Capella Shanghai Jian Ye Li

The complimentary snacks and drinks available all day were so abundant, my stomach simply couldn't keep up! Plus, there were free cocktails in the evening! You definitely won't go hungry here! If you do find yourself peckish, you can always order room service, and for breakfast, you can choose whatever you like, whether it's Western or Chinese. The service is truly excellent. The hotel views are quite different between morning and evening, offering unique vibes. Strolling around the hotel or along the surrounding tree-lined streets, you can really feel the leisurely and relaxed atmosphere here. You could easily spend your entire stay within the hotel, enjoying its tranquility. They also offer a variety of activities like qipao dressing, essential oil sachet making, yoga, a gym, and spa services, all of which are wonderful experiences. The room was fantastic too, spotlessly clean. This time, I opted for the hotel's latex pillow, which offered great support and made for a better night's sleep. All the hotel staff, including the cleaning crew, were very friendly. Durrant at the front desk was particularly polite and enthusiastic. I absolutely loved my stay this time.

This hotel is right on my doorstep, and I decided to try it out for my birthday. Before checking in, I wondered if the price was a bit high, but my prejudices were completely shattered after my stay. From the moment you step into the villa's courtyard, it evokes a sense of anticipation and comfort. The indoor temperature was just right, making it very comfortable. The villa is extremely well-maintained, with a decor that exudes an Old Shanghai charm. The cleanliness deserves a perfect score! As someone with mild OCD, this is the only place where I've been completely satisfied with the level of cleanliness. I'd heard some complaints about the shower and hot water timing, but for a villa with such an old-world feel, I found 1-2 minutes for the hot water to kick in perfectly acceptable. The water pressure in the shower was just right. The drain was a little slow, but the water didn't pool above my toes, so it wasn't an issue. All the complimentary amenities (except for the hairdryer) were quite refined. I don't understand why they still use an old-fashioned hairdryer – that's my only query. The bedding was comfortable, and the mattress provided excellent support, allowing me to have a wonderful night's sleep. They even delivered a birthday cake twice, which was a lovely touch. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied, and I'll definitely recommend this hotel as my top choice for friends or family visiting Shanghai in the future.

Flawless! A magnificent hotel with impeccable service. Thanks to the kind and beautiful Anna, our vacation turned into a fairy tale. The grounds are stunning, the rooms are beautiful with exceptional interior design, and the breakfast at the restaurant is delightful. During our trip, there was sweltering heat outside, but the hotel and its activities made up for it, leaving us with wonderful memories of our visit to Shanghai.

The service has declined. I stayed for a few days, and they kept getting my last name wrong.

Facilities: Excellent, truly unique. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: Rare and one-of-a-kind. Service: Very thoughtful and professional. Will visit again.

After returning from Capella Ubud, I had withdrawal symptoms, so I booked a stay at Capella Jian Ye Li right on my doorstep. The Shikumen-style room is very unique – a four-story villa with a small terrace. Breakfast is served in a Michelin-starred restaurant, and even the local dishes are prepared to a high standard. I participated in the Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) and bag-bedazzling activities, both of which were very interesting.

Staying at this hotel was a wonderful surprise. Not only was the environment elegant and peaceful, but the staff's warmth and professionalism made us feel incredibly welcome. The breakfast was rich and varied, satisfying even the most discerning palate. Thank you to the hotel for creating a perfect holiday for us.
