On the way to Hotel from Airport by taxi. I was overcharged more than double ridiculously and even lost wallet. I didn’t catch the taxi and disgusting driver’s number. A staff at front desk tried to find taxi by all means. I could find wallet due to her. Although all the money in the wallet had disappeared I could take back my wallet lucky. I really appreciate her sincere assistance. I am sorry for not recognizing her name. This hotel is perfect and superb with helpful staffs!

The decor, rooms, gym, location, service was amazing! The best hotel I've stayed at in China! The service was next level. The cocktails at the lobby bar were incredible too. The breakfast was so good, love how you can order off the menu and order several dishes as well as choose from the buffet.

The fitness centre is impressively well-equipped, and the room is spacious and comfortable. We appreciated the high-quality cups and glasses, as well as the complimentary minibar. The staff went above and beyond by preparing a delightful surprise—an adorable cheesecake and mini cupcakes to celebrate our wedding anniversary. They also kindly extended our stay due to the typhoon, which was truly unexpected and deeply appreciated. Overall, we’re very satisfied with our experience and the thoughtful service provided.

Super location for anyone who wants to be in the French Concession. It's a 3 minute walk from Anfu Lu. The staff in the hotel and the very good Italian restaurant downstairs were all so lovely, friendly, helpful, warmhearted that my days of coming and going to and from Shanghai and staying with them at intervals were a joy! And from a very practical point of view, the washing machine in my bathroom was a very nice surprise! And the staff really went to trouble to make sure that guests had something they loved for breakfast. Big thanks to Xiao Zu (spelling?!), Aiyi, Guido, Monica, David and everyone who made my stay there so lovely!

The breakfast spread was really good, the baked goods were one of the best part of the breakfast. The staff is polite and courteous and look after the guest well. The best part is the location, restaurants and pub right below the hotel, very close to metro station and great street food area of Yu Yuan Garden yet in a quite lane. They also have a free laundry service which was great for us as it was quite hot and we had tones of stuff from our Beijing trip. You can get coffee and bottled water from the lobby any time you need. They also had one plus one offer on beers during happy hours with a great view in their restaurant.

    I stayed in a room with a king size bed, very spacious, stylish and comfortable. The staff are very professional and helpful, the restaurant was fine. I was only there 2 days but enjoyed it's ambience. There are some food places and coffee shops nearby and a supermarket. If shopping is your thing you should visit Nanjing Rd which has malls, designer shops, food places, I guess it's Shanghai's Oxford street [London].
