Hotel has extremely great location if you need to get to Shanghai International ExpoCentre, as the entry is 50 m from the hotel. It is also convenient if you arrive at Pudong airport - 35 minutes by car, or you can take metro line 2 or Maglev and then switch to line 7 (terminal station is 150 m from the hotel). Hotel is linked through a gallery with the shopping mall, food court and metro station. You can get to the old town and City by taxi in 20-25 minutes or you can take metro (approx. the same time). There is a Century park located near the hotel - great place to relax. Hotel itself has awesome facilities starting from rooms and ending with swimming pool, spa and children entertainment zone. Three restaurants and bar serve good food, and The Cook has buffet times twice a day. Staff was friendly and helpful, we had no problems with any requests during our stay. We chose room at The Club executive flour, and it included a lot of amenities and extra facilities (with lounge for business and relax purposes) which was definitely worth the money.

We are so grateful! My husband and I had a 12 hours day layover between flights and we wanted a place close to the airport to rest and leave our luggages. The owner was amazingly kind! He picked us up from the airport (we even arrived earlier and called him, and he arrived quickly). He even helped us call a taxi to go visit the city center. We asked him to bring us back to the airport and the was super punctual. We are very grateful to him. Also, the room was clean and really nice (super comfortable bed). We were in doubt since there were only 2 reviews when we booked, but our experience was great. Definitely recommended!!!

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
