The hotel was a wonderful surprise - super modern, super clean, with a delicious buffet breakfast and kind and attentive staff. So here are the cons: it's a good way out of town, it's a 10-minute walk to the Metro and there's nothing in the way of nightlife. And here are the pros: it's a good way out of town - there's a feeling of "going home" at night, it's a 10-minute walk to the Metro which is great for the health and there's nothing in the way of nightlife which means a good night's sleep. We loved it - we didn't want to be in downtown Shanghai which after all is one of the five most populous cities in the world. We wanted something modern, affordable and clean. And we found it. A big shout out to 3 people - the chambermaid who indulged our requests for extra loo paper and extra towels, Bailey the concierge who took care of our train tickets - and over and above - the maitre d' in the restaurant who made sure we always had coffee (1 latte and 1 4xshots espresso) waiting for us moments after we sat down every morning. Jimmy Zhu, I salute you - and the superb team you have. You made a difference in our stay and we are looking forward to our next visit.
