Our stay at the Meiliju Hotel (People's Square branch) in Shanghai was fantastic overall! First off, the location is unbeatable – right in the heart of the city, making travel incredibly convenient. The hotel itself is spacious, and there's a charming outdoor courtyard, perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly, and I was immediately charmed by the cute little panda decorations.
Our room was at the end of the corridor, and to our surprise, it had a private door that opened onto a balcony as large as the room itself. This offered amazing views and plenty of space to move around. The room also thoughtfully provided a care package, showing great attention to detail.
There were quite a few foreign guests at the hotel, and when we checked out, the staff even gave us hand towels.
Although we didn't order breakfast, we saw that it was quite affordable, around 30-something yuan, and could even be delivered to the in-room bar. Plus, they use Luckin Coffee beans now for their coffee.
One minor drawback was the construction happening in the adjacent building, which caused a bit of noise in the mornings. However, the hotel thoughtfully provided 3M earplugs, which effectively mitigated the sound – truly a considerate touch. A quick heads-up: there's another branch of the same brand within two to three kilometers, so be sure to double-check you're ordering takeout to the People's Square branch to avoid misdelivery. Overall, the value for money and the experience were both excellent. Highly recommend!
