“Value for money, bad service”

Stayed around 10 days in this service apartment. Location is actually good, next to Lousanguan Rd metro station, in metro line 2 in Shanghai. A lot of eateries around this service apartment.

Stayed around 10 days in this service apartment. Location is actually good, next to Lousanguan Rd metro station, in metro line 2 in Shanghai. A lot of eateries around this service apartment. The room is quite spacious with a standard service apartment equipment like fridge, a sofa. No cooking utensils. The bed is very bad, it is very hard and not convenient. TV has international channel such as CNN and BBC but very bad reception. Free broadband internet. If you are a foreigner and do not speak Mandarin at all, it will be very difficult to stay in this hotel because the receptionists and the hotel staff do not speak English, only a little English and you will have language barriers speaking to them. If you do speak Mandarin, then this service apartment might be off interest, because it is value for money and the location is great, only if you don't mind sleeping in a hard bed.

“Nice, cheap service apartment”

My mom's friend had recommended this service apartment after her friends had stayed there previously. She had made reservations for us, so I am not sure how easy it is to reserve online or by calling. Their number is [--].

My mom's friend had recommended this service apartment after her friends had stayed there previously. She had made reservations for us, so I am not sure how easy it is to reserve online or by calling. Their number is [--]. We ended up getting a regular room for $498 RMB that included 2 queen sized beds (for 3 people). Basically, the service apartment provides a clean room with the usual amenities - TV (about 60+ channels, mostly Chinese, but has CNN, Discovery Channel, and a couple movie channels), hairdryer, body soap and shampoo, your own bathroom (decent size, although the water from the sink tends to splash out a lot), along with a kitchenette- mini-sized fridge, electric stove, hot water heater. Beware as the wall between the bedroom and bath has a huge window that can look in and out, but there's a curtain on the bedroom side so that you have more privacy when showering. The beds are hard, like most Asian countries. They provide bottled water for free (2 per day), but coffee and tea are extra charge. Full set of towels, room cleaning daily. High speed internet, but you need your own laptop for the DSL connection. Safe deposit in the closet. Bathrobes and slippers provided. Lobby is pretty basic - some chairs and front desk check in. I'm not sure how fluent they are in English, as I speak Chinese. They have maps for $10 RMB ~ $1.50, but it's all in Chinese. No weight scale, in case you want to weigh your luggage. They do not exchange money. They were pretty responsive when we asked for more towels and toilette paper (they're really small rolls, so runs out quickly). Check out is 12 noon, but you can store your luggage all day, or even overnight. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but the hotel sits right above/next to a mall where there are a few Chinese fastfood restaurants (noodles, rice) as well as KFC (a little different from the US), Papa John's and Starbucks. There's also a fruit vendor across the street. There is a Subway stop through the underground mall - Lao Shan Guan Road #2 Line. It's about a 3 minute walk. Takes about 30 minutes to get to Nanjing Dong Lu on the subway and costs $4RMB. Overall it was a nice stay. A little further from the city than I usually like to be, although the subway was very convenient. It would have been nice to have a gym to work out at, but how much time do you have during vacation to work out anyway?
