Our stay at the Marriott was overall very satisfying. 👍 Upon arrival, the front desk proactively upgraded our room and offered complimentary breakfast for our child, which made for a very pleasant experience. My child went swimming on the sixth floor for two consecutive days. The hotel staff were very attentive, providing towels and water, and there was a lifeguard on duty. The swimming area environment was also excellent. The hotel room size was decent, and the cleanliness was good. It came with a bathtub, which my child loved 💕, although the toilet was a bit old. I'd like to praise the hotel's delicious breakfast 😋, which offered both Chinese and Western sections. The restaurant was spacious with a beautiful ambiance and a wide variety of food options, definitely something to look forward to! The overall check-in experience was great; the lobby staff were very responsive to all requests. Food delivery robots could bring orders directly to our room. When we left, they even gave us small toys as souvenirs. We will definitely visit again!FromTWD 4,720

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|0.85km from city centre
My friend was only staying in Shanghai for a day, so naturally, I wanted to give her an itinerary that offered both 'old-world charm and new-age chic.' While passing Nanjing West Road recently, this InterContinental 'Luxury Collection' hotel immediately caught my eye. And just as I expected, critical as she is, she complimented my taste the moment she walked in.
Its most appealing features are its convenient location and its ability to be a tranquil oasis amidst the bustle: step outside, and you're on the vibrant Nanjing Road; turn around, and you're in the quiet serenity of a residential area. My friend said the elevator decor instantly made her feel like she'd 'traveled through time,' and that unique 'Haitian style' evoked long-lost memories of Shanghai. She had originally come to sightsee but happily spent most of her day lingering at the hotel.
What she loved most were the terrace and the restaurant. On a summer evening, the breeze felt just like those childhood nights spent cooling off in the alleyways – she used to live in a Shikumen house. She remarked, 'If only I could lie in a wicker chair, fan myself with a palm-leaf fan, eat watermelon, and watch an outdoor movie, that would be truly divine.' She also adored the red hanging ornament in the lobby; it was vibrantly bright, yet its glass texture gave it a lively feel, much like Shanghai's character – passionate yet steady, with a touch of lightness within its composure.
The food did not disappoint either. I pushed her to try the Shiqipu Noodle Restaurant, where the owner asked in Shanghainese, 'Mi dao ai hao fa?' (Is the taste good?), and she smiled and replied, 'Authentic,' instantly tearing up. She specifically bought the sweet variety of butterfly pastries from the International Hotel – saying 'only sweet is truly Shanghai.' Her only regret was: having stayed in too many foreign-style grand hotels, this time, with Shanghai elements everywhere and Shanghai flavors in every bite, it was 'just missing the sound of Shanghai.' Perhaps the cicada chirps in the alleyways and the hawkers' cries from the Shikumen are the hometown sounds she truly yearns to hear.
However, she has already declared: the next time she returns, this will be her chosen hotel, and she plans to visit all the routes I arranged. I believe the charm of Shanghai has never been in its superficial glamour but in its ability to always find the most fitting way to blend East and West, ancient and modern, living as a unique 'Haipai' (Shanghai style). This is also the root that every Shanghainese person cherishes.
Below are the three half-day itinerary options I created for her, which I've also compiled here, hoping they might help someone else:
Option 1 · A Stroll Through Old Shanghai Charm
Start from the hotel's main entrance on Fengyang Road and turn into Huanghe Road. The Changjiang Building and Changjiang Theater were the last residences of Eileen Chang; Huanghe Road is the origin of 'Blossoms Shanghai' (Fan Hua). The International Hotel is where her mother and aunt once stayed; next to it, the Sports Museum is rumored to be where Eileen Chang used to study. Diagonally opposite is the History Museum (formerly the Racecourse); the East Wing houses the old bronze lions from the HSBC Building on the Bund, and the 'Echoes of Shanghai' exhibition in the West Wing happens to talk about the past of Fengyang Road. The ornate windows of the West Wing and the Changjiang Building, mirroring the hotel's architecture, perfectly showcase the most fashionable Art Deco style of the 1930s.
Option 2 · Tracing Red Memories
Walk along Chengdu North Road to the Secretariat of the China Labor Movement, to see how Shanghai workers united into a revolutionary force; then visit the former site of the Songpu Special Committee. Go to the Sihang Warehouse to hear the echoes of the Battle of Shanghai and see the bullet-riddled walls recount the tragedy of that year. At night, turn into Xiang Kang Li on Xinchang Road to find the former site of the CCP Central Committee's secret printing press; on Nanjing West Road, there is also the former site of the Soviet Liaison Office, where, amidst the flickering lights, memories of the past reside.
Option 3 · Modern and Retro Collision
The LV 'Big Boat' on Nanjing West Road is currently a popular spot for photos; after visiting, turn into Wujiang Road for shopping and dining, and further ahead is Zhangyuan Shikumen – where new trends emerge in old alleyways, perfect for capturing stunning photos.
Food Tips
· The hotel restaurant's afternoon tea set is exquisite and picture-perfect.
· Shiqipu Noodle Restaurant (the owner's Shanghainese is a living signboard).
· Deda Western Restaurant and Gongdelin Noodle Restaurant, each with its own charm.
· Donghai Small Restaurant (authentic Ningbo cuisine).
· Chongming cuisine on the second floor of the hotel, authentic local flavors.
· International Hotel butterfly pastries, remember to choose the sweet ones.
Though the day was short, the essence of Shanghai will give her much to savor. When she returns next time, we'll continue our journey.FromTWD 4,786

Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. The hygiene was good, and the room layout was well-designed. The shower and toilet were separate, which was convenient. There was also a vanity table for women, which was super helpful – no more standing while doing makeup! 👍👍 This hotel is incredibly female-friendly.
The location is excellent; it's about a 5-minute walk to the Huangpu River, giving direct access to bustling areas. You can quickly visit Shanghai's iconic landmarks, and Yu Garden is right next door with plenty of delicious food options and even travel photography services.
The breakfast was incredibly rich and diverse. Eating there before heading out for some sightseeing really brightened up my day! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit! 😝😝FromTWD 3,323

Decent stay, but several misses for a 5-star property
My stay at the Pullman Shanghai Central was a mixed bag—nice in some areas, but disappointing in others.
Check-in: The staff were very friendly and welcoming on our first day. However, I was surprised that they wouldn't let me check in until 3:00 PM. At most other hotels, I'm usually able to get an early check-in (even if I arrive at noon), so this felt a bit rigid for a property of this level.
The Room: The room itself was comfortable—the bed was soft and the shower pressure was actually perfect (not too strong, not too weak, just right). Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke upon arrival. To their credit, when I called the front desk, they immediately offered to change my room, which was very professional of them.
Breakfast: This was the biggest letdown. The breakfast buffet felt more like what you'd expect from a 3-star hotel rather than a 5-star Pullman. The quality and selection just weren't there for me.
Overall: It was an okay stay—nothing terrible, but nothing exceptional either. I wouldn't rate it a 10/10, more like a solid 6. Good service from the staff, but the check-in policy, smoke issue, and food really held it back.FromTWD 2,959

Actions speak louder than words—just look at the photos! Honestly, the pictures online didn't particularly grab me (they were just okay). I booked the hotel simply wanting a relaxing break, and it totally exceeded my expectations! The hotel environment is fantastic. Even with the rain, it didn't detract from the beauty; if anything, it enhanced the therapeutic vibe. A unique touch was using the room key to tap a jade stone by the door to enter. The hotel has so many thoughtful little service details. In the morning, they subtly leave a warm 'good morning' drink outside your door. In the evening, there's a turndown service with snacks and hot tea—very considerate! The room is gorgeous. It's a shame it was raining and a bit hot outside, so I didn't get to relax on the balcony. Otherwise, enjoying a drink out there with the view would have been lovely. The salmon and shrimp at the buffet were both fresh and delicious. The afternoon tea at the executive lounge had the same desserts as the buffet. The desserts really showed some skill, especially the Basque cheesecake, which had a wonderfully moist and smooth texture. Even though it was the Dragon Boat Festival, there were quite a few people attending classes, but most were very well-behaved, and the class atmosphere was quite immersive.FromTWD 5,818

This Japanese-style hot spring hotel is conveniently located right next to Bicester Village, making it super easy to go shopping. It's also quite close to Disneyland, and they even offer a daily shuttle (though I still highly recommend driving for convenience). The hotel facilities are well-maintained and very clean. I'd suggest booking a room with a private onsen; the small courtyard is really relaxing. The front desk staff wasn't overly enthusiastic, just a bit transactional, but they can assist foreign guests, which is a big plus. They mentioned a lavender garden, but when I walked over, it was just a patch of weeds. I'm not sure if it was the wrong season, but it was a bit disappointing.FromTWD 3,432

The hotel room facilities are good, with everything that should be there. The smoking area outside is also very beautiful. The breakfast in the morning is very good, it is self-service, and there are freshly made noodles to eat. 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.

I visited Qianyun after looking at dozens of places in the area. I wanted to be away from typical city area, have a bathtub and nice outdoor area, and with easy access to Shanghai Disneyland. 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!

Honestly, this hotel🏨 is perfect in every way except for the price. We stayed in a connecting suite, which is essentially two rooms connected by a living room. It was very convenient for a family. As connecting rooms are in the executive area, the stay included breakfast, afternoon tea, and a light dinner. If you don't need to entertain, having a light meal at the hotel is quite nice. The air conditioning in the hotel was incredibly strong, to the point where I got stomach cramps from being frozen for the last two days😭. In the evenings, the hotel has an old-fashioned 'senior' music hall, where 70-year-olds perform. The gentleman playing the piano looked very familiar to me, and later the staff said he had been on CCTV, haha! My parents loved listening to the old songs. The music hall has a minimum spend of around 400 RMB per person! The hotel also has an afternoon tea dance hall where many people dance ballroom, which is quite interesting. On the 9th floor, there's an outdoor bar with amazing views of the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl Tower at night. The hotel also has a museum detailing its history from its inception to the present day, which is quite fascinating. There are daily guided tours, which are pretty fun to listen to.

