Jinrong International

I spent one night at the Jinrong International Hotel in Shanghai, a business hotel conveniently located to quickly reach the city center and admire the famous skyline reflected on the Huangpu River. My 706 room was spacious, simple but clean, with a functional desk for work and a bathroom with a bathtub, with a rather basic design. Overall, the accommodation responds well to the needs of a short business stay or passage. The breakfast buffet was large and rich in typical Chinese hot dishes, as is often the case in hotels in the country, while the sweet options were rather limited. A solid choice for those looking for a practical, well-connected hotel with basic amenities, ideal as a base for exploring the state-of-the-art Shanghai.

This is def. not a 4 star hotel. I travel to China 2-3 times a year and spend 10-14 days during every trip. This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. - Rooms: Dirty, broken equipment, no maintenance, no proper light and broken window. - Staff: Does not speak any English. I wonder how they can themselves an International hotel. They have one answer for every request you have: Sorry Sir, we can not do. - Breakfast: Supposed to by served until 10 AM. But as a guest you are not welcome after 09:30 AM. They start closing the buffet and tell you clearly you have to leave now. - Internet: Ok and may be the only thing which was satisfying.

Location: good. Located near a Line 1 metro station. Extremely bear the Amazing Shanghai Circus and a shopping mall with good shops and restaurants. Service: not as hospitable as in other hotels in China. However, reception, cleaning and waiters are fast to respond. Breakfast: for chinese style of breakfast is OK but for western style is poor and limited. Coffee was not good. Lobby: poor and small. Room: for twin beds it was big enough with three chairs and 2 tables. Clean bed sheets and comfy mattress. TV had english, Spanish, arabic, russian speaking channels. Toilet was small, shower was easy to operate and with hot water and good pressure.
