The staff were very nice. English was a problem but we worked through it. Buffet breakfast was more than expected and we enjoyed it very much. You could not ask for a better location. Minutes from a metro, and 5 minutes from the Bund. Our room was comfortable and very clean.

Lovely central location for the Bund

Lovely central location for the Bund, Yuyu gardens and the metro for temples. It also has a reasonable gym, sauna and jacuzzi. Room sizes are large and spacious and the concierge service was excellent in sorting us a taxi to Wuzhen.
