Sushi Light Luxury Hotel

The location of this hotel is way greater than my expectation. Many foods stalls around, very near to Yu Garden and the bund in walking distance. I’ll be back to this hotel again at my next trip. The staff is very very helpful and friendly.

Overall, it was very good and extremely worth the price. The location is excellent, with an elevator to access the building. The hotel entrance is at the back of the building (not on the main road). Taking the elevator to the 4th floor leads directly to the lobby. The staff doesn’t speak English, but communication is possible through translation apps. The service is satisfactory; the staff isn’t overly eager to assist, but they aren’t rude either. I particularly liked the curtains in the room; there’s a switch at the head of the bed to open and close them. The room door isn’t very soundproof; you can hear people talking outside. However, the walls seem to block sound well, as I didn’t hear any noise from adjacent rooms. Rooms: The room is spacious, making it convenient to open a large suitcase. It has a modern and elegant decor. Cleanliness is acceptable, with housekeeping cleaning daily, though not meticulously. There’s no unpleasant smell and no insects, which is satisfactory. Nearby activities: Nearby is Yuyuan Garden, just a short walk away. It’s a beautifully decorated garden (there’s an entrance fee, 30 yuan per person if I recall correctly) and has various shops around it, such as milk tea shops, yogurt shops, ice cream shops, souvenir shops, restaurants, clothing and shoe stores, etc. Safety: Since it’s near Yuyuan Garden, a tourist attraction, there are quite a few police officers around, making it feel safe to walk at night. Walkability: After exiting the metro and crossing the main road, you reach the building where the hotel is located. Just walk around to the back of the building to find the hotel entrance. It’s very close to the metro. Food & Drinks: There’s a restaurant under the hotel building that’s quite good. I tried the xiaolongbao and noodles there one morning. There’s another restaurant opposite the hotel entrance, and several more in the vicinity. Noteworthy details: The hotel doesn’t provide the following: hair dryer, scales (both personal and luggage), lotion, and refrigerator.

Close to Yuyuan, and bund, two of the major Shanghai attractions, daily cleaning services, free to use laundry services. Very clean. More smile would be more welcoming. Overall can’t really complain. Will stay again.
