This is a classic-style hotel—not modern, but very well maintained and not run-down. The location is very convenient, just one block away from Nanjing Street, with a convenience store right across the street. The room was clean, and the staff were very helpful. I especially appreciated the bathtub and the many elevators, so there was no long wait to go up to the room or down to the lobby. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it.

it was a very pleasant stay. The location cannot be better. The rooms are large and plenty of room to hang clothes. Selections are varied and plentiful. Toilets can be upgraded to Toto type of toilets found in newer hotels. Otherwise there is nothing to complain and everything to be recommended.
