Joyous Hotel

Fui allí hace dos semanas. No quería comentar más, pero Ctrip me recordó que esta vez fue mi peor experiencia en un hotel. Quién hubiera pensado que en un hotel en el centro de Shanghai podría ser atacado por una cucaracha. ¿Tan grande como mi dedo meñique? A las 7 de la mañana, sentí vagamente que algo me mordía el muslo. Cuando me senté, de repente sentí que me mordieron el brazo. Vi una cucaracha enorme tumbada boca arriba a mi lado derecho. Ni siquiera sabía que estaba con esta cucaracha. ¿Cuánto tiempo han dormido juntas las cucarachas? Luego fui a la recepción, pero nadie se preocupó por mí durante dos o tres horas. Si no hubiera llamado a Ctrip para quejarme, me temo que este asunto se habría resuelto. Cuanto más lo pensaba, mejor. Me enojé más. Aunque al final me cancelaron la tarifa de alojamiento, ¡todavía no importaba! ¡Me pone enfermo solo de pensarlo!

We had a great weekend stay at Joyous, it's extremely well located, just across the street of the Jing'an Metro station and the bus terminal and right around the corner of Julu Rd. The hotel is well equipped and despite its central position is quite calm. The service was super friendly and we could leave our bags after checkout and even got some additional water

Except for the location, l do not recommend this hotel. It is located on second floor in a commercial building. Upon arrival, one has to walk up a few stairs to the elevator, which takes you to the second floor and a filthy reception area.  During check-in, l was told that l had been upgraded to a better room, free of charge. While in bed, turning off the lights, l discovered that behind the curtain, the room had no window. Being too tired to get up, next morning l requested a room with a window for my remaining two days, which l did get for a RMB100 upgrade per night. The room and the whole place smelled of mildew and were not clean. Towels and sheets were washed, but were worn and had stains that obviously could not be removed. I expected delivery if some items that l was told never arrived. Maybe it did, or maybe not. My recommendation: Stay away!

Good location. Good bed. We asked for late checkout, they are okay with it.

Some towels are worn out.

The room was perfect and people very friendly. We could store our luggage at the reception und could get our room earlier.
