Location is good. 10 min walk to People’s Square and Nanjing Pedestrian Street. Well connected by Metro Line 1 Red, station Xinzha Road. If you use bike system, the Bund is 10 mins ride only; or you can walk through Nanjing Street and get to the Bund while seeing its many shops and attractions. Starbucks and other coffee shops, as well as restaurants, close to hotel, less than 5 min walk.
The hotel in general is OK. Confortable bed and spacious room, good bathroom and shower, good cleaning, provides complimentary mineral water.
Staff: nobody speaks even 1% English. Come on guys, I know it is China, you should, at least the basics… they just could not communicate with me. You receive hundreds of intl’ visitors, make an effort (I am not a native English speaker either…). Bad point of the hotel.
Breakfast: horrible. No options. Just fried eggs, some tomatoes and a few fruits. Regular filter coffee which was a bit burned and tasted bitter. Only manufactured bread (the one they sell in supermarkets). No fresh bakery. Sweet bakery like croissants of very low quality. And then Chinese food which I love but not for my breakfasts, maybe lunch or dinner. I suggest not to pay for thar breakfast at all.
