great hotel location

I have stayed here several times over the past five years whenever I stay in Shanghai. It is very close to the Metro (Line 20 - which is handy for all of the major sightseeing attractions and PVG Airport. Rooms are great, as is breakfast - the only nuisance is you have to pay for the internet in your room or use free WiFi in the lobby which can be temperamental. Great swimming pool too.

Tolles Hotel, das Essen vom Room Service war leider nicht gut und zu teuer.

Matkakokemus

Pros: Yleiset tilat kauniit, sänky hyvä.
Cons: Hotelli valittiin uima-altaan perusteella, mutta tila niin likainen että ei tehnyt mieli uida.
Location: Sijainti ok.
Puhuttiin hyvin englantia, aamupala ehkä liian kiinalainen, länsimaista ruokaa melko vähän. Iso uima-allas, mutta pesutilat likaiset, täynnä karvoja jne.
