Ascott Properties in Shanghai

This is a serviced apartment with a fantastic location. It's right across the street from Xintiandi and the subway station, making transportation incredibly convenient. There are tons of shopping malls and restaurants nearby, perfect for those who love to shop. The hotel staff were warm and friendly, always ready to help. Upon check-in, I received a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was very spacious and included a kitchen and living room. It was fully equipped with an oven, microwave, induction hob, sterilizer, and washing machine (though I didn't get to use them all). The 2-meter king-size bed had a mattress that was just right – not too soft, not too firm – and the high-floor street view was also excellent. On the downside, the bathroom facilities were a bit dated, with a non-smart toilet and a seat without soft-close hinges. The sink also drained slowly. Plus, there were some oversights in the cleaning; I actually found a T-shirt left by a previous guest on the back of a chair! I only stayed for one day, so I didn't get to experience the other hotel amenities. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel!

The rooms at Ascott are very spacious, perfect for family trips, and come with full amenities. The bedding is comfortable and soft. The Wutong Xiaoyuan area is very quiet, and transportation is incredibly convenient. You can walk to nearby Jiaotong University and the Xuhui historic scenic area. The only minor drawback is that breakfast is a bit simple, but the restaurant service is attentive. You can try the wontons and noodles at the noodle station, or grab breakfast at one of the eateries nearby.

The hotel room was very spacious, and the overall service was excellent. Housekeeping and cleaning were also prompt. There's a supermarket and an art center nearby, and it's not too far to get to the Bund by taxi. Plus, it's very close to the subway station.
