My room was beautiful, and so is the lobby, and the location is central and excellent. Many staff spoke English. But the front desk was not very welcoming or helpful— they immediately started trying to upsell me, confused me about breakfast, and rushed me. The cost of breakfast is highway robbery for China. Compared to other hotels I stayed at, I didn’t think it was all that great. There are lots of food options nearby, good shopping, not too far from the Bund. Great for a quick stop in Shanghai at the end of my big trip around China.

Bad service at the front office
The front office outrightly rejected the request for check-in at 12noon citing only that check-in time is at 2pm. The reception did not even bother to check whether any rooms are available. Guests from overseas do frequently arrived at odd hours of the day. Some improvements required for the front office staff to handle such requests more tactfully. And when it was time to check-in at 2pm, the front office staff are overwhelmed with the long-queue of hotel guests checking-in all at the same time. Adequate staffing should be deployed to ensure smooth check-in by guests.
