The hotel is minutes away from the train station and the main shopping district of Hangzhou which was probably the only positive thing about the hotel. Upon entering our room, the smell in the room was old, musty and dirty. The floor looked like it hadn't been vacuumed properly, and the bathroom as dusty all around the back.
The toilet seat had all the plastic lining coming away which made it look dirty and unhygenic. We had quite a busy itinerary, which meant we wouldn't be spending much time at the hotel. So we decided to stay put since we had already paid with no chance of a refund. However, it got worse. The blood on the 'clean' towels, no backup loo roll, and a late night visit by a persistent prostitute who knocked on our door twice in the same evening made us think twice about staying.

We booked the hotel for four nights after seeing 'glowing' reviews on Trip Advisor but after the second night , we ran as fast as we could from the worst hotel we have ever stayed in to the nearby Regency Hyatt.
Don't bother with Nerada. It is not worth even one star. Good value for the money considering the close proximity to the high-speed train station. Hard to access by cab as the registered address is not the one you should follow to get there by cab. Breakfast offering was decent with enough selection for almost anyone. Service was excetional and I received a lot of attention and in English which is a very nice attention although I can speak Chinese myself.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone if the location suits you. I stayed in April in this year. The hotel is situated near main seesights of Shanghai and this is the best advantage of this place.
