 New Harbour Apartments - only Porsche we saw! by anthonyrickard, 4 more photos We hit Shanghai for a week at the invitation of Virgin; just 30,000 miles each and £140. Had a very entertaining time, and were particularly impressed with New Harbour apartments. The apartment we booked was a bit shabby, and the bed like a rock; however, leaving herself for a liedown I checked out the two superior grades. Go for the Executive Suite! Basically three rooms, kitchen and bathroom, tastefully decorated and furnished, aircon of course, kingsize bed which is soft (by Chinese standards, firm but very comfortable by ours)
Ask for a view of the Bund. Some distance away, but the skyscrapers and Pearl Tower make for some memorable vews across the river. The study contains a desk and computer with internet access - broadband - which was very useful for checking events. I recommend the Shanghaiist as an expat website; introduced us to a fine 4th July entertainment... Broadband included in the room rate, which worked out at about US$70 per night. Crazy.. In house restaurant good for breakfast, very average otherwise. Room service likewise. The kitchen comes with a microwave but no crockery cutlery, pots pans or utensils - just glasses. Buy your beer and wine at the supermarket opposite the main entrance - 1/4 minibar prices. Avoid the bar in the hotel lobby. Tiny, poor atmosphere and very high prices. Barmaids ok if you're desperate for company! Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Downtown close to Bund. Get a card from reception to carry for return taxis. Have reception write destination in chinese for you to avoid language problems; about half the cabbies speak some english.
