Great location, nice staff , rooms a little tired, but really comfy bed, good for our needs, excellent breakfast, would stay again

The noisiest room ive ever had to sleep in bar 1 hotel in Shanghai. Room 30 was on the corner of some sort of large vehicle parking area so had delivery lorrys until midnight-ish and then from 4.30am onwards. The street outside also has a constant flow of council collection vehicles (waste, bottle collection, recycling etc). The street outside the rooms window is cobbled so traffic sounds twice as loud. There are also several pubs near by whoch have a lot of passers bye and revelers. Not much sleep had during my stay.

Staff pleasant. Location good. Room very tired and tatty

We had to wait for the receptionist on check in.When we walked to the room my heart sank the decore and condition of the hallway was seedy and grubby.Frayed Threadbare carpet held down with tape.Scuffed and dirty paint work etc. The itself was ok if a little tired ,however it was stiflingly hot . We switched the radiator off and opened the windows and then went out for the evening When we returned to the room 3 hours later it was still too hot. The noise from the road outside our window made sleep almost impossible even with the windows closed and the still too warm room , but this isn’t the worst bit . We could here some body rattling the doors of the rooms on our floor , this went on for hours until the young woman started rattling the door on our room . I went to the door and said loudly , what are you doing whilst looking through the spy hole. I saw a woman in her mid twenties clearly under the influence of drugs and or alcohol stood there . She backed away from the door . A while later 4 police officers came and took her away , having parked the police car outside our window and talking for some minutes about the situation . At around 6 am we the heard 3 street sweeper vehicles coming past our room . One of them reversing with the beep beep noise. After such a terrible night we decided to cut short my wife’s birthday treat and went to check out . We used the locator on the reception several times but had to go and find someone. Emma the team leader apologised

Great location, rooms comfortable but dated. Very noisy early in the morning with lorries doing deliveries and the cathedral bells ringing so keep that in mind

this review is not aimed at the staff but the owners.My room was not clean because it was uncleanable. Peeling wall paper threadbare and dirty carpets, mould in the bathroom, dirty and scuffed walls. The wifi couldn't connect, there were no USB ports, the tv didn't work and the remote control was so dirty is was a health hazard. th ebuilding looks like it hasn't had any investment for decades. Don't fall for the excuse from Greene King that it is a an old building and it is quirky. It is dilapidated.

Room and bed clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay, location is good for both shopping and transport links and the staff are all very helpful. The breakfast was amazing but you need to book in advance as we left it too late on one day and as they were fully booked we had to go elsewhere.
