7.7Verified guest“Right by the subway and bus stop, rooms were large and spotless with free Wi-Fi. I enjoyed the complimentary fruit and the very comfortable bed. Good value, and it was easy to find dining options in the Xujiahui area.”
7.7Verified guest“A good hotel if you can get a discount of more than half off the rack rate, which is possible. It is rated five stars but doesn't quite meet that mark; still, nothing to complain about. Breakfast has a nice spread for all tastes, and staff are helpful.”
7.7Verified guest“An older five-star hotel that could use a refresh, but still fair. Conveniently a few steps from Guilin Road station on metro line 9. Personnel are helpful and professional.”
7.7Verified guest“The location right by the subway is very convenient, rooms are spacious and clean with free Wi-Fi and amenities, plus a daily free fruit offering. There are restaurants and bars, among many other facilities.”

7.7Verified guest“Set in a quiet residential area, perfect for those going to the Everbright exhibition centre or on business in the district. The room and bathroom were spacious and well kept, with a comfortable American King bed, sofa, and coffee table. Staff gave excellent service, the breakfast buffet was extensive with Asian and Western dishes, and the facilities were top-notch, including free drinks and snacks in the room, free broadband, and robes.”
