The park is incredible! I recommend it for both children and adults. The rides aren't extreme, but that doesn't stop you from enjoying the experience to the fullest. The park is incredibly beautiful. The locations are incredible. I've uploaded a photo of my favorite location so far, but we're still exploring the park. The evening show and the left side of the park are still ahead.

It's hard to get to Disneyland without FastPasses. I bought a ticket with 8 ExpressPasses and was delighted! No hassle getting in. They check your passport at the entrance and give you a paper ticket, which you use to access all the rides.

This is our second time choosing this hotel. We met Trista, who was so sweet! She helped upgrade my child's breakfast and even prepared cookies for them when we checked in. The service here truly makes you feel at home. I love this place, mainly because it's incredibly convenient. This time, I chose a stay that included breakfast, and I don't regret it at all. There were so many options, and everything was delicious. Right next to the hotel lobby, there's a plaza with a supermarket, McDonald's, and Luckin Coffee. Cross the street, and you'll find tons of great food.

The Jiangnan region truly shines during the plum rain season. I've stayed here over 10 times, and each visit offers a unique experience. In the mornings, I enjoy a leisurely stroll nearby, soaking in the misty plum rain, then return to the hotel to gaze at the beautiful garden views. Amidst my usual hurried comings and goings, this place feels like a welcome stopover, prompting me to slow down. This time, I deliberately flew in a day early, simply to unwind and enjoy a full 24 hours of relaxation at the hotel. The service is incredibly thoughtful and comfortable. It's clean, tidy, and maintains a perfect sense of privacy. In today's busy world, it provides a much-needed space to breathe slowly. A true haven for de-stressing.

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.

Service: They called ahead to confirm my check-in time, and the service was very thoughtful. Checking in on the executive floor was a unique and fun experience with the body composition analysis ritual. The wellness soups and teas offered were abundant and varied. The turndown service included an aromatherapy diffuser; it was a citrus scent, but I wasn't a big fan, it smelled a bit like citrus gummy bears.

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

Qianyun met all those requirements and more! The location was immediately very serene and surrounded by forest, but still easy to access lots of waimai food delivery options. They were also very kind and proactive about sharing information about local restaurants and activities, and provide a breakfast and evening fruit every day. They offer free car transport to Disneyland, and I was excited to use this service but I ended up enjoying my time at the hotel so much that I opted to stay and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere instead! The hotel pets are so friendly - within five minutes the little cat Banban was on my lap and purring. The room itself is decorated very nicely with all the amenities you need. The bathtub inside is very comfortable and I loved the outdoor hot spring tub as well. The attention to hygiene is very highly emphasized and I was impressed with how clean and luxurious everything felt. I will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone hoping to have a convenient getaway from the city, or who would like to be near to Disneyland Resort while also experiencing a more peaceful area and for a good economical value and high quality service! Thankyou for the wonderful stay, I felt very welcome at all times.

The room was spacious and beautiful, and the environment was top-notch. Its prime location in Changning District made it super convenient to get anywhere. The cleaning staff did an excellent and meticulous job. I'd like to specially commend all the staff for their professional and patient service attitude. The front desk attendant even helped us extend our check-out until 4 PM. When I forgot something, they proactively messaged me to remind me. I highly recommend this hotel! It truly felt like a home away from home!

Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund

9.7/10Excellent5923 Reviews
The Bund Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
The Fairmont Gold room is very spacious, featuring a separate entry area, a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bathroom with a wet and dry separation, a vintage bathtub, and double sinks. The bedroom includes a large sofa and a desk, and the overall layout follows an inverted 'S' shape. Both the layout and decorative details show thoughtful design, exuding an old-world artistic charm. This time, I stayed in a room facing Nanjing Road. Through the three bay windows, I could see the bustling crowds on the pedestrian street below, the silhouette of the Peace Hotel's South Tower opposite, and the large clock on the Custom House clock tower in the distance. Almost every corner of the hotel tells a story: the grand corridor and octagonal lobby on the ground floor, the peace dove sculpture made of thousands of glazed tiles, the historic 'Chaplin Staircase' by the east entrance, the European old-money-style Victor Café, the Peace Museum tucked away on the mezzanine floor, and the legendary Jazz Bar hidden within the Jasmine Lounge. Taking the gleaming mosaic-tiled old elevator up to the 9th floor's Cathay Room, the rooftop bar offers panoramic views of the Bund. The Dragon & Phoenix Restaurant is adorned with auspicious dragons and phoenixes and eight blessings, while the Peace Hall, with its long space, high vaulted ceiling, and the legendary spring-loaded teak floor, still whispers tales of its past splendor. Staying in a Gold room includes lounge access. We experienced both the afternoon tea and happy hour, and the food quality was good with a rich selection. The happy hour now also offers hot dinner items; while not as extensive as the Cathay Room buffet, the variety is still considerable. The biggest advantage is the tranquility—during my visit, there were rarely more than two or three tables of guests, allowing for a quiet and relaxing meal. The Gold Lounge's ambiance is excellent, continuing the hotel's Art Deco style with a Shanghai twist. The service staff are professional, proactive, and know how to maintain an appropriate distance. The Jazz Bar was another highlight of this trip. The elderly jazz band, famous for holding a Guinness World Record, is quite well-known. After dinner, we went for a drink and listened to some music. While the performance and the female singer's vocals weren't stunning, the atmosphere was truly unique. Upon entering, the dapper maître d', with slicked-back hair, warmly escorted us to our seats; the bar staff were skillful in recommending drinks; and the handsome bartender’s movements were swift and precise. Watching the white-haired musicians on stage deliver piece after piece, I felt a genuine sense of disorientation, as if time had rewound several decades.

