This hotel wasn’t on my original list for Shanghai, as I’m a member of several international hotel programs. However, I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did!
I’m a female solo traveller and stayed for 7 nights. Check-in was smooth and easy. I booked a room only rate, but the hotel offered a breakfast discount if I wanted to add it later. I didn’t take it since I’m not a morning person.
My room was spacious and very comfortable. The first round of minibar items was free, the shower was large, and the toilet was fully automatic, it opened, flushed, and closed by itself! As a light sleeper, I really appreciated how quiet the room was. Housekeeping was excellent; staff always greeted me warmly and offered fresh towels whenever they saw me.
The complimentary laundry room was a huge plus, with free detergent provided. Tip for travellers: it can get busy on weekends, so try doing laundry during the day or on weekdays.
Location is excellent, within walking distance to Yuyuan Garden Metro, the Bund, restaurants, and shopping malls.
Not all staff speak English, but that’s no reason for negative reviews! Download a translation app; locals often use them too, and communication is easy.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Shanghai, safe, convenient, and full of thoughtful touches.
