Stayed for five nights here and I was pretty content with the amenities, esp the fact that it was a Japanese style toilet (but the bidet could be a lil stronger imo). Besides the regular toiletries, body lotion was provided too. The bath robe was really comfy but if you try to sleep in it, it might get a lil warm while you're asleep.
As my phone number couldn't be used to register for *******, I asked the hotel and managed to use theirs to order. One of my wishes was to order ******* during my stay, so it made me really happy 😊 Had fun receiving my orders from the robot too. Btw, the hotel also helps receive your taobao parcels, should you need it.
I booked the room w/o breakfast, but the staff v kindly offered to provide us two days knowing we were there for quite a bit. 💯⭐⭐ If I had any gripe, it was just that the staff could take a bit long to reply to your WeChat messages; had to text to ask for my ******* orders a few times bc it had alr arrived but the robot didn't deliver.
Another best thing about it was the free laundry on level 5 next to the gym. Literally just washed our laundry almost every day (they'll provide everything, so that's good)
For a first timer in China, I'll highly recommend Jianguo Palace to everyone. Very likely would choose it again if I'm in Shanghai ^^