Grand Hyatt Shanghai

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.12km from city centre
I stayed at this hotel many years ago when there weren't many good hotels in Shanghai, and it left a deep impression. Later, every time I traveled to Shanghai for business, I stayed at other newer hotels. This time, I chose this hotel with my kids because I wanted them to see Shanghai's skyline. Overall, I was quite satisfied, especially since I booked late and couldn't get a family room, so I ended up booking two different room types for the two nights. However, the front desk helped us change both nights to family rooms, which I'm very grateful for. I feel like this hotel offers great value for money if you're traveling with a larger group. Perhaps because of this, breakfast was incredibly crowded – I almost don't remember ever seeing such a crowded hotel breakfast. For both days, we were seated at tables added in the aisle. What's more, after the staff cleaned the tables, they didn't set out cutlery, so we had to ask for it. One staff member was very polite, while another seemed quite displeased.

The Sukhothai Shanghai

9.5/10Outstanding3806 Reviews
Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|0.94km from city centre
1. **Unbeatable Location:** Situated at 380 Weihai Road, it's a mere 3-minute walk to Nanjing West Road Metro Station (Lines 2, 12, 13). There's a private internal passage directly connecting to HKRI Taikoo Hui. Exploring Zhangyuan, Plaza 66, Xintiandi, and the Site of the First National Congress of the CPC are all within walking distance. You'll have no worries about dining or shopping. 2. **Exceptional Design & Comfort:** Designed by Neri&Hu, the hotel features a grey-toned wabi-sabi style with Thai Zen influences. Standard rooms start from a spacious 46 sqm, with large floor-to-ceiling windows for excellent natural light. Amenities include organic Australian aromatherapy brand Grown Alchemist, Dyson hairdryers, Sonos/Marshall speakers, and complimentary soft drinks in the mini-bar for the first round. Thoughtful touches like aromatherapy diffusers and bedtime ginger tea are delightful. The overall vibe is that of a 'hidden oasis in the city center' – not ostentatious, but effortlessly sophisticated. 3. **Impressive Dining & Facilities:** La Scala Italian restaurant has received a Michelin Plate, and URBAN Thai restaurant has a solid reputation. The breakfast offers unique Thai snacks like Tom Yum Wontons, Thai Milk Tea, and Mango Sticky Rice. The underground 25-meter heated infinity pool with a starry ceiling is rarely crowded and perfect for photos. The Thai SPA, with its essential oils, receives many positive reviews. 4. **Service Varies (Generally Good):** Most guests find the staff polite and discreet. If you note an anniversary or birthday in advance, you'll likely receive decorations or a room upgrade. Guests often receive a small elephant souvenir upon check-out, and children's amenities are proactively provided for families. ⚠️ **Points to Consider (Avoid Pitfalls):** 1. **Soundproofing Can Be Hit or Miss:** Some rooms in the corridors or facing Weihai Road might pick up sounds of opening doors or traffic. For light sleepers, it's advisable to request a quiet, higher-floor room away from corridor ends when booking. 2. **Breakfast Not Overly Lavish:** It's a refined offering with fewer hot Chinese dishes and no traditional local breakfast items (like shengjianbao or youtiao). If you're looking for a wide variety, you might prefer to dine at Taikoo Hui. 3. **Understated Entrance:** The entrance is tucked away on a small road, making it easy to miss on your first visit. The lobby also isn't as grand as traditional five-star hotels. Those who prioritize pomp and circumstance might find it 'not luxurious enough.' 4. **Occasional Staff Shortages During Peak Season:** This can lead to slower service at the front desk or a perfunctory turndown service. However, these are rare occurrences.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Shanghai, and the views from the high-floor rooms are quite good. The facilities are a bit old, but that's understandable given how long it's been open, so that's fine. However, the service level is truly subpar, worse than even a four-star hotel. They didn't even notify guests in advance about the traffic restrictions due to a conference in the hotel area. I arrived in Shanghai in the afternoon and couldn't check in until 9:30 PM. The hotel had no contingency plans or measures in place. Many guests were quite upset at the time. Breakfast also required queuing, and the taste was mediocre with no particular highlights. When checking out, the staff didn't even bother to look up. Maybe they should all go for some training at a hotel like Atour (All Seasons) first.

