Shanghai Yiqinyuan Resort Reviews

The scenery around the resort is beautiful. Just expect for there to be nothing to do. Just enjoy the peace and quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is the usual that you can expect around.

This Forest Room is so small. Very poor value for money and much more expensive than local booking. How can one trust Trip.com?

Breakfast was good. far from shanghai 🥲

Very close to dongping national forest park. It’s only 20 minutes walk

Great place , would recommend to everyone.

I love Yiqinyuan for the calm and peaceful forest, I walked by myself during the last day and if you do visit, try to do it without any gadget. Just bring your keycard. Walk through the tall trees, hear the birds, feel the sun and inhale fresh air. It is very sad that I have a non-refundable ticket that made me not enjoy the accomodation I booked. Since it was the coldest day of the year they decided to move all guests who stays in the container van rooms to their building rooms. To move In their main building I need to add more payment and we were relocated to building 5. It was also an advantage since the Foresta Cafe was there and the playroom (not so much in there but still worth the visit). However, the room we were in was so dusty, the aircon was blowing some dusty air and the carpet was so dirty. It ruined the whole trip and even of they were able to change the beddings and vacuum the carpet it was still tickling our noses. We were really looking forward to a nice Christmas trip but yeah. I booked 3 nights because we really love the place. 😭 The next day I asked again to be moved to a different room, they said they were fully booked but alas there was an available room next to us. The first room was so inconvenient because whenever we turn the lights off the WIFI also goes off. The fridge was not working well, the temperature outside was much better. The second room was better than the first room but the exhaust fan wasn't working. The breakfast was only located in the main restaurant which was 15 mins (waiting for the electric car) away from our building. It was a race to get to breakfast and the seating was not enough to be near the buffet. Time is running and you have Marathon between your table and the buffet table. Food was great though they alternate between the dates. Dinner was also good and had great service but not so much choice of small dished for a small family. Local food at it's best! La Foresta Cafe was interesting. They helped us keep our Christmas pies in their fridge. The only way to order was via the QR on the table but the catch was you have to pay right away for your order to go through which waa different from the main restaurant. So there we were waiting for our food but they didn't really get through and had to end up sitting and waiting for an hour. The next day it took 30 mins. for the food to come. The taste was good serving was big, can share. The electric cars were very prompt and the drivers were very kind and polite. The food again was really yummy! The staff were friendly too. You can buy swan/duck feed at 5rmb/2 packs at the coffee shop at the reception. They were giving away eyemask and heatpacks. The bottles water was also free. The snack at the room was cheaper than the vending machine. It is far from the town so make sure you have what you need before heading to the resort. They have hangers and iron in every room at building 5 where we stayed. Not a lot of English speaking staff so bring some Mandarin phrases or get ready with a translator APP. After a long mixed review I just wish that the resort informed us ahead that the accomodation will not be available and made an option for rebooking or ensure better accomodation it was really a hassle.

Excellent, away from busy lifestyle. Calm and relax atmosphere. Few entertainment activities.

Great getaway from shanghai center! The flower park is only 10 min walk from the hotel. The service and the food was really good. Thanks

Location is pretty remote-difficult to get around the area without a car as no bikes available in this region of the island. The resort itself was fantastic but only one gate was available to leave which made it awkward, food is very expensive in the restaurant and activities were limited at this time of the year. On the plus side, breakfast was excellent, the walkways within the resort were awesome and hotel shuttle service to get around the resort is great too. Great resort for families and especially if you have a car! I would stay again, but probably get a driving license first 😂.

The resort in the forest has a perfect external environment. As for the internal state, it is a pity that the beauty is old. No matter how hard we try in daily maintenance, the layout is fixed and cannot be changed. However, the overall feeling is good. It should be recommended to friends who need family travel.

We often go to Yiqinyuan Resort. The environment there is elegant and the scenery is pleasant. I feel that the green environment is much better than the Dongping Forest Park opposite. The service there is also very first-class. Especially the waiter Wu Jiayu, when we encountered problems, she helped us solve them promptly, patiently and professionally. We felt very warm. The catering service is also very good. The local specialties are very strong in flavor. And they are quite cheap and good in quality. Suddenly I remembered a saying, you don’t know until you eat it, and you will never forget it once you eat it.

Second time here. Very forest hotel, wetland room is very good for children, met many cute animals. The deer came from Dongping Forest Park, I finally found it on the second day after two days of searching, but it was a little cautious and could only watch from a distance. There are geese and ducks in the resort, you can feed them, and there are cute cats. I like it very much, I will come again next time.

I bought a voucher on Ctrip and made an appointment one day in advance. I upgraded the room, which was very spacious and bright with complete facilities. It was a different scene to stay in on a rainy day. The lotus in the pond was blooming and very beautiful. 👌👌🌹🌹✔️✔️

There are many room types, complete facilities, good environment, and the forest oxygen bar is well-deserved. There were too many people staying on weekends, and the breakfast room was full of people, but another set of breakfast was prepared in the banquet hall, which is worth a thumbs up.
