Wonderful hotel, wonderful staffs.
The location couldn't be any better, center of Shanghai. The front desk staffs are nice and professional. I dropped my metro card in the lobby and didn't notice until next day. They kept it for me until I came back few days later. Really appreciate that. Thanks a lot.

This historic building has been sensitively restored and the rooms refurbished (evidently quite recently). The location is great. I found my room very comfortable and the bathroom positively luxurious. Very good value for money. The reception desk staff were efficient and helpful. Breakfast was good, except for the coffee. I suggest investing in a good quality self-service coffee machine. The only thing lacking in the hotel was a coffee-shop type place where one could get a light meal, but there are plenty of options in the streets around. I also suggest providing a water-cooler in the lobby where one could refill a reusable bottle, rather than providing bottled water in the rooms: I believe the sort of people who stay here would want to be environmentally friendly.

Location is close to People Square 20 minutes walk, subway station #8 around the corner. Hotel itself is dated, but the room was very comfortable. With a bit more money would rather stay in a more modern hotel,closer to the center with breakfasts included and English speaking restaurant staff.

Disappointing
No information in room about hotel or services. No concierge just a stand with some leaflets advising what you can see mostly in chinese. Small reception area with small lounge. This is more of a buisness hotel and not for tourists.

Great location, beautiful lobby, pleasant room (furnishing), and pleasant front desk and cleaning staff. BUT, they are super stingy with air conditioning! The evening we checked in, there's no AC in the room at all. No matter what temperature we set the thermostat at, the room temp always registered at 74F. It might be an OK temp to sit around in, but def not what we'd want to be sleeping in under the lush feather bedding provided. Shutting off the air and opening the windows didn't help to cool down the room either, and only made it more humid. Turns out, the hotel had shut off AC because of the season change (it's Oct.) despite the fact that the day time outdoor temp is in the mid-70's the whole time we were there. The days after our complaint, we noticed that the air did get cool at some point during the day, but only for a few hours at a time. I'm sorry... if I'm paying a decent price to stay at a hotel , I expect to be able to set my own room temperature. This is not something the property management should dictate. I need that option.

We stayed in 9 different hotels during our recent 24 day trip to China. The Metropolo was one of the best ones we stayed, although all our hotels were a good value for the money. The Metropolo has a great location just steps for a Metro station. The staff was excellent and the room was clean and very comfortable.

The hotel is 2 steps away from Da Shi jie Metro station and its effortless to find. However, it is quite shocking that they do not turn on the Air conditioning system due to the chill weather. The entire room lack of air flow and turned out humid. We found at least 4 mosquitoes inside the room flying around.

This hotel was built in the 1930s and The ceiling of the lobby still preserve the painting of that time. My friend said that it was a hot spot for celebrities, Mui Lan Fong, for exemple. The hotel takes its security extremely seriously because the customer cannot use his/ her hotel card to go to a different floor other than his/her own floor. It is also convenient located near a subway station, and restaurants.

The hotel is a historical YMCA building. The name is a bit confusing online as some time it refers as YMCA hotel etc. The location itself is full of history and right next to one of the CBD in Shanghai. The hotel condition and services are in-par with the similar hotels in Shanghai.
