Hanting SH Plaza 66 3 stelle

Hello, I had a booking on April 24. I had left a message that I would be arriving late past midnight off a 14 hour flight. With the language barrier that Shanghai had, i showed up at the hotel to find out you cancelled my booking that day (while I was on a plane , expecting a place to stay) I was left at 2 am trying to find a place. Someone opening up a hanting hotel down the road put us up for 110 $ which was an absolute rip off considering the hotel hasnt even been built yet. I dont know if this was a scam and purposely done to someone foreign. it was so much stress highly reccomened not staying here.

The property looked great on booking.com .. but I wondered what the heck I'd stepped into once I arrived there. Now, this has nothing to do with the front office staff or the housekeeping staff, because they are so wonderful. (But I did employ a guide while I was there .. and he helped me to converse because there is no English spoken at the property.) But the staff cannot make up for the state of the property. It's terrible. The hallway carpets are filthy. What was once a gold carpet is now black. The front reception .. I don't know what is used to mop it but it smells like faeces. The hotel is probably 99% accommodated by domestic tourists who ignore the 'no smoking' signs and the floors smell of cigarette smoke, plus guests are always clearing their throat outside the main reception area (perfect for putting you off your breakfast and saving you calories for the day). But perhaps the grossest thing was the continual supply of 'girlie cards' being thrown under your door (about 10 cards per day). So you have this icky feeling that you are staying in a 'rent me by the hour' hotel, which is really off. Sorry Hanting Express .. I'd like to be complimentary, but I simply cannot be accept for your staff and the excellent location of the property (about 6 mins walk from East Nanjing Road station). It's located about another 6 minutes walk from the amazing Bund ... a true spectacle of Shanghai.

In zona centralissima, a 20 metri dalla, fermata metro East Nanjing road, e della omonima strada pedonale. A 200 metri dal Bund, proprio di fronte a Pudong. Hotel vecchiotto subito dall’entrata. Moquette nei corridoi delle camere piuttosto consumata e macchiata. La nostra camera era pulita, così come il bagno, letti comodissimi. Fischio incessante proveniente dall’esterno giorno e notte, probabilmente il motore di qualche macchinario. La sera si trovano infilate nelle porte foto di ragazze. Via vai continuo di gente. Staff impalpabile, nessuno parla mezza parola di inglese. Wifi buono solo nella hall. Nonostante tutto il prezzo compensa queste pecche, almeno per me.

They don't speak English! They don't bother to read anything written in English. I had informed them my late arrival in my booking letter. They didn't read it, so my booking was cancelled. After the argument, they gave us a room with smell and non-stopping noise. It was a terrible experience. 他們根本不看英文的訂房資料，資料上說明我們會延遲入住，但等我們在預定延遲的時間內到達時，前台卻告知我們的訂房已被取消，要住就要多付200人民幣，經爭論後，他們幫我們安排的房間充滿了油煙味，而且有永不休止的抽油煙機聲，雖然房間算乾淨，但臭味和吵雜聲讓我們難以入眠，建議不要入住！

This hotel is located very close to East Nanjing Road metro station, south of the pedestrian shopping street (Nanjing Road). It is north from intersection of Hankou Road and Shandong Middle Road, and not to be confused with another hotel of the same brand which is a couple of blocks south also on Shandong Middle Road I stayed two nights in single person room. The bed was soft and comfortably big for single person. As the bed took most of space in the bedroom, there was only a small desk and chair. Especially there was no place to hang your outdoor clothes. The bathroom was decent, with shower separated from rest of the room with a good glass door so showering did not wet the whole room. There was WIFI, but I could not get it to work in my first night. There was also slot and wire for broadband connection, but it did not work. In second night the WIFI worked fine. The air conditioning (in this case heating as it was cold outside) control unit was only in Chinese. If you don't understand Chinese and want to adjust it to your own preferences, you better try to ask hotel staff to set it for you. The staff did not speak very good English, but it was not too difficult to get registered and checked out.
