A super fancy hotel in 90 era, all excellent staff

So I booked for a classic room (lowest) but got upgraded to executed because the gym was underconstruction. The upgraded room was on 22nd floor and it was updated and clean, not huge but I was by myself and king size bed was more than enough. The staff are all super friendly and helpful, and they are all super eager to help whenever I have some questions. My breakfast experience however could have been improved as both of my day there consisted of some loud arguments either between staff and staff or staff and customers while we were eating. Now I supposed I went during a low season so it might seem casual but I would like my breakfast to have less commotion and so was another guest there

ゴールデンウィークの期間に4泊お世話になりました。客室はSuperior Double Roomを利用しました。 移動は主にタクシーを利用しましたが、立地が良く、虹橋空港からも比較的近いためアクセスは良好です。また、主要な観光地へも移動しやすく便利でした。 ホテル周辺にはコンビニがあり、少し歩くとスーパーやデパートも利用できるほか、レストランやバーも多く、滞在中の食事や買い物には困りませんでした。今回は朝食を付けず、ホテル周辺で地元の朝食を楽しみました。特に、ホテル前の通りを淮海路方面へ10分弱歩いた場所にある「小龍鳳餐室」は、ボリュームがありコストパフォーマンスに優れており、コンパクトながら清潔でサービスも行き届いていて印象に残っています。 ホテル自体は一部にやや古さを感じる箇所もありましたが、客室・共用部ともに清潔に保たれており、水圧も十分でした。スタッフの対応も良く、チェックイン・チェックアウトもスムーズで、全体を通して快適に過ごすことができました。 一方で、遮音性についてはやや気になる点がありました。エレベーターに近い部屋だったため、到着音が大きく、客室内まで聞こえてきました。ただし、隣室の物音は特に気になりませんでした。 ジムはプールに隣接しており、マシンやフリーウエイト、ストレッチスペースも備えられていて充実しています。ただし、管理やメンテナンスについてはやや改善の余地があるように感じましたが、利用に支障が出るほどではありませんでした。 なお、Wi-Fiについては通信無制限のeSIMを利用していたため使用していません。 総じて、立地・利便性・快適性のバランスが良く、安心して滞在できるホテルだと感じました。

Praktisk og bra nok

Flott hotell. Personalet var veldig hyggelige, men strevde med engelsk. Spa med massasjetilbud, basseng og treningsrom. Bassenget var mer egnet til trening enn velvære. Benyttet oss av hotellets vaskeritjeneste noe som var dyrt, men nødvendig. Fin beliggenhet på hotellet med korte avstander med Didi til de største severdighetene. Lett å bli plukket opp/kjørt til hotellet. Separat do og dusj. Gode senger. Gode lademuligheter. Noe forbedringspotensial på renholdet. Prøvde den ene restauranten (der frokosten holdes) og denne var både overpriset og smakløs.

Awful, won’t return.

Room smelled like smoke. Had to pay extra to use the swimming pool that’s advertised as part of the hotel which I think is outrageous to be frank. Bed was rock hard. Just not a nice hotel at all compared to others in Shanghai for the same price.

极度不适，歧视中国人

带日本人同住此酒店，晚9点办理入住，前台不讲给日本人的房间做了升级，我主动拿日本人房间房卡前台黄姓男服务员大声阻止。给日本人客人升级不讲，还不充许自己换房，明显歧视同胞。后与张姓值班经理沟通解释理由为服务员为新人，酒店陪训不到位，又以公安查房为由搪塞。口头声称无歧视，所做所为让我做为海外生活多年的中国人感觉极度不适。
