they had made-to-order omelets, but everything serving cold except Chinese soup and Chinese congee.
They had 2 washer and dryer inside the laundry room
This hotel was great, cleaned every day and they were really helpful, meal available. Also laundry equipment available, was not noisy at night, bed was really comfy, i would definitely stsy there again as it was close to a lot of places to see
Overall, it wasn’t bad experience, but the building is being under renovation since it’s old building. The downside is the breakfast is and sufficient and missing lots of stuff, but if the price is right, I will stay again, but I won’t spend more than US$100 per night For king room

The “Not so Magnificent International Hotel” last had its hay day when Pamela Ewing drove her Chevrolet Corvette C3 up the gravel drive of Southfork.
Jaded and in need of a good pressure wash and maintenance this hotel retains most of its original features. (Including grubby carpet tiles)
The dusky moldy smell of the room took my breath away when I entered and had me grappling for my asthma puffer. There are definitely problems with damp and drainage in the bathrooms. But that’s to be expected from an aged building that has not been maintained.
Most staff appear to be like disgruntled and run when they see u coming. (Maybe because they cant speak English) From the doorman that doesn’t open doors to the reception staff who simply ignore guests.
The air conditioning only appears to work in the lobby and the rooms. The rest of the place is hot and uncomfortably humid, that includes the breakfast and restaurant area.
If u have low self esteem And don’t mind being treated with distain, like some grubby nostalgia in a reasonable location this might be the place for you.
Very good hotel, nice staff who can speak english and mandarin i would recommend this to anyone coming to shanghai, close to the underground metro and near all the shops and malls. Room service everyday getting clean towels and sheets
Great value, pleasant and helpful staff. Thank you

We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. We came at around 11am and they let us check right away, no questions asked. Beds were comfortable. Hotel was a bit old but it was comfortable and location is convenient. Staff are friendly. We also had a
View of the shanghai tower, which we did not expect. We are happy and would stay there again. Thanks!
The Magnificant is 200m from a tube station. This station Loaximen is very strategic connecting directly to one of the Shanghai airports. The rooms are spacious and given the hotels location I had a clear view of Shanghai tower breakfast is comprehensive. The hotel offers laundry. Basically Magnificant.
