a seven-minute walk from the Shentayau metro, the hotel makes virtulally all the city's worthwhile sites accessible. there is no need to take a cab from the airport, as the S1 from there, with a change at the last station and a transfer to the number 1 line gets you to shentayau. while there is a 440 -meter walk at the terminus of the airport train, there is an escalator at the shentayau station which will zip you up the 94 stairs. from the exit (only one), turn right, walk one long block, turn left , and go another 170 meters. on the way you will pass a shopping mall, as well as many other shops. rooms are spacious with all amenities. concierge fox (yes, fox) speaks english, and can give info on directions to all major sites. if i'd ever return, i'd stay here.
