NEW ASIA HOTEL SHANGHAI

"Not a bad place to stay, but also not the best value either. It's best attribute is that it is affordable and near the bund. Avoid using the room internet if possible. We were definitely overcharged for its use and there is no way to refute the charges. " - Hugh Wong

"Everything about the hotel was good and I would recommend it BUT two small things could be better: Internet access should be free. It is ridiculous to charge extra for this facility, which is now a "must have". It's like charging extra for running water! Water is included in the room rate. Internet access should be, too. The "western breakfast" was poor. It was in a "banquet room" upstairs and well before the end of the breakfast time, most of the items had run out. The staff were clearing food away about half an hour before the end. Overall, though, for the price, it was good and I will certainly stay there again. SB" - Sam Baird

"This was a good hotel that was reasonably priced. It was in the middle of town and only a short walk to Nanjing Road. If travelling now you may find roadworks on Henan Road, which may cause you to get lost if you divert. I suggest you pick up a map from the airport. The service and facilities of this hotel were good; and the staff speak English. Good for the business traveller or an overnight stay. Beware of dodgy taxi drivers bringing you from the airport. I was charged Y350 to travel from Pudong to the Hotel; it should only cost Y150 (about $20 USD). Not many taxi drivers speak English, so you may want to use the Chinese name of the Hotel: Xin A'zhou Fandian. No complaints about the hotel." - glen Snelgar

"one big mistake. dirty, smelly and too small. i requested non-smoking room but they put me in smoking room and just removed ashtray. when i complained about this, they said it is non-smoking room. location is very good but it is only merit. " - Anonymous
