Anonymous UserOrange Crystal is still very reliable, I've been choosing it for years. The decor is grand, the rooms are very clean, and the bath towels are fluffy. The floor mat, especially, is super comfortable. Breakfast also gets a 10 out of 10 – it's extensive, fresh, and delicious, looking very appetizing, and tastes great too. The service is also excellent; the cleaning staff always greet you with a smile. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time.

S.Yao1This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk to Zhongshan Park subway station, with Raffles City and Dragon Dream shopping malls practically on its doorstep, making getting around and shopping incredibly convenient. The rooms blend Shikumen (Shanghai-style stone-gate house) retro design with expansive panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the mini-bar drinks are complimentary. The front desk staff are warm and attentive, the breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of choices, and the 24-hour gym is well-equipped. Overall, it's modern and elegant, perfectly suited for both business and leisure travelers, offering outstanding value for money.

The transportation is very convenient. I wanted to upgrade my room type when I checked in, but unfortunately, all rooms were fully booked. The categorized room floors are good, and it so happened that the windows had privacy film applied that day, which provided even better insulation. Overall, it was a good experience.

Guest UserThis was my first time staying in a hotel. The room smelled lovely when I first walked in. However, it was quite humid during my stay, so I kept the dehumidifier on. The lovely scent then mixed with a strange odor, but that's on me for not reporting it sooner. Occasionally, a cat would come up to my room. One of the staff members at the front desk was especially sweet and even complimented my bag charm. The hotel isn't far from the subway station, which made getting around really convenient for my three-day trip. I had a wonderful time! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai.

Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was that the hallways didn't have air conditioning, even though it was still quite stuffy in the evening. The hotel uses a lot of carpeting and other fabric materials in the hallway decor. While this can help dampen noise, in hot, humid, and unventilated conditions, it easily leads to odors and mold. At the very least, during the rainy season, the dehumidifying AC in the hallways should be kept on.
Inside the room, some facilities were new, such as the TV, table and chairs, and electric kettle. However, it was clear that other facilities, like the air conditioning, were quite old. The AC, in particular, had an unbearable damp and moldy smell. I could only turn it on for a short period before having to switch it off. For guests sensitive to smells or with respiratory issues and allergies, this would likely be unacceptable. The bathroom also had a slight moldy smell and some drain odor. The exhaust fan was constantly on and couldn't be controlled by a switch, which I suppose is understandable given it's on the second floor.
The room's soundproofing was much better than the S-shaped bunk bed dorms, but the gap under the door was quite wide, so sounds from the hallway were clearly audible.
Additionally, public facilities like washing machines and dryers were not very comprehensive.
The hotel's advantages are its convenient location, not far from the subway (about a ten-minute walk), and easy access to buses. Most importantly, it offers excellent value for money and is in a good area, not far from Wukang Road and Jiaotong University. There are also Lawson, FamilyMart, and Domino's nearby. If you're looking for a private room with an en-suite bathroom while staying within budget, this is a suitable option. Yijian Senlin (One Forest) has been a long-standing youth hostel in Shanghai. I've always thought highly of it over the past seven or eight years. This was my first time staying in one of their private rooms with an en-suite, and I really hope Yijian Senlin continues to improve.

JidanxihongshijidanmianI arrived late, and the hotel called to confirm my arrival, which was a nice touch. Upon arrival, they upgraded my room, and the facilities far exceeded my expectations. It was incredibly good value for money! The room was very quiet, and I could even hear birds chirping outside in the morning. The front desk staff, especially the young man, was exceptionally professional and patient. Definitely a big thumbs up! 👍

Anonymous UserIf you are used to traveling in China, the room is just about acceptable. It was a Chinese student dormitory-level room, far from as clean as the photos on the website.
The website says the rooms are on the 16th, 19th, and 29th floors, but in reality they are on the 3rd to 30th floors, so we were assigned a room on the 10th floor.
The noise from lines 3 and 4 is loud, so if you are not used to it, it is best to avoid it.
We stayed for 4 nights and the towels were never changed, and the elevator to the entrance on the 2nd floor was broken both going up and down, so it was difficult to carry our luggage.
It was convenient that it was close to Exit 10 of Zhongshan Park.
