Shanghai Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Shanghai, China

We always stay here. Starbucks is 2 blocks away. View of famous bridge is right across the street. Great little British Bar on the first floor. Takes a hour to get to Pudong airport by Metro - but you will never get stuck in a traffic jam again.

Very pleasant place to stay .rooms very large and very cool . The facilities are a bit tired but for all that I would stay there again due to the quality Colonial Style and proximity to the Bund .

The hotel is beautiful and classy and conveniently right on the Bund. Check-in was swift and easy. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious, We stayed in the Shanghai Studio rooms. The bed was very comfortable, soft but firm; there were 4 king-size pillows provided. Also plenty of free bottled water. Restrooms are Western-style (this is important in China, you may get a squatting toilet instead of a sitting toilet in some hotels), and the toilets were washlet (warm water shoots out to wash your bum at the touch of a button). The water pressure in the shower was an excellent full spray. Internet service was speedy, though my VPN did not always manage to connect. The hotel staff will provide assistance to use their VPN if you don't have one of your own. The staff was consistently friendly, polite and helpful, especially with providing written Chinese directions for cab drivers, making telephone calls for us in Chinese, and translating random Chinese things we could not decipher, like alerts on our phone!

The hotel has an old world charm with modern amenities, the bathroom and bedroom were lovely, very comfortable and comforting

When we arrived in Shanghai the first issue that came about is that apparently there are multiple Jin Jiang hotels and the expedia listing didn't say which one it was. Also, it doesn't say the name in Chinese so that doesn't help. In addition, when we figured out which hotel it was, there are multiple buildings with multiple check ins and we were told we had to take all of our bags and walk a ways away to check in at the other building. It was a bit of a cluster. Anyway, the hotel itself was really nice and had good eats. It was conveniently close to good shopping and the staff were friendly. Room service was DELICIOUS. My only other complaint was that we couldn't use the swimming pool because we didn't have swim caps....which they were gonna let us use for a steep charge. Bummer.

Stayed there many times. Close to great bars and restaurants.

I stayed before in this hotel and I enjoyed my time there. I will book again in my next trips to China.

Great location with many eateries...a few banks and shopping areas around hotel location.

Excellent hotel in great location for sightseeing, and also ideally located for Metro (short walk across a road to nearest station). Staff very attentive and friendly. Breakfast buffet had a good selection, and other facilities, such as pool and gym, were very good.

The hotel is 10 minutes walking to Yuyuan, 5 minutes walking to subway station, also 15 minutes taxi ride to Waitan and Pudong popular districts, convenient location. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. We booked a city view executive room for 4 nights. The room is clean and comfortable, water pressure at the shower is really good, bathroom is clean. Toilet paper is not very soft though. Breakfast had plenty variety, coffee machines are a bit confusing and slow to use. Breakfast area is not so big, has an outdoor terrace, after 8:30pm could be pretty busy. The chief in breakfast serving area is a bit doll looking, not greeting to guests. A couple of non-Asian staffs seemed new hires not well-trained, took our unfinished plates away when we stepped to get drinks, which resulted other people sat at our table, caused unnecessary confusion and misunderstanding among guests, the girl didn't even apologize to us. But, the restaurant manager was nice and sent fruit plate to our room for apology that day. Overall, it was a good stay, will still recommend to others. But, the breaskfast service need to be improved.
