construction, horrible view and pitiful excuse for a breakfast that is not included, I cannot and would not recommend this hotel. In fact, I am pretty sure a hotel stay anywhere else in Shanghai would be a better experience than what I experienced here. So do yourself a favor, stay...