Once again, staying at the Jing An Shangri-La, Shanghai felt just like coming home, and it was a truly rewarding experience. We booked a king room and a twin room for our family of three. When we requested rooms on the same floor, Lvy and Chloe from Guest Relations went above and beyond, even upgrading our rooms – we were incredibly touched! Even though it was plum rain season in Shanghai, with misty rain every day, standing by the large floor-to-ceiling window in the room offered unique views, near and far, allowing us to appreciate a different kind of scenery. Breakfast was as sumptuous as ever, the rooms were still incredibly comfortable, the environment offered a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, and the surrounding area remained perfect for shopping and dining. Though it's an established five-star hotel, it exudes a fresh vibrancy within its rich heritage. Every visit here brings new discoveries and new experiences!

I stayed on the executive floor, 27th floor, and the room faced the river directly, offering a wonderfully open and pleasant view. The location speaks for itself; it's a two-minute walk to the Ocean Aquarium, and another two minutes to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. The bed was incredibly spacious, more than enough for two adults and one child. There's absolutely nothing to fault regarding cleanliness and service. The breakfast spread was comprehensive, but I wish there was a bit more variety daily, as it felt a bit repetitive walking around each morning. Both the front desk and housekeeping staff were warm, courteous, and left a great impression. I would definitely come back if I need a place to stay again.

When I was choosing a hotel, I fell in love with the room at the Shanghai Club at first sight, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The room was even more beautiful than I imagined, with meticulously designed details everywhere. It felt exquisite and elegant, perfectly matching the hotel's overall style. The hotel's service was also top-notch – professional and just the right amount of warmth, which made me feel very comfortable. If I had to point out one thing, the room might have been a tiny bit damp, but in Shanghai, and in an old building, that's understandable and didn't affect my stay. The breakfast options weren't extensive, but there was enough to eat, and the taste was decent, neither outstanding nor poor. The main draw here was definitely the ambiance. Although I didn't sit at the bar in LongBar, the sofa seating was still an excellent experience. I really enjoyed the 'retro' style of service here. Perhaps because of the typhoon, there didn't seem to be many guests, which gave me the luxurious feeling of having the space almost entirely to myself.

InterContinental Hotels Shanghai Wonderland by IHG

9.5/10Outstanding10424 Reviews
Sheshan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|35.83km from city centre
During the Dragon Boat Festival, I brought my family for a trip nearby. The Shimao Wonderland InterContinental, though I'd heard mixed reviews online, I decided to experience it for myself. After confirming our check-in time and our preference for a quiet room, Hanna from the front desk proactively added me on WeChat. She reminded me that because it was a holiday and there was an amusement park nearby, parking might be tight, advising me to inform her 30 minutes in advance so she could make arrangements. We checked in on Dragon Boat Festival noon, and I was surprised to see the lobby's seating area packed with people and a long queue at the front desk. However, thanks to Hanna's foresight, our room was already reserved, making the check-in process quick and efficient. Our room was arranged away from the elevator, and the soundproofing was remarkably good. We couldn't hear any plumbing from the adjacent rooms or the floors above/below, whether it was the shower or the toilet. This undisturbed experience is a rare find, whether in hotels built years ago or newly constructed ones, a truly effective soundproofing is hard to come by. There was a minor issue with the sink drainage during our stay, which was promptly resolved, showing their attentive service. However, I have to complain about the sink's design; it was a square basin, which easily splashed water, and water tended to accumulate near the faucet – not very practical. Our stay included a complimentary travel photoshoot with three free photos. The photographer was excellent at creating a lively atmosphere, and our family portrait turned out vibrant and natural, boosting our mood significantly! Online reviews for the Western restaurant were mediocre, but the Chinese restaurant, Cai Feng Lou, received many positive comments. I spontaneously decided to try it, worried about not getting a table, but Hanna immediately helped us book a table for that evening. The standout dish in the set meal was the diced wagyu beef – a true test of a chef's skill. Each piece was large, yet perfectly tender, flavorful, and didn't get stuck in your teeth. This mastery certainly justifies the numerous trophies and prestigious brand accolades at the entrance! At the restaurant entrance, there was also an introduction to the Shimao Quarry Hotel's background and construction history. Indeed, many aspects of its design were quite visionary, considering it took 12 years to build! The cliffside light show at 8:30 PM featured stunning opening audio effects, and the fountain design added a lot to the visual impact of the mythological story. The Chenshan Botanical Garden, included in our hotel package, was even more amazing. I felt like I could spend two days there, enjoying nature, the charm of the vast lawn, the beauty of the dawn redwood forest, and the tranquility of the camphor forest. Overall, it was a good experience, but the price was just too unfriendly. Even without it being a major holiday, it was so expensive. Given the current economic climate, a more affordable price would be needed to maintain sustained market demand.

