About the room, i stayed 2 weeks in executive room (old furniture but OK to sleep). My room's power saving device was not functioning properly, it was very annoying when the light kept turning off. So, i asked front desk about it....and they sent someone to fix it... and it was fixed in 10 minutes.
Nothing exciting about their facilities. Note: the kettles don't look very clean; don't bother to ask the housekeeping to change because they probably get lousier one for you.
Some bottles of water are available every morning.
Unfortunately there is currently a yard just near the hotel and it is very noisy, but this is common for Shanghai.
The breakfast is mainly chinese style.
ROOM: Above average for a 3-star hotel. Have all the amenities you needed. Disposable slipper, shoe shine, tooth brush, cotton bud, etc. Towels are clean. No complimentary bottled water but there is a water dispenser in the room. Overall, 4 out 5 for the room cleanliness.
INTERNET: No complimentary internet. They charge RMB50/24 hours. However, you can walk to the nearest internet cafe next door for RMB4 an hour. They allow you to use your own laptop.
LOCATION: Not too central. Located in Pudong, convenient for those who wants access to New Shanghai International Expo Center which is why I was there for anyway. There are MacDonalds, Pizza Hut, Noshinoya, etc 100meters away from the hotel. Intercontinental Pudong is right opposite the hotel.
BREAKFAST: Not included with the room and cost RMB38/person which I think it is a rip-off.
CONS:
1) There are construction works going on nearby, right in front of the hotel. The first night was a nightmare. Need earplugs to sleep. I check out and switched to Pudong Shangri-La on the third day (although I am supposed to stay here for 5 days).
2) SPA: Avoid it. It is a [--] brothel. I walked in and asked about the massage and prices. Instead of getting a response, I was directed to the shower area. Took shower, put on robe supplied by the spa and was directed to a room with a few foot-reflexology-looking chairs and a big plasma TV with no massage bed. I told the waiter who brought me drinks that I want body massage not foot reflexology. He do not seems to understand much English and a minute later the manager appeared and asked if it is my first time there. I said yes and he explained that the spa offers no massage service only SEX. I was ready to storm the hell out of that place and he keep insisting that I try their service. After attempting a few times, the manager finally gave up. I put back my own clothes and was all ready to leave that place. I was asked to pay RMB100 for the bloody shower which no one tells me that it cost RMB100. I put on a good show of arguement in the spa entrance which might have scared other guests away. So I finally throw a RMB50 bill and walk out of that place.
The hotel room is okay. The so called 'spa' makes me feel so disgusted that I have decided not to return to this hotel again.
The waiters at the 22nd floor (breakfast buffet) is not customer-friendly and the spread is similar everyday. Be prepared to jostle with the local Chinese for food as this seems to be a popular hotel for them. There are also foreigners as well. This primarily is a business hotel. For exchange of currency, there is a Bank of China next to the hotel. Be prepared to queue for at least 45 mins and bring your passport. The hotel provides this facility (without the queue) and the rates are compariable with the bank. The nearest metro is about 10 mins walking distance (Dongchang Station). There will be a nearer station, Dongfang Station which is under construction and is expected to be ready by Oct 2006.
Inter-Continental is just opposite this hotel and there is a large well-organized mall selling computers and its accessories. There will be street vendors outside the hotel on the pedestrain pavement usually at about 5pm onwards. They sell intersting items. This trip, both my wide and I bought quite a number of artifacts from Tibeatans selling their ware - beads, combs made of goats' horns, etc. The rule of thumb is 30% of their asking price.
providing such "facilities" is so worse 我第一次住糟糕的酒店,應該稱之為“旅館”! 我在預訂前查看了這裡的評論,其實因為我需要住近我的親戚,他們說這家離他們很近但是他們從來沒有住在這裡過,如果我知道這那麼差,我寧可會預訂對面的洲際!!! 唯一令人印象深刻的是房間裡的55英寸電視,是的,位置很好,就是這樣。 每晚接近90美元,和提供這樣的“設施”是如此糟糕!沒有冰箱,沒有保險箱,沒有空調,當戶外溫度只有20度時,它們正在為我提供暖氣。
The staff speak mainly in Mandarin. Whatever level of English they can speak is very low...so if you can only speak in English...and no Mandarin...I hope you won't have many requests...or you might end up frustrated.
However this is not to say the staff are not helpful. On the contrary, I find them very service-orientated. Like when I tried to travel to certain tourist destinations, they were ready to advise on which was the best mode of transport to go (Eg. MRT, taxi) and what the approximate cost would be. They were also quick to deliver the electrical adapters for our usage and there is free broadband internet. But you have to use your own computers.
The location is pretty decent. Taxi will bring you to most tourist destinations for about 12 - 20 yuan. (12 yuan is the starting price for a taxi ride). Most taxi drivers who start their meters will not cheat you. The only drivers who would cheat you are those who DO NOT start their meters. Always insist on the meter and take the receipt from them. The hotel is near shopping malls (Yaohan!) and food places.
The spa at the 3rd floor certainly looks dubious. When the lift doors open, I see paintings of naked women on the walls (I don't know if they can attribute it to artistic value). I certainly didn't dared to step out to find out.
On the whole, I wouldn't mind staying at this place again for the location and helpful staff...but that would be all.
All in all I think you could do better regarding quality and price, as there are many new or newly refurbished business hotels proper in the vicinity.
