Echarm Hotel Shanghai North Bund Tilanqiao subway station

Very friendly reception, fast check in. Our room was clean, we enjoyed our 2 days stay. Many shops and restaurants around, 7 minutes walking to the subway and less than 30 minutes to the railway station.

Mu room has a very bed smell came from the bathroom. Turning on the circulator fan in the bathroom can help reduce it (take very long time until I do not smell it) but it fill the bathroom with smoking smell. The staffs seemed not communicate with each other well since I asked A to help me book a taxi to go to airport, but later I knew that booking through Didi is much more cheaper so I told to B (since A was not there that time) that please cancel my booking, I worried that maybe A noted somewhere about my booking before so I repeated 3 times to make sure she understand and she said “yes, you can book through Didi first and if you cannot catch a taxi on Didi we will help you to call a taxi”. However, the next day when I go to the reception desk to confirm the address with the staff there (in this time, the staff was C) to book my taxi through Didi, he said he already called a taxi for me and the taxi was right here in front of the hotel. So I had no other choice. Luckily I hadn’t booked Didi when I was in the room so I can go with the taxi called by the staff, I dont know what should I do if I had booked Didi and there had been two taxies!

It was kind a little far away from the Bund. And front desk didn’t know how to speak English.

Nice hotel, they let me check in early which was very kind.
