Boutique Hotels in Shanghai

The hotel has a great location—the main shopping street and the waterfront are within walking distance. The metro is within walking distance, which is very important (a two-minute walk). This is especially important because, when returning to the hotel tired in the evening, we could quickly get from the metro to the hotel. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the reception manager, Suki — she helped us arrange our domestic flight to the Avatar Mountains (we couldn't check in or choose seats). She was a very pleasant and responsible woman! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Having stayed at numerous top-tier five-star hotels both domestically and internationally, especially many in Shanghai, The Bellagio Shanghai is one of the very few that makes me want to return again and again. It's grand yet refined, with impeccable attention to detail. This stay was even better; Penny from guest services was beautiful and enthusiastic. She called and messaged me in advance to inquire about my check-in needs, and upon learning I was with a friend's family, she proactively arranged our rooms on the same floor and close to each other. She thoughtfully prepared fruit and toiletries for the children and even helped coordinate with their partner brand, Range Rover, for station drop-off, ensuring my friend's family and I had a perfect stay. The location is superb, convenient for both The Bund and North Bund, offering Suzhou Creek views, quiet yet central. Another highlight is the fantastic breakfast; The Bellagio's mini wontons are arguably the best in the country. This is a purely handwritten review, and I am extremely, extremely satisfied.

Had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to transportation. While the room facilities aren't the newest, the bedding was comfortable, making for a very relaxing stay. The front desk staff were quite friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. Overall, the hotel's environment and cleanliness are far superior to express hotels in the same price range. Highly recommend.

For my last night in Shanghai, I chose the YMCA Hotel. 1. **Location is amazing!** It's just a 2-minute walk from the exit of Dashijie Metro Station. Right next door is Xian De Lai, a renowned Chinese time-honored brand restaurant, and every dish there is delicious. 2. **The hotel itself is a historic building** with deep roots. The relief carvings on the stairs, along with the emerald green ceilings and carpets, give it a unique and distinctive feel. 3. **The room facilities are comprehensive.** It features a wet/dry separation bathroom, a smart toilet as standard, and even a safe. The hand soap on the vanity smelled so good, I actually looked it up because I want to buy it! 😀 4. **Three bonus details:** There were alcohol wipes next to the toilet, a clever foldable metal clothes rack on the wall, and the disposable slippers were of really good quality.

I made a last-minute decision to stay at this hotel, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. They personally escorted me to my room, explaining all the features and amenities, and even highlighted the hotel's special services. The room offered a direct view of the Lujiazui 'Three-Piece Suit' skyline, including the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower – the entire panorama was right before my eyes. Although the hotel has been around for a while, it's still very well-maintained. The breakfast selection was extensive. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

After spending over two months in Shanghai, The Yangtze Hotel was the fifth hotel I chose during my trip. The first thing that drew me in was its location on Hankou Road – a tranquil spot amidst the hustle and bustle, much quieter than hotels directly on Nanjing West Road. Plus, it's right next to People's Square Metro Station; you can enter the station within two minutes of leaving the hotel. Extremely convenient! If you want to go shopping, just turn left out of the hotel and walk one block, and you're on Nanjing West Road. There are plenty of dining options around the hotel. The hotel's own Rose 1903 restaurant on the second floor is excellent; my mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. If your dining bill exceeds 800 RMB, they even offer a complimentary professional photo session, and the pictures turned out beautifully. The rooms are also very spacious. We booked one room with a balcony and one without, and both were very satisfying. The balcony room actually had two balconies, one accessible from the bathroom and one from the main room. It was lovely to enjoy the breeze on the balcony in the early mornings and evenings. My family will be returning to Shanghai in a couple of months, and my mother has already said we'll definitely be staying at this hotel again.

The hotel was the perfect finish to our three-week China holiday. With a huge outdoor pool and a large indoor pool, it was ideal for spending the last two days relaxing with the kids. On weekends there's a great Chinese buffet where Europeans will also find plenty of tasty options. The staff were extremely helpful. We had a room with a huge bed plus an extra bed, and one of the kids slept in our bed with us — that worked well too. The only small downside: the pool could easily have held another half metre of water.

My stay here was pleasant in every aspect. The hotel is conveniently located with excellent transportation links nearby. The front desk staff were welcoming and efficient, handling check-ins smoothly and creating a relaxed atmosphere for communication. Guest Relations Specialists Leah and Lynn were particularly attentive and patient, making all daily inquiries and requests hassle-free. The room was clean and tidy, contributing to a great overall experience. If you're celebrating a birthday, I recommend communicating it in advance – there might be a surprise! 🎈 The infinity pool is also very photogenic.

This appears to be an older hotel though maintenance was done to keep things running and clean. It is in a good location in the city for our planned activities. There was ease of access and I liked that the facility had laundry self service available on site 24 hours per day. The laundry access was the most important because I traveled light and I went in August when it was the hottest and most humid time in Shanghai. Staff were professional and greeter at the door helped with opening and closing car doors and getting luggage out of car. Hotel lobby was well lit and spacious and comfortable. My parents with my sisters got a room with a broken bathroom door and non-working phone. Once staff were informed, they were quick to move them to a different room. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to fully explore the hotel and utilize the gym and swimming pool. The hotel room I had was comfortable with everything working. It was well lit and the AC system functioned very well. The only thing I did not like was the smoke smell in the hallways. Smoking cigarettes is a huge problem in China and of course the hotel has no control over this. However they can implement better air filtration and cleaning systems as many travelers may be asthmatic or have strong allergic sensitivity to the smoke particles.

We are lucky to stay here , it’s a very nice hotel with beautiful views to the bund and the finantial area, despite the don’t really speak English they use translator all the time and the conversation always go smooth! In the reception we were attended by Xiao Han very friendly
