Worth weighing
5 to weigh- A noisy, dirty street outside — Zhapu Lu is lively but can be smelly and dirty, with street vendors and heavy foot traffic—some guests find it unpleasant.
- Not right on the Bund — The hotel is in Hongkou, about a 20-30 minute walk to the Bund itself. Some may prefer to be closer to the waterfront.
- Reviews are mixed on the area — While many like the local feel, the district's condition and the lack of English menus in nearby restaurants can be a drawback for some.
- In-room internet may need a lead — Free Wi-Fi is listed, but at least one guest mentions having to request a connection lead for their room.
- Bar and restaurant service can be inconsistent — The on-site bar is rarely open, and while the restaurant has fans, it may not always be available.

5.7Verified guest“The hotel's location was the standout, making it easy to get around. Rooms were spacious and clean, with a fridge handy for snacks. The included breakfast added convenience.”
5.7Verified guest“The big bed gave me the best sleep I've had in a while, and the free Wi-Fi was a bonus.”
5.7Verified guest“Location-wise, it's a 5-minute walk from North Sichuan Rd metro and just two stops from East Nanjing Rd. Zhapu Lu is a bustling street full of shops, restaurants (mostly Chinese menus), and street vendors, which makes it lively but also dirty and smelly for my taste. Wujing Lu nearby is famous for street food, from noodles to scorpions. Inside, it feels like a luxury 4-star hotel with a cosy reception and a bar that's rarely open. When it is, they serve decent coffee, tea, and excellent croissants (they've mastered the French version) plus cakes at 5-10 yuan. The deluxe rooms on the 9th floor were big, clean, with very comfortable beds and views, plus tea/coffee facilities and TV. No complaints.”
5.7Verified guest“Convenient Hongkou location, within walking distance of the metro. Rooms tidy and clean with comfy beds and spacious bathrooms. Staff, especially housekeeping, are pleasant. Plenty of restaurants nearby.”
5.7Verified guest“Perfect spot within walking distance of the Bund, with a large room, cool bathroom, and friendly staff. Great value.”
5.7Verified guest“The location is poor—the hotel sits on a dirty street.”
