My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were comfortable and had nice amenities, but they were a bit warm. The service was helpful but could use improvements in English proficiency. The location was convenient with easy access to downtown Shanghai, although the hotel itself felt a bit dated. The dining experience offered a decent selection, albeit a bit hectic. The facilities were fairly good, but there were some issues with the pool access.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, dressing gowns, slippers, and a safe. However, they were not very large but still cozy, with a desk and mini bar provided. The service, while not the best I've experienced, was acceptable overall. The location, though a bit dated, offered a relaxing atmosphere for unwinding after a long day, and the staff was pleasant. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a good variety of food options available. The facilities were adequate, though nothing extraordinary.

This hotel had very spacious rooms with an excellent layout, appearing clean and tidy, though could benefit from a little updating. The view of the city streets was nice, and the room itself was very large, modern, and well furnished. The service from the professional and polite staff was commendable, but there were some issues with certain staff members. The location was rated highly for its easy access to downtown Shanghai and the riverfront despite lacking in hospitality and food quality. The dining experience offered a good variety of Western and Chinese selections, though it fell short of some expectations. The facilities were standard but could use some improvements.

The hotel rooms are really nice and clean, especially when the spotlight above the bed is on. The breakfast is buffet style. The service from the black suits staff was very helpful and pleasant, reminiscent of Japan, although the Reception and middle management staff in the same attire were slow and not as friendly. The location is in Shanghai downtown, looking impressive and relaxing, though a bit dated. The dining experience had a good selection but was busy and chaotic, suitable for accommodating different tastes. The facilities provided Dutch products.
