4/10 Fair

This property does not turn the air conditioning on in the spring or the fall so if you have a warm night and you need it cool to sleep don’t stay here. I inquired like four times and they told me they can’t turn the AC on yet because it’s centralized, but when you walk in the lobby it’s freezing in the hallways are freezing, but my room was warm. . Finally after not sleeping for two nights, I elevated to the manager and they fixed it and it lasted for about two hours and then went off again, so I had to call again and it lasted for about two hours and went off again. I need it to be a little cooler so if you’re OK with mid 70s to high 70s in your room you’ll be fine and it’s a great location and very clean and the staff is very nice I just don’t get not having air conditioning in China the first week of May. This has happened to me the last couple times when I stayed in May or October. Hope they fix it because I love the location.

DAY LIGHT ROBBERY
The room was a bit small. I could not believe that i paid CNY52 for a soft drink in the bar, day light robbery to say the least. I expected to pay a bit more since it is a hotel bar so i did not look at the price upon ordering, but CNY52 for a can of 7UP is just absolutely ridiculous, the same would cost CNY3 in the shop.

Clean but never-ending Internet issues
As far as hotels in Shanghai go, the Equatorial is quite clean (which, if you've tried many hotels in Shanghai, you'll know is noteworthy) and the beds are comfortable. I live in a nearby city and whenever we come to spend time in Shanghai, we stay here but the internet connections almost always fail us. It's a problem at most Shanghai hotels we've tried. If you need to do work during your stay, you may need to choose a more expensive option.

Clean comfortable hotel in great location
Very convenient location at JingAn Temple, walking distance to metro station. It’s also the express shuttle bus departure/destination point to Pudong airport. The room and hotel conditions are average for this 4 star hotel. One annoying thing during my stay is often heard the staff talking loudly in the corridor, possibly due to the fact my room is too close to staff room

Loosing its touch and value for money
Compared to previous stays at the hotel I was very disappointed. The staff were not at the front door to take my bags out of the taxi. Asked at the desk to get a taxi but person was reluctant to get wet and used an app instead. Two people managed to get ahead of me. On previous stays they were very vigilant. The breakfast was cold. Had difficulty in getting some eggs fried. Wanted me to take eggs that were cooked at least an hour previous.
