Very friendly and helpful stuff. Jason gave me valuable recommendations and Tropic helped me out with rental of the bicycle twice. "No worries Sir" and even paid for me as I was not able to transfer money by the application.

Extremely clean and comfortable rooms. I have been to Shanghai many times and this hotel has the most comfortable bed and pillows I have slept on. I booked 2 rooms for 6 nights and everyone in my group agrees. The hotel is also very fast to respond to in-room requests and the laundry service is a big bonus. Special mention to Ron and Johnny for their hospitality and attentiveness. It has been a very memorable stay and we will definitely stay here again the next time we are in SH.

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
