A wonderful place. A complete immersion into the world of Disney. It's best to plan your trip on a weekday and splurge on priority access, otherwise the wait time for the rides can be several hours. Buying tickets on trip.com turned out to be cheaper than buying them at the park. I definitely recommend visiting.

It was so much fun! Since it was raining, there weren't as many people as I expected, which was great :) I actually recommend strategically going on a rainy day!!! If you go in the summer, the rain comes and goes, so just bring a small umbrella and use it only on the way back.

We went to Universal Studios Beijing first, then to Shanghai Disneyland, and the difference was very noticeable. Disneyland is especially suitable for children or for closure 😀 The rides are mostly for kids. But we still didn't regret going!

Having visited three Disneylands, Shanghai Disneyland was honestly not as impressive or as much fun as I expected compared to the others I’ve been to. While the park has some unique attractions, the overall experience didn’t feel as magical or memorable. It was still nice to visit, but it just didn’t quite live up to my expectations compared to the other Disneylands.

We really enjoyed it. We arrived at 12 noon and stayed until closing time, at 8:30 PM for the festive fireworks show in the central square. During this time, we had lunch at the restaurant, leisurely explored all the locations, using three fast passes for 180 yuan each per person, and rode the Pirates of the Caribbean, Zootopia, and Tron rides, among a couple more. I highly recommend visiting. If it's your birthday, be sure to pick up a badge in the service area at the entrance. All the park staff will congratulate you, and there are no additional privileges. It's a true fairy tale! Don't miss the parade and the evening fireworks show. It's located on the Red Line metro.

The hotel's location is excellent, right on the pedestrian street, so you can go shopping and dining as soon as you step out. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai. The hotel service was also great; they enthusiastically upgraded my room, and I could even see the 'Three-Piece Suit' (Lujiazui skyline) from there, which was really nice.

This hotel is really, really good! The location and service are both top-notch! I hesitated a lot because it was a bit pricier than I expected (it was National Day, so there was a premium), but it was truly the best choice I made! First, the accommodation! It was clean and the view was amazing. I arrived early for check-in and asked if they could give me a room with a good view. They found me the best view room comparable to the one I paid for 😆 Next, the location! Nanjing East Road and People's Square are right in front, which was great for tours (many meeting points are at People's Square) and shopping. Plus, many famous restaurants (hot mala ban on social media, Lu Xuxu butter cakes, crab roe and shrimp dumplings, milk tea, etc.) delivered, and a robot brought the food to my door, allowing me to try a variety of dishes. It saved so much time, it was amazing! The staff's service was also excellent. They helped with my luggage and were incredibly kind. Thank you! Oliver and Riley are the best! I'll definitely come again.

We had a fantastic stay and were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, always even greeting us at the door, opening doors and checking cars for belongings left behind after long shopping trips. The hotel has a beautiful, luxurious atmosphere, with excellent facilities including a very well-equipped gym and separate men’s and women’s sauna and steam rooms as well as a pool and hot tub. There is also an onsite spa opened till 2am! The ‘This Works’ bathroom toiletries in the rooms were a lovely touch and smelled wonderful. Breakfast was outstanding, with an impressive selection and freshly prepared omelettes, steamed buns and pancakes. The English-speaking staff were also incredibly helpful throughout our stay and provided great recommendations of places to see and where to eat close by. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Nanjing Road and the Bund. Overall, a beautifully presented hotel with genuinely excellent service — we would happily stay here again and am glad we chose to stay here as there are an overwhelming amount of choices available but we feel we made a great choice!

This hotel exudes an old-money charm. I booked a night at the Garden Hotel for a staycation, just to switch things up. It's a classic for a reason – the location is unbeatable; it's a leisurely 15-minute stroll back from the Shanghai Culture Square. Not to mention the stunning large lawn and the gorgeous Art Deco interiors. The service was excellent across the board, the pool was great for a swim, and breakfast offered the usual five-star Chinese and Western options, plus the Garden Hotel's special Japanese breakfast 😎. All in all, a very satisfying stay.

