It's just a few minutes' walk from Metro Line 2, very convenient location with several attractions nearby to visit along the way. The room was kept very clean, the bed was comfortable, and in the morning you could even see the Lujiazui skyline across the river. The front desk staff were very friendly, patiently…
The location is fairly convenient—about a ten-minute walk to the subway station. The area isn't particularly lively, but it's quiet and good for resting. For breakfast I had fried rice. The portion was generous and the ingredients were fresh. It tasted a bit salty, but in summer it didn't feel greasy. The chilled…
The room was okay, newly renovated. Check-in was a bit cumbersome—these days it's all about fast check-in and check-out, yet they still require a deposit. The service staff's attitude was mediocre. I asked for a bottle of water and they seemed reluctant.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
