"Great location, close to the metro. Upon check-in, I received a room upgrade. Everything in the room was satisfactory. As I later found out, the internet was good (Google and Telegram worked; at another hotel, these didn't), though the speed wasn't great. I booked a room with lounge access. It was quite modest, but good enough for a snack. Hot options included rice, chicken with vegetables, and noodles in sauce. There was also cheese, cold cuts, vegetables, fruits, and sweets. The bar was quite extensive, offering Martini, spirits, wine, champagne, and soft drinks. They didn't ask for a deposit upon check-in. It's a good option for accommodation, and it's convenient to walk to the embankment."

"The night duty manager at the hotel was excellent, efficiently and politely resolving the issue of our room not being cleaned. As an apology for the oversight, they offered two complimentary breakfasts, which they said were not usually included. However, upon arriving at the restaurant, we were met with disdain from the restaurant manager, who stared at me impolitely as if I was going to steal from the buffet. Another female manager behaved similarly. I wanted to ask, do I owe you money? Why is the male manager so enthusiastic towards foreign guests? Do I, a fellow Chinese national, not deserve your service? And to the other female manager, you are very observant; you immediately brought two cups of coffee after your supervisor arrived late. Don't guests who are not your supervisors deserve your service? As a Chinese person, I find such behavior utterly shameful."

"I recently stayed at Yitel Premium and absolutely loved it! The location is amazing—right in the heart of the pedestrian street, so it's super convenient to walk anywhere. It's also really close to a famous Xiaolongbao restaurant, and DiDi drivers can pick you up right in front of the hotel. The hotel itself is very clean, and housekeeping did a great job cleaning my room every single day. The best part was that my stay coincided with my birthday, and the staff was so sweet to upgrade my room for free! The service here is top-notch. I also loved the complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby, and the free washing machine was a huge plus. The only minor things were a slight cigarette smell that probably came through the AC vents, which was understandable. However, the only real downside was that my room faced the main road, so the traffic noise was quite loud. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it!"

"#Room#: Very comfortable, perfect for families of three or four with kids. I was traveling with two children and one adult, and my feedback is that we all slept incredibly well and had a great rest. It was quiet and the soundproofing was excellent. #Cleanliness#: Spotless. The housekeeper cleaned daily, changing sheets, duvet covers, and so on. They even installed bed rails for the kids, which was very thoughtful. #Breakfast#: A great mix of Chinese and Western options. There were Western choices like pastries, bread, and coffee, alongside Chinese favorites such as steamed buns, 'wowotou' (corn bread), corn, plain congee, millet congee, noodles, vegetables, and eggs. The fruit selection was extensive, and there was juice, milk, and soy milk – a wide and complete variety. #Dinner#: Noodles, wontons, etc. The kids loved it all. We actually gained a few pounds staying here because the food was so good! We ate well, slept well, and felt relaxed and at ease 😄. #Service#: The front desk staff were incredibly warm, attentive, thoughtful, and very professional. I would definitely choose to stay at Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden Bund again. I highly recommend Mercure Shanghai Yu Garden Bund to anyone planning to visit with children~"
