Every time an Agoda customer checks out of a hotel we send them an email asking them to write a review of their stay. This is the only way reviews can be submitted. Every review must then be approved by our content team before being posted on the Agoda website. Therefore, unlike many other travel sites, ALL Agoda reviews are certified and genuine.
We want you to pay the lowest possible rate for your room. If you have reserved a hotel room through Agoda, and then show us that you could book the same room, for the same dates, at a lower rate, that is viewable and bookable on another website, within 48 hours of booking your room with us, we will either match that rate or beat it.

the location; next to the entrance of station.

no elevator at the closest station, so if you have a lot of luggage, it's gonna be a little tough.

very nice location, just 1 minutes walk from the closest station, although you have to walk up a long stairs. and I think the station is also very convenient for sightseeing, just 2 stops from "People's square (center of the metro in Shanghai)" that takes at most 10 or 20 min. to get to the most of tourist place there. I'd definitely like to visit there next time.

Hotel is just situated next to Shanghai Metro station

None

The best thing about the hotel is that its just next to the Shanghai Metro station - line 1 Hanzhong road station. One station away from Shanghai Railway Station and two stations away from the People's Square (where all the major shopping centres are located). Very convenient to move about and explore Shanghai. Hotel facilities are also pretty good - definitely value for money.

Restaurant Tip : Ajisen Ramen is only 10mins walk from hotel - located inside Holiday Inn.

best offer rate, good english speaking staff, neat and clean

hotel is not having any buffet breakfast system, the ground floor toilet close to reception needs to be more clean, hotel also differentiate between western and Indian people

over all hotel is good, needs more services like buffet breakfast, they can calculate some cost and add in room rent if required, staff should not differentiate between indian and western country people. Hotel is having very good location and very close to shanghai metro train. The overall staff is courteous and good.communication is better than other hotel.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The hotel is not very far from main shanghai railway station and one can get good shopping area just 2-3 kms away from the hotel location.

Clean, neat and tidy. Drinkable water supplied each day. On the metro line so getting around was easy and inexpensive. Hotel in excelent location. Walk to main Shanghai Station.

Pay cash as you go. Can not charge to room and make one visa payment at check out. At times no english on any TV station, no international news.

Overall excelent place to stay because of location and accessability to local transport, shuttle bus to Pudong Airport, tourist attractions. Got more for the price we paid than expected. Very happy aged independant non chinese tourist. Highy recommend if your going there. I would stay again.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Get a map before you leave, or print off internet. Nothing in English at hotel.

location to metro, main railway station. Clean neat and tidy.

No English maps or tourist info in English (all Chinese) Pool and bar out of service.

Excelent location for metro and attraction sites. Very clean comfortable room, serviced daily. Drinking water supplied as with tea making and mini bar.Plenty of hot water. Storage space for cases and shopping. It can be noisy at night with construction works taking place next door and workers doing night shift. Be aware cleaners may take small item left on table tops so pack items each morning and put in drawers. We lost our toothpaste, coffee sachets and travel towel because maybe they thought it was the hotels?? Nice modern bathroom, soft comfortable beds with clean linen. Staff speak little english not enough to really help out with questions not hotel service related.

Shopping Tip : Hotel warns of pick pockets and personal security. We are seasoned travellers but had our money stolen while at a store check out paying for goods with a security guard standing by watching. We were foreigners so it was OK. Luckily not much in purse at one time and no cards. Carry cards seperately and try not to be by yourself when paying.

Very good place to stay! Guest Rating: 10

Hotel has all the amenities I needed during my 2 days stay.

Renovation was going on when I was there so you can actually hear the pounding on the wall during the day.

A 4 star hotel that is reasonably priced for a budget traveler like myself. Coming from the airport, took the airport bus which cost me 20 yuan compared to riding a taxi which cost around 500 yuan. The first stop was just a few steps away from where the hotel was. Also, the West lake was a few blocks away which makes it really convenient for me for sightseeing. Hotel staff were extremely friendly to me which makes me feel very welcome.

Convenient, subway station right underneath.

Barely any restaurants & convenience store nearby. Difficult to get taxi during peak hour.

