This hotel is within walking distance for the metro line. There are a few restaurants and bars near by, also near a busy shopping area. The hotel rooms were very clean and the breakfast was very good, loads of variety. Downside, the Internet was terrible. we had to go out to use free wifi.

This is great hotel at the very epicenter of Shanghai, trusted other tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed, would stay again, great location 2 mins from everywhere, you would be pleased with here. Very clean fairly modern, here on holiday with my wife much better than we had expected good luck.

had not the best view when looking out of the window of the room, but that is not the problem of hotel but more one of the city. Hotel is great in every way, I would stay there again. Breakfast is too expensive. SPA is wonderful Service friendly English communication no problem

Have stayed here for 3 of 6 trips to Shanghai. Rates can often be found for a third less than the Radisson, Westin and Sofitel which are the other hotels I've stayed at. Excellent location with very clean rooms and lobby. Buffet breakfast is excellent value when included in discounted club room but not worth it if you pay full... More

Clean rooms, great services, very polite and helpful staff. Great location to start exploring Shanghai from, and a short walk to the rail station We had a higher floor room that faced Pu'an road. Wifi can be slow and unreliable. Our room had a wired connection which was MUCH better.

The place was great, very good service, almost everybody speaks english and the location is the best you can get. Near subway stations, shopping stores, etc. The pool is very relaxing and is almost always alone. Check the spa highly recommended.

My husband is an airline pilot and stays in hotels frequently. He said this is one of the best hotels he has stayed in, especially surprising since it is a Howard Johnsons. We decided to try it since the price was good and the reviews said it was in a great location, but very nervous that it was a "hojo's"-... More

The hotel is difficult to rate. On one hand the breakfast is very good and varied, the check-in was efficient, and the massage department gave me the best foot massages I have gotten in a long, long time. On the other hand, the wi-fi is not working well and disappeared for a whole day (and the staff seemed not to... More
