The hotel is right across the street from the NYU Shanghai campus. It is a great location if you plan to spend any time around there. It is a few blocks to walk to the nearest metro. The hotel itself is clean, the rooms are good sized, and the price is very reasonable. Not all of the staff speaks English, but in each case where we needed help they were able to find somebody to help us. The breakfast buffet is ok, nothing special. There are a couple coffee shops and a subway near by, but not a lot of other places to eat.
