Great location, easy access to metro and walking distance to many museums and public spaces (including 30 min walk to the Bund). No on-premise restaurant/bar, but there were small breakfast vendors right next door in the AM and hotpot joints at the south end of the street in the PM. Also, two blocks east were multiple 24-hour convenience stores.
Apple Maps had a hard time finding the location (still listed under the old name, "Yinongmeiyu Hotel (New World Branch"), but Google Maps had no trouble finding it. I reported the issue to Apple, but have not seen an update yet.
The loft room was good overall, but had some quirks. Built-in all-in-one washer/dryer for free laundry, plenty of space to move around in the room, and free wifi. Unfortunately, the room had no outside windows for ventilation, and it suffered from moisture build-up in the room, which made the room smell musty. I left the bathroom fan running 24/7 and the third day the air was much cleaner. The walls showed signs of recent repair, which I'm sure had to do with water damage. The last quirk was that the room had no lock-box. I had no issues with items going missing, but I also did not have peace-of-mind.
Very little noise, and multiple staff fluent in English were very helpful.
