GGuest UserI just want to express how amazing my experience at SSAW Boutique was! From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The man at the front desk also helped me order food even though it was late at night and found me a restaurant that was open, I really appreciated that. Highly suggest staying here, the views from the rooms are also amazing.

FFJINMy stay here was fantastic, and the service throughout made me feel incredibly welcome. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff greeted me with warm smiles and a friendly demeanor. Check-in was efficient, and they patiently answered all my questions, showing great enthusiasm. Overall, the guest experience was very comfortable, and I particularly want to commend the service from various departments.
The front desk receptionists were consistently warm and approachable, handling check-ins and check-outs with impressive efficiency. They patiently explained anything I didn't understand, never making me feel rushed or dismissed. The guest relations staff were exceptionally helpful and easygoing, especially Constance, who actively assisted in resolving any issues I encountered, always prioritizing the guest's needs. The concierge service was incredibly prompt; they immediately offered to help with my heavy luggage upon arrival and quickly handled requests for travel information or last-minute errands. They were always available and never delayed. Housekeeping was meticulous; my room was spotless and the bed perfectly made every day. When I called for water or toiletries, they were delivered to my room very quickly, demonstrating thorough and careful work.
From arrival to departure, I felt genuine service without any sense of detachment. It truly felt like a home away from home. Both the value for money and the service are top-notch. I sincerely recommend staying here.

NNingmengfengmiyouzinaiTraveling to Shanghai with my family for the May Day holiday, we chose to stay at the Yangtze Hotel, and instantly, we were transported back to the glamorous old Shanghai of yesteryear 🌃. This historic building, dating back to 1933, is incredibly charming. The colorful dome in the lobby and the vintage carved details everywhere exude an air of elegance. It boasts a prime location in the city center, with convenient subway access to all parts of the city and numerous shopping districts nearby. In the mornings, we enjoyed watching the city come alive, and in the evenings, we'd lean on the balcony, admiring the night view. It was so peaceful and relaxing, washing away all the fatigue from our travels – truly the most healing sanctuary for our May Day trip to Shanghai. The breakfast was varied and delicious, and there were more foreign guests than Chinese, making it feel like we were abroad.

QQianlifujiHad a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to transportation. While the room facilities aren't the newest, the bedding was comfortable, making for a very relaxing stay. The front desk staff were quite friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. Overall, the hotel's environment and cleanliness are far superior to express hotels in the same price range. Highly recommend.

GGuest UserThe hotel is very convenient, directly above DaShiJie metro. The surrounding is rather quiet with a couple of good restaurants nearby. The service is good; the room is huge but facilities are old. A pity there’s no free laundry service. Would be great for the hotel to do a renovation of the interior of rooms - modernised and bright.

PPianpianxihuanniyaThis was my first time staying at the Star River Hotel. The event organizer held a conference here, and the overall style reminded me of Macau, with a strong Victorian feel and a luxurious ambiance. You can tell the hotel has been around for some years, but the facilities are very well-maintained. The entrance/exit to the underground parking is too narrow, which isn't very friendly for large luxury cars (D-segment vehicles). The breakfast was quite rich and good, too.
9.3/10

GGuest UserOur stay here was fantastic overall! The service was very professional, and the location is simply unbeatable. It's just a few minutes from Metro Line 2, making it super convenient to get to Nanjing West Road or to see the 'three-piece suit' (Shanghai Tower, Jin Mao Tower, and Shanghai World Financial Center). The IFC Mall is also just a short walk away, offering a complete experience for shopping and dining. Definitely recommend it!

DDiwuzhaoyunThis hotel is quite good for both business trips and leisure vacations. It's conveniently located with excellent transportation links, and the service is pretty good too. Roman at check-in even gave me a free room upgrade, which was a nice touch and made for a great experience.

GGuest UserI’m so glad I chose the Mehood Elegant Hotel. It was the perfect location — close to everything, not too crowded, yet not too remote either. I traveled solo with my 14-month-old toddler, and he was absolutely spoiled by all the hotel staff. Everyone treated us with so much kindness and care.
Jerry checked us in and out and even gave me a cute fridge magnet. The breakfast was delicious with so many options to choose from, the rooms were cleaned daily, and bottled water was always replenished.
Xiao Jun also took great care of us, and Yinhe Juan felt like an auntie to us. We looked forward to seeing them every morning at breakfast. They all made my stay feel so warm and welcoming — truly like a home away from home.
I’m incredibly grateful for their hospitality, and if I ever find myself back in Shanghai again, I’ll definitely be booking Mehood.
PS: the view from my room was incredible!