Overall, it was a very comfortable stay—an understated, reliable five-star hotel. The biggest highlight was the location; having the subway and train station right next door made getting around completely hassle-free, yet it was surprisingly peaceful without the typical hustle and bustle of a transit hub. The room was well-maintained, and the bedding had just the right firmness to instantly relieve the fatigue of travel. The service hit the sweet spot: not overly attentive, but any request was handled promptly. I also managed to check out the heated pool, which was quiet and serene; heading back to the room to rest afterward left me completely relaxed. It is a great choice whether you're traveling for sightseeing or just need a place for a short stopover. All in all, a solid five-star experience.

You can't beat the location – right in the heart of Nanjing West Road, bustling outside, yet quiet inside. The hotel is all-suite, with the smallest room being 62 square meters, offering separate living and sleeping areas, so space is definitely generous. Each suite comes with a kitchen (induction hob, microwave, etc.) and a washer-dry dryer, which is incredibly practical for long stays or dealing with the rainy season. The hotel's design has an old Shanghai charm, but it's not overly fussy; the Art Deco details are very appealing. Rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant is pleasant. There are reliable dining options nearby, and it's convenient for business meetings. The gym is outsourced to a chain brand, so the equipment is better than typical hotel gyms; there's also a pool for a relaxing dip. The terrace offers expansive views, perfect for an evening drink. Overall, the facilities are practical and impressive. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai.

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.73km from city centre
I originally booked a small family room with no windows through the platform. When checking in, the front desk staff offered us a breakfast discount and a room upgrade. The breakfast for 3 people for 2 days was essentially half price, and we were upgraded to a much larger family suite with windows! The stay was excellent – it was clean, tidy, spacious, and had great natural light and ventilation. Plus, the room number they gave me happened to match my baby's nickname, which was a fun coincidence. The breakfast over the two days had different dishes each time, and it was tasty with a good variety. It felt like great value for money. From the elevator lobby in the hotel, you can see the Shanghai 'Four-Piece Set' (iconic skyscrapers), and it's very close to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, The Bund, and Yu Garden/Chenghuang Temple. When we checked out, they even gave us a small gift of face cream. This is definitely a hotel I'd choose again.

Located in Hongkou District, it's a bit far from the Bund, but transportation is convenient. 1. You can see the 'three-piece suit' of Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Shanghai Tower, even if it's just a glimpse. It's truly beautiful, especially at night. The open-plan suite has a comfortable layout. 2. The desk flipping open to reveal a vanity mirror is a huge plus. 3. The ceramic jar next to the bed for charging cables is very unique. 4. The welcome snacks have a distinctive Shanghai flavor. They even gave a fridge magnet of a Shanghai landmark at checkout, but I have to complain that it doesn't stick well. I suggest changing the type; this is a minor flaw.

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.27km from city centre
The Westin Bund Center is a five-star hotel with an excellent location. It's within walking distance of Yuyuan Garden Metro Station, Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Bund waterfront promenade, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is adjacent to the Bund Center, whose lotus-shaped roof acts like a crown for the hotel, giving it a grand and recognizable exterior. The lobby atrium is a design highlight, featuring a 26-meter-high glass ceiling and a glass 'sky escalator' connecting the first to fourth floors, seamlessly integrating natural light – it's absolutely beautiful. The Lobby Lounge, located in the atrium, is surrounded by palm trees and flowing water, evoking a Southeast Asian vibe. It subtly encourages visitors to pause, enjoy the scenery, chat, and sip tea – truly a delightful way to live. While the guest rooms aren't huge, their overall layout is well-planned and facilities are comprehensive. The Heavenly Bed is truly captivating; the soft, delicate, clean, and skin-friendly bedding enhances a deeply immersive dream. Three floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic city views – the more you stay, the more you'll love it! The Stage restaurant offers a bountiful buffet breakfast, with both Chinese and Western options. The omelets are shaped like egg dumplings and taste great, the croissants are quite good, the tofu pudding is delicious, and the latte coffee is also pleasant. We didn't get to try the Chinese restaurant as it was hosting a wedding banquet. The hotel also has a full range of fitness equipment and an indoor heated swimming pool. It's a truly joyful experience to relax and unwind here.

