Questions & Answers

I will be arriving earlier/later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

I will be arriving earlier/later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

Usually this is not a problem; you can arrange for an after-hours check-in with most hotels. However, you should always confirm with the hotel. You can use the "Special Requests" box in the booking process to inform them of your estimated arrival time in writing. It's important to remember that the property can't always accommodate these requests. It's always best to check with the property directly and in advance to avoid confusion. You can contact the hotel directly by calling them, the local telephone number you can get from Nehow's Local Guide after you finish the booking.

I want to check out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

I want to check out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

A late check-out can only be arranged with the hotel and usually depends on availability at the time of your stay. You can ask about the possibility at the front desk upon arrival.

    The rooms in the hotel are excellent and service is good. The hotel is in walking distance of the bund and the man shopping street of Shanghai. There is little street noice. So you are ensured of a good night sleep.

  • Amazing Hotel

    We spent two nights here as a family of three. The staff were incredibly professional and all spoke very good english. The hotel was beautiful, our room was spacious and clean and the location made it so easy to go out for parts of the day and come back with our family to rest before going out again. We loved our stay here.

  • Awesome hotel!

    Plantation, Florida | Jul 6, 2025 | Trip type: Family

    We just got back from our first trip to China and this was the best hotel we stayed at. It has an amazing breakfast buffet and a great location. Just a 3 minute walk to shops on Nanjing road and a 15-20 minute walk to the Bund. It also has softer beds, which we are more accustomed to, a rare find in China. Lastly, they have a very convenient ATM in the lobby that did not charge us any exchange fee when we needed to withdraw more money. The staff was friendly and helpful. You can borrow their umbrellas for days with inclement weather, which is very helpful.

  • Excellent Hotel, Excellent Location

    Portsmouth, United Kingdom | Jun 25, 2025 | Trip type: Family

    Stayed here for a couple of nights and the place is great, easy going and helpful staff and a fantastic central location as the name suggests.
    The bedrooms and bathrooms were really spacious and well maintained and there are restaurants and a bar in the hotel and the buffet breakfast was excellent.
    You are able to wonder out and down Nanjing Road, which leads you down to the Bund, which is a hive of activity during the day as well as at night and within a 5 minute walk there are some great restaurants and shops.
    The only thing I would say is that if you wonder out a bit later in the evening as a lone male be prepared to be approached every 5 minutes with offers of massages and the company of very pretty girls !!
    Really good Hotel though for the price and would recommend

    Super hotel, Art deco decor and very central. A short walk to the Bund along a mainly pedestrian street. Easy to spot with its crown top. Breakfast good options as with all China. As with all China, dont expect many to speak English but it felt very safe walking around.
