Jimei Xueju Select Apartment (Shanghai Minhang Jiaotong University Huashi University)

I was very satisfied with my stay. From the moment I checked in, I felt comfortable. The front desk staff were warm and professional, and the check-out process was also very quick. The room was exceptionally clean, with every corner well-maintained and no unpleasant odors. The bed was just right in terms of firmness, allowing for a very peaceful sleep. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for dining and transportation. The overall environment is quiet and peaceful. It's suitable for both business trips and leisure travel, offering great value for money. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit and highly recommend it to everyone!

Check-in and check-out were simple and hassle-free. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience."]

A truly perfect stay! The room was spotless, and came equipped with all the essentials like a fridge, washing machine, and microwave. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful, with easy access to dining, shopping, and public transport. The apartment's service was also excellent. Definitely the top choice for a short-term stay near Jiao Tong University or East China Normal University!

1. First off, the location was really hard to find. Every time I returned to the hotel, I had to wait for someone else to open the downstairs access door. If I came back late, there was no telling how long I'd have to wait for someone to let me in. 2. The room reeked of smoke, and even after changing rooms, the smoke smell was still incredibly strong. The room was tiny; the bathroom was just big enough for one person to stand and shower, and you had to stand next to the toilet to do it. 3. The hygiene was terrible. There was an old sock left behind, who knows from when. Don't even get me started on under the bed – if something fell, a quick look underneath revealed it was full of trash. I didn't even want my item back after seeing that. 4. The male receptionist had a terrible attitude. I arrived at 2 PM, and the room wasn't ready. He told us to wait and just kept watching a game live stream. Half an hour later, when I asked him how much longer, he was still unhelpful and kept watching his live stream. He probably knew the room wasn't great because he offered me a 10 RMB discount and asked me to book offline and pay him via WeChat.

I found this apartment to be objectively and subjectively terrible, frankly uninhabitable. Firstly, the apartment entrance was incredibly hard to find. My navigation app couldn't locate it directly; I had to navigate through the order details on the platform. Secondly, this seems to be a semi-self-service apartment. There's no front desk; communication is primarily through WeChat with the owner. It also felt like the owner rarely checks on the apartment's condition, as the entrance was plastered with flyers (I'm not sure if this is typical, or if my room just happened to be near the elevator, making it worse). Thirdly, the interior environment of the apartment was awful. It smelled, felt cramped, and all the furniture was very old. I booked a 'special offer family room,' which was supposed to have a 1.5m (or was it 1.2m? I forget) bed and an 80cm small bed. Only upon arrival did I realize the small bed was a folding bed, and it was blocking the balcony door. This meant the door couldn't open. The space was already tiny, and with three people, there was barely any room to move, let alone space for luggage. It felt like they just crammed a folding bed into a regular double room, called it a 'family room,' and charged extra for it. In the end, I didn't even stay there and immediately booked another hotel. I barely took any photos; I just wanted to leave that place as quickly as possible. I originally thought it would be convenient being close to the subway and near a university, and that a 200-yuan hotel wouldn't be too bad. But alas... I learned my lesson for 200 yuan. I won't make too many recommendations here, as I might just be an isolated case. This review solely represents my personal opinion.
