Romantic Hotels in Shanghai, China

Our staycation was fantastic! 👍 I contacted the hotel in advance to arrange a bed rail and bottle sterilizer. Elio at the front desk was super nice ❤️. The pool experience was amazing, with a 0.5m children's pool equipped with water play facilities, and a 0.9m massage pool that even our baby could enjoy. The lifeguards were incredibly attentive, constantly keeping an eye on every family. When we left our swim ring in the room, one of them immediately gave our baby a floating board. The gym is full-sized, and I saw many group classes I'd love to try next time. The kids' play area is huge; our 18-month-old had a blast climbing around. Hotel guests get 24-hour access, covering two days. The hotel food is also suitable for small children, so no need to bring your own baby food! Plus, it's connected to Kerry Parkside, so you can buy anything you need on the spot. My husband said he wants to come for a staycation twice a month now!

I chose this hotel because it was recommended by Ctrip as the number one hotel for room views. I often stay at Banyan Tree hotels when I'm vacationing abroad. However, the Banyan Tree Shanghai was quite a disappointment. First, I'm not sure how it topped Ctrip's list. There are many hotels with better views at the same price point. The standard rooms here only offer a view of the river. If you're going for a deluxe room, there are definitely better hotels to choose from. I arrived at the hotel around 9 PM, and the ambient lighting was very dim, which gave a poor first impression. During check-in, it was the first time a five-star hotel tried to upsell me a room upgrade. It felt like I was at an all-season hotel being pushed to sign up for a membership card. I mentioned that it was my birthday the next day and asked if the hotel could provide some decorations. The response was that I'd need to inform the front desk again tomorrow for the decoration service. Why do I need to inform them twice? Most hotels offer concierge services nowadays, but Banyan Tree requires me to go to the front desk again the next day for decorations. This really shows a lack of service awareness. Ctrip automatically offers room upgrades, and since it was my birthday, I rarely encounter situations where an upgrade isn't given. When I asked why I couldn't be upgraded, they said there were no rooms available. However, I checked the room availability and saw there were. When I asked again, they replied it depends on the situation and couldn't be arranged at that moment. Upon reaching my room, I ordered takeout, only to find that it could only be delivered to the entrance. I then had to call the front desk to confirm my order before staff would bring it up, which was very inconvenient. After opening the window, the view was actually mediocre – half river view, half of the offices in the opposite securities building (clearly visible). It was a far cry from the advertised scenic views. I wanted to upgrade my room and asked a staff member to show me around. After the tour, I was told there were no rooms available. I went to the hotel pool and found it to be an underground children's pool, also selling ** fitness packages. The pool walls were old and moldy. I really wouldn't recommend it. On the positive side: The staff member who showed me the upgraded room, the restaurant staff, the bellboy, and the rooftop bar staff were all very pleasant and provided genuine service. The hotel breakfast was excellent, plentiful, and delicious, and served until 12 PM. Check-out time could be arranged flexibly. Ignoring the view with the window closed, the room space arrangement was very good. In summary: It's an older five-star hotel, half of which feels outdated and the upselling felt a bit 'low-rent.' The other half still maintains the standards of a high-end hotel. Overall, the value for money is low, and the comfort level is also low.

This was my first stay here. It's not a brand new hotel, but the facilities are still good, and the room was clean and tidy. The breakfast was standard, typical for a business hotel. The front desk service was excellent, and they offer airport drop-off, which makes getting around very convenient. The location is about a 10-minute drive from the airport, and there are plenty of small shops nearby, so finding food isn't an issue. I would definitely stay here again.

Booked this hotel through Trip.com, and it was the Toy Story Hotel at Disneyland. The location is excellent, with very convenient transportation; there's a continuous shuttle bus to the park. The hotel faces the sea, and the lobby has a strong artistic and luxurious style, really emphasizing a 'family-friendly' vibe, making you feel like you're already in the park. The hotel offers a wealth of free family and children's facilities, including a fun family space. The room layout is well-designed and cozy, immersing you in a technological fantasy world. They provided various complimentary drinks and slippers, which made my child incredibly happy – they didn't want to leave the room! The bed was very comfortable, and the bedding and linens were pristine, giving a sense of peace of mind. The front desk staff were highly professional and exceptionally service-oriented, attentive and caring like family. It was my birthday month, and they even gave me a small gift, which I deeply appreciated! Every other staff member greeted us warmly. The entire hotel staff, from top to bottom, were incredibly enthusiastic, meticulous, and thoughtful, making us feel at home and very warm. It provided the absolute best stay experience. The entire hotel was exceptionally clean, with no hidden corners, and the bathroom was super clean with excellent water pressure for a very comfortable shower. Check-out was simple and quick, with no need to wait for room inspection. WiFi coverage was seamless throughout the hotel. Breakfast was incredibly rich with delicious food, making it a top choice for a family vacation with kids. I'll definitely stay here again next time and highly recommend it to friends.

