    - walls are too thin, i can hear sounds from the other room - door is also quite thin, i can hear people walking and talking so often at night. it can disturb your sleep if you go to bed early

    - very near Nanjing Rd - clean room - not very expensive - they have a common area where you can work

    The room was a bit smaller than it appeared in the photos.

    I had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was very convenient. Everything I needed was within walking distance, and I really appreciated the excellent service throughout my stay. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

    A bit too loud in coridors (stone floor, not carpet). Breakfest is super limited - you choose from 3 super limited options.

    Location - super central, that the main thing about this hotel. Eerything is sutably good for this location/price. Rooms are pretty modern and good enough. No complaints. SHower is clean and modern.

    The room was very small and a bit shabby / could do with a refresh. The bathroom has a glass door, so there was no privacy. The air con wasn't great so the room was too warm, even in March.

    Great location just off Nanjing Road by People's Square. This hotel / hostel has good facilities, including a laundry and small gym. The bar is cheap & open 24hrs & they kindly let us check in when we arrived at 9am! Check out is also until 12noon.

    However, the room was extremely small. There was barely any space to move, and we couldn’t even open our suitcases on the floor—we had to place them on the bed to unpack. It felt very cramped, making the stay quite uncomfortable. Another major downside was the bathroom design. It had a glass wall, offering no privacy at all, which was really inconvenient. The breakfast was also quite disappointing. You could choose from three options, but none of them were particularly good, and the selection was very limited. Overall, it’s an okay experience for a short stay of two days since you’re in the city center and can easily walk everywhere. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for a longer stay due to the lack of space and comfort.

    The best thing about this hotel is its location—it’s very well positioned, making it easy to get around the city. The staff was also very nice and accommodating. They even gave us four vouchers to get soft drinks from the fridge during our two-day stay, which was a nice gesture. Additionally, we had complimentary water and soft drinks in the room, which was a nice touch.

    The entrance to the hotel/hostel is quite messy and dirty. It doesn’t resemble a typical hotel; rather, it’s a large building with rooms that have either private bathrooms or bunk beds with shared bathrooms. The breakfast options need significant improvement. They offer three types of “breakfast”—Swiss, English, and French—but there are no clear signs indicating these options. Additionally, basic kitchen supplies like salt and pepper shakers are missing. Be cautious about the city tax, as they tend to charge more than expected. Always verify the amount before making your payment.

    The location is ideal, located in the heart of the city and very convenient, with everything either within walking distance or easily accessible by nearby metro. The receptionist was very kind. There are numerous restaurants and malls right by the hotel/hostel.

    There could be more breakfast options. The 3 given are more or less the same in terms of food. As this is a hostel plus hotel, don't expect to have a quiet common area in the evening, when it is very crowded and even noisy.

    It's very close to the underground station of People's Square (Exit 19). (But the Amap suggests getting off at Nanjing Road East station, which takes a much longer time to reach the hotel.)

    Staff is inexperienced. The lattes were served cool, not hot. Breakfast was bare bones but acceptable.

    Kind of funky but I liked it. Tap beer in the lobby very cool Movies in the lounge also a treat. Rooms are tiny but clean. Great neighborhood for food !!!!
