Not a 4-star hotel
Whoever gives these star ratings should visit and check. This is not a 4-star hotel.
Upon entering the lobby, it had the look of "love hotel" with large red LOVE letters lined up. The plastic key was worned out, and the hallway was dark and not air-conditioned (it was 30 degrees C at night).
The room was dark due to dark carpeting, and it had dusty smell (probably due to thick dark carpet with patterns).
Suffice what I have said so far, you get what you pay for. This was a low-budget hotel. The large rooms had Renaissance-flavored decoration, which comes short on practicality. It was near where I had to go.
This hotel has Victorian styling and trim everywhere. Just staying here feels like an adventure -something that you cannot really find in bigger chains. The staff is extremely friendly and does their absolute best to make you feel comfortable. Knowing a little Mandarin will help get what you want overall but they have always been able to find someone who can speak English at all hours of the day/night.
The rooms have clean/comfortable beds and pillows and highspeed internet. Power is completely turned on/off via roomkey insert which is very eco. However in the winter this also turns off the heat which makes for an extremely cold room when returning from work. The only two complaints I have are the design of the shower/bath which tends to flood the entire bathroom floor during use. The other is that their eco-minded practice of aerating the building through opening windows tends to make for very cold hallways in the winter.
Breakfast is Chinese style with a few western tidbits available. It is overall simple but is tasty and does the job. They don't have a gym, spa, or pool, but I heard that a massage parlor will be available in a few months.
The surrounding area has a very Shanghai local feel with a modest variety of shops and a good variety of restaurants from street food to banquet hall cuisine with prices that will actually be difficult to break the budget. Other more touristy places are easily reached within a few minutes via taxi.
