Amazing value for money! The location is excellent, close to business districts and attractions. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with modern facilities. The bathroom's wet/dry separation was a huge plus. The service was thoughtful and prompt, with quick responses to any requests. Overall, the experience far exceeded my expectations, and there are lots of great food options right downstairs!

Amazing location with very helpful staff! You are right next to the famous Nanjing road and a 10 min away from the beautiful bund view and thr river. The rooms are nice and cozy and really have a nice aesthetic to them. The view is after the 10 min walk.

The location was perfect, close to the Nanjing Road and only 5 minutes by walk to the metro station line 2.
The girls at the reception were really friendly although they didn't speak English.
The room was pretty much clean, but we found some black hair on the floor the first day. We could've brought the hair inside with our shoes, but they didn't clean it the following days.
I really appreciated that there was a free laundry, but it was only open from 9am to 9pm. We came back to the room late at night (like 10pm) and we couldn't wash anything.
However, I really recommend this hotel and I would come back there in the future!

Highly recommended hotel in Shanghai.
Location is superb! Right downstairs is Nanjing pedestrian street, less than 5 mins walk to M&M, all the good food and attractions are within walking distance.
I travelled with a young kid and old folks. This hotel is awesome for them. Service by the hotel staff is exceptional! Special mention to Ivy for excellent service and ensuring I got the rooms near each other at the same level. Every staff is super friendly and helpful.
I really enjoyed my stay here and the next time I visit Shanghai I will definitely stay here again. ❤️🙏🏻

Pros:
Excellent location, right next to Xinzha station on Line 2.
Smart rooms were a nice touch, with some amenities (e.g. curtains, TV) controllable by voice via 小度在家 (XiaoDuZaiJia Smart Display). Room is also equipped with smart toilet.
Bathtub is spacious, and water pressure in the shower is strong.
Mixed:
The 2 washing machines and 2 dryers seem to be overused for a relatively new hotel. There was often a crowd, and at times, piles of unwashed clothes left in the laundry room. Guests would remove other guests' laundry from the washers and dryers as soon as they finished.
The parcel management system could be more efficient. While I appreciate that the hotel helps receive parcels and take-out, the receptionists often took a long time to locate packages, even if they had just arrived. Unlike some other hotels, the staff doesn’t automatically deliver take-out via the robot, although you can request.
Cons:
Staff were mostly friendly and helpful, but the biggest issue we encountered was on the last night when cigarette smoke smell started coming into our room. Despite closing the windows, the smell unexpectedly worsened. When my husband returned to the room after being out for a while, he also noticed the strong smell compared to the air outside the room. We contacted the front desk via WeChat, and a staff member came to inspect the room. He claimed not to smell cigarettes but mentioned that his nose might still be blocked from being sick. When asked for an air purifier, we were told they used to have them but not anymore, and that the 快递 (courier) had not arrived. The staff offered to move us to another room the next day if one became available, but we were checking out in the morning (and also highly doubt that the hotel was at full occupancy). When asked if the neighbouring rooms were smoking rooms, the staff said they would not know whether guests smoked in them. This was annoying since we were traveling with an infant and had specifically booked a non-smoking room. The staff only offered a diffuser to mask the smell, which does not address the real issue...
All in all, despite having an otherwise pleasant stay, I cannot recommend this hotel, especially with many other hotels in Shanghai and new ones popping up all the time.

The hotel is conveniently located between two subway stations and walkable to the Raffles City mall and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The staff here were extremely helpful, they helped me to connect to the wifi and to operate the washing machine. There is a fridge in the lobby for communal use. There is daily housekeeping. You can also get hot water from the coffee machine in the lobby which is great for cold weather. I had a room on the top floor which had a skylight window. I really liked the toiletries as well!

Great location — near the train station and within walking distance to Nanjing Pedestrian Street, yet in a quiet area. Clean room, and I love the laundry room that notifies you when your clothes are ready via QR code. The reception was super friendly, and I got a room upgrade with a window. Only thing that could be improved is the hairdryer.

I often stay here when I come to Shanghai. The location is excellent, right next to Nanjing Walking Street, surrounded by restaurants, and very convenient for transport. The hotel service is very warm and welcoming. The price is quite reasonable when it's not a holiday. The only downside is that it's often fully booked during holidays 🙁. The hotel frequently upgrades my room for free. This time, I'm staying for five days, and they upgraded me to a suite for three of those days, free of charge. My sincere thanks!

Shanghai, or “Hu” as the locals call it, is perched right at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Sure, it’s famous for its fast-paced business vibe and skyline, but honestly, there’s so much more to discover here beyond the glitz and glass towers.

