Evering this is good but need to approve Breakfast.

Noise from other very loud

staff behaviour very non professional

The facilities were clean and new. For the price, I'd give it a 10 in this category. The staff was very friendly and helpful but you will need to be able to speak Mandarin to get the max level of service. Just pointing and doing phone translations will only get you so far. Definitely ask them to make coffee for you each day. They have a coffee machine in the lobby that you either can pay for the drinks with Wechat/Alipay .. or ask the staff to make it for you for free. We paid for the buffet breakfast -- the normal price is 25CNY but if you have a China phone number, you can install the Hanting app to be a "points member" and get the breakfast for 16.5CNY. (If you don't read Chinese, the staff can do the signup for you on your phone.) They change the breakfast slightly everyday so it's a good bargain to fill up your stomach before heading out to visit Shanghai. Otherwise, just trying to find a different breakfast everyday will cut down on how much time you have. There are a lot of local restaurants nearby but I'd say the quality of the food is not as good as some of the "well known" places. However, it's much cheaper. For example, a well known place will give you a rated 10 Xiao Long Bao for 30CNY for 8. Meanwhile the local restaurants here charge 8-10CNY for 8 XLB but the taste/quality is about a 6.

If your room has a window facing the inside courtyard, keep the windows closed. People go into the courtyard to smoke and your room will stink up if you open the windows. ( Don't be afraid to ask to swap rooms. ) The location is near Pudian Station which is not on a busy line so you will need to transfer to Century Ave Station every trip out. If you are taking metro to/from the airports, the nearest entrance does not have escalators going down so dragging luggage will be a hassle. ( I think I saw both up & down escalators at a more distant metro entrance connected to the Century Mart supermarket but can't be sure. )
