Rhea Boutique Hotel @ Shanghai Railway Station

HOTEL LOCATION WAS GOOD BUT OUTSIDE VIEW WAS VERY UNCLEAN,RUNDOWN BUILDINGS,TRASH.THE SINGLE 'ENGLISH SPEAKING RECEPTIONIST AT ARRIVAL TIME WAS MULTITASKING CLUMSILY. THE BATH HAS GLASS WINDOW ON THE SHOWER STALL TOWARDS THE THE REST OF THE ROOM AND THE CURTAIN ON OUTSIDE ![ IDO NOT THINK IT IS CULTURAL OR VACATIONER IDEA!THE SINK WAS BLOCKED FIRST DAY AND COMMODE BLOCKED ON SECOND DAY. THE SAME RECEPTIONIST TRIED TO GET MORE MONEY[CONE ARTIST?} FOR OTHER RESERVATION FOR TRAIN [SHANGHAI-BEIJING] WITH URGENCY EMPHASIZED AND WANTING CASH ONLY. I COULD DO TRIP TO XIAN [PLANE, + XIAN TO BEIJING TRAIN] AT MUCH BETTER PRICE MYSELF.ALSO FOR ELEVATOR EACH TIME NEEDED KEY[SECURITY ISSUE]-THANKS

The hotel is just in front of a subway station so you won`t have any problems with finding it. The hotel itself was very good (didn`t try the foog though...). The staff speaks poor English.
