Not that this room is haunted or anything...it's right above the hotel's kitchen. I was hearing workers cleaning their pots and pans from dinner at 12 midnight, lots of banging and chopping....they started preparing breakfast at 3am and cooking at 4am. I tried to call up the front desk but no answer. Abit tiring in the next morning when I had to fly to another city. When I complained to the front desk, the answer I got was that, "so sorry, we will check the air-cnditioning in your room" !

at around $150 per night, in one of best areas in Shanghai, walk to everywhere this hotel is to be highly recommended. In typical Chinese style breakfast is a big disappointment but rooms are clean and staff are very freindly, managed by Angela who is always helpful and speaks great English. rooms are very different so if your not happy ask to see another.
Also its very quiet, unusual in Shanghai. free internet 24 hours also!

We booked a suite room in Lapis Casa in June. I was a little bit disappointed when I arrived and found that it was under some minor construction. The rate was 260USD per night for a suite room so I was expecting a better room and service. However, the room was plain and dark. The television in the room was not functioning normally (there were lines on the screen). I requested train ticket service but the tickets they got for me are not the departure time and arrival time I requested, and therefore I could not have breakfast in the morning in order to catch the train. If the price is lower I might think that it is a cute little hotel. (I have got way better experiences in other hotels at this price range or even below this price range.) But with its high price and relatively poor service, I am disappointed with this hotel.
