This hotel seems better suited for business travelers rather than international tourists. The rooms are modern and offer a nice view towards the Bund, but the language barrier with the staff can be quite frustrating. While the location is fairly central, it's not particularly tourist-friendly with limited nearby dining options. The breakfast setup could use some improvement as well.

This hotel is modern with nice rooms and a great view towards the Bund, but it’s not really suited for international tourists. The location requires quite a bit of walking to reach metro stations, and the staff's limited English makes it hard to get help with tourist needs. The breakfast service is lacking, and the overall comfort is affected by noisy air conditioning and high temperatures in common areas.

This hotel seems to cater mainly to business travelers, especially those from China, making it less than ideal for international tourists. The modern rooms offer a nice view towards the Bund, but the lack of English-speaking staff and limited amenities for non-business guests is a real downside. The location requires a bit of walking to get to the nearest metro stations, and the overall dining experience was not satisfactory due to the limited options available nearby.
