Shijia Inn By The Bund

It was dirty with old furniture, otherwise the room is so big and location is very good near to the bund

Jimmy, the Manager was very helpful in relocating us to the room we actually booked and paid for after spending one night in the most disgusting hotel room we have ever stayed in.

Check in staff were rude and unhelpful and put us in a standard room (not deluxe as ordered and paid for) that was disgusting. Filthy floors and walls, curtains falling off the rails, dirty bathroom and thread-bare towels. The shower wasn't cleaned for a couple of days as soap wrappers and a razor weren't removed. The worst aspect was one of the beds. The smell in the room was dreadful when we walked in and the following morning we realised why. One of the beds was very heavily stained with a bloody discharge of some sort (possibly vomit as it was at the head of the bed) that had leaked through to the bed base. We did not appreciate having details of the local prostitutes shoved under our door every night, which the reception staff maintain they have no control over, despite a security guard being present each night.

It's near to the bund. Left our luggage at the hotel and travel to Suzhou.

The hotel need some renovations cos it's old. Room rate is way too high. Staff will not assist for contacting taxis.
