The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the nearest subway station, very close to Hongqiao airport. It's right next to Shanghai Zoo, the surrounding area is very safe, quiet and residential. I had a room facing the Zoo, I could hear the birds all the time, but not the noise of traffic. The walls of the room are not so clean, they show the water marks. The air conditioning is kind of dirty. The room has microwave and refrigerator, which is very convenient, I was able to store and eat my breakfast in the room. Nice hotel for the price I paid.
