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.

GGuest UserThis stay truly exceeded my expectations, and I have to give a special shout-out to Penny from Guest Relations. She proactively called me before check-in to carefully ask about my needs, and her demeanor was warm and considerate. After connecting on WeChat, she promptly responded to all my inquiries, from check-in details to various last-minute requests, always arranging everything perfectly. I didn't have to worry about a thing throughout my stay.
The check-in process upon arrival was smooth and efficient. The overall environment was clean and comfortable, and both the soft and hard amenities were excellent. The staff as a whole were highly professional. From the initial communication and assistance during my stay to the seamless overall service, everything was spot-on, making me feel genuinely cared for. It was a completely pleasant and worry-free experience. I'll definitely prioritize this hotel again if I'm back in the area. Highly recommended!

CCHABOOOOThe hotel room offers a fantastic view, almost directly facing the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. I really love its excellent location on the North Bund, which is convenient yet avoids the crowds found in other popular areas.
Before checking in, I was a bit worried after reading some reviews that mentioned the hotel's facilities were a bit old. However, upon arrival, I found everything to be very well-maintained, so there was no need for concern at all.
What truly impressed me the most was the service – it's arguably the best I've ever experienced in a hotel. Manager Lily went above and beyond to help me with various requests, even late at night. Throughout my entire stay, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring I felt comfortable and at ease.
If I ever return to Shanghai, I will definitely choose to stay here again.

KKaikai10The rooms are luxurious, elegant, comfortable, and spacious. Both the rooms and the public areas, as well as the surroundings, are clean and tidy. The hotel's service is very thoughtful; they provide welcome fruits upon check-in, and the housekeeping staff cleans the room twice daily. I primarily chose this hotel for its historical and cultural value. It's a highly recommended hotel.

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 UserExcellent, exceeded expectations! The front desk staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was surprisingly spacious for this area. The bathroom with a bathtub was incredibly comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure, making for a refreshing wash. You can grab bottled water from the dispenser by the elevator on each floor, which is perfect for an introvert like me. The subway station is literally just around the corner to the right – it takes a minute or two to get in, which is amazing; I've never stayed in a hotel so close to a subway before. Getting a ride-share is also very convenient; you can just set the pickup location to the hotel or the Agricultural Bank next door. The cleaning lady was also very polite; whenever she saw us leaving, she'd immediately ask if she could clean, so I didn't even need to tell the front desk. The building itself is very historic and full of character, and I took many photos because I loved the style. From my room, I could even see the 'Three-piece set' (referring to Shanghai's iconic skyscrapers) in the distance. All in all, this hotel offers incredible value for money, and I'll definitely consider staying here again if I have the chance.

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.

GGuest UserThe room design style is minimalist, luxurious, and very spacious with an amazing view. The in-room bathtub bubble bath was incredibly comfortable. The pool view is also stunning, especially at night – perfect for photos. The hot spring bubble bath was super relaxing, like a full body massage. They say hotels are places that attract good energy, and I've been feeling quite down lately. After staying here, I truly believe I'll be re-energized. Just lying on the bed, looking out the window, and clearing my mind makes me feel like life is worth living. Always believe that good things can happen at any moment.

GGuest UserI had some errands to run on Changshou Road, so I booked this hotel to avoid rushing back home. It turned out to be a great choice.
**Location:** The hotel is incredibly well-situated. There are subway stations (I believe lines 7, 13, and 14) just a short walk in either direction. Plenty of restaurants, shops, and convenience stores are all around – it's a prime downtown location, making everything from dining to transportation super convenient.
**Cleanliness:** No complaints here. From what I could see, the windowsills, tables, and chairs were all spotless. There were no strange odors in the room or bathroom either.
**Service:** The staff were very proactive and attentive to all my requests. The hotel also has a concierge on the first floor that handles package deliveries and offers free luggage storage. For food deliveries, a robot brings them right to your room door. The front desk even gave me a free room upgrade and a complimentary breakfast, which was quite good (check out the last four photos) – a nice mix of Western and Chinese options.
Overall, a very satisfying stay. I'd definitely come back if I have the chance.

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!
