Booked a 2-night, 1-day deal for a double room and only paid $728—includes dinner and breakfast. Honestly, the food was incredible! I’ve shared photos of the buffet, and it honestly rivals what you’d find at many five-star hotels. Think fresh crab, juicy lamb chops, premium salmon sashimi, Peking duck, hot pot, an array of main dishes, and decadent desserts—everything was abundant and well-prepared. My parents were thrilled, saying it’s one of the best value experiences they’ve had. The room itself is spacious at 70 square meters with a view of the pool, and stepping out onto the balcony gives you a stunning vista. It’s peaceful, elegant, and so relaxing. This place totally exceeded my expectations. The owner’s from Guangdong—big respect! If you’re looking for comfort, great food, and unbeatable value, Star River Shanghai is a must-try.
Walking out of the metro station and turning the corner brings you right to the door—super convenient. The hotel is just steps away from Xujiahui Cathedral and Xujiahui Library, with luxury shopping hubs like Hongkong Plaza and Meiluo City nearby. If you're heading to Shanghai Stadium or Sports Arena for a concert, it's only one stop on the metro—or even easier, a short walk or bike ride away. This A.T.HOUSE property has that modern art vibe I love. The second-floor afternoon tea lounge and late-night dining spot are both stylish and inviting. The pastries are delicious, and the chicken soup wontons as well as the pork-filled dumplings are seriously satisfying. I was originally booked into a room type that wasn’t available yet, but the team kindly upgraded me to a Premium Suite—huge upgrade in space, view, and design. Everything felt thoughtfully curated. I ordered fresh fruit platters after my concert, and they arrived at my door in no time. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the service throughout was top-notch. Even at check-out, they handed me a lovely souvenir—a large record-shaped biscuit box that’s both cute and tasty. If there’s another concert in town, this will be my go-to hotel again.
We decided to check in a day early for our kid’s performance at the hotel’s banquet hall on New Year's Eve, avoiding potential traffic stress. From the moment we arrived, the front desk had already prepared our room—so thoughtful and efficient! The staff went above and beyond, even providing earplugs when asked. Our room on the 16th floor was spacious and well-designed with a business-friendly vibe—comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep, and a bathroom with clear separation between wet and dry areas, plus a relaxing bathtub. Since we had a late checkout due to the event, we were pleasantly surprised to get complimentary parking—no extra hassle. Breakfast and lunch were both enjoyed at the hotel restaurant. The breakfast buffet offered a good variety and consistent quality, while lunch was equally satisfying. Everything was smooth, convenient, and genuinely enjoyable. This stay exceeded expectations—perfect for families or business travelers looking for comfort and reliability. Highly recommended.
The value here is absolutely outstanding—no wonder it was packed during New Year’s holiday. The dinner buffet at 1188 Restaurant was incredible: unlimited fresh snow crab, salmon, sweet shrimp—all top quality and more than enough to satisfy any food lover. Despite the heavy crowd and high pressure on staff, the team handled everything with remarkable calm and efficiency. It’s rare to see such professionalism under busy conditions. Staying in the hotel during chilly weather, enjoying great food, and just unwinding—it felt like the perfect balance of comfort and indulgence. Special shoutout to Xiao Xu (Xiao X) at reception—quiet but incredibly effective, with that classic Shanghai sense of understated excellence. This place truly captures the spirit of Shanghai, and I’d definitely come back.
The room was spotless, quiet, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night's sleep. The pillows were surprisingly cozy, and I actually slept better than I expected. The lobby has a modern, calming vibe with thoughtful details everywhere. The front desk staff were genuinely warm and attentive, always ready to help without being intrusive—so considerate! Location is excellent: just a short walk to the World Expo site and easily accessible to Lujiazui via subway. Everything about this stay felt seamless and premium. I’ve stayed at several Atour properties before, and this one stands out as one of the best. Definitely my go-to choice for future trips to Shanghai.
