Hanting Hotel Shanghai Babaiban Pudian Road Subway Station

The facilities were clean and new. For the price, I'd give it a 10 in this category. The staff was very friendly and helpful but you will need to be able to speak Mandarin to get the max level of service. Just pointing and doing phone translations will only get you so far. Definitely ask them to make coffee for you each day. They have a coffee machine in the lobby that you either can pay for the drinks with Wechat/Alipay .. or ask the staff to make it for you for free. We paid for the buffet breakfast -- the normal price is 25CNY but if you have a China phone number, you can install the Hanting app to be a "points member" and get the breakfast for 16.5CNY. (If you don't read Chinese, the staff can do the signup for you on your phone.) They change the breakfast slightly everyday so it's a good bargain to fill up your stomach before heading out to visit Shanghai. Otherwise, just trying to find a different breakfast everyday will cut down on how much time you have. There are a lot of local restaurants nearby but I'd say the quality of the food is not as good as some of the "well known" places. However, it's much cheaper. For example, a well known place will give you a rated 10 Xiao Long Bao for 30CNY for 8. Meanwhile the local restaurants here charge 8-10CNY for 8 XLB but the taste/quality is about a 6.

The hotel is in downtown. The Pudian metro station is just walkable distance . The location has so many shops and restaurants.

Everything was good, including hotel, location and services.

Nice room, good price. Has all amenities within proximity

It was clean and well organized, good breakfast and friendly staff. not far from subway.
