Independent, Jing'an Hotels

Nice hotel. Feels a bit like the Bulgari in Milano but not quite there yet. Spacious rooms and very nice lobby.

Had a reasonable stay at Ladoll for a week. Stayed in a Superior Suite (518) which was comfortable but smaller than indicated in the photos provided by the Hotel. The kitchen facilities were poor mainly comprising a battered pan and saucepan and jug, with no toaster, and a couple of knives spoons etc. The microwave and fridge were old but in good working order. Room cleanliness was OK although am not sure how frequently the bedding was changed. The entire suite was NOT in good general condition and obviously was due for renovation. There are no foreign TV stations provided although CCTV does have a reasonable English language News channel. Staff were helpful and efficiently arranged a taxi which arrived on time for trip to the airport. I paid about Au$130 pd for the suite which I thought to be a bit overpriced -although this particular area of Shanghai is expensive.

設備齐全，洗完的衣服，服务員还会代掛乾！办公室在十九層，没有事先註明，到时难免不知去那办！ 地点也極其方便！ Lobby is situated at 19th floor which was not made clear before hand!

on line 2 in fact 50m only nanjing west lu. plenty shops around high end brands

This is an interesting, historic and beautiful hotel. Close to good shopping district (10 mins walk) and a lively bar district (15 mins). The room decor is a bit old but fits in with the atmosphere. Fantastic buffet breakfast is included in the price. The staff seemed a bit remote and tepid, not very welcoming and weren't forthcoming with their help like a good hotel should be. For example: The desk staff don't acknowledge you passing them as you went in and out, no "welcome" or "goodnight" like you'd expect. Maybe because they get a lot of visitors that come just to look round. After going out for breakfast the first morning we received breakfast tickets for the following morning and discovered the fantastic (inclusive) buffet, then we discovered that we had actually received tickets for the first morning in our check-in pouch but weren't informed that we had them; so we missed one very nice breakfast. The restaurant (buffet) staff were inattentive during our first visit, welcomed us to our table but then abandoned us without any directions. On our subsequent visits visits they got better (offered, and brought us coffee). Had to search for the omelette chef and the younger staff spent a lot of time chatting amongst themselves. It all felt like the service associated with a lower-star hotel. Overall, a nice stay and would recommend this place to others for a first stay, but next time we'll try another similar-star hotel in this same area.

Walking distance from the French Concession aria, restaurants and bars right at the corner, clean and comfy rooms and beds, affordable room rates. Our expedia booking had 24h wifi inclueded but the signal wasn't too strong. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Shanghai.

An excellent service apartment to stay in overall. First night might take a little use to the area, but it is a safe area overall and walking distance to the nearest shopping strip just south of it. Food are within 5 mins walks and a 24hr convenience store is just across the street. Highly secure area, as they have a 24/7 security posted along with lift card access required to enter the individual apartment levels. Great support from the administrator staff too. Was stranded in Beijing due to typhoon so was unable to check in till 1am. Administrator stayed in late to assist in checking me in (kindly note, this is a service apartment not a hotel so normally administrator or concierge service is not part of the package) A name card was given too to reach the staff if you have any issues along with hotel details. Amenities are equipped, Apartment staff will come once every two days to change your beddings and towels along with doing some minor cleaning. Free Wifi too with reasonable speed not slow. Only issue i had was perhaps trying to communicate with the staff on the phone, staff are able to communicate only in basic english. Would be great if staff are able to converse well in english too. Subway are some distance from the hotel, so if you plan to travel around using the subway prepare to wake up early to walk to subway.

The hotel was in a convenient location near the Shanghai Exhibition Center. Staff was very nice and helpful. Room clean.

It was a short trip to Shanghai and I only need 2 nights for accommodation. This hostel just fits what I need. Good place for taking a rest at night and go on for your journey in the next morning!
