Jimu Xiaozhu Hotel (Shanghai Jing'an Temple)

Location: Highly praised for proximity to Jing’an Temple metro station , nearby restaurants, shops, and Metro Line 2 access.(based on 556 reviews)

The staff tried to force me to write a review (asked me to hand over my phone so she should do it) when I asked about luggage storage before I even checked out! Unethical behaviour! There is a LOT of mould and other gross brown/black residue in the bathroom, both shower and sink. I encountered the same even after I changed rooms. The faucet in one room was also not tight and lifted every time I went to wash my hands. Really noisy hallways - I could hear other people's alarms and talking. There's hair conditioner, but no body lotion. There's a laundry room (dumb machines with no LCD displaying time estimate) that's open any time, but no fridge or gym. The front desk will sign for packages, but you can't have things delivered to your room. I liked that the non-smoking rooms were indeed so, though I still smelled some cigarettes in the hallway. Location is okay, but not as convenient as others. About 15min walk to line 14. It's okay if you don't have a lot of luggage, but with rolling bags and rain, it wasn't so convenient. A lot of mosquitoes in the room, though they give you a plug-in for nighttime.

I have stayed at this very nice hotel many times when I am in Shanghai. Comfortable, spacious rooms in a great location, for a good price. The girls at the receptio, Jinjing and Cancan are very helpful. Thanks again and see you next time!
