You get what you pay for
No one speaks English, one desk person used his phone to translate. There is breakfast,difficult to know the time of serving different times depending on day. Beds are firm like the floor and one blanket, no heating, no insulation. Friend's room had a window in the shower and could be seen from bedroom.

Jitai Hotel is Ok
A bit of a walk to nearest metro at Shaanxi South station, line 1 & 10, but location is ok. You want exit 3 at station but a long walk up to street level so take exit 4 and walk across past the entrance to exit 3 and keep going. Walk straight until you come to Julu Rd. then turn right and find 242 on the left side of the road. A branch of ICBC is not far - go out hotel and turn left, turn right at first corner, it's on the left side of street in next block. A great Yunnan restaurant called Di Shui Dong is nearby. Biggest problems - off/on again wifi & I made the mistake of choosing a windowless room. You can get better rooms but further away. Value for money would be ok if same rate for a room with a window in same location.

Quite close to the subway
Our experience was a bit ok though we chose a room without a window. Had i known that there was no window in it, i wouldnt choose it but instead choose a room with a window. Exhaust was not really functioning well so everytime we got inside the room, bad odor welcomed us. We were staying there for 6 days. Food? They served the same breakfast menu the whole time. Though i like their food, but it would be good to serve with a lot of options. Good thing is that, it's quite closer to subway line 1. It's so easy to transfer or go to another places. But a lot of taxi drivers didnt know about the hotel. If you wanna stay there, please prepare important chinese words because all the hotel staff do not know how to speak english.

We'll located but shabby and in need of updating.
No internet to speak of - some staff helpful but others disinterested. Getting around difficult if you don't speak Chinese and the walls are thin, the place a bit dank and in need of update. Cheap but not that cheerful

Good location, mediocre standard
I stay here weekly. First, the title +location information is WRONG. The hotel is nowhere near Renmin Square. It's at a great location though, on Julu Rd, between Ruijin +Maoming Roads, about equidistant between South Shaanxi Road + West Nanjing Road metros. It's 10 minutes walk to either metro and from there you can quickly access all of Shanghai's attractions. It's an old style hotel, with some charm, but very run down, and things are often not working. On different stays, there's been trouble with either heating, hot water or wifi. There are the standard issues with Chinese hotels: smoking everywhere, including in the lobby, escort cards under your door, a complete absence of window cleaning and sometimes (not always, some are helpful) surly staff. If these things shock you, good luck avoiding them in this country! But, on the whole, the location and a little deco charm do the trick. IMPORTANT: Some sites will show this hotel with an option for "Room with Windows". Be aware that only the 3rd tier "Business" option has windows with street views. The 2nd tier "Room with Windows" will get often you an internal room with a window onto a lightless shaft and wall. NOTE: There's currently construction work opposite which may annoy those who want to sleep during the day.

Good Location
Location was good near the main street in Shanghai and close to everything pretty much in the middle of the CBD area. The service wasn't up to sratch as i waited one hour to check in because they could'nt find my booking. The free breakfast as advertised be warned its chinese only.

Great area!
The hotel was not far from the South Shaanxi station. Shopping and food are close by. The only thing about the hotel was that the room key kept not working. So I had to keep going to the front desk to get it re-activated. I think they do it on purpose. The room was clean, but had some mold on the walls. Looks like they at least attempted to clean it. The bed was big and really comfortable. They also included an traditional Chinese breakfast. The food looked good, but I didn't eat since I was in a hurry. I would stay again.

The most terrible hotel experience ever
I visited china more than once and shanghai is one of my favorites. Hotel is the first option for me as most of my visits are short. In all of my stays hotels seems reasonable, decent and clean, and were always value for money. This hotel is a clear exception. The hotel is filthy, uncomfortable, and above all, does not provide any of the services advertised for. On expedia, hotel claimed to provide free continental breakfast and free wifi. That was an absolute lie. Staff were untrained and subsequently unprofessional.

Convenient Location – Reasonable P Decent Service
My stay was brief (three days). The hotel is located conveniently close to the Bund and not too far from the financial district. It has reasonable prices, it is clean and the staff speaks reasonably good English. I had no complaints.

Over the entire hotel get 100%.
After i booked at the hotel i had lot of doubts regarding the hotel, but i finally decided to go and experience the hotel. My stay at the Jithai hotel was excellent. The rooms were good price was good and more over its location was excellent everything was so easily accessible. Staffs are very helpful but the only problem is English speaking. But the staff is so good that they actually take effort to understand your need and full fill them. Over the entire hotel get 100%.

値段相応
南京西路駅と淮海中路駅の中間に位置しどちらからも徒歩10〜15分程です。徒歩5分圏内にコンビニあり。 受付で英語は通じませんでした。またチェックイン時に1部屋につき100元のデポジットを現金であずけることになりました。100元はチェックアウト時に返却されます。 窓の鍵が壊れていて僅かにすきま風が入ってくるため暖房をつけないと少し寒いかもしれません。シーツやタオルがところどころ小さく破けている等していました。シャワーは不自由なく使えます。部屋に冷蔵庫がないこととポットが壊れている部屋があることが欠点だと思いました。 今回初めて上海旅行だったので比較対象がないのですが想像していたよりは快適で駅から少し歩く以外は特に不満な点もありませんでした。

vanha hotelli
Hissi haisee homeelle. Kolmen hengen huoneessa vain 2 kylpypyyhettä ja 2 vesipulloa. Toisena päivänä tuotiin kolmannet pyynnöstä, kun kolme työntekijää kävi katsomassa, että meitä oli kolme. Mutta kolmantena päivänä oli taas vain 2 kylpypyyhettä ja 2 vesipulloa. Ilma niin kosteaa, ettei pikkupyykki kuivunut vuorokaudessa. Mannermainen aamiainen oli riisiä, jonka seassa kananmunaa, tomaattia seassa kananmunaa, spagettia, joitain vokattuja vihanneksia, sämpylöitä riisijauhoista, kuumaa soijamaitoa ja kylmää vettä. Siis ei lihaa eikä kahvia eikä teetä. Henkilökunta ei ymmärrä englantia ja vain kiinankielisiä metrokarttoja oli tarjolla.

Hotel à éviter absolument
Cet hôtel n'est ni au standard Européen ni même au standard Chinois car sur nos 2 semaines d'itinérance nous avons pu largement constaté que c'était notre pire établissement. Il n'est pas normal qu'un site Français puisse laisser cet hôtel dans son catalogue!! Le hall d'accueil ne laisse rien paraitre mais il s'agit en fait d'un "hôtel de passe"(distribution de carte de visite de prostituées tout les soirs sous les portes de chambres, draps et sdb sales, salle de petits dèj à vous couper l'appétit,...)