This was my third stay at the Grand Hyatt Pudong within a relatively short period, and once again it was an excellent experience.
This time I stayed in a Club Room on the 80th floor. The room was slightly smaller than on my previous stay, but the spectacular view more than made up for it. I also had some work to do during my stay, and there are certainly worse places to sit with a laptop.
The Club Lounge is excellent. Breakfast there is much more relaxed than on the 53rd floor, with a quieter atmosphere and more than enough choice, including omelettes, noodle soup, fruit, vegetables and several hot dishes.
As I stayed over the weekend, I also enjoyed the afternoon tea and the evening food offering. If you do not feel like going out, there is easily enough to make a proper meal of it. The quality is genuinely impressive and among the best I have experienced in a hotel club lounge.
Five stars plus. Everything was excellent.FromTWD 5,292

This hotel exceeded my expectations. It's spacious, and the bathroom is large with separate areas for the sink and shower, plus a bathtub. The facilities are complete, and opening the curtains makes the room bright. The front desk service and room cleaning were also excellent. There are many good restaurants nearby, making it suitable for business trips...FromTWD 7,385

I specifically booked the Grand Hyatt for my parents this time, and they were extremely pleased with their stay. When they left, they even told me to make sure I thanked the hotel.
The overall hotel experience was truly outstanding. From the ambiance and views to the breakfast, everything left a great impression. The room had an amazing view, and the scenery was beautiful, allowing us to fully experience Shanghai's cityscapes right from the hotel. The breakfast selection was rich and high-quality, and the overall environment was comfortable and quiet, making it very suitable for guests traveling with elderly parents.
I especially want to commend the hotel's service. The staff were all incredibly warm and patient, and not just superficially polite. They genuinely paid attention to guests' needs. They were also very attentive to older guests, making the entire process, from check-in to check-out, feel very reassuring and comfortable. Many details didn't even need to be explicitly requested; the staff would anticipate them in advance. This thoughtful yet perfectly balanced service was what touched my parents the most during this stay.
My parents have been talking about how comfortable their stay was since they returned, full of praise for the hotel's views, breakfast, and service. They even said that if they have a chance to visit Shanghai again, they would love to stay here.
It was a very pleasant stay, and I'm also very grateful to the hotel staff for their care over the past few days. Definitely worth a five-star recommendation.FromTWD 4,653

Location and view - top!
Many thanks to Luca and Apple from the reception.
I liked the pool (very clean and beautiful), but housekeeping and gym/spa staff must be trained more (especially English language and manners).
Horizontal lounge is amazing. Staff is friendly, variety of food and drinks. But breakfast is better downstairs in the main restaurant than in the lounge.FromTWD 6,869

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.19km from city centre
The Diplomatic Suite is incredibly spacious, offering fantastic views from the 25th floor. The overall design style is classic and dignified, feeling grand rather than dated.
All room amenities worked perfectly; the TV allowed screen mirroring, and the massage tub, coffee machine, and Bluetooth speaker were all easy to use. The bedding was comfortable, the sofa was large, and the living room and dining area had huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedroom offered views from two sides, allowing us to watch the shimmering reflections on the Huangpu River during the day, and at night, enjoy an unobstructed view of the Bund's architectural clusters, Waibaidu Bridge, and the illuminated North Bund.
The hotel staff were warm and polite, housekeeping kept the room spotless, and the turndown service was thoughtful. Room service deserves special praise – you can order anytime, and it usually arrives within 30 minutes. The burgers, fried noodles, pasta, cakes, and Chinese dishes all tasted excellent.
The executive lounge service was also great. There were à la carte options for brunch, and light dinner options during happy hour. The staff were helpful with making coffee and serving à la carte dishes.FromTWD 4,265

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.58km from city centre
Visiting Shanghai during the Tourism Festival, choosing to stay at the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund was hands down the best decision of this trip. Staying in a century-old building, with stunning city views of both sides of the Huangpu River right outside your window. Our dedicated concierge, Aaron Echole, was incredibly knowledgeable about local festivities and gave us thoughtful tips for the float parade and light festival, saving us the hassle of planning everything ourselves. It truly allowed us to immerse ourselves in the romance of Shanghai in autumn. The hardware, service, and superb location – all were exceptional. This hotel is definitely a top recommendation for anyone visiting Shanghai.FromTWD 10,003

Sheshan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|35.83km from city centre
Nisha, our butler, provided excellent and responsive service, catering to all our needs. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The room environment was generally fine, but there was a musty smell in the hallway, which is a significant drawback that can't really be helped. However, we happened to check in at the same time as a senior citizen tour group, and it felt quite noisy. We hope the breakfast area arrangements can be further improved.FromTWD 6,670
