This hotel is centrally located at the mall. It can be assessed via the metro, busses and taxi. There are many shops and eatery around and walking distance to th Bund. This is the place if you just want to have a quick feel of the Shanghai City. Cost is reasonable but do not expect excellent service. Treat is as a place for shower and sleep.
When we arrived they have overbooked our room so we stay at a suprime room at one night on 9 th floor. That room vas clean and nice. When we finally got our standard room at 16 th floor it was horrible. Every time we took a shower the whole bathroom floor was wett. The carpet in the room was dirty with stain and dust. We stayed for 20 days and the cleaner never clean the floor for the entire stay. She never change the bed sheets either for the entire stay.
Cheap hotel and close to everything. You get what you paid for;)
seventh heaven hotel is located right in front of the nanjing street has free internet but no wi fi its central loactiuon helps u to acess beautifull city of shanghai. walk on nanjing street is a delight
The Seventh Heaven is located at the west end of the pedestrianized portion of Nanjing Road, Shanghai's shopping show street. The hotel lobby is on the seventh floor of a building that has a department store on the ground level. It is literally as much in the middle of things as it is possible to get. It's easy walking distance to the Bund or the museums at People's Square, and one of the main metro lines runs right under Nanjing Road.
The hotel itself is standard cramped center-city fare. As might be expected for the location and the price, the rooms are very small. My "average" rating could have been "very good," however, had the rooms been cleaner. The rooms aren't dirty -- they're clearly cleaned every day -- but a degree of city filth is deeply embedded in them. On top of that the hotel allows smoking, so the rooms are a bit stale from that as well. Worst, there were small areas of mold in the shower stall.
With a little bleach and freshening up this could be a really great hotel, but as it stands it's not worth more than its budget price. That said, the price IS very good for what they offer in the location they offer it. I would stay there again. It's not terrible by any means. But it will disappoint people who are sensitive about scents or mold.
The desk staff do speak English.
I stayed here 13th through 16th April 2012 on the 10th Floor overlooking the East Nanjing St. . We had 2 bedrooms plus one living room plus one full bathroom at a very reasonable cost. We were 2 parents and one adult child and found the space very adequate and comfortable. The provided toothbrushes and toothpaste were very welcome. Even the combs came in handy. In the living room there was a hot water heater for making tea/coffee. A new bottle of water of about 3 liters was provided every day. The street below was almost as lively as Times Square p, NYC but we didn't hear a thing during the night. The hotel has a restaurant if you want breakfast there but the street is full of coffee shops or restaurants so you can go out or bring something in every day.
If I ever get the chance to see Shanghai again I will go back to the Seventh Heaven.