Pagoda Hotel Shanghai Wujiaochang

Coming to Shanghai, I specifically chose the Pagoda Hotel (Fudan University, Shanghai Branch) that I've been eyeing for a while. I booked the Deluxe Family Twin Room for four people, and the experience truly exceeded my expectations! First of all, the hotel's location is fantastic! It's right in the Wujiaochang business district and KIC (Knowledge Innovation Community), next to University Road, which has a ton of trendy restaurants and cafes. In the evening, we went to a folk bar nearby, and it was a wonderful experience. It's also super close to Fudan University; we even took a walk on campus in the morning, which was lovely. Back in the room, it was incredibly spacious, absolutely not cramped for a family of four. There were two large beds, plus a tatami mat that could be used for sitting or lying down. We had tea and snacks on it during the day, and there was plenty of space to move around. The smart room control system was so convenient; a simple voice command could open or close the curtains and turn the lights on or off. Through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, we had an unobstructed view of Wujiaochang's city skyline, which was truly expansive. The hotel's service was also excellent. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and the butler even asked about our accommodation preferences in advance. There's also a free self-service late-night snack bar after 9 PM, which was a pleasant surprise! The mini-bar was complimentary, and all the in-room amenities were well-stocked. Plus, food deliveries were brought up by a robot, which was both convenient and private. The hotel also has a gym and a laundry room, which is incredibly thoughtful for families with children, allowing us to wash and dry clothes anytime. Finally, a quick reminder: hotels in Shanghai typically don't proactively provide disposable toothbrushes, but you can always ask the front desk if you need one. However, this is a minor detail, and overall, this Pagoda is definitely worth recommending, especially for family trips – you can't go wrong with it!

My overall experience with the business I conducted at this location was incredibly pleasant, and I absolutely have to commend Audrey, the front desk staff member. Her thorough and thoughtful service throughout left a deep impression on me, and I'm writing this review to express my gratitude. As soon as I walked through the door, the front desk staff immediately stood up and greeted me warmly. Her tone was gentle and friendly, and she maintained a sincere smile, instantly easing any awkwardness I felt as a first-time visitor. I hadn't brought all the necessary documents with me and had many questions about the process, required materials, and fee standards. I was worried it would take a long time and that the staff might become impatient, but she was incredibly patient throughout, without a hint of perfunctoriness or laxity. She clearly explained each step of the process item by item. For technical terms I didn't understand, she rephrased them in easy-to-understand language and explained them repeatedly. Thoughtfully, she took out a pen and paper, wrote down a detailed list of materials I needed to provide, and noted important considerations for each item, saving me from making multiple trips. While I was waiting for the procedures to be processed, she saw me standing and proactively guided me to the seating area, even offering me drinking water. Her attentiveness was evident in every detail. When handling the business, she was skilled and efficient, verifying information carefully and meticulously. She double-checked every detail with me to prevent any errors. Midway through, I added several additional questions related to various different services, and she answered each one in detail, proactively informing me about related benefits and precautions, showing incredible thoughtfulness. Throughout our entire interaction, her demeanor was appropriate, polite, and humble, and her speaking pace was just right. She showed empathy for the customer's difficulties and displayed no impatience or perfunctoriness. Her professionalism and service awareness were impeccable. It's precisely because of such a diligent, responsible, and thoughtful front desk employee that the overall image of the establishment has been greatly enhanced, making my entire process smooth and worry-free. Such excellent service deserves high praise. If any friends or family have similar needs in the future, I will definitely recommend this establishment, and I hope the store will generously reward this dedicated staff member!

I've found a real gem in this modern tower. The hotel occupies floors 15 to 18, and the reception is a 10/10 – the staff are super friendly, they offer coffee, tea, and little pastries, and there's also a very comfortable coworking area. The rooms are like a small studio with a kitchenette: microwave, washing machine, dryer, a full-size fridge, and plenty of closet space. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, and the shower… wow! The water pressure is amazing, absolutely wonderful. The door is floor-to-ceiling, so steam from long showers doesn't escape into the rest of the room. The sink area is a bit small, but it's fine for one or two people. Special mention: the magnifying mirror and the Japanese toilet – a real luxury that I really appreciated. We were so comfortable that we ended up extending our stay by 3 more days. The only downside: the metro is about 1 km away, maybe a bit more. But the value for money is so good that what you save on the hotel easily covers a taxi ride. From now on, this will be my go-to place in Shanghai. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.
