Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
In the 'real' Shanghai beneath the high-rise buildings, seeing people as they go about their day, back from main roads. AC was a it strong, especially in the bathroom. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially Tao and May. Some maps/brochures/helpful tourist information would be good. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property itself is pretty nice and the staff are fantastic, but it's worth noting that this location is actually a 20 min walk from the closest metro station and a further 10 mins on the subway away from People's Park. There is another Dayin just a few minutes walk from People's Park - don't get confused like I did!