- Watch Out for Trade Fairs & Events: Shanghai hosts large exhibitions (e.g., China International Import Expo in November, Auto Shanghai in April), which cause price surges and low availability.

- Opt for well-connected but less touristy areas like Jing’an, Hongqiao, or Xujiahui—close to Metro Lines 1/2/10—instead of pricier hubs (The Bund, Nanjing Road, Lujiazui).

IIsabella AugustineFirstly, I have to begin this review by highlighting the impeccable care and attention provided by the staff at Opartment. I’ve been so impressed that it’s still on my mind even days after leaving the city.
This trip was particularly special for me. I’ve visited Shanghai many times for work and have always loved the city, so this time I decided to bring my family along to experience it together. Choosing to stay at Opartment truly made the trip even more special and memorable and a big part of that is thanks to Ben.
Throughout our stay, Ben exceeded every expectation with his great care and attention. His professionalism, warmth, and thoughtful gestures made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Ben demonstrated an extraordinary standard of hospitality that’s hard to come by. His sincerity and dedication left a lasting impression on our entire family, and for that, we are truly grateful.
My heartfelt thanks also go to Candy and her front desk team, who were incredibly kind and helpful. They went beyond their usual duties helping us arrange shipments, place orders through local apps we weren’t familiar with, and always doing so with patience and a smile. And also not forgetting the gentlemen at the hotel entrance always greeting us with friendly smiles and on rainy days using an umbrella to bring us to our car at the pick up point.
In terms of service, I’ve stayed in several hotels in Shanghai, but honestly, this has been the best experience I’ve ever had here.
The room was spacious, well arranged, and simply beautiful, a space that felt both elegant and cozy. I especially recommend the suites with a balcony and city view! standing there and feeling the cool breeze, especially in autumn was such a joy. The bed was very comfortable, and I later discovered from the leaflet that guests can even choose their preferred type of pillow. That said, I slept wonderfully with the ones provided by default.
I also appreciated the thoughtful details - complimentary detergent capsules for the washing machine, a hair dryer that’s even better than Dyson, and Byredo toiletries that add a luxurious touch. Every aspect of the room reflected meticulous attention to detail.
Overall, my stay at Opartment was nothing short of exceptional. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to anyone visiting Shanghai.

220567****We booked this homestay for our family for our child's birthday party. The experience was super good, the pictures and text matched. We will stay here again next time!
✨[First glance when entering the room] Very spacious, good lighting, good ventilation, north-south transparency
🙋[To the landlord, I want to say] The reply was very timely. He patiently accompanied me to find my lost items, but it turned out to be a mistake. Thank you🥹
💡[A little surprise from the B&B] The bed is very comfortable and very suitable for a family trip
📍[Regarding the convenience of the surrounding area, I would say] It is very convenient. Nanjing Road is just downstairs. It is convenient to go anywhere in this area where every inch of land is valuable.
🛏[I must mention the house facilities] The sofa is very big and the table is very spacious. The whole family is satisfied with the stay. It is a very comfortable experience

OOumaiga〆Booked this hotel for my parents. The location is super convenient, close to everything. The area around is lively and bustling! I guess rooms in Shanghai are generally not that big because space is at a premium, but it was cozy and comfortable. A special shout-out to the front desk staff who were very attentive and took great care of my elderly parents – highly recommend!

HHuangyiWe stayed at a hotel apartment with my child during the summer break. We chose the nearby Plus Hotel, which has a great location. The soundproofing was excellent, so it was completely quiet. Our loft room was very spacious and had ample storage. Overall, it offered excellent value for money. We'd definitely prioritize staying here again if we visit the Bund in the future.

MMarinnnnaThe hotel is about 20 minutes from People Square and East Nanjing Road. The location is good for the price. However, I didn't really like the hotel itself. Firstly, there was a strong smell of cigarettes in the room, and in the hallway too. The smell, in my opinion, will never go away. The rooms have no windows. Maybe some rooms have windows, but they won't help. Our room didn't have a window. Not all the light bulbs worked, which made the light dim. There was no shampoo in the room, only shower gel. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, a small hand soap, slippers, hand and body towels were provided. However, by the way, one hand towel was dirty, with some kind of black stain. The photo shows a completely different appearance and size of the room than the actual one. Renting a room for one night is fine, just for a quick sleep 👌 but if you're looking for a longer stay, I wouldn't recommend it. Plus, the sound in the room is very good 🥲
And the staff is great, smiling and friendly.