Perfect for a family trip, this hotel offers a one-stop experience. We chose to stay on a sunny day, which made it even more value for money. There are plenty of outdoor facilities to enjoy. The sandy beach pool is a hit with the kids, and there's even a cute petting zoo where you can feed small animals. The outdoor pool is also great for photos, and the water quality is quite clean. The hotel provides cribs and bed rails, and Bob's service was excellent and responsive. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

I highly recommend the Rezen Select Pudong, 5 out of 5 stars! It's my top choice when visiting Disneyland. The complimentary shuttle bus is punctual and reliable, dropping off and picking up conveniently at the Donald Duck parking lot. The rooms are clean and spacious, with a memory foam mattress that ensures a super comfortable sleep. The bathroom is a wet/dry separation design with plenty of hot water. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the robot delivery service for meals is a nice touch. Breakfast offers a wide variety, and there's even a comforting late-night congee. It's close to Chuansha subway station, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. They also offer shuttle service to Pudong Airport. This hotel offers excellent value for money, especially for families. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit!

This hotel offers incredible value for money! I was surprised to find a pool and hot springs, and the room was quite spacious. While the immediate area isn't super convenient, ordering food delivery was easy, and the robot delivery was quick. The environment is absolutely lovely – surrounded by lush greenery, and the entire complex is very quiet. It was a fantastic staycation. My only minor complaint is that the breakfast could be better, and you have to pay upfront if you want to add it, you can't charge it to your room, which isn't very convenient. Finally, a big thank you to the hotel for the room upgrade, which really helped with accommodating my older child.

I wasn't going to leave a review, but since the guest services team messaged me asking for one, I'll comment on a few things: 1. **View**: As one of Pudong's iconic buildings, the hotel offers excellent views. Being on a high floor, you get great panoramic views of the Bund and other Pudong buildings, especially at night – truly impressive. 2. **Service**: The concierge staff's attitude was generally quite lukewarm with every inquiry. I'm not sure why they seemed so arrogant. From storing luggage initially to borrowing an umbrella, it felt like I owed them something. Perhaps they were overwhelmed by too many guests, but it felt like customers were a constant bother and unwelcome. The front desk staff's service was similar; their attitude felt below the average standard of other high-end hotels we've stayed at. 3. **Cleanliness**: Upon entering the room, the floor wasn't very clean. I'm unsure if it had been properly cleaned. 4. **Hardware**: The overall hardware conditions were good. The elevators were fast, and both hotel and room facilities were comprehensive. 5. **Responsiveness to requests during stay**: * First, we asked for two children's bathrobes. We were told to wait a while for staff to bring them. Twenty minutes passed with no update. When we called again, they said they currently had no spare bathrobes but had forgotten to inform us, leaving us to wait a long time for nothing. * Second, we requested an extra blanket, which was delivered promptly. 6. **Dining**: The buffet on the 56th floor had a relatively rich selection of dishes. However, the service staff (both those at the food stations and those clearing tables) again had generally mediocre attitudes. 7. **Swimming Pool**: The pool isn't large, and the water was a bit cool. There weren't many tourists, so the experience was decent. The changing room's hardware was good, though it felt a bit cold. 8. **Gym**: While not very spacious, the equipment was quite comprehensive. Most of the treadmill screens displayed 'no signal.' 9. **Highlight**: The 86th-floor Jin Mao Club Chinese restaurant was excellent. The food was great; I particularly recommend the Australian crispy veal. What's more, the service staff there had an outstanding attitude. We arrived quite late, around 9 PM, due to closure at 9:15 PM. The waitress quickly offered menu suggestions and waited until we finished our meal, providing very thoughtful service. She even suggested we could turn off the lights to enjoy the night view afterward. It's a shame I don't know her name (the waitress on duty on the evening of August 9th), but I want to commend her; she was the only highlight of our entire stay. 10. **Final thoughts**: It's a bit ironic that the hotel's guest services team added me on WeChat the day before check-in, didn't send any greetings during our stay, but then suddenly messaged me before check-out, offering to draft a positive review for me to post here. So, since you asked for a review, either we don't comment, or we comment truthfully. If the stay experience had truly been great, we would, of course, give a five-star review, but I can't give five stars against my conscience :)

Facilities: There's a children's playground. Disney shuttle service: No need to worry about the return trip. Fixed pick-up/drop-off at Metro Line 18 ”Zhoupu Station”: Very convenient. Late-night noodles: The hotel offers late-night supper, which is super convenient. Cleanliness: The cleaning staff are all very friendly. Environment: Good! 👍 Service: Excellent. Next time I visit Shanghai, I'll definitely stay at this hotel again.

Staying at the Manxin Hotel Jing'an this time truly felt like coming home! Its location right next to the train station is incredibly convenient for travelers; you just walk a few steps with your luggage and you're there. The lobby felt so welcoming, and there's even a bakery on the first floor with delicious treats. The front desk staff, both the guys and girls, were incredibly warm and thoughtful. They even offered to help me with my many suitcases and took them up to my room. I also received a complimentary room upgrade, which I really appreciated. The room itself was not only clean, but the bedding was so soft and cozy. I slept soundly until I woke up naturally, and all my travel fatigue just melted away. My absolute favorite was their buffet breakfast, especially the freshly made wontons – piping hot and so comforting with every bite. Next time I'm in Shanghai, this will definitely be my top choice!
