This is the third time I've stayed in this hotel. It is very basic but perfectly functional and very good value. The rooms are not particularly pretty and the bathrooms are a tad grubby (not filthy or unacceptable) but the location is excellent. A two minute walk to the Metro and only two stops (around five minutes) to the centre of Shanghai. For 150rmb a night you cannot expect a palace. It's cheap with comfortable beds. The internet is slow and the TV offers nothing for foreign travellers but as a base for exploring the city and a cheap place to sleep it does the job. On my last stay I was very disappointed as the A/C didn't work and the shower was cold. I mentioned this as I checked out and the reception were aware of the issues with the room and offered a feeble apology but didn't seem particulary bothered. (Room 404 - don't accept it if you are allocated this room. I've previously stayed in 219 and 405 and they were both problem free) It depends entirely on what you need from a hotel. If you just need a bed in a good location for a very cheap price then this place is great. If you want somewhere pretty, spotlessly clean with good facilities then don't stay here. You get what you pay for. For the price this place is superb. I'm hoping my bad experience last visit was a one off. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and I'll stay here again the next time I come to Shanghai.
