I stayed in this hotel for three nights as I was traveling through Asia and made to stop in Shanghai.
As the biggest advantage, I want to point out the location and the price. I paid around 35 EUR / 285 CYN per night for my room. The hotel was around 15 minutes by car from the city center (Financial Center, Shanghai Tower) and around the same time using the Shanghai Metro, which is very close to the hotel. The location combined with the price I paid is pretty much unbeatable for Shanghai Relations.
However, I want to give some heads up that I especially noticed during my stay:
- Although the rooms were generally clean and as described and shown on the pictures there was some weird glue on my bed frame. Other parts of the room looks a bit like they've been poorly repaired.
- The rooms and the corridors of the hotel are quite renovated and modern, but the overall building is not. The staircase looked like ready for demolition and paint is flaking off the exterior walls. Also, the main entrance of the hotel felt more like the back entrance and their thereby not very inviting.
- The room service at their work daily, but they missed on vacuuming the room, as well as changing the bed sheets or even make the beds which I'm used to in other hotels.
- The staff, unfortunately, doesn't speak English at all. This is nothing super special for China, but be prepared to use a translator app if you're not able to speak Chinese.
Again, if you are looking for a budget hotel and location is the most important aspects I can recommend the hotel. If you want a little bit more in terms of quality and service I'd recommend a different place, but you should also be ready to pay more. This being south price evaluation ratio of this hotel is about OK.