Perfect for business travelers! The hotel is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from the metro and right by the Huangpu River. Waking up to the view of the river from my window was such a treat—calming and refreshing. The room was clean, spacious, and the bed was super comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a long day of meetings. Staff were friendly and efficient throughout my stay. Great value for the price, and I’ll definitely be coming back when I visit Shanghai again.
Honestly, this was a total surprise! I originally booked three places—near Disneyland (around $80), a luxury urban retreat ($380), and SAVHE Hotel Shanghai World Expo. I never expected the most memorable stay to be the $80 one. The room was spacious, beautifully designed with warm wood tones, and filled with natural sunlight that made it feel incredibly cozy. The service stood out—after adding the concierge on WeChat, I could request laundry pickup/delivery, tea and snacks, yoga sessions, package forwarding, and even reservations at nearby Yuan Gu Muso Restaurant. I had lunch in the Instagram-worthy wooden cabin downstairs—so photogenic and peaceful. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. This wasn’t just a place to sleep—it was an experience. With such great value and attention to comfort and convenience, I’d definitely come back without hesitation.
Staying at JOYA Hotel Shanghai Xujiahui was an absolute delight, especially given its unbeatable location—just a short walk from the heart of Xujiahui and easily accessible by metro. The room exceeded my expectations: spacious, well-lit, and incredibly clean. Even with a large suitcase, there was plenty of room to move around—perfect for travelers who value comfort and convenience. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully curated, including the bath amenities that carried a subtle, high-end fragrance I couldn’t help but notice. But what truly made the experience memorable was the staff. From check-in to checkout, everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Special thanks to Shasha, who went above and beyond by offering personalized travel tips and local recommendations. Her knowledge of hidden gems and must-try restaurants made my trip unforgettable. I’m already planning my next visit to Shanghai just so I can see her again. Truly a hotel that delivers on every level.
If you're attending a concert at Mercedes-Benz Arena, this hotel is an absolute must-choose. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the venue, so you can head straight to your room after the show without any hassle. The room was spacious with all the essentials, and I especially loved the capsule coffee machine. The mini-fridge had basic snacks and drinks, which was convenient. Breakfast was fantastic—varied options and great quality. There’s ample parking, and nearby there are plenty of kid-friendly spots, making it perfect for families. With such a great value and excellent convenience, this place truly delivers. I’ll definitely be back!
Stayed at MGM Shanghai West Bund on January 1st, and despite the hotel being busy, every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly and attentive 👍 While our room was delayed slightly, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade—what a treat! The view from the window was stunning, and my kids had an absolute blast exploring the space 🥳 This was my first visit to this property in eight years, having moved cities since last time, and it still managed to exceed expectations 💖 The front desk team—both the guys and girls—were so warm and professional, making us feel right at home 🌷 When we checked out, I casually mentioned how much my child enjoyed the stay, and they immediately handed us a little lion plushie as a sweet keepsake! That kind of thoughtful gesture truly made the trip unforgettable 🤩 It’s not just about the luxury—it’s the genuine care and attention that makes this hotel stand out. A perfect blend of comfort, charm, and surprise. Definitely coming back.
I stayed at EVEN Hotels Shanghai Expo for a conference at the nearby World Expo Center, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The hotel is just a short walk away from the venue—perfect for busy event schedules. From the moment I arrived, the staff, especially front desk agent Xiao Zhang, was incredibly warm and helpful. They upgraded us to a suite with no extra charge, which made our stay feel even more special. The room was modern, spotless, and packed with thoughtful amenities—everything worked perfectly, from the lighting to the air conditioning. Breakfast was fantastic: fresh, well-prepared, and offered a great variety of options. No detail was overlooked, and the overall vibe felt clean, quiet, and professional. If I’m ever back in Shanghai for another event, this will be my top choice. Highly recommend this hotel for business travelers and visitors alike.
This stay was absolutely fantastic! The hotel has a serene and elegant ambiance, with spacious, bright rooms that are spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night's sleep. Staff were courteous and professional from check-in to housekeeping, making me feel genuinely welcomed. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, both local and international, with fresh, delicious food. Located just steps away from Xujiahui’s vibrant core, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the city by metro or on foot.
