“Great value for the price – the room was basic but complete. The French Concession location was superb, with many nearby restaurants and bars. Staff were friendly and helpful.”

“Booking was straightforward and the hotel was close to everything I wanted to see in Shanghai.”

“Perfect spot in Puxi. Note: the Donghu Hotel is a minute up the road, so taxis often drop you there. The Guest House has no breakfast, but you can use the main hotel or the coffee shop next door (Wagas) with free Wi-Fi. Easy walk to South Shaanxi or Changshu metro.”

8.6Verified guest

“Room was cool and quiet. The hotel had lovely Spanish gardens with listed buildings to relax in. Across the street was a great spa, and next door El Willy's – one of Shanghai's best restaurants with a courtyard. With a juice bar underneath and the Monkey Lounge for late nights, you don't need to move. On a 34-degree day surrounded by millions of people, sometimes you just don't want to.”

8.6Verified guest

“Set off a main street in a nice neighbourhood, ideal for exploring the area. Rooms with oriental furniture were clean and well-equipped, beds were comfy and baby cribs were available. The breakfast spread with about 100 items was a great start to the day.”
