Shanghai Oriental Sports Center

Nice hotel, bit far away from most things and the subway. Strong cirgerette smell if we didn't have the bathroom exhaust fans on. Room is not soundproof but property wasn't offensively noisy.

Excellent location is superb with only less than 5 mins to People’s Park Square station. Once you Exit 19 from the MRT station, please use google map to make your way which takes only less than 5 minutes to the hotel. I booked the standard room with window view and the hotel highest floor is only on the 4th floor. Modern yet compact room that has all the necessary toiletries provided. It even comes with an air purifier which is necessary I believed to remove the sewage stench smell inside the bathroom. In addition it has free beverages like 2 bottles of natural spring water and 1 can of coke and 1 can of Sprite free in addition to the standard coffee and tea. The wifi is ok but it seems that can only hold for 1 device only as attempt to use another device is restricted but prove me wrong as the day I start using wifi there are issues reported worldwide. There are an assortment of tv programs and movies, etc for free as well as pay per subscription on its 40 inch tv. Most importantly there is also a 7/11 convenience store just opposite the hotel. Many shopping malls and restaurants in the vicinity also.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Clean. Area around is quiet and a bit further away from attractions but still has a mall around with food options.
