Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Equatorial Shanghai is often praised for its spacious and well-equipped rooms, with particularly comfortable mattresses. The breakfast buffet stands out for its wide variety of options, and the fitness center is appreciated for its ample space and equipment. Situated in a central location near the Jing'an Temple and metro, some guests have noted that the air conditioning can emit a smoking smell in some rooms, but it is a short walk from a Lawson's convenience store.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

convenient locationlimited hours
The location was quite convenient to the subway system.
I found the room service hours rather limiting. It stopped at 9pm. This was inconvenient, especially when I expected to be able to order later after returning from evening engagements.
