Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Away from the city centre — The hotel's peaceful location on Shanghai's outskirts means it's not walkable to the main downtown attractions; guests will need to rely on transport.
- Dated public areas — While rooms are applauded, the general areas and overall property appearance score slightly lower, suggesting some parts may feel outdated.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in begins at 3 PM and ends just before midnight, so late-night arrivals after midnight will need to make alternative arrangements.