The Ritz service is consistently attentive and reliable. Breakfast is a semi-buffet with à la carte options, and the quality is excellent. The FLAIR rooftop bar on the 58th floor has a fantastic ambiance. While the hotel opened a while ago, so the facilities show some age, the bathtub in the room is quite close to an office building, offering limited privacy when bathing. However, direct access downstairs to the IFC mall makes getting around and shopping extremely convenient. This is definitely the top choice if you want to experience the Lujiazui night view.

Hongqiao District Shanghai|11.03km from city centre
Staying at The Anandi Hotel in Shanghai | A Healing Hotel Experience Before heading back to Beijing, I chose this healing hotel for a few days of rest in Shanghai. Here's my experience: Facilities and Activities 🏊🏻♂️: 1. Guests can use the hot spring, which wasn't crowded and wasn't very large. There are two public pools, one in the hot spring area and another on the 11th floor of the hotel. The gym is also small. There are free healing activities every day, with more options on weekends, including children's craft experiences 👍🏻. 2. The kids' club is on the second floor of the hot spring area, but children cannot be left unattended; parents must supervise them. I suggest they change this – if parents are constantly watching their kids, how can they have time to spend money? 😓 Environment 🌲: As a healing hotel, you essentially stay within the hotel. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area 😂. Dining 🍜: The breakfast at the Mystic restaurant is quite healthy. The executive lounge offers afternoon tea and light dinner. Yue Restaurant and Yuan Yan are actually the same restaurant. Dining taste ranking ➡️ Yuan Yan > Mystic restaurant > Executive Lounge. Service: Most of the staff provide excellent service. On weekends, due to more guests, the service quality can slightly dip 😝. In summary, the service at this hotel is very good, but the overall facilities are not large. If you're looking for a two or three-day healing stay, I highly recommend it 😜 (Special shout-out to Darcy for the excellent service!).

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|21.83km from city centre
This was my first time staying at the Million Stone Garden Hotel, and I was thoroughly impressed. The surroundings are elegant and peaceful, surprisingly not crowded even during the National Day holiday. First, about the onsen: it opens at 2:00 PM. Right after checking in, we rushed over around 3:00 PM and were amazed to find no one else there! It felt like a private hot spring just for our family, which was fantastic—the only rule is no phones allowed for photos. There are two pools indoors and two outdoors, kept at 37.5°C. It was pleasantly warm in this weather, and the outdoor pools weren't chilly at all. Perhaps everyone was off at Disney, but having the place to ourselves made it so relaxing. Getting here is also super convenient—no need to drive. We took the metro, and right outside the station is the International Tourism and Resorts Zone Bus Line 1. It’s just a 3-stop ride straight to the hotel gate, and only a short walk from there. After checking in at the lobby, they even shuttle you to your room in a golf cart. Outstanding service! Directly across from the hotel is the Bicester Village Shanghai. It was quite crowded there with queues outside many shops, so we just browsed briefly. Almost all the restaurants had lines too. If you’re just going over for a meal rather than shopping, it’s only about a 200-meter walk straight across the street from the hotel gate—incredibly handy. There's also a lakeside ferry that takes you directly to Disneytown for 15 RMB per person, which is another great perk. Overall, a great experience. If you prefer to just stay within the hotel, the gym is almost empty, and you can take a morning stroll around the grounds where there are a few swings. It’s all very tranquil. Disney Shuttle Service: Advance reservation required. Hot Spring Tickets for Two (Cold & Hot Springs): Included with certain room types.

My favorite part was the private hot spring tub in the room. After returning in the evening, I could soak anytime without needing a reservation, which offered excellent privacy. The hotel also offers therapeutic activities like meditation. Unfortunately, I only stayed one night and didn't have much time to try them, but they seemed quite unique. Parking at the hotel is very convenient, with plenty of spaces available. If you're driving, you basically don't have to worry about parking. The hotel staff provided excellent and patient service. They were always quick to help with any issues and spoke very kindly. Even though it was just a one-night stay, the overall experience was great.

