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.

I originally booked this Hotel through Expedia as it ticked most of the boxes; free breakfast with room rate, swimming pool, fitness centre, and for the affordable room rate, not far from Metro stations: South Shaanxi Road (10 minutes) Huaihai Middle Road (7 mins) and Nanjing West Road (12 minutes) Pros: Nice location in a nice district of Shanghai with fashion shops, cafes, restaurants and craft beer bars plentiful. At least 3 metro stations on different lines in walking distance. Strong, Hot shower. Cons: Very disappointing buffet breakfast, not many choices, terrible coffee. If you want a real freshly ground espresso it's an extra 40 RMB! The beds are your typical Chinese rock-hard standard and do not cater for the feeble Western spine. Especially if you have chiropractic problems and not a side-sleeper. Something that the Hotel do not advertise is that if you want to use the pool and fitness center, they are not included in the standard room rate! it's actually 100 RMB extra to use the pool and fitness centre per use! They encourage you to upgrade to a deluxe room for 100 RMB extra per day for unlimited use if the pool and fitness center. Swimming caps in the pool are also mandatory! if you haven't brought your own, they will happily supply you one for an extra 100 RMB! Furnishing, cupboards, shelving and carpet in room is all dated and in dire need of renovation. I could go on, but when you only have a 1500 character limit!?

Perfect rating - Accurate - Adequate
3.5 stars is a perfect rating for this hotel. It is comfortable, has all the basics, and is located in a good area. The WiFi was strong, water pressure good, and bedding was slightly better than standard and slightly less than luxurious. Ideally the hotel needs a few decorative updates and better finishes as it looks a little dated, but you will not miss any of the typical accomodations.

We like almost everything (i.e. location, subway access, etc.), except the fact that there is a nice pool that guests are not able to use. It costs 100 per person per entry, which wasn’t mentioned on booking site.
