Review of Shanghai New Asia Hotel by HADRIAN

I was looking for a hotel in Shanghai, and come up with on-line booking thru this website. I found one alternative hotel that is close to the city, just a view minutes from the bund, YuYuan or even to Nanjing road, thus I paid less for the transportation yet the hotel is not too way expensive. I choose new Asia hotel, and I just take a cab, went to this hotel. I thought for my first impression, the location is very much not tourist kind of location, it is very local with a crowded street andn lots of store selling tools and machinary part. I hardly find any tourist there. Then I reached the hotel, it was very much gloomy colour outside and inside of the lobby. During check in, I was thinking that that this might be a very cheap hotel that you will not feel comfortable, stinky and minght be lots of bugs inside. BUT THAT WAS WRONG...by the time I enter the room, it is clean and neat. I read about this hotel mission to be a green hotel, which I could see the real action to get the mission. First, I was looking into drinking water, but I could not find any. At last I found a water tap in the bath room, hot tap, cold tap and one drinking water tap. The hotel will not produce drinking water pack at least and friendly to environment the other thing was shampoo and soap, both were put in the dispenser that is attached to the wall, very easy to use and less waste of shampoo and soap packaging. it is clean and neat, no stinky things or bugs around...and the next day I can see not only me strangers in this hotel, there's a lot of western tourist as well.... I just like to stay in this hotel.....but I have to shorten my staying as I have to change my flight schedule due to some reason. some improvement that need to be done : - there are about 40 - 50 TV channel, only one with English, one France and one japanese..the rest is in mandarin/chinese language...it might not easy for tourist to watch the TV...perhaps they have to add more English language - more friendly hotel staff, to make the guest feel more comfortable
