"Loved this place and would happily stay here again. Look for the old Shanghai Bank building on the corner where there’s an overpass and that’s your best landmark for finding the place. I had to check in at 1am due to a hassle with my flight and it still went smoothly. Great having a noon checkout too. Some lovely local restaurants nearby. Fantastic value for money and very close to the East Nanjing subway station (5mins). "
