The dining experience could be improved with a bit less Chinese cuisine and more Western food options. The breakfast is always the same and not very exciting, but the snacks are a nice addition.

I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were large with a lovely garden view and beautifully decorated in an oriental style, but the air conditioning only provided heat. The location was exceptional, within walking distance of the metro and surrounded by fantastic restaurants and bars. The dining options were decent, but some items like jam and bread could be improved. The facilities overall were good.

Upon arrival, I was impressed by the superb and comfy rooms that were beautifully decorated in an oriental style. The bathroom was luxurious with a separate bathtub and shower room, and a delightful touch of welcoming tea and fruits. The quiet ambiance and the limited number of rooms made the stay very pleasant, though the language barrier with the staff was a slight drawback.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms had a charming 1930s style feel to them, which was a nice change from the usual modern hotels in Shanghai. The service was top-notch, with very helpful and efficient staff. The location was ideal, with plenty of restaurants and boutiques nearby. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with a poor and repetitive breakfast.
