I got the biggest room so the space was really amazing for me. Here are the pros and cons of the place:
Pros:
1. Mini fridge is refilled everyday. 1 Coke, 2 biscuits, 2 small waters, 2 sugarless tea. 2 medium bottle waters are given daily too.
2. House cleaning is daily and they change your towels daily too. You can ask for your cleaning to be in a specific time so they don’t come in at the usual 11am-12pm.
3. Amazing location, you can walk to wukuang and anfu road (which really is a great indie(but more recently mainstream) area to visit) in 15 mins. Everywhere in central Shanghai costs less than 30 yuan on DiDi.
4. The reception really does their best to give more value on your stay there. Early check ins, free complimentary breakfasts for long stays, even managed to get to use their Chinese phone number to call food delivery on Meituan.
5. There’s a manner coffee next door, and a 7-11 5-10 mins walk from the hotel.
6. There is a free laundry and drying service. Just throw your clothes into the washing machine, add in the detergent, and indicate your room number and that you want drying on a piece of paper. When you return into the hotel, the staff will have put your clothes from the washer into the dryer, and then fold them nicely into a plastic bag with your room number in the laundry room for your collection.
Cons:
1. The toilet sink is not inside the bathroom. If you can get over this quirk, then the stay will be great.
2. It wasn’t an issue for me, but the building houses a club, so some levels will get noisy on friday and weekends nights. Best to research what floor the club is so you can ask for floors that are not near it.
3. The aircon is not really adjustable… or at least I couldn’t really be bothered to figure it out.
4. Since the road outside the hotel is a busy road, it could be quite a rush to get into the DiDi on peak hours, especially when the driver comes from the opposite direction and you have to cross the road to get in.
All in all, a really solid hotel and I really enjoyed my stay there.
