Homeinn Selected Hotel (Shanghai Bund Xintiandi Huaihai Road)

The standard king room was indeed tiny! Even though the front desk warned me it was small before check-in, I never imagined it would be *this* small! Also, the hotel doesn't have a restaurant, so you have to go out to eat. There's no private parking either. This particular room had no windows, and was so small that two people felt cramped, there was no space to open a suitcase, nowhere to put discarded clothes, and you couldn't close the bathroom door while sitting on the toilet (which meant the whole room smelled every time someone used it...). Water also leaked out of the shower. The room felt very stuffy! There were no toiletries provided, and no fridge. What's really bizarre is that one floor is split into two, similar to the upper level of a loft. You have to climb stairs to get to it. The soundproofing is poor; outside noise disturbed my rest. It felt very oppressive to stay there. The room also lacked a table and chairs. The lobby's decor is exquisite, but the room itself was very old. The bathroom also leaked, and the walls were damp. The front desk staff provided excellent service, which was the only satisfying part. The hotel's location is great, just 100 meters from the subway station, making travel convenient, and there are many restaurants and snack bars nearby. I don't know about the other rooms, but definitely DO NOT book this one!!!

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Metro Line 8. It's also not too far to walk to People's Square or Nanjing Road. Since it's an old building converted into a hotel, there are stairs in odd places. For example, in P2, there are stairs right after you enter the room, which is quite inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage or big suitcases. The room size is decent and it's clean, but the sink drain had a strange smell.

The room is nice, the price is reasonable, and the location is great – very close to the Bund. Public transportation and the subway are also convenient. The hotel service is decent too. It's suitable for outings, business trips, and travel, definitely recommended.
