Fuyue Hotel
She Shan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|1.69km from Sanxiangqing Commercial Street
It was a great hotel experience. Right from check-in I had such a pleasant experience. The receptionist (Miss Liu 前台小刘) was accommodating and absolutely went out of her way to help me settle in after a 40hr multi-legged trip.
I had to double up on coffee to survive the jet lag and the maid Miss Yang (杨水莲) whom I never actually saw in person took note and left me extra bags of instant coffee with a kind note.
The hotel is clean and well maintained. Everything works and is of decent quality. I am not certain if the hospitality star systems in China or anywhere are one and the same. Although I suspect Fuyue's 5-star rating is more domestic than the true five star experience one could get from the Waldorf Astoria, the hotel feels luxurious enough for the money. And while it doesn't come with the level of service one normally would expect from a 4-star place in the west, the local staff I interacted with were all pretty helpful.
There's a gym and a 25m pool where 6 or 7 people could swim laps comfortably on the second floor. And the Chinese buffet for breakfast was quite amazing as well - there are enough ingredients and plates that one could consider a typical continental breakfast with two caveats: there is no cheese and the yoghurt is watery.
I would definitely go back.
Excellent
