Xujiahui Park

This hotel is called "Wanping jiu dian" in Chinese. Taxi drivers are unlikely to understand "Xujiahui Park", so its best to mention the hotel is located at the "Wanping Lu, Zhaojiabang lu" intersection. The hotel was of fair price value given the location and room condition. The upper floors (perhaps floor 12 upwards) have been renovated to give them a clean modern look. These rooms are very comfortable. Other rooms (e.g. Level 8) were still at the time in need of renovation. The older rooms have a dreary look and feel to them. My wife (who is Chinese) felt very uncomfortable in the older rooms. I have to say this is a place where I have experienced one of the fastest internet connections. I had no issues with connecting my corporate laptop and holding conference calls. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to Tianyaoqiao Road (Lu), where all the hustle bustle is. Overall, comfortable for the price.

The hotel is conveniently located near a metro station, and in close proximity to several shopping centers and malls. It also overlooks chihuahua Xujiahui Park, and is walking distance from the largest pub street in Shanghai. In terms of amenities, it offers everything a business traveler would need - WiFi, spacious rooms, good breakfast (even for foreigners) and some of the staff can communicate effectively in English. I stayed there twice, for a combined 4 weeks in total. Would recommend!

For starters the location of this Hotel was key for my 5 night stay. Located 10-15 minute walk from XuJiaHui (BuyNow, Grand Gateway) and about 8-10 minute walk away from HengShan Lu Subway stop on line 1. The staff are friendly depending on who you may get. A couple of the staff were not so helpful/impolite, but during check out the two girls at the counter were very nice. The Room- well the room was fine I'd give it a rating of 7/10, BUT the biggest issue was the carpeted floor was very old showing a good number of what looked like soda/red wine stains. The size of the room was very nice, Superior Queen Bed. Bathroom was also spacious with a bathtub that could fit my 6'0" height comfortably. So in a nutshell, don't pay attention to the floor and you'll be pleased. As for breakfast/restaurant..... We never went. With Grand Gateway so close to walk my guest and I enjoyed eating at the Element Fresh located there.
