I chose this unique hotel because I wanted to experience a piece of history, and I had a very satisfying stay! The hotel is right next to Waibaidu Bridge, offering picturesque views from the window. Unlike some hotels where windows only open a crack, these open wide, allowing for beautiful scenic photos. Every staff member I encountered during my stay was thoughtful and friendly. Whenever I requested something, it was delivered quickly, often with an extra item, which made me feel very cared for. The breakfast selection was extensive, and the various small breads were exceptionally good. I'd suggest replacing the condensed milk served with the peach bun with fresh cream for an even better taste. The hotel also partners with a travel photography service, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the charm of old Shanghai and capture unique memories during their stay. It's inevitable that the hotel facilities are dated, given its age, but from the overall decor and layout to the charmingly worn furniture and the excellent service, you can truly feel the unique historical charm and 'Haipai' (Shanghai style) character that time has bestowed upon this building. If you're looking for the convenience of modern technology, this isn't the place. But if you want to savor a nostalgic, retro, slow-paced lifestyle, this is an excellent choice.
