The title says it all. Front desk staff can’t speak English. I don’t mind that. However, their attitude is I don’t give a f*#k approach. Cleaning staff is also bad. Forget to leave toilet paper and tea bags. Location is ok, but it’s in an alleyway which gets really dark at night. So women beware. First and last time for me staying in the lipstick on a pig junk hotel
Nearby metro station- xinzha station(line 1-exit 6), just 200m from hotel. A lot of restaurants at exit 1. Hotel easy to find, staff friendly, room clean & comfort, I’ll give another stay if I back to shanghai again.
1. Room stank of cigarettes
2. Hole in my curtain
3. Broken window
4. Backed up sink
5. Charged extra because I made my towels "too dirty" - their words
6. Smelly hallway
7. No one spoke basic English
8. Half roll of toilet paper replaced with another half roll of toilet paper daily.

Great location while a bit hard to find the entrance of the hotel. The building looks old while it is good condition inside. Walkable distance to city center, you could rent a mobike (bike) to travel around.
Tried to get the dripping aircon fixed. No one arrived to do it. Tried to get the non-working fridge fixed. No one arrived to do it.

Good hotel walkable to Nanjing Road
Hotel was good, bathroom was relatively clean. However, rooms need to be maintained better as we saw some mould building on the ceiling from airconditioner and we had issues with the toilet not flushing at times.
Overall, probably the cleaner one out of most average priced hotels.
Some staff could be friendlier but they all get the job done and some of them are lovely. The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable. Mostly clean, nothing to worry about just the odd small thing, but that might be to do with standards in China. Perfectly acceptable though. Bathroom very nice including shower and free mineral water every day. Bed on the hard side. Great location, 10 minutes walk from peoples square and 2 mins from nearest tube station. Room key worked fine, so did TV and aircon. Would recommend. Good option in shanghai. Around 50 mins from Pudong airport by taxi, approx. 160 Yuan. They want 400 Yuan deposit on arrival. Breakfast is 50 Yuan per day, did not go though.
My arrival took almost 45 minutes to check in as there was only one person working the front desk and the person running the front desk must have been the slowest typer in the world. I don't mean this in a rude way, but if people are walking in and there are more people there to assist for check in, that might be useful.
The room itself was okay. VERY open. A bathtub with no shades, same with the shower. The bed was comfortable, but the linens were torn. Also the ceiling in the hallway was peeling down, and there was decision to fix it at 6 in the morning with intense power tools. Like...why?
The location is very near a the Xinzha train station, which is super helpful and easy to get around. So a decent location if you care to get out and party.
The location is good, handy to subway stations and restaurants. The main issue was that the internet was very often too weak to be usable. The staff were unable to provide a solution to this problem.
The hotel was a bit hidden on a smaller street; taxi driver can miss it. There's not much in the immediate area, but it is only about a 5-7 min walk to all the action (metro, Nanjing Road shopping area, People's Square).
The staff were lovely and accommodating and all spoke English well. We arrived early and were allowed an early check in. Good value as well.
The room was more on the modern/boutique side which was nice; the lay out was different from other hotels I've been to in Shanghai, but good nonetheless. What stood out to me was that the internet was actually quite fast and reliable compared to other hotels in China. We just used the wifi but there was an option to hard wire as well.

This hotel had no gym. The refrigerator in room never got cold. The lobby didn't have the air conditioning on. Snack shop was closed. Only one elevator worked out of two. Internet was slow and would loose signal. Poor choices for TV channels.
