As the name suggests, Shanghai Hidden Hotel is quite literally hidden! The lobby is tucked away on the 5th floor of the building, so it can be a little tricky to find, especially on your first visit.
That aside, the location is fantastic! It’s just a 2–5 minute walk from the nearest metro station and close to Nanjing Road, making it really convenient to get around Shanghai.
The hotel is relatively new and beautifully decorated in an elegant Chinese Zen style. The public areas are also clean, comfortable and well maintained.
What we appreciated most was the service. The front desk staff member who assisted us during check-in was particularly friendly and helpful. She responded promptly whenever we needed assistance and made us feel well taken care of. We were also grateful that the hotel allowed us to extend our check-out time to 2pm, which was a big plus as we had a late-night flight.
The housekeeping staff were lovely too, always greeting us politely whenever we crossed paths in the hallway.
Overall, we had a really pleasant stay. Great location, a beautiful setting and genuinely warm service. We would happily stay here again on our next visit to Shanghai!
