Shanghai Miller Villa Hotel

Staying at Shanghai Miller Villa Hotel felt like stepping into a fairy tale—rich in history and charm from the moment you walk in. The exterior might not scream 'new and flashy,' but inside, everything has that timeless elegance of old-money quality—the bedding was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. Even small details like the hairdryer, flooring, and seating had a refined, classic touch. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and the short castle tour offered surprising insights and fun facts. I did have a slight disappointment with the terrace, but the front desk made up for it by giving me a little magnet as a thoughtful gift. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for more—this place strikes the perfect balance between heritage, comfort, and genuine hospitality. Would absolutely return.

Radisson Collection Hotel,Xing Guo Shanghai

I’ve passed by this hotel countless times while commuting, always dreaming of staying here—and finally made it happen. The moment I stepped into the grand lobby with its soaring ceiling and dazzling crystal chandelier, I knew this was going to be special. The property sits on nearly 60,000 square meters of private garden, making it feel like a hidden European estate right in the heart of bustling Shanghai. From the very first greeting, the service was exceptional—Esther from front desk went above and beyond: upgraded our room, offered a two-hour late check-out without hesitation, and even shared her WeChat for easy communication. That kind of personal touch is rare. Breakfast was an absolute highlight—huge variety, beautifully presented. From freshly steamed dim sum and handmade noodles to a wide selection of breads, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and even ice cream, every detail was thoughtfully curated. But what truly stole the show was the garden. Lush green lawns, mature trees casting dappled sunlight, historic buildings nestled among foliage—perfect for quiet strolls or Instagram-worthy shots. Every corner feels like a scene from a film. The pool is clean and refreshingly salty—almost like swimming in the sea! Plus, there are two hot tubs nearby, perfect for unwinding. The changing rooms are spacious, with full amenities including a sauna, steam room, and even a lounge area with TV where you can just lie back and relax. This might be the most comfortable five-star experience I’ve ever had. Security staff were friendly and attentive throughout, adding to that welcoming, home-away-from-home feeling. It was an unforgettable New Year’s getaway—serene, elegant, and utterly luxurious.

Soho Garden Villa Hotel (Shanghai Jiaotong University Metro Station Flagship)

I’ve stayed here twice now, and if I weren’t satisfied, I wouldn’t come back—especially in a city like Shanghai with so many options. What sets this hotel apart is the warmth and thoughtfulness behind every detail. After check-out, I was relaxing on the sofa waiting for a friend when the front desk staff kindly handed me a warm bottle of mineral water—small gesture, big impact. The room came with little treats: a tangerine, pear, and a cute snack pack of fried twists. Even the instant coffee and tea were surprisingly good—no need to bring your own. They also offer free hand warmers and pet supplies, which made my stay even more comfortable. Yes, it’s a pet-friendly hotel—perfect for travelers with furry companions. The service isn’t just efficient; it feels genuinely caring. This place doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them. Definitely coming back.

Fenyang Garden Boutique Hotel

My stay at this hotel completely exceeded my expectations. I booked the terrace room, and the moment I opened the curtains, I was greeted by a stunning view of golden ginkgo trees — absolutely breathtaking. The hotel has a traditional aesthetic in its interior design, but the facilities feel modern and well-maintained. I originally chose it just because it's directly across from Shanghai Conservatory of Music for convenience during exam season, but ended up loving every minute of my stay. Room 215 features a private bathroom with excellent water pressure — super comfortable. I even managed to take some artistic photos of my daughter that turned out beautifully. The location is perfect — close to public transit and quiet enough to relax. A great value and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Anting Villa Hotel

I booked this charming old property in Anting during the Christmas season, a little nervous about potential outdated amenities and worn-out facilities. But honestly, my stay exceeded all expectations! The room was well-equipped, meeting standard four-star quality — everything I needed was there. The balcony, though not openable, offered breathtaking views that made every moment relaxing. Fresh towels and robes were provided, feeling brand new — better than some so-called 'new' four-star hotels I’ve stayed at recently. The hotel is incredibly quiet, giving you that true sense of living in a peaceful private villa. I ended up extending my stay without hesitation. This experience genuinely deserves a shoutout — rare for me to leave a review, but I couldn’t help it. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, charm, and a serene escape in Shanghai.

Rujin Hotel Taiyuan Villa

I first studied at the Shanghai Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences during my master's year, and though I was just a stone's throw away from Taiyuan Villa, I never really took notice of it back then. Revisiting years later felt almost surreal — like stepping into a memory I didn’t know I had. Maybe I passed by six years ago, glimpsing that elegant old villa with its imposing gate and wondering who could possibly live inside. Fast forward to today: I finally stayed here, walked the same stairs once trodden by General Marshall, stood at the window, and in the misty rain, for a moment, saw myself — still that broke student from years ago. The weather kept me indoors, so I missed the garden’s charm, but tradition holds: I headed straight across the street to my favorite dumpling shop for four ounces of steamed buns. My appetite hasn’t changed — nor has my waistline. But honestly? That’s okay. Room 5132 hasn’t been renovated in ages. Peeling paint on the window grilles, curtains fluttering in the humid breeze, and creaky wooden floors that groan underfoot — yes, it’s noisy, but that’s exactly why I chose this place. It’s not about luxury; it’s about atmosphere. When I checked the platform later and saw the listing go gray, I thought, “Wait… closed already?” Only after reading reviews did I realize it was just the long-awaited renovation — relief! I’m glad they’re taking their time. One day, I’d love to come back with my girlfriend, book a room with a balcony, enjoy tea among flowers, and once again let the old floorboards whisper stories from a century past. And if possible, maybe a little discount? Because between the last visit and now, one thing’s clear: my age and weight have increased, but my wallet? Still sounds like coins clinking. Still the same broke grad student. Just hope the price isn’t as tight as my pocket. Funny, really.

From check-in to check-out, their professionalism and kindness made us feel truly welcomed.

Staying at The Langham Shanghai Xintiandi was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Xintiandi, with shopping, dining, and trendy cafés just steps away. I loved how easy it was to explore the city on foot or by metro.

The PuLi Hotel and Spa

My first trip to Shanghai this year was absolutely perfect, thanks to the recommendation from a friend who insisted I stay at The PuLi Hotel and Spa. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this place was special. The location is unbeatable—everything from the Bund to Nanjing Road and even Disneyland is just minutes away by subway or taxi. The French restaurant on the second floor is exceptional—elegant, delicious, and worth every penny, especially for a romantic dinner or a memorable celebration. Kevin from the concierge team went above and beyond, suggesting some amazing local Shanghainese eateries that were both authentic and affordable—definitely a highlight of the trip. Belle from the guest relations team gave us a warm, personalized tour of the hotel, sharing fascinating details about its design and amenities. It felt less like checking in and more like being welcomed into a home. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and every detail exuded sophistication. If you're looking for a luxurious yet genuinely welcoming stay in Shanghai, this is it—10/10, would book again in a heartbeat.
