Great location. Very accessible to the main shopping strip and easy walk to the Bund. The hotel has a classic grand feel to it. Check in took some time, they will hold bags until check in time (which they are strict with unless you pay extra for early check in). The room was spacious and considering the age, was very clean. The bed was comfy. There was no bad smells. We included breakfast with our stay, there was a decent selection of hot Asian dishes as well as the usual bread, eggs, bacon, salad bar. The food was pretty meh but saved us going out each morning

Loved it!!
Prime location, luxurious room, friendly staff, and they spoke English, which was a plus. Got newspaper delivered to our door every morning. If you like Xiao Long Bao or crabs, be sure to try their restaurant on the 2nd floor.

Excellent location, can't ask for a better location in Shanghai. Room is comfortable, food in the restaurant is great, but a bit pricy. However, you can always find other great choices on the street, as there are plenty of great restaurants nearby.
