__WeChat229852****Staying at the Bellagio Shanghai on the Bund, right in the heart of the city, far exceeded my expectations. It's definitely one of the most satisfying hotel experiences I've had recently.
**Environment and Room:** The hotel is located by the Suzhou Creek, right next to the Waibaidu Bridge, making it incredibly convenient to get to both the Bund and Nanjing Road. The room itself was incredibly spacious, with a modern and luxurious design, impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean. Most importantly, the soundproofing was excellent, allowing for a perfectly quiet night's sleep even in the bustling city center.
**Dining Experience:** Breakfast was semi-buffet style, offering both a rich variety of choices and exquisite presentation. The buffet items were fresh, and the à la carte dishes were truly a highlight. Whether it was the Chinese dim sum or the Western omelets, everything was prepared with great care, and the taste was impressive.
**Service Quality:** From check-in to check-out, the service was consistently excellent. Ellie and Moon were professional yet friendly, always responsive to our needs, making us feel comfortable and at ease.
Overall, this is a hotel that perfectly combines location, facilities, dining, and service. It's highly recommended for guests who value quality in their travels.

Write a review on the hotel. Say it was very near shopping mall and also faces a field. Very near to the metro station and easy pick up and drop off by taxi right in front of the hotel. Service at the hotel was good. Can speak English. The lifts were rather small. Can only fit in about 4 medium size people with luggages. But overall a pleasant satay. Beds were comfortable.

Hotel Review:
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent — it’s very close to a shopping mall and faces a lovely open field, providing a nice view and a peaceful atmosphere. The metro station is just a short walk away, making it very convenient for getting around the city. It was also easy to get picked up or dropped off by taxi right in front of the hotel.
The service at the hotel was good, and the staff could communicate well in English, which made everything smooth and easy. The room was comfortable, and the beds were cozy — perfect for a good night’s rest.
One minor drawback is that the lifts were quite small, fitting only about four medium-sized people with luggage at a time. However, this didn’t affect the overall experience much.
Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay, and I would consider staying here again for the convenience and friendly service.

开开水ksbooked a room at the Banyan tree for my parents who were visiting to celebrate their wedding anniversary and upon check in we were greeted by the most lovely staff who quickly helped my parents check in and upgraded us for free to a nicer room. It also had prepared Rose petals within the room and some desserts to celebrate their wedding anniversary which was very appreciated. The room was unbelievable and the view alone made the whole experience worth it. My parents absolutely loved their stay and couldn’t stop raving about the service of all the workers as well. we had some items that my family were unsure if we could bring onto flight, and the hotel staff even went out of their way to call the airline to confirm for us. hotel amenities also great, huge gym and pool with multiple spas, and gym having a reformer pilates machine too. we’ve been to many hotels within shanghai now and this is by far the best , with strong service, a modern room and incredible view. all the photos of the view in the review were taken from within the room, better than going out to the bund!

KKate ThomGem of a boutique hotel with polite counter and wait staff located just steps from Nanjing Road East which is the main shopping district - a straight road down to The Bund, the famous waterfront district with beautiful buildings both colonial and modern lit up at night along the river.
Hotel serves a good variety of Chinese breakfast items like noodle soup, dumpling soup, fried rice or noodles, fried potstickers (gyoza in Japanese / guotie in Mandarin), steamed dim sum, char siew pau or cha sao bao (sweet BBQ diced roast pork steamed buns), soya milk, 4 cooked dishes, two types of rice porridge with condiments and adequate western offerings like eggs to order, bacon, sausages, baked beans, pastries and toast, breakfast spreads, salad, cheeses, yoghurt, hash brown and choc mousse and cakes. Good variety of of fruits, juices, teas and good coffee served too.
The free mini bar w Perrier, Oolong tea, 2 cans soft drinks and local beer was appreciated. It was topped up each time the housekeeper came to freshen up the room although the booking said ”one time free mini bar”. The cleanliness in the room was top - not a stray hair nor any debris left behind by a previous guest, no dust on any surface (and the room is big with good sized furniture at 44m2) and the bathroom was sparkling clean. The towels and.sheets were pristine.
Bathroom amenities were basic (toothbrush and comb) but the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were by Karl Lagerfeld. Small packet of detergent was provided too.
Lovely stay with comfortable bed and smooth bedlinens. The only gripe was that the duvet was down filled which was too heavy for the 30 to 34 deg weather and was too warm despite the air conditioning. As for the soft furnishings, the light coloured carpet is quite spotted and stained in some areas but wearing the slippers provided gave some protection to the feet. The slippers were luxe with thick foam soles and woven material and I didnt need a change of slippers for all 6 days of my stay.
I will return!

