The views outside this hotel are absolutely stunning, beyond words. Just a few steps away, you can walk to the bridge and enjoy the river scenery, especially at night – it's so beautiful you won't want to go back to your room.
The room I was assigned was also very romantic, with a sloped attic window. I loved being able to lie in bed and look out the window; it's a feeling I really appreciate.
The breakfast was better than some other hotels I've stayed at. While it was still pretty standard Western and Asian fare, it tasted good and was more than enough. The front desk thoughtfully provided a coffee machine and an ice maker, so you can grab a coffee or ice whenever you want, which was really convenient.
My only minor issue with the room was that it was a bit humid and had a slight musty smell. However, if you're in Shanghai for a business trip and need to stay for an extended period, I actually think this place is quite suitable because the wardrobe in the room is very spacious and can easily accommodate a lot of belongings.
Another small issue was that the hotel hallways were quite warm. This was especially noticeable this season; every time I left my room, the walk to the elevator felt a bit stuffy and hot. But for me, this wasn't a severe enough problem to warrant a low rating for the hotel; it's an acceptable minor drawback.
One thing I found really convenient was the hotel's dedicated pick-up area. For instance, if you order takeout, get a delivery, or a rider brings something, it's placed in a designated area. You can go and check it yourself, making the whole process very easy.
To be honest, this place feels more like a hybrid between a hotel and a serviced apartment. The facilities are well-suited for long-term stays, and for business trips or extended periods in Shanghai, I think it's much more convenient than a typical hotel.
But I have to say it again: the location is fantastic. Seriously, the location is absolutely gorgeous. For this area, I think it's one of the best value-for-money options I've seen so far. Taking an evening stroll, the surrounding scenery is truly breathtaking.
The staff are also all lovely and friendly. The only thing is they sometimes seem quite busy, so online replies can be slow, and you might have to wait a while. However, once they do reply or you communicate with them in person, you'll find everyone is very pleasant and willing to help.
So, overall, my impression of this hotel is very positive. It's not without its flaws, but considering the location, price, environment, and convenience for long-term stays, I think these minor issues are perfectly acceptable.
My room didn't have a microwave or an individual washing machine, but that wasn't a big deal. The kitchen staff were very kind and always happily helped me heat up food. The hotel also has a public laundry room with irons available, so even for longer stays, it doesn't feel inconvenient.
What I loved most was the evening ambiance. Stepping out of the hotel at night, the riverside and surrounding scenery are truly captivating. The whole neighborhood is also very quiet, not noisy at all, making walks incredibly pleasant.
If you're looking for a beautiful, quiet place that's suitable for longer stays, I think this place is definitely worth considering.
