Yashidu Suites Hotel

This was quite a luxurious hotel but compared to the prices you would expect to pay in the UK quite cheap. The room was booked for me but I would assume it was a business class room as it had a bed and separate lounge area and was finished to a high standard. The bathroom had both a shower and bath. The breakfast was very good with a good selection of food. Mainly Chinese but with a few Western options. It is located on quite a busy crossroads which some people may find noisy. There are a few restaurant choices quite close by. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the ones I spoke to had good enough English to be able to understand what they were saying. I would definitely stay here again.

No updating, stained carpets in places, peeling wallpaper in places. It's OK, but....used to be nice before. I stay here because it is around the corner from office I visit. It does have a Starbucks in the same building for caffeine! Close to Hongqiao Airport, about 1 hour by cab from Pudong Airport. They do have conference/meeting rooms available. Formerly an A- hotel. Now a C or C+. Wifi is available, but spotty service, and often had to sit by room door with laptop for better signal!

I am visiting SH on a weekly basis, for business purpose. Always trying local hotels, so I know more or less what to expect. Yashidu is definitely under the average of Shanghai local hotel in terms of clean and maintenance. The room are huge, bed is extra-king size, but carpet is very dirty, and general condition of washroom and room are very old. Staff is kind anyway. Breakfast again below Chinese standard. Price is low, but can find better location for this budget. Pity because if renewed can be a good location.