MMark Errwin CruzI recently stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Fengxian, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The hotel strikes a great balance between comfort, service, and modern design.
Rooms:
The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with thoughtful touches. The bed was especially comfortable, and I appreciated the strong water pressure in the shower. Everything felt fresh and well-maintained, contributing to a relaxing environment after a long day.
Service:
The staff was consistently professional and attentive. Check-in and check-out were both smooth, and any requests I made were handled promptly. While not everyone spoke fluent English, they were eager to assist and always did so with a positive attitude.
Dining:
Breakfast offered a good mix of local and Western dishes. I found the variety and quality to be above average for a business hotel. The restaurant staff was courteous and ensured the dining area remained clean and well-stocked throughout service.
Facilities:
The gym and public areas were clean and modern. I didn’t get a chance to use the meeting rooms, but they looked well-equipped. The hotel also had a calm, business-friendly atmosphere that made it ideal for both work and rest.
Location:
Situated in Fengxian, it’s a bit outside central Shanghai, but perfect if you have business in the area. It’s relatively easy to access via Didi or taxi. The nearby surroundings are quiet and safe, with a few local restaurants and convenience stores in walking distance.
Overall:
A solid choice for both business and leisure travelers seeking comfort and consistency in Fengxian. I would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to others looking for a dependable Marriott experience outside the city center.

GGuest UserDuring my recent stay at Chateau Star River Hotel, I found the facilities to be excellent and the interior decor tastefully designed, creating a luxurious and elegant atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, contributing to an overall pleasant physical environment.
However, the service quality did not match the standard expected from such a well-appointed hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk staff mistakenly assigned me a children’s room, which required me to return to reception and resolve the issue—a rather inconvenient start to my stay.
While the room I was eventually given was comfortable and spacious, cleanliness left much to be desired. The bathtub, in particular, had two dead flies and a hardened stain on its surface, which was quite disappointing.
I did encounter staff members who demonstrated professionalism—for example, the gentleman managing the breakfast check-in was courteous and efficient. Nonetheless, such instances were the exception rather than the rule.
On one occasion, I decided to book a massage at the hotel spa to relieve some back pain. The treatment, which cost approximately $50, was average and initially unproblematic. Unfortunately, at the end of the session, the masseuse offered me an additional service, the nature of which I will refrain from describing here, but I trust it is not difficult to imagine. I declined immediately. Regardless of the hotel's level of control over this matter, given that the spa operates within the premises, I found this situation deeply inappropriate and upsetting.

MM469791****The hotel is conveniently located near the Bund, with subway and bus stations just a short walk away, making it easy to visit attractions like Nanjing Road and Yu Garden. The front desk staff was very efficient during check-in and thoughtfully introduced the hotel's facilities and local tips. The breakfast buffet offers a rich variety of both Western and Chinese options. Although the hotel isn't massive, it's well-equipped with amenities like a gym and laundry room, perfect for business or leisure travelers. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Shanghai for travel or business! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and great value for money.

DDixuanzhimiaoThis is a Holiday Inn affiliated with Gujing Gong Liquor in Bozhou, Anhui Province!
The hotel is conveniently located, and the room facilities are quite good. The mattress is very soft and comfortable, and the hot water comes quickly. Everything is pretty well-equipped. The service is very thoughtful, even providing an electric heater!
There's a Gujing Gong Liquor Museum on the first floor. I recommend culturally inclined people check it out; it's very unique!

GGuest UserThe house is being renovated, so for the weekend, I decided to stay overnight as a local resident of Shanghai. During the two years of the pandemic, I also took my child to many iconic local hotels to experience them. After considering factors such as comfort, location, cost-effectiveness, dining, service, opening hours, and overall quality, I would highly recommend this hotel to friends planning a trip to Shanghai. The staff are very attentive and responsive to any needs. The location is excellent, situated in North Bund, Hongkou District, which is not too noisy and offers easy access to various amenities. For those visiting Shanghai, there is a stand-up comedy show nearby that is definitely worth checking out. The dining options are plentiful, and you can easily reach Siji Minfu within walking distance. The North Bund City Terrace and the Waibaidu Bridge are also within walking distance. Last night, I took a stroll around the area and stood at the North Bund City Terrace. Seeing Shanghai and Pudong's Oriental Pearl Tower from this vantage point was truly breathtaking.
