This was a unique find - a series of interconnected lane houses renovated to form a hotel. Located amidst actual lane houses, you get a very local vibe and a real slice of life in Shanghai. At the same time, it was close to the gentrified neighbourhood of Xintiandi, giving you a lot of options in terms of food and shopping. Our particular room was a 2-floor loft, with one single bed on the ground floor, and a double/queen bed on the very roomy loft area. One negative was that the airconditioning does not quite reach the upper loft area (because of the 2-floor configuration), unless you leave it whilst you are out of the hotel. The bathroom (particularly the shower), was quite small, although quite clean. The sink is located outside of the bathroom, on a little island counter that also contains a washing machine and refrigerator. All the basics we there as well - hotel water kettle, hair dryer, toiletries, free wifi. Free coffee is also available at the lobby 24/7. The roof deck was also a great place to hang out if the weather is cool enough. The price was extremely reasonable, especially considering the great location and uniqueness of the property.
