Rude check in staff
The staff at reception during checkin were so rude, so disinterested in the customer. Could not have made you feel
Welcomed if they tried. The rest of the staff were genuinely helpful but whole experiences ruined by the rude reception team

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.

Good location - near Nanjing Road
Location is good BUT the GPS is not that good. The Didi car services and food delivery that I ordered often got routed to the hotel next door.

DON’T STAY HERE!
Rude employees. Room not cleaned over 5 day stay. Sheets not changed. Argued with guests. Better hotels right across the street. Crown Plaza, Radisson, etc. Used to stay here for business but NEVER AGAIN!! Looks good but it has gone down. Try other places. Don’t get fooled like I did.

Always a great service from this hotel. I always arrive early and they always have a room ready for me- the main reason I always choose this hotel. Great location for sightseeing, easy 2 minute walk from line 2 exit 4 and good value.