If you are thirsty, you can go downstairs at any time to have some drinks and fruits, which are all included in the hotel package. Why the deduction? Like many reviews wrote, the water in the pool here is really too hot. It is the hottest of all the hot springs in Shanghai that I have been to. It feels too hot. I saw that several children could hardly soak in the water for a while. I don’t know why so many people complained. I saw that the management was still saying in the comments that it met the hot spring temperature requirements. What they said is that your water is too hot, and they are giving you suggestions. Everyone in the hot spring said that the water was hot, not that you violated any regulations... It takes talent to reply like this

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|18.67km from city centre
The location is located in the forest but there's no light surrounding during night . There are 3 pet dogs who live nearby (one of them is friendly). During winters the place is almost empty. Best for solo or couple travels. Sauna in winter is a must try. Overall the room needs a little repairing but it's not that noticable. The rooms are pretty large and provide all amenities. Each room is calm a provides a retreat for a peaceful vacation. The Breakfast lady is nice and hospitable. Breakfast included milk, croissant , a pastry an egg and a bowl of wontons. All snacks and fruits provided in room are complimentary. Overall a nice place for short weekend trip. In morning one can have a morning walk around forest or bike ( during winters the bike become a bit rusty though). The place also provides Kayaking in the nearby lake for 100 RMB / 3 hrs . It's best to enjoy kayaking in summers. Will visit here again. Also the place doesn't provide dinner but there are 2 nearby places providing good food. Make sure to take a torch along the way to restaurants at night as it gets quite dark.

I specifically chose a pet-friendly hotel for this trip and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The location is very convenient for getting around, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is comfortable. The breakfast was also delicious. I especially want to commend Yolanda and Sunny; their service response was incredibly prompt, and they looked after us and our furry child in every aspect. It's an excellent choice for traveling with pets, and I will definitely come back again.

I rarely review hotels, but the service at The Portman Ritz-Carlton is truly exceptional – friendly and just right. The hotel facilities are also incredibly well-maintained; the elevators and the bar on the first floor have an aesthetic that harks back to an economically prosperous era. We booked an executive room, and the ladies at the executive lounge were professional and welcoming. They even knew it was our birthday and gave us a new Ritz lion charm when we checked out – so thoughtful! The lounge's food selection isn't vast, but the ingredients are top-notch, and every dish is meticulously prepared. The hot pastries are particularly excellent – crispy and not greasy. I'll definitely be back.

First of all the staff are excellent and always ready to help , even when its in the middle of the night. The Front desk team comprise of experienced n a couple interns are very dedicated. BUT, being a good location is also a painful location to move around due to heavy traffic. The room amenities is interesting…. A MISSING FRIDGE!! It took them one day to find a replacement. Plus some bad finishes. Very UNCITADINE standards My friend in the larger rooms are much better. So i suggest to book the bigger rooms at minimal additional cost For the price n staff l, its all well worth it

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
The rooms are tastefully antique, the buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, and most importantly, the location is excellent. The rooms are charmingly vintage, with retro Art Deco details visible everywhere, providing an immersive experience of old Shanghai's charm. The buffet is diverse, with a rich selection of seafood, hot dishes, and desserts, all delicious. The best part is the prime location, situated in the heart of the Bund, with the historical 'Architecture Expo Group' right outside the door, Nanjing Road within walking distance, and the opportunity to admire the Pujiang River's night view in the evening. This century-old hotel truly delivers on atmosphere.

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.12km from city centre
Location: The hotel boasts an exceptional location, situated in the Jin Mao Tower, one of the 'Lujiazui Trio,' right next to the Shanghai Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center. The hotel's design seamlessly blends Eastern aesthetics with Western architectural beauty, exuding both old-money charm and luxurious style. All hotel staff are also bilingual in Chinese and English. Experience: Our entire stay was fantastic. Since it was my birthday, Mia from Guest Services specially arranged a room upgrade for us. From the room, we could see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Bund, and even the Magnolia Plaza across the river in North Bund. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the light show from here during the National Day holiday. Mia and her colleagues also prepared a Tiramisu birthday cake and flowers for me, for which I am truly grateful. Pool and Spa facilities: The indoor swimming pool's water quality was exceptionally clear, easily ranking among the top three of all the hotels I've visited. The sauna and cold plunge bath I experienced afterward were also excellent. The only area for improvement is that there was no discount for in-house guests at the hotel's buffet lunch. Even so, we will still choose to stay at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai on our next visit to Shanghai. Mia's professionalism and hospitality deserve commendation from the hotel and serve as an example for other service staff. Many thanks to the Grand Hyatt Shanghai 🙏🏻

