This hotel is beautiful and thoughtful in every way. Every detail feels like a gift, from the smell to the materials used in the decoration. The food is delicious and plentiful and the staff always want to help. The location is great, two blocks away from the pedestrian bund street. They offer plenty of complimentary services- laundy, yoga room, late night dinner, mini bar… We absolutely loved staying here, it felt like an oasis in the city.

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
