Shanghai Xuhui District Hotels

《A Leisurely Day at Donghu: Relax, Swim, and Savor》 Donghu Hotel offers elegant twin rooms that are warm and tranquil. The wooden floors, bathed in soft light, complement the clean and refined bathroom. A day spent here feels utterly relaxed and unhurried. Breakfast is simple yet nourishing. Warm soy milk soothes the stomach, while corn, sweet potatoes, and steamed buns provide ample carbs. Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, alongside braised meats and nuts, offer a balanced and wholesome meal, preparing you for the day ahead. In the afternoon, I headed to the hotel's pool for a refreshing swim. The crystal-clear water shimmered with ripples. Underwater, the water enveloped my body, stretching my shoulders and back, relieving the fatigue from prolonged sitting. Switching to breaststroke, the kicking and pulling stretched my core and limbs, my heart and lungs rising and falling rhythmically. Sweat dissipated with the water, washing away all my accumulated weariness. After my swim, I moved to ”Xiji Gangjiu” to try some Cantonese dim sum. Each dish was a delight. Garlic oysters are nourishing and rich in protein, while spring onion chicken replenishes vital energy. Fresh shrimp and coriander dumplings are light and appetizing. Beef balls with choi sum provide excellent protein and dietary fiber, and the two-tone water chestnut cake is delightfully sweet and refreshing. The combination of seafood, poultry, vegetables, and grains was well-balanced—fresh, not greasy, and wonderfully wholesome. A dip in the 'azure waters' stretched my muscles and bones, a 'Cantonese feast' nourished my body, and the elegant room provided a sanctuary for my mind. With a perfect blend of activity and rest, and nourishing food, a day of leisure at Donghu Hotel brought a deep sense of peace, relaxation, and freedom.

Another comfortable stay here. The room was meticulously cleaned, the bedding was cozy, and the soundproofing was good. The staff at the front desk, both the ladies and gentlemen, provided excellent service, making the check-in/check-out process simple and quick. The location is superb, offering convenient access to transport. Overall, everything was top-notch. I've saved this hotel and it will be my first choice next time I'm in the area.

This place is an affordable place for any groups of 4. The location is near Anfu and Wukang road if interested in shopping. The included free laundry and dryer was very much welcome and the gym was also great to use. We also loved ordering food in and using the robot delivery service to deliver our food. A few things for improvement however: - there was mould found in the showers and tiles in both bathrooms - a lot of wear and tear that was not expected to be found in a 4 star hotel - the entrance to the nearest station is around a 5 minute walk however actually walking to the platform is another 10 minutes which added a lot more expected time to our trips. Not the fault of the accomodation but something to consider. - out of our 5 day stay, room service wasn’t completed on one of the days and we had to ask for new towels to be provided - all 4 guests were given passes for the doors but only 2 worked and when we fixed the other 2, the first two would deactivate

I stayed here for a concert. It's not too far from the stadium, and the transportation is very convenient, with a subway station right opposite the hotel. I booked a triple room with two 1.35m beds and an extra 1.1m bed, which was perfectly sufficient for three adults. The room wasn't huge, and it felt a bit cramped with all the beds, but it was clean. The faucet at the sink could use some improvement, as water splashes everywhere when you wash your hands. Also, the overhead shower in this room had issues; the water pressure was low and it kept fluctuating between hot and cold. The handheld showerhead, however, was good and had strong pressure. The breakfast buffet offered a good variety of dishes, and the food tasted nice with good quality.

My stay exceeded expectations! The hotel design is elegant, and the room was spacious, bright, and spotless. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, proactively offering local tips. The location is convenient, within walking distance to the metro station and commercial areas. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of choices. It was a perfect stay, and I would definitely choose this hotel again!

I was there from 1-6 Aug. Service is excellent! From service desk they are wonderful. Our chambermaid has been very attentive, she would clean our room when we are out within her schedule and she provides us the toiletries and water we need on a timely basis. She’s friendly, service oriented and helpful! Front desk is also very accommodative and service oriented. They are always looking out for us like storing our luggages and other requests in a timely manner. The security also looks out for our grab car and help us with luggages. Personally, I love the soft drinks concept teh hotel have, quietness and cleanliness. Thanks, Joya hotel! Hope to come again!

Every time I visit downtown Shanghai, I stay here. The hotel front desk staff are incredibly warm and attentive. They'll always offer you a bottle of water while you wait at the front desk. I've even been able to check in early when my flight arrived in the morning, which is incredibly thoughtful. The hotel's breakfast spread is also extensive, and the restaurant staff are very welcoming. I've stayed here three or four times in the past two months alone. The location is also convenient. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is great. It's about a 10-minute walk to the stadium for concerts, and less than a 20-minute walk to Xujiahui Library, Xu Guangqi Memorial Hall, and Grand Gateway 66. A taxi ride would only be the minimum fare. The hotel staff were enthusiastic and helpful, making check-in and check-out very quick. They were also very thoughtful when it came to giving directions, delivering meals, and bringing water. The breakfast variety and taste were both good. However, I will not stay at this hotel again! We had wonderful memories of Novotel hotels in Guiyang and Xi'an, so we chose Novotel again for our trip to Shanghai. To our surprise, the bathroom in our room had a terrible sewer smell! The stench kept us awake all night! This truly does not live up to Novotel's quality! And even strolling along the sycamore-lined streets of Xujiahui, the intermittent sewer smell carried by the light rain was also surprising!

The location is great, with many streets to explore and plenty of restaurants and bars to relax at in the evenings. The hotel itself is a beautiful old villa. The room was quite clean, though the daily cleaning could be a bit more thorough – dust on the windowsill and a paper ball under the table stayed there throughout our stay. I wish they'd clean the shower drain of hair daily; after two days, it started to clog. Since it was late and my child was asleep, calling for service wasn't convenient, so I had to deal with it myself. Otherwise, the hygiene was decent. The service was good; toiletries were delivered promptly, and the staff was very friendly. Despite being an older building, the room had no strange odors, which was a big plus. I'd definitely recommend it and would choose to stay here again on my next trip to Shanghai.

The room is well-equipped, comfortable, spacious, and bright, not to mention clean and tidy. The hotel's location is excellent, with easy access to the subway, making it convenient to get anywhere. I'm definitely considering staying here again next time.
