Shanghai Municipal Archives Tours

There isn’t much in the area of the hotel so if you want peace and quiet, this is definitely the place to be. I had to be in the main center of Pudong at the SNIEC and Xuhui District every day though. Getting to and from here was a challenge sometimes. I should’ve and could’ve done better research so that’s really on me. The front desk staff are fairly good. My severely limited Mandarin and Shanghainese probably didn’t make things easier. I did notice, however, that they were quite helpful with locals so that’s a plus. I recommend that those who are lacking in the vernacular such as myself should extend patience and courtesy. They’re just doing their jobs. The room l had was on the ground level. It was comfortable and clean. I’m usually not okay with not being on an elevated floor but this surprisingly was not a problem in the least! The room was secure enough that l was never disturbed by any unwanted noise. The thick curtains certainly kept the room dark and gave me privacy from all activity outside my balcony. The massage place next door was a great way to cap off daily walks of 16,000++ steps, albeit on pricey side. It’s a legit place so don’t get any “funny ideas.” The reception staff and therapists really made a valiant effort in communicating even through my challenging linguistics. All in all, l ultimately had a good stay. Would l stay here again? I think so!

Very clean hotel, great service and staff really helpful
