Vacuum hose used to connect sink to sewage pipe

The title says it all. Front desk staff can’t speak English. I don’t mind that. However, their attitude is I don’t give a f*#k approach. Cleaning staff is also bad. Forget to leave toilet paper and tea bags. Location is ok, but it’s in an alleyway which gets really dark at night. So women beware. First and last time for me staying in the lipstick on a pig junk hotel

Great location while a bit hard to find the entrance of the hotel. The building looks old while it is good condition inside. Walkable distance to city center, you could rent a mobike (bike) to travel around.

Good hotel walkable to Nanjing Road

Hotel was good, bathroom was relatively clean. However, rooms need to be maintained better as we saw some mould building on the ceiling from airconditioner and we had issues with the toilet not flushing at times. Overall, probably the cleaner one out of most average priced hotels.

Good location, clean safe and very comfortable.

Some staff could be friendlier but they all get the job done and some of them are lovely. The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable. Mostly clean, nothing to worry about just the odd small thing, but that might be to do with standards in China. Perfectly acceptable though. Bathroom very nice including shower and free mineral water every day. Bed on the hard side. Great location, 10 minutes walk from peoples square and 2 mins from nearest tube station. Room key worked fine, so did TV and aircon. Would recommend. Good option in shanghai. Around 50 mins from Pudong airport by taxi, approx. 160 Yuan. They want 400 Yuan deposit on arrival. Breakfast is 50 Yuan per day, did not go though.

酒店前台的刘小姐非常nice，我们下午2点半到达酒店，只有一间客房打扫好让我们入住，因为房间窗户正对屋顶非常脏，后来刘小姐给我们免费升级到高级大床房，king size的床非常舒服，淋浴也非常舒服。酒店步行到人民广场或大悦城都只需10分钟，离地铁站也很近，交通非常方便。

Eh...

My arrival took almost 45 minutes to check in as there was only one person working the front desk and the person running the front desk must have been the slowest typer in the world. I don't mean this in a rude way, but if people are walking in and there are more people there to assist for check in, that might be useful. The room itself was okay. VERY open. A bathtub with no shades, same with the shower. The bed was comfortable, but the linens were torn. Also the ceiling in the hallway was peeling down, and there was decision to fix it at 6 in the morning with intense power tools. Like...why? The location is very near a the Xinzha train station, which is super helpful and easy to get around. So a decent location if you care to get out and party.

Good but internet very weak

The location is good, handy to subway stations and restaurants. The main issue was that the internet was very often too weak to be usable. The staff were unable to provide a solution to this problem.

Good location, close to metro

The hotel was a bit hidden on a smaller street; taxi driver can miss it. There's not much in the immediate area, but it is only about a 5-7 min walk to all the action (metro, Nanjing Road shopping area, People's Square). The staff were lovely and accommodating and all spoke English well. We arrived early and were allowed an early check in. Good value as well. The room was more on the modern/boutique side which was nice; the lay out was different from other hotels I've been to in Shanghai, but good nonetheless. What stood out to me was that the internet was actually quite fast and reliable compared to other hotels in China. We just used the wifi but there was an option to hard wire as well.

This hotel had no gym. The refrigerator in room never got cold. The lobby didn't have the air conditioning on. Snack shop was closed. Only one elevator worked out of two. Internet was slow and would loose signal. Poor choices for TV channels.
