The day we arrived it was raining steadily. We just came in from the airport on the subway, and even though the hotel is close to the subway entrance the 1 block walk left us very wet. The staff was very kind and very helpful. Due to the situation with the weather, we wanted to get some of our travel clothes laundered. The staff very cheerfully complied, but also informed us that due to the weather many other guests were also laundering clothes and it would take more than a day for our washed clothes to be returned. We agreed, as we were there staying for 2 nights. We gave our clothes to be laundered to the front desk girls in a bag we collected as a souvenir from a previous city. When the laundry was returned to us the next day they switched out our souvenir bag for a generic plastic bag. We spoke with the front desk staff to have our souvenir bag returned to us, which they did.
They offered breakfast in the cost of the booking. The breakfast food was very good, again the staff very friendly and attentive. The room was clean and had excellent AC which we were able to adjust to our liking. They also offered complimentary sweet soup in the evening, which we took them up on, and the soup was very nice. And to add to the service, they offered foot basins, which were a welcome addition to two foot tired travelers, as a thing about visiting China a lot of walking is part of the experience.
Overall I would rate the hotel a 3.75/5. It's ideal for budget travelers that don't mind missing out on some luxury amenities, plus the location is excellent for exploring Shanghai as it is so close to a metro stop. And the staff go out of their way to be in service, which is always a welcome experience. Plus neither of us speak Mandarin, but most if not all of the staff have translation apps so speaking/communicating with the staff was easy.
