Excellent location, can't ask for a better location in Shanghai. Room is comfortable, food in the restaurant is great, but a bit pricy. However, you can always find other great choices on the street, as there are plenty of great restaurants nearby.

Perfect location for walking to the Bund for night life, shopping on Nanjing Road (main shopping malls in Shanghai), or Huanghe Road for local dining (for fresh made to serve Xiaolongbao). If you are an early bird, try to get to the Bund at 6am and you will see locals with dragon dancing, they are super friendly if you would like to try!
