Genting Star Shanghai

We arrived quite early in the morning before 9am and were told check in isn't until 12. We waited in the lobby trying to work out what to do, as we had just had a long train journey from Beijing, when the receptionist said a room was ready for us. This was very handy for us! Room was fine albeit slightly small. Bed very bad, rock solid and hard to sleep on. Smallish shower but had good pressure and heat. Cleaners were very loud outside the room talking on their walkie talkies, was woken up numerous times because of this. Tube is only 350 metres away HOWEVER there is a police station in between so you have to walk around which is a minimum 10 minute walk if you walk fast. Receptionist spoke good English. Didn't try the restaurant downstairs but looked reasonable prices from 30 yuan upwards. When walking out of the hotel and take a right then another right there is a few mini marts on that street which is convenient. Every night without fail there is numerous prostitute cards put under your room door so not family friendly but we had no issue and just put them in the bin. Reasonable price for Shanghai if you don't mind using the tube everyday (Daibashu station is closest).

I can really recomend this hotel - clean and affordable, good location ca. 7 mins to metro. Good restaurant in the ground floor. Unfortunately it is allowed to smoke inside the hotel, so you can feel the cigarettes in the corridor and bathrooms but not in a sleeping area. One thing that was problematic - the bathroom wall was a GLASS WALL (of course a little bit dimmed so it was only 1/3 see-though but still quite uncomfortable even for a couple).

Everything you need is there. Location is not that bad, no breakfast is served. Room is OK but rather small. Definitely small if you are two with luggage. Corridors can be noisy but mainly due to Chinese standards. If you are on a budget, 24€/ night is a good deal
