Joyous Hotel

Decent room in good location, literally across the road from no 2, 7, and 14 metro lines ... Very nice and helpful reception person. Unfortunately, internet speed is too slow to have a simple video call.

Except for the location, l do not recommend this hotel. It is located on second floor in a commercial building. Upon arrival, one has to walk up a few stairs to the elevator, which takes you to the second floor and a filthy reception area.  During check-in, l was told that l had been upgraded to a better room, free of charge. While in bed, turning off the lights, l discovered that behind the curtain, the room had no window. Being too tired to get up, next morning l requested a room with a window for my remaining two days, which l did get for a RMB100 upgrade per night. The room and the whole place smelled of mildew and were not clean. Towels and sheets were washed, but were worn and had stains that obviously could not be removed. I expected delivery if some items that l was told never arrived. Maybe it did, or maybe not. My recommendation: Stay away!

Perfect for a short period time in Shanghai

Some towels are worn out.

The only great point about this hotel was the location. The room only had hot water one day out of the whole stay. The ventilation of the building was horrible, as there was no windows so the air in the room felt a bit heavy. The cleaning lady came to the room one day at 4pm while we were talking a nap, and just opened the door and left it open without even checking if there was someone inside... I came to close the door on my underwear and when she saw the door open she insisted on and knocked on the door and said that she wanted to clean thr room, to what we politely refused feeling very confused about the timing and the unexpected invasion.

It was okay for the price considering its central location
