I stayed here and was very pleased with my experience. The room was comfortable, clean, and cozy — you can really feel the attention to detail. Breakfasts were excellent — everything was fresh and delicious, a perfect way to start the day. The staff were friendly and attentive, always willing to help and quick to solve any issues. I especially appreciated their help in organizing the airport transfer — everything went smoothly and without stress. Thank you for the great service, I’ll definitely come back!

The location is great, just need a bit time to find the place for the first time. There are few shopping mall nearby within walking distance 5 minutes. The building out looking is a bit old, but the inside is great and Morden. It is actually a local residential building, therefore do not expect for a reception.

The hotel is perfect if you have a very late or an early flight to or from Pudong Airport. It's really close to the Terminals and you have everything you need to get a good rest after or before a flight. Everything was perfect for this purpose.

Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful despite the language barrier. The free afternoon tea and late night supper was a nice bonus, plus the laundry and ironing service made the stay feel extra luxurious. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again.