It is very convenient, sitting right on top of a subway station. Staff is very professional, efficient, courteous and can speak English. The room was better than I'd expected, especially with high-speed internet access. It is definately value for money and it's a good bargain I've got from Agoda. I highly recommend it to you as well.

Shopping Tip : Just 10 mins walk, you can find Tai Ping Yang Shopping Mall with several restaurants.

Convenient, subway station right underneath. Nice staff, good facilities.

Barely any restaurants nearby, 15 min or more walking time, or go by subway.

The hotel is very convenient, sitting right on top of a subway station, no hotel's convenience can match this one. Staff is very professional, efficient, and courteous. The facilities were much higher than I'd expected, especially for the bargain I got over Agoda. I've told my colleagues about this hotel for their future visit to Shanghai, and I highly recommend it to you as well.

Restaurant Tip : The room service ends at 10:00pm, not 12:00am as proclaimed on the room service menu.

The high-speed Internet. Terminal Station near Shanghai. Directly connected to the Metoro. Many banks in the neighborhood.

Few restaurants in the neighborhood. There is only one in a convenience store opposite.

In China, there are many things I did the job this year. Shanghai's three years. The hotel is close to the station, you can chose a room on the Internet at high speed. In China's cities have little to no refrigerator in the room, this hotel is. Notable restaurants around the business district is not so much. Foot area, but there are major department stores. There is a Starbucks Coffee and McDonald's, KFC and there.

Shopping Tip : There are major department stores in the About 5 minutes walk. A convenience store opposite.

The price is very reasonable. The hotel is near to city center (nanjing road). The hotel is beside to subway station.

The space of the room is relatively small. Most of the staff cannot speak English.

As a whole, I am really satisfied with this hotel.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : This hotel is very good because it is located beside subway station and only 2 stop from city center (Nanjing Road). I really recommend someone who wants to travel in Shanghai to stay in this hotel. Furthermore, the price is very reasonable.

Hotel staff hwas very helpful.

Facilities and services available in hotel very limited given star rating.

I had hoped I had found a different hotel to stay at given frequent visits to Shanghai. I was wrong and left one day early even though I had paid. Really this is a nice but two star only at best hotel. For long stays it just does not have anything to offer except it is next to subway. You can eat mediocre food at old dining area and sleep in small room. Other than that there is nothing else to do at this hotel.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Close to train station and next door to subway

Had fabulous meal at this hotel. Next door to subway.

Pool out of action when we were there. Bar - not attended or well used.

Only stayed for a couple of days but location suited us. The underground was just next door and we used it extensively during our stay. The room was a little warn and smokers had recently been in and so that was a little off putting. We had requested a non smoking but obviously none was available. There are lots of interesting litle shops a short walking distance from the hotel where provisions can be bought. Staff efficient but not very friendly.

Hotel Feature Tip : Reduced rates in services (swimming pool) not available or at least some kind of compensation.

And a Subway Station Road during the Han dynasty in the second line from the Shanghai Railway Station, the hotel because of the building to the ground in the subway station, convenient to move the umbrella in the rain NASHINASHI. Warren not feel that no one heard anything before Tenya subway. Front of the station, the hotel is in a hurry to the airport so we always are waiting for the taxiI do not need a reservation. Therefore, JTB tours to the number of package tours in Europe and America. The person who lives in the U.S. feel easy as a simple motel. Group of tuxedo and evening dress in the lobby of the crash are a group of recent fashion show in France has been spectacular.

Celebrity obsessed with luxury hotels that once in a lifetime trip to Shanghai is not up too austere. Western Chinese cuisine for breakfast is like to celebrate in the normal diet. Rooms have a floor area of a business hotel in Japan on a honeymoon in three simple things about the same price and better times are not.

First, the modest, safe, convenient hotel for business and leisure a relatively sanitary. Shanghai not difficult to understand language, Mandarin, English and understands it. Japanese talk to one of the staff. Spanish, Italian as well, is a sign of international five-star hotel. The long-term and I think that people used to travel for.

Travel tip : Subway in a number of years from 10 I guess I should move a lot of use from Shanghai's subway.
