Very modern, comfortable. Ideal for a short stay while transiting through Pudong. I really liked the modern bathroom and room amenities. The check in and check out were also very fast and convenient. Also the ability to takę the luggage trolley from the terminal to the room floor.

A hotel with one of the finest levels of service and hospitality we’ve experienced anywhere in the world (and we travel a lot!). The staff were warm, professional, and did everything possible to make our vacation perfect The cleanliness was outstanding, and the rooms were very comfortable We celebrated our wedding anniversary and were gifted breakfast for four, a hot dinner, and afternoon refreshments, along with treats in the room and a beautiful flower bouquet Free laundry service! Our clothes were returned to the room the same day, freshly cleaned The hotel is very quiet, easy to get around from, and the staff were constantly smiling—both in the lobby and the dining room—always creating a wonderful atmosphere, even though some of them didn’t speak English and we communicated through a translation app Many hotels around the world could learn from you about true guest service. Thank you to the entire team—we had a wonderful stay

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
