This hotel is situated in the best place of the area 2 MTR exits (no.1 and 5) both just accross the hotel. Hotel room is nice and complete. Very impressive toilet, huge size, clean and strong water. The hotel itself is very good and nice for me.
There’s alot of bottle water at the front desk, so just grab and go.
Customer service. This is the thing this hotel lack the most. They are run by a bubch of young kids that for me is not even well trained for customer service, no english at the front and even calling them. They doesnt know the tone for dealing with the customer, they are like just want to get over with you right away and don’t bother them please. I ask to confirmed that my reservation comes with breakfast, what the kid told me if you book with a room with breakfast then you have it!, they dont even bother take a mile to check and reconfirmed.
The cleaner just dump the trolley at the hallway making it has a bad smell.
I think this hotel serve the locals more than the foreigner.
Overall, satisfy with the hotel and specially the wash room, but not the customer service aspect.

The owner of the hotel is very nice. The front desk staffs is friendly and help full.
The location is very accessible.
Owner of the hotel recommend us a restaurant that offer good breakfast and was recognised by China gov.
After searching in the web we really can't find the place as this restaurant is well know only by the local.

They don't speak English at all. They do everything with a translation device they have. They asked for extra money, saying they would give us a room with a larger bed. When we refused, they bargained over the price. When we still refused and said we would see both rooms and decide based on that, they immediately gave us the larger room.
The breakfast was the same every day. There were very few vegetarian options, and the quality was quite poor.
The soundproofing in the room was also very poor. The hotel is located at the intersection of two main roads, and all the street noise can be heard in the room. Even when the people in the next room take a shower, all the noise comes through.
Location-wise, it's excellent, though. You can walk to The Bund or Yu Yuan Garden in just 5 minutes.
In summary: if you have the budget to go to Shanghai, spend a few more dollars and stay in a more reasonable hotel, because you won't feel very happy in this one. But if you're on a tight budget and want to stay in a hotel instead of a hostel and walk everywhere, this hotel is for you.
Response from Property: English Response to Negative ReviewDear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your recent stay. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by our subpar customer service, which fell far short of the standards we strive to deliver.We are pleased that you appreciated our prime location (conveniently opposite Metro Lines 1 and 5 exits), well-appointed rooms, and the spacious, clean bathroom with excellent water pressure—these are aspects we continuously aim to maintain. We also note your positive comment on the complimentary bottled water at the front desk.However, we deeply regret the frustrations you encountered with our team. The lack of English proficiency, inadequate communication skills, and the perfunctory manner in which your breakfast reservation was handled are unacceptable. We also apologize for the unpleasant odor and inconvenience caused by the housekeeping cart left in the corridor. Rest assured, we are immediately implementing targeted training programs for our young team—focusing on English communication, customer-centric service, and proactive problem-solving—to ensure such issues do not recur. We are also reinforcing our housekeeping protocols to maintain a tidy and pleasant environment throughout the hotel.Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to regain your trust and welcome you back for a vastly improved experience. Please feel free to contact us directly at [email/phone] if you wish to discuss further.

very closed to Yuyuan metro station Exit 5 (just across the street) and Exit 1. Hotel staffs have service mind even they cannot speak English but they try and use translator machine. 虽然有小问题, 但我觉得服务不错,而且价格合理。 下次我们还想来这家酒店住。

This hotel is not reach the standard of normal Ji hotel. Other than the good location, we are disappointed. Lobby is messy. Reception staff was not giving information clearly.

Not recommended, not worth the price. This is the worse room during my whole trip.

The hotel is in a good location and very clean. The rooms are on the smaller size but large enough to move around. The breakfast however was poor. It had a very limited selection of dishes (even for Chinese standards), and it certainly did not cater to western taste. The coffee machine ran out of coffee by 9am. Never refilled. And it only offered espresso type coffee. Very limited number of tables, crowded in a small room. I recommend a stay if you're after the location, but have your breakfast elsewhere.

The hotel is located near MRT 10 and 14 and not too far from Yuyuan garden . Room is quite clean. It’s only one small convenience store near the hotel.

It was good experiance over an all, but staff does not speak english so it was harder to get information we needed.
Response from Property: The hotel can take Metro Line 11 directly to Shanghai Disney Resort. There are restaurants, entertainment, shopping, banks and other places around the hotel! The hotel is equipped with a breakfast room and wireless WIFI, making it your first choice for business travel and leisure accommodation! I often see guests leaving me. Although I feel sad, I hope to meet you again next time. I will wait for you here. Xiaoji loves you wholeheartedly.

Location of the hotel is very convenient as it is only a stone throw again from the Yu Yuan metro station and within walking distance to Yu Garden & the Bund. Concierge staffs are very attentive & responsive although at times they seemed quite busy with daily parcels/food ordered by their guests besides attending to enquiries and requests. It is time consuming mostly to locate the parcels so I appreciate their patience. Food deliveries are sent to the rooms by robots which is quite fast & efficient 😊 Rooms cleaning can be daily upon requests. The cleaning ladies are mostly friendly & polite! Best of all is there a laundry room with 2 washing machines & 2 dryers which are self service & free of charge!. There are detergents provided as well! ! Breakfast at CNY40 is affordable but can’t expect a very wide spread.
Response from Property: 非常感謝您對小季地理位置的認可,酒店比鄰城隍廟、豫園、外灘、南京東路步行街、淮海路商圈。酒店距離城隍廟豫園500米,距離南京路步行街及外灘步行約10分鐘。酒店門口地鐵10號線可直達虹橋火車站、虹橋機場;換乘地鐵2號線可直達國家會展中心、新國際博覽中心、陸家嘴(東方明珠/海洋公園)、上海科技館、浦東國際機場等。身邊常見客相離,雖有不捨在心中,欲盼下次再相聚,靜候此處待君歸,小季對您全心全意 ~

Highly recommended, room was clean and spacious(for the room that we booked) , more importantly it’s very convenient and comfortable.
The metro station is literally across the road and the staff were very helpful as well.
