Shanghai Parkview Court Service Apartment

Shanghai

Stayed for a few days with family while visiting Jiao Tong University. Very convenient, close to whatever you need. But it certainly is not modern any longer. And the breakfast: Avoid it. Management was fine for what we needed.

Convenient and roomy, but worn down

We stayed this property for 3 weeks, the location is great, but the management and quality of the apartment is not very nice. First we were assigned a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit on third floor. But soon after we moved in, we can smell sewer from bathroom, we could not feel sleep all night. The next day we asked for move to another 2 br, one bath unit on 13th floor. The unit is very simple, the furniture very cheap, the couch was so dirty that I have to cover it with sheet. The breakfast is ok, almost same menu everyday, after you pass through kitchen area like we did one day and you will never want to step back for breakfast again.

It is not very desirable place to stay

i stay here 3 months. the location is quite good near the shopping center, many restaurant and park nearly and convenience to transport. 
the worth for me are awful breakfast, loud noise from upstairs and construction where near this please and i just lost 2 more toothbrushes from housekeeper throw. it's quite crazy.
my friend from korea must to leave here within 2 weeks and find for another places as well
as the website show fitness room, otherwise didn't have. have only internet cable, no wifi .
a bit bad, if i must to come here again i will find another place instead.

terrible

This hotel is located right in the middle of Xuhui District in Shanghai, and just off the very busy Zhaojia Bang Road.  However, the hotel is tucked away a little bit so that it does not face the main road (which I think helps with the noise).  Di Jing Yuan is more of a "serviced apartment" (a building of suites in which they rent out and provide housekeeping) rather than a hotel proper.  I think most of the people who stayed here ventured out to the city as the hotel itself does not have any sort of appeal or amenities to attract guests.    

What this place has going for it is its central location, spacious accommodations, and reasonable pricing.  Ideal for budget travelers who are not looking for any fancy, but affordable and roomy accommodations in a central location.  The room amenities were nothing special but adequate.  Bathroom with shower, a kitchenette in a separate room, a dining space and queen-sized bedroom.  They advertised internet in the rooms (for free), but it is through an ethernet cable but since my computer only uses wireless we couldn't get it to work.  They also advertise room service (food and massage) but it seemed questionable and also, there are many options for food just outside the hotel.  The building and rooms look old but everything looks fairly clean.  Close to many shops, shopping malls, and restaurants, as well as subway and bus stations.  

My stay here was decent and it was convenient since it was close to where I needed to work.  However, I would probably explore other options next time, especially somewhere with wireless internet.

Pros:
Central Location
Large Suites (Bathroom, dining room, kitchen, bedroom)
Clean
Affordable

Cons:
Old and Ugly
No-frills (service was unremarkable, neither bad nor good)
No-views (if that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere)
Limited Amenities

Conclusion:
Mid-sized, middle of the road, but affordable and spacious accommodations in a central location.  You could do better but you could also do a lot worse.

A Decent Place to Stay

Check my more positive review of the Di Jing Yuan.  
Something wrong with the pictures of the rooms on this site, because the Di Jing Yuan has more modern IKEA furniture.
We got kitchen utensils for the month of our stay, no
problem.  We also weren't bothered by noisy neighbors,
(but perhaps we were the noisy ones).  Outside traffic noise until
10 pm was very noticeable.  Yes, the bed was hard and the kitchen small, but most Chinese serviced apartments are like that.  Sleep on top of the duvet and ask for another blanket for the top.  The cleaning staff respected our order and made the bed the way we wanted.

The location was terrific, not just for the upscale stores, but for the shows and entertainment on the street every day, plus it was not far from the subway.

This hotel does have a pool, but it is an outdoor pool and is
closed by November.

When we returned to visit the hotel staff in 2007 their English was 
much much better.  I think that must be true in all the big cities in China this year.
