Worth It
My go- to hotel in Shanghai- perfect location, 1 block from the famous Nanjing Rd, very upscale property, half block from metro line 2, direct to airport, luxurious rooms- everything is gold or bronze plated, but it works in a gaudy way. I’ve been coming here for years, and the room furniture and fixtures are showing wear. Otherwise, a great property. TIP: book a deluxe room, not much more but very large!

A great hotel
The location is great, just a 3-minute walk from the subway station or Nanjing East Road. The hotel is beautiful and my room was comfortable. I really want to give this hotel 10 points, but the hotel charged me $8.44 for losing one of my room cards, which made me uncomfortable and unhappy.
