Gubei Garden

Had to stay one night for my buisness trip Good hotel with location close to city center and near to mall and food court area Rooms are okay with little dirt on the carpet Beds were good and comfortable, breakfast was enjoyable but very less option for vegetarian like me

We hired two rooms at roughly $91 per night for a family of 4. Thankfully they put us in two rooms next to each other. Hotels old and could do with an update. There is a smell on most floors that I associate with old carpet. Breakfast bar not too bad, although they seem to believe frying an egg is the same as poaching? Full Asian buffet if you like that. The bacon i think was steamed, fried eggs cold, coffee from some outdated grind & express plastic job that the powdered milk just reassures you McDonalds next door is probably the go and cheaper than the ¥45. They said satellite TV, not sure really, about 30 odd channels but only 3 in English and there all CNN news. Reception speaks English & attended to any needs we tasked them with. The saving grace for this relic though is its location to both public transport (Yili Rd Train Station, Line 10) & Takashimaya (Japanese Shopping Mall). Both situated within 100 meters of the hotel allows for easy navigation to anywhere in the city. In the basement of the Shopping Centre is a well stocked grocery market with several fast food outlets & resturaunts scattered through out the floors. I will add there is also a Starbucks & McDonalds between the railway station and the shopping centre too. Would we stay here again? Yes but only fir a night or two if in Shanghai for the easy access to transport & the abillity to order out quickly.

the hotel is clean, they also lend an umbrella. if you lost the umbrella, you have to pay for it. unless the plastic umbrella. near the hotel, there's an mrt station with shopping area. for the other side, there's a 24 hours mini market, to buy mineral water or snacks for staying at the hotel.
