5/5 Excellent
Excellent
"Very spacious and comfortable room. The staff spoke good English and were very helpful. The breakfast buffet catered for all tastes. The location was very convenient for getting from & back to the airport on the Metro and The Bund was very walkable along Nanjing Rd. The hop-on bus stop outside gave easy access to other attractions. "
