Charms Hotel in Shanghai is a fantastic choice. During my stay, I found it to be incredibly well-located, just a short walk from the bustling East Nanjing Road and popular landmarks like the Oriental Pearl Tower. 

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with essential amenities, including air conditioning, free WiFi, and a minibar. 

The on-site restaurant and bar are great for a bite to eat or a drink after exploring the city. 

The staff were friendly and the hotel is clean and convenient, making it an excellent base for sightseeing. 

If you're looking for a value-for-money option with a prime location, Charms Hotel is definitely worth considering!

If you ever find yourself in Nanjing, please do the Qinhuai River boat ride. I did it and honestly—it felt like floating through a painting. The old buildings with their white walls, black tiles, and glowing red lanterns reflected perfectly on the wa...