The Bund Area Shanghai|2.48km from city centre
I booked this hotel for its views. On the day of arrival, around 2 PM, the guest relations staff added me on WeChat to ask for my arrival time. I confirmed I'd be there between 5-6 PM. However, when I arrived at the hotel a little after 6 PM, the front desk stammered, saying the room wasn't ready. They even said I should have called ahead to confirm my arrival time, to which I replied that I had already communicated it via WeChat that afternoon. It's one thing for the room not to be ready, but when I suggested leaving my luggage with the concierge to be sent up once the room was ready, the concierge said they needed a request from the front desk first. I was truly baffled; the communication was so cumbersome. They pushed the problem onto the customer instead of ensuring internal colleagues had aligned information and processes. Finally, the room was ready after 7 PM, but my luggage still wasn't there. I had to go back to WeChat and ask the guest relations staff to chase it again before the concierge finally delivered it.

This time I booked an executive room and came with my daughter to relax at the hotel. Upon check-in, the front desk staff were warm and thoughtful, explaining in detail how to use the executive lounge, including its hours and menu items. Our room was on the 26th floor, and the executive lounge, located on the 28th floor, offers breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. The service staff were highly professional, and our dining experience was very pleasant. The environment was elegant and comfortable, with beautiful views of the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Huangpu River. I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill in the 30th-floor gym in the morning, facing the Oriental Pearl Tower – truly invigorating! The women's changing room has both dry and wet saunas, as well as two hot and cold plunge pools, all with great views. The swimming pool is also very beautiful. Everything was excellent. The cleaning staff were also very polite. I had stayed here with my family before the pandemic, and this visit felt just as welcoming. I'll definitely come back when I have the chance. Highly recommended!

The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering superb views of both sides of the Huangpu River. All the staff I encountered were well-trained, friendly, and provided efficient and attentive service. The breakfast buffet, featuring both Western and Chinese options, was abundant and authentic in taste. The Long Bar on the ground floor of the old building is highly recommended; it has been meticulously restored to its original appearance from a century ago, exuding a vintage yet exquisite ambiance. On Friday nights, live jazz musicians enhance the already fantastic atmosphere.

Hongqiao District Shanghai|8.21km from city centre
A true hidden gem in this modern high-rise. The hotel is in the same building as the Novotel – specifically, Citadines occupies floors 15 to 18. The check-in experience is an absolute 10/10: the team is incredibly welcoming, offering coffee, tea, and small pastries, plus there's a very pleasant coworking space. The rooms feel like compact studios with a kitchenette: microwave, washing machine, dryer, a full-sized fridge, and lots of storage. The bed and pillows are supremely cozy, and the shower… just wow! The water pressure is outstanding – truly a delight. The door goes from floor to ceiling, so steam from long, hot showers stays inside the bathroom. The sink area is a little tight, but perfectly fine for one or two people. Special shout-out: the magnifying mirror and the Japanese toilet – a real touch of luxury that I thoroughly enjoyed. This time was just a long weekend, and we had a fantastic, relaxing stay. The only small drawback: the metro is about 1 km away, maybe slightly farther. But the value for money is so excellent that what you save on the hotel more than covers a taxi ride. In fact, I had a 6:00 am train from Hongqiao and pre-ordered a Didi – it took just 15 minutes door to door, which was incredibly convenient for me. Considering how reasonable the price at Citadines already is, the Didi cost felt like nothing. That sealed the deal for me. This is my third time staying here, and it remains my go-to place in Shanghai. Highly recommended – I'll be back again soon.
