1️⃣ The hotel is located in a historic building on the Bund. While its luxury might not compare to other high-end hotels in the same price range, staying in a historic building right on the pedestrian street offers a unique and fulfilling emotional experience.
2️⃣ Turn left from the hotel and you'll find the Peace Hotel and the Bund. Turn right and walk a few hundred meters to reach the start of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and a Metro Line 2 station. The location is absolutely perfect.
3️⃣ The room isn't particularly luxurious but it's very clean and tidy. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation but isn't very spacious, which is understandable for an old building. The room also has a fridge and a coffee machine (the fridge comes with complimentary Coke and Sprite).
4️⃣ Regarding the balcony: Being on the seventh floor with good soundproofing, there's no need to worry about noise from the pedestrian street disturbing your rest at night. The balcony isn't huge, but it's big enough for two people to chat and enjoy a drink or meal facing each other – it's not as cramped as I imagined. There's also space to hang clothes. As for taking photos, due to the floor level and high railings, it's a bit tricky to find the best angles (or maybe my photography skills are just terrible 😢), but you can still capture some memorable shots. Just check out the pictures.
5️⃣ Finally, I want to mention the service. From luggage storage before check-in to check-out, the service was excellent. The staff were very gentlemanly, patiently answering all questions. Highly recommend.
