Metropolitan Seclusive Life In Wukang rd Shanghai

Huaihai Road Area Shanghai|0.6km from Shanghai Library
It's our 1st time staying in Seclusive, and we chose to celebrate my 50th birthday here (we're from Singapore). In our 6 days trip in Shanghai, this is the 3rd hotel we've stayed for 3 nights. We booked 2 rooms - a suite and a king-sized bedroom. Talk about the downside first. The suite (on the 2nd floor) is spacious with a terrace, however the king-sized bedroom (on the ground floor) was extremely small, it will not be suitable if you're a 6 footer at all (you'd probably be knocking your knee to alot of things). Since it is an old structured building, the sewerage system is no good (toilets in both our rooms were choked and needed attention). The staircase to the level 2 was really steep with uneven carpet. They should also plan to hire more (& younger) housekeeping staff as cleaning up the rooms takes longer than expected, we waited on the day of check-in as well as when we were out for lunch (2 hours). Now on the good things! Location is great as it is walking distance to alot of shops, cafes, restaurants. We reckon that this is a 'hot' and 'social influencer' locality with lotsa crowd taking photos and vids. What made the stay MOST PLEASANT and MEMORABLE is the staff named Ace, true to his name - he was truly a superstar with top-notch service and attitude, the type you'd think never exist in this world! From settling the laundry (with an external vendor), booking cars, restaurants reservations, birthday-surprise decor to the room, all coordination with external vendors and many more! Last but not least - with a bright smile at all times! If at all we decide to be back, its only because of Ace!

Capella Shanghai Jian Ye Li

Hengshan Road Area Shanghai|0.77km from Shanghai Library
Located in the bustling business district of Xuhui, Capella is much better than the ones in Hainan! It's quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, making it very convenient to go out for a walk or ride a bike. Although the design of the small five-story building is climbed up and down, the functional areas are indeed divided very well. The sanitation and cleaning are good. Both bathrooms and toilets are smart and have heating functions. They are very friendly to friends who come to Shanghai in the winter. The audio-visual room does not disturb teammates who want to sleep. The light shading in the room is excellent and the sound insulation is very good. , it was quite quiet all night (but I don’t know if it was because there were few or no neighboring guests), which was appreciated by teammates who suffer from insomnia. The service is also very good. From the time of check-in, every employee takes the initiative to say hello, greets you with a smile, and responds quickly to requests. As for breakfast, I think it can be improved. Breakfast is a la carte service and can be ordered and delivered to the room. I went to the restaurant to eat, but my expectations may have been too high. I felt that the product that day was not at an excellent level, and the staff did not feel very busy. Why do I always have to ask for more tea? Haha... The last unhappy thing is that because I like their body wash, I bought it for home use, but I forgot to check it in when I boarded the plane, and the security personnel took it away in vain😭😭😭I will bring my children back next time, continue. Keep up the service level!

Lestie Hotel  Hengshan Road, Xujiahui, Shanghai

Lestie Hotel Hengshan Road, Xujiahui, Shanghai

Xuhui District Shanghai|0.83km from Shanghai Library
Wife and I just spent 13 nights in a Yarrow Suite @AUD350 p/n.(via Trip.com). I have previously stayed at this property on a number of occasions when it was under different ownership and was known as GianGong/JinJiang, and when I was always very satisfied with my stays. On this current occasion however, I was a bit disappointed - mainly due to the virtual complete lack of English language capability from any staff (previously there had always been an English speaker on duty at Reception). So most of our comunications had to be via a cellphone translation App. I get it that we are guests in China but do feel that having the facility to make ouselves understood is of worthwhile value. Further more we felt the breakfast buffet offerings were disappointing - whilst being plentiful, most dishes were served cold - which in the middle of a Shanghai winter is not good enough. Also after a few days the supply of cutlery knives apparently ran out (from pilfering??), so that towards the end we certainly expanded our expertise in the use of chopsticks. On the positive side the availability of a laundry room is very handy facility. Perhaps this property has suffered adversely from the pandemic and it was noted that its up-market gift shop no longer exists. Also, the overall locality around Hengshan Road seems to have lost a lot of its vitality as it currently is not the ”party street” that it previously was. We actually sought to extend our stay by a couple of days but were quoted a much increased price for our room although it appeared to be the only one occupied on our floor. So we moved to the Donghu Hotel which offered better value for our Aussie dollar (and where most of the front office staff speak English). In summary I feel that the Lestie Hotel is still good but has perhaps evolved principally towards the Chinese domestic market, is a bit over-priced, and so I would not recommend it to foreigners.

梧桐樹下的小院子(復興西路分店)

Hengshan Road Area
The location is very good, the house is not bad, but there are still some aspects that need to be improved. The carpet in the house is too dirty, the yard outside is also very dirty, and there are many wild cat shit. The bathroom sewer is slow and inconvenient. After all, it is an old house renovation.

歸宿公寓(湖南路分店)
4.7/56 Reviews
Hengshan Road Area
My daughter is about to take the entrance examination, and she went to Wukang Road to relax during the weekend. My daughter likes Bajin's text, so she took me to visit Bajin's former residence, which caused the interest of the children. My daughter, who always liked history and literature, searched all the way and took me to see Huang Mansion, Chen Guofu Chen Lifu Mansion, Soong Qingling's former residence, etc. It was a bit tired to walk down the road, so I simply found a homestay nearby for one night and experienced the white life of Shanghai ”city people”. I didn't expect it, but it became the biggest surprise of this trip! The first thing that was attracted was the name of this homestay ”Dusk”, which coincided with the time we were looking for a house. The so-called ”Dusk Yizhu does not return”, so live here. The customer service girl is very intimate, the navigation is very accurate, and it is an unexpected joy: the homestay community is called ”Bole Courtyard”! My daughter is very happy: ”It seems that this year's high school exam must be smooth, because I found Bole!” The stay experience is very good: there are such quiet rooms in the city center, close to the bustling Huaihai Middle Road and the quiet Huashan Road, very close to the subway station, Shanghai Library, etc., surrounded by supermarkets, bars, tea houses, cafes, Chinese and Western restaurants. Turn around, the shadow of the dusk tree mottled, the house is comfortable and warm, make a cup of coffee, open a light music, with the warm lighting in the room, read a leisure book, it is really stealing half a day of leisure. Meimeidi enjoyed one night, but unfortunately the next day my daughter still had class, we could leave the room early in the morning. My daughter's wish list after the high school entrance examination is one more: the first thing after the high school entrance examination, and then about dusk!
哈默的窗特色民宿(復興西路分店)

Huaihai Road Area
The room is the same as the photo. The white department is very refreshing. It is very pleasant to sit on the small balcony and drink a little wine. There are tableware and cups in the room. You can also order a takeaway and set a plate to take pictures. It is very popular. The location is very good, go out and turn left is Urumqi Middle Road, very close to Xiaoxie food stalls, linen house ice cream, and then walk to Julu Road Fumin Road. The landlord sister is very nice, answer all questions, and reply in seconds. Let’s talk about the shortcomings. The common problem of the old house is that the sound insulation effect is average. The sound of the upstairs and downstairs can be heard, but the sound of the aisle is completely inaudible. There is also a bed of one meter five. The mattress experience is average. If you can change the bed, I believe the experience will be better.

For an affordable and enjoyable stay in Shanghai, the Nanying Hotel is a reliable choice, catering to both leisure and business travelers with its convenient location and pleasant amenities.
