“not too bad for the price i paid”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2011

First off, i managed to get a very good rate through booking.com. Only at 239 RMB per night, which as it turned out was a wrong rate (apparently the hotel had increased its rates but the website hadn't). But i just so happened to be checking out with the person who appeared to be the manager, this wasn't a problem, though she did make a couple of phone calls to clarify the rate. AND it helps that i speak enough mandarin to steer my way out of such situations. So at such a price, i thought that the accommodation was quite a steal. Yes, the room was rather small (i might have been better off in the Ibis in the Old City in terms of size), the bathroom definitely flooded a fair bit after each shower, and my room did have that musty mix of wet wood and stale smoke smell. But at least it was a clean place, and they met my booking request for a room that is quiet and has a window (note not all rooms do). I liked that it was near enough to the bus terminal and metro stations from which you could get to/from the airport and hongqiao train station (to get those "gao" trains to hangzhou) because you are backpacking then it is but a short walk. also french concession area (luwan) is just a short 20 min walk away.

“OK. No window”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2011

It's clean and cheap. My single standard on the first floor had no window. Maybe the rooms on the higher floors have windows? First floor very loud. Wooden floors in the hallway mean guests can hear everything. When the phone rings in the lobby, new guests arrive, someone comes in late --- can hear everything!! Very clean. Would stay again if needed but still looking for a cheap place to stay with a window.

“Good economical choice for short stays in Shanghai”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2010

Rooms are small, but clean and comfortable and the place has an appealing feel for the price. I booked online and had no problems with reservations and checkin even though I arrived quite early. Great location off Nanjing Rd for quick overnight shopping trips - I used to stay at another nearby hotel which has a separate "new" building with rooms around the same price as here, but it was much shabbier. This will be my new easy choice. Attractive entrance area with friendly/efficient front desk, breakfast buffet (nothing special, but cozy setting and good strong coffee!), 5 min walk to metro. To find the entrance, locate the well-known "Big Bamboo" bar at 132 Nan Yang Lu - across the street (Nan Yang) enter a small alley, the hotel is on the right side.

“Convenient location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2010

Stayed 2 nites here in Sept 2010. Good location as near to the Jingan Metro Station (10min walk) which is also where the City Terminal Bus Station is located. Airport buses to Pudong and Hongqiao Airport from City Terminal are cheap and convenient. Small hotel which is more like motel, rooms are small but clean and shower is good. Avoid staying ground floor as can be noisy.
There are a few bars in the area so would avoid area if travelling with children. Otherwise area is convenient and staff speak fairly good English and are pretty helpful. Only grouse was they refused to let me leave luggage there for a few hours aft checkout = apparently this was due to the Shanghai expo that they were not allowed to accept luggage aft checkout (according to hotel staff).
As it is off a small street, it can be quite difficult to find and many taxi drivers dont know where it is. Its in a small lane next to entrance to JingAn fitness club (Jing An ti yue guan).
It is good value for location.
