Imagine Garden Hotel Shanghai

Had this hotel booked by our Travel Agent. Chose this place by the location: We wanted to have a decent hotel near the Honqaio airport. Hotel told to have 3 stars and a beautiful view to the garden. The experience was a littlebit different. Room was dirty, the carpet was full of stains, smelling like puke, ugly bathroom. The corridor was also dirty and lighted like a bordel. Well, it was the first time ever I saw a minibar list where a variety of drinks was shorter than the list of condoms availabe. Bed was big ;) but quite hard, still ok for a person wanting to sleep after jetlag. Restaurant is not managed by the hotel but it serves breakfast. The list was a sad, stained photocopy of a few choises. When beeing very hungry it was ok, but not worth RMB 28. One block away in another hotel we got nice buffet breakfast for RMB 15. For the dinner cheeseburger and spaghetti carbonara was very tasty. The staff in the restaurant don't speak english almost at all, but we got what we ordered each time. After one night we booked out and changed hotel.

Located close to the Hongqiao airport and Shanghai railway station, an ideal place for frequent business travelers for spending a night or two in Shanghai. Restaurant is no good. Service is so so. Not much to do around, no shopping, nothing around the vicinity of the hotel as well. However, the rooms are clean and decent. Free internet is provided in all the rooms. It is only 2 floors so not much of a room with a view concept. Over and above, a good reasonably priced hotel close to the domestic airport and railway station.
