I stayed here for a night while my home's AC was being fixed, and I'd say it was excellent value for money. The front desk service was also quite thoughtful; they even upgraded my room type.
The room's window was pretty unique; although not very big, it offered a clear view of the entire Qian Tan area.
The room itself was spacious, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean.
Aside from various people coming and going, there was nothing else to complain about.

Anonymous UserThe hotel environment was clean and tidy. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful, and the uncle was approachable and attentive. There was some standing water in the bathroom, but after I mentioned it, someone came to fix it right away – thumbs up! The breakfast had a good variety and tasted delicious, and the kitchen auntie was also very friendly. It offers great value for money. I'll definitely stay here again next time. My only minor gripe is that there aren't enough washing machines and dryers, so you have to wait in line.

Guest UserThis hotel exceeded my expectations for its price and location. While the room was a bit small and the building a bit old, everything else was great. There's 24-hour security in the lobby, so safety is not an issue. The lobby is on the 6th floor, and the cleanliness is excellent. Laundry facilities are convenient, but it gets very crowded in the evenings. I woke up at 6 AM to do laundry and then discovered they also offer a laundry service at the front desk, which is a huge plus! The Line 10 subway makes it easy to get anywhere, and the 18 RMB all-day metro pass is a fantastic value. Across the street, the Wanda Plaza's 3rd and 4th floors offer delicious and affordable food. Highly recommend!

Posted on Aug 31, 2026|Double Bed Room (Deep Sleep 4D Memory Pillow + Refrigerator + Washing Machine + Microwave)
Guest UserThe views outside this hotel are absolutely stunning, beyond words. Just a few steps away, you can walk to the bridge and enjoy the river scenery, especially at night – it's so beautiful you won't want to go back to your room.
The room I was assigned was also very romantic, with a sloped attic window. I loved being able to lie in bed and look out the window; it's a feeling I really appreciate.
The breakfast was better than some other hotels I've stayed at. While it was still pretty standard Western and Asian fare, it tasted good and was more than enough. The front desk thoughtfully provided a coffee machine and an ice maker, so you can grab a coffee or ice whenever you want, which was really convenient.
My only minor issue with the room was that it was a bit humid and had a slight musty smell. However, if you're in Shanghai for a business trip and need to stay for an extended period, I actually think this place is quite suitable because the wardrobe in the room is very spacious and can easily accommodate a lot of belongings.
Another small issue was that the hotel hallways were quite warm. This was especially noticeable this season; every time I left my room, the walk to the elevator felt a bit stuffy and hot. But for me, this wasn't a severe enough problem to warrant a low rating for the hotel; it's an acceptable minor drawback.
One thing I found really convenient was the hotel's dedicated pick-up area. For instance, if you order takeout, get a delivery, or a rider brings something, it's placed in a designated area. You can go and check it yourself, making the whole process very easy.
To be honest, this place feels more like a hybrid between a hotel and a serviced apartment. The facilities are well-suited for long-term stays, and for business trips or extended periods in Shanghai, I think it's much more convenient than a typical hotel.
But I have to say it again: the location is fantastic. Seriously, the location is absolutely gorgeous. For this area, I think it's one of the best value-for-money options I've seen so far. Taking an evening stroll, the surrounding scenery is truly breathtaking.
The staff are also all lovely and friendly. The only thing is they sometimes seem quite busy, so online replies can be slow, and you might have to wait a while. However, once they do reply or you communicate with them in person, you'll find everyone is very pleasant and willing to help.
So, overall, my impression of this hotel is very positive. It's not without its flaws, but considering the location, price, environment, and convenience for long-term stays, I think these minor issues are perfectly acceptable.
My room didn't have a microwave or an individual washing machine, but that wasn't a big deal. The kitchen staff were very kind and always happily helped me heat up food. The hotel also has a public laundry room with irons available, so even for longer stays, it doesn't feel inconvenient.
What I loved most was the evening ambiance. Stepping out of the hotel at night, the riverside and surrounding scenery are truly captivating. The whole neighborhood is also very quiet, not noisy at all, making walks incredibly pleasant.
If you're looking for a beautiful, quiet place that's suitable for longer stays, I think this place is definitely worth considering.

Guest UserAlthough the hotel's facilities are quite old, the original quality is still there. The soundproofing and bedding are decent, offering better value for money than typical budget hotels. For breakfast, you can eat at the all-season hotel next door, and there's also free parking available.

Guest UserThe staff were genuinely helpful and not perfunctory. They patiently explained the pros and cons of different commuting routes to the industrial park when I inquired, and the check-in process was efficient from start to finish, with no unnecessary waiting. This hotel is particularly suitable for business travelers on a tight schedule.

Guest UserJust a few minutes' walk from the metro station and close to Huashan Hospital. The free laundry room is super practical, and the room was clean with no strange smells. The complimentary coffee, mineral water, and free laundry and drying facilities, plus free parking, are incredibly convenient. They even offered a thoughtful tea service upon arrival. Breakfast was both delicious and beautifully presented!
