I stayed in this hotel for 8 days on a business trip. Excellent location easy to get a taxi, or walk to subway stations, and also walking distance to many main tourist spots in Center of Shanghai. Two short blocks from the Bund - early morning jog along the Bund is enjoyable. Just outside the hotel are 3 convenient stores, one fruit store, and one fast-food store for dumpling and noodles. All provide excellent tasty food, drinks, and fruits. This makes up for the lack of any food, drinks, or coffee within the hotel.
This hotel at one time may be quite elegance but the facilities probably has not been updated for many years, showing the age. Hotel is pretty clean overall, but the shower area did show signs of moldy area and corner of the shower area leaks small amount of water out onto the floor. Refrigerator did not work. Table light did not work.
This hotel has no view of any street at all because all the building surrounding it and it takes a narrow driveway to drive up to the hotel front door.
