    Great location, very comfortable beds. Breakfast was very good with a wide variety of options (both Chinese and Western). Would definitely recommend.

    Bathroom was dirty, staff was very cold and distant with no above and beyond. In general the hotel is old. Breakfast was just ok.

    Location is great, beds and linen are very comfortable

    Conveniently located in the center of Shanghai in the Jing’an district. Has one of the best traditional Shanghai restaurants in the hotel, a big breakfast area with many options, both western and Asian. All hotel staff ( reception, restaurant staff, lounge staff, doorman) are very professional, friendly, and helpful, especially the doorman since we traveled with elders, they always helped them getting on and off of a taxi. We had booked a stay for 5 nights but we enjoyed the hotel so much, that we extended by another night. A big plus is that the hotel also provided airport transportation which was cheaper than city taxi and DiDi. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Shanghai next.

    There was unfortunately a pervasive smell of cigarettes in my bathroom some of the time, obviously related to whoever was in the room adjacent or above me. As I suspect this may have been a problem throughout the hotel I didn’t request a room change, however it would be good if management could address this. As others have noted I was also charged an extra amount upfront to cover expenses such as minibar or room service. As I was there for some days in my case this meant a surprise extra $800. I of course got the unused portion of this returned, but it would be good to tell guests in advance that this charge was being applied. Also the gym and pool were a bit tired and the gym equipment needs an update. And on,y one non-CCTV English-speaking TV channel (CNN) which got a bit tedious.

    Fantastic location in downtown Jing’an near the temple and Jing’an Park as well as West Nanjing Rd and many of the main shopping precincts. If you need groceries there is a downstairs supermarket with high-quality products in a nearby shopping mall as well as Starbucks, Blue Frog and Pain Chaud for western-style food and coffee. All staff were friendly and polite, and my room was comfortable and clean. Bathroom amenities were fine and of the bulk variety for shampoo etc but this is in line with the hotels eco-friendly approach. I had room service a couple of times and it was delivered promptly and within the time frame stated. Overall a pleasant place to stay when in Shanghai.

    The breakfast was of very low quality. All juices had added sugar and the stuff did not offer an alternative. Food not up to the hotel’s level.

    Perfect location, friendly stuff, impeccable facilities.

    Room cleaning starts a bit too early. After breakfast I went back to the room, the cleaning has started and I had to wait in the lobby.

    The location is very nice, easy to access, close to Jing an temple and the station... You will find everything you need around the hotel

    As 5 star hotels go this was relatively standard. Had to frequently ask for more water in the room and didn't notice the small sign saying you had to leave towels on the floors to get them replaced.

    Location is excellent. Close to the action without being extremely busy.

    Operations at the breakfast restaurant was a bit poor at with no staff there to guide the guests to tables, thus a bit loss at where to sit and what tables were available

    Location was great, staff were friendly, breakfast was with varieties.
