Shanghai Xuhui District Hotels

The MGM was an incredible stay — a perfect blend of style, comfort, and top-tier service. From the moment I arrived, the attention to detail was clear. The staff were warm and professional, the rooms were sleek and spacious, and the overall atmosphere was pure luxury. The design of the hotel is modern and striking, with a touch of bold personality that sets it apart. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re living in a movie. I had such a great experience here and will definitely be coming back. Huge thanks to the entire MGM team for an unforgettable stay.

A Hidden Gem on Wukang Road The hotel’s location is simply perfect—nestled in the heart of the former French Concession, along the tree-lined Wukang Road. Towering plane trees form a lush green canopy overhead, their branches intertwining like endless emerald tunnels. The neighborhood is dotted with charming boutiques and cafés, making it ideal for leisurely city walks.   The building itself is a masterpiece of architecture—an exquisite work of art. Though compact, it offers just the right amount of space for a tranquil retreat.   Our room was incredibly comfortable, featuring a spacious terrace that opened directly into a small garden. The view was a sea of greenery and blooming flowers. We kept the French doors wide open, letting in the gentle spring breeze. In the evenings, we spent hours on the terrace sipping tea, chatting, and reading. The book left thoughtfully by our bedside, *The Golden Branches and Jade Leaves of Shanghai*, was so engrossing that I couldn’t put it down—even during my bath!   Breakfast the next morning was delightful. Alongside the expected Western-style breakfast set (fitting for a heritage mansion), there was a sweet and unexpected touch: a warm bowl of pumpkin millet congee.   But what truly stood out was the exceptional service. We had ordered two bicycles to bring back to Singapore, but due to reinforced packaging for air transport, they exceeded the airline’s size restrictions. With limited time before our flight, we had to arrange last-minute shipping to a logistics hub in Guangzhou. The front desk staff—Ivy, Ace, and Boris—handled everything with remarkable patience and efficiency. They took charge of the freight arrangements, allowing us to leave for the airport without a single worry.   My only regret? Not finishing that captivating book. I suppose I’ll have to return to the Metropolitan Seclusive Life in Wukang to read the rest.

Good value for money, it’s a small, convenient hotel with very nice staff, suitable if you’re passing through Shanghai and need somewhere to sleep or do some work. A big park and some nice restaurants nearby.

Very nice staff. XiaoZhang and her colleagues treated us well except, perhaps one of the men, he could have been kinder, he didn’t make us feeling welcome

Overall Review of Hengshan Garden Hotel 1. **Service:** - **Exceptional hospitality** – A dedicated butler adds guests on WeChat to share local tips and promptly handles any requests. - **Attentive staff** – The service team is not only professional but also stylish, with well-tailored uniforms. - **Thoughtful touches** – Guests receive a welcome gift (including a cute plush toy) and a luggage tag upon departure. 2. **Dining:** - **Nightly complimentary soup** – A different variety each day (though slightly too sweet—could use less sugar). - **Late-night supper service** – A pleasant surprise, making it great value since you can have breakfast, dinner, *and* supper at the hotel. - **Delicious dishes** – Standouts include the **vermicelli soup** and **sweet-sour white kidney beans with preserved plum**. - **Extensive breakfast buffet** – Rich selection, arguably better than some local restaurants in shnaghai (or maybe I just didn’t find the right spots). *Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)** A special mention goes to **Manager Molly** for her **professionalism, warm service, and excellent English**, which greatly enhanced the experience. The **quality of both service and dining** fully deserves a perfect score. **P.S.** Attached is a photo of the hotel

Upon entering was impressed with the room, but when we wanted to open our luggages, realised there was no luggage banch. We can only leave the luggages along the walkways There is also proper dressing area too,, the water temperature for the shower was very inconsistent, after adjusting to the desired temperature, half way through the shower, water will slowly turned cold and gradually become very hot that you need to run away or turn the tap off. The property offered good brand toiletries for shampoo, conditioner, hand wash and shower gel which is Australian brand. Generally stay was acceptable.

One thing that really inconvenienced me was during my checkin day, the hotel had planned a power off for an hour (10-11PM) where ac and lights didn't work, so pray that you don't checkin during one of the times. Other than that, the room is spacious and provided amenities are good, but its to be expected for the price. Overall, the hotel is alright and would recommend.

My recent stay at your hotel was truly exceptional, and I would strongly recommend it to others. What makes this property stand out is the home-like warmth and comfort of your service - every staff member went above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. The convenient location with easy access to transportation was ideal for both work and leisure, surrounded by great dining and business venues. Despite being centrally located, my room remained peaceful and quiet at night—a rare combination. The unique room design deserves special mention, and I’ve already shared this ”hidden gem” with friends. When I return to Shanghai, this will be my first-choice accommodation for exactly these reasons. Keep up the wonderful work!

Good things first: location is good as it’s close to metro and near Jiajia tang bao! Staff were really pleasant and friendly! However the room layout is awful! The showroom is right next to the front door which means the bath mat needs to be placed right next to the door where it’s most likely to be dirty. And if you happen to open the door at the same time when someone enters, good luck with door smashing and no privacy! Next to the shower cubicle is the toilet which is facing the mirror and the toilet door is made of glass! So if the lights are on and someone is sitting on the toilet, what a view for another person in the room to observe! And we were travelling with a young kid so extra trouble! The light panel was on the same level with the bed which wasn’t an obvious problem until lights suddenly turned on three times between midnight and 2am, I figured it was caused by our pillows slightly overhanging above the control panel! So many careless design flaws that makes our stay very stressful. The worst is that the smoke detector was wrapped by toilet tissue! Clearly the previous guests had found a way to deactivate the smoke detector to have a cigarette! Had anyone carried out basic inspection this would have been fixed but clearly there is lack of supervision and management. Overall I do not recommend especially when travelling with family or care for privacy.

Clean room (with nice Air Con lol) with excellent customer services! Got some cute little gifts when I checked out the room. Very nice experience with my short stay in this hotel overall!
