There are a number of areas that did not match the impression I had prior to arrival.
Firstly, the hotel shares its premises with a youth hostel with the hotel rooms on Level 9 only. To get to level 9, you have to first take a lift to Level 8 before transferring to another lift. This was extremely troublesome especially when you need to go to reception for any matter.
The rooms are laid out like a maze and it was easy to get lost in the maze until you get the hang of it.
On my first night, they had me in a windowless room that smelled very strongly of medicated oil. This room was extremely stuffy but they were kind enough to move me to a room with a window, though it was much smaller with no chairs and wardrobe to hang your clothes.
I liked that the rooms had a washing machine with dryer which was a convenient way to wash your clothes on the go.
The gym was in a carved out space next to reception, making it extremely weird and strange to be working out.
The shopping mall that the hotel is connected to has seen better days, looking rather lacklustre though it was nice to have easy access to a supermarket.
Staff members were generally kind and obliging though it was easy to miss them as they were often hiding behind a messy and cluttered reception counter.
The hotel is also at least a 10-15min walk to the nearest metro stations so something to keep in mind when booking.

We stayed here on a weekend trip to Shanghai. A hotel converted to the Campanile brand, it lacked the feel and facilities of the Jing'an and Middle Huaihai Road branches. Room was ok, with the facilties that you would expect - we particularly liked the seating area (although people. Wouldn't be able to watch the TV from here in they wanted) and the stand up desk area would be useful if someone needed to work from here. Location is easy to find and across the road from the Shanghai Stadium metro station and a mall.
