AAnonymous UserWe chose the Bellagio again this New Year to let my parents and child experience the festive spirit of Chinese New Year in Shanghai.
The hotel was full of New Year cheer, with festive decorations perfectly suiting the occasion. Its sophisticated yet understated style made for fantastic photo opportunities.
The room was spacious and bright, and the bedding was just right—not too soft, not too firm—ensuring a good night's sleep for the whole family. The restaurant was also excellent.
And Penny! She handled our check-in super quickly and always greeted us with a smile every day. She was incredibly prompt in addressing any requests we had, making our stay very comfortable. We'll definitely choose this place again for our next holiday!

GGuest UserTraveling with my parents, I opted for a family suite. The hotel's hygiene and dining facilities were excellent. Check-in was met with a warm welcome, and we were even upgraded to a suite, which also included a complimentary afternoon tea. The suite offered a great view, and the garden restaurant was charming, leaving a very positive impression. This hotel is a good choice for families traveling together.

GGuest UserI recently stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Fengxian, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The hotel strikes a great balance between comfort, service, and modern design.
Rooms:
The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with thoughtful touches. The bed was especially comfortable, and I appreciated the strong water pressure in the shower. Everything felt fresh and well-maintained, contributing to a relaxing environment after a long day.
Service:
The staff was consistently professional and attentive. Check-in and check-out were both smooth, and any requests I made were handled promptly. While not everyone spoke fluent English, they were eager to assist and always did so with a positive attitude.
Dining:
Breakfast offered a good mix of local and Western dishes. I found the variety and quality to be above average for a business hotel. The restaurant staff was courteous and ensured the dining area remained clean and well-stocked throughout service.
Facilities:
The gym and public areas were clean and modern. I didn’t get a chance to use the meeting rooms, but they looked well-equipped. The hotel also had a calm, business-friendly atmosphere that made it ideal for both work and rest.
Location:
Situated in Fengxian, it’s a bit outside central Shanghai, but perfect if you have business in the area. It’s relatively easy to access via Didi or taxi. The nearby surroundings are quiet and safe, with a few local restaurants and convenience stores in walking distance.
Overall:
A solid choice for both business and leisure travelers seeking comfort and consistency in Fengxian. I would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to others looking for a dependable Marriott experience outside the city center.

GGuest UserFirst off, let's talk about the location. It's right in the city center, making it super convenient to get to all the attractions. Yu Garden is just one subway stop away, and Jing'an Temple is two stops. Taxis are also very affordable, costing around ten-odd yuan to get almost anywhere. Of course, walking or biking can be fun too; for example, on the way to the Bund, passing by Fuzhou Road, I was pleasantly surprised to discover classic eateries like Lao Zheng Xing and Wang Bao He, and the sculptures on the foreign language bookstore's facade were truly unique!
Then there's the hotel building itself, which has such a rich sense of history. Especially the staircase on the first floor – it must be original, with its delicate carvings and natural wear. Every time I went up and down, it felt like I was traveling back to the 1930s...
The room was incredibly quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep.
Dining is also very convenient. Although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant, there are places like Xiao Jinling and Xiao Shaoxing in the small street behind it, offering delicious and reasonably priced food. I stayed for several days and still couldn't get enough. If you prefer bolder flavors, there are also spicy crayfish, Ma Du, and Liu Dongliang Food Stall nearby.
I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Shanghai.

AAnonymous UserPros:
1. Upon arrival on check-in day, a doorman helped open the car door and took our luggage, escorting us to the front desk. Our bags were then delivered directly to the room by staff.
2. The hotel staff's service attitude was excellent, and the front desk handled everything professionally.
3. We booked a river-view king room and paid extra to upgrade to a Bund panoramic view king room (not sure if that's the exact name). I have to say, the view was absolutely stunning – exactly what everyone hopes for! You could see the Oriental Pearl Tower, the 'Three-piece Suit' (referring to the three tallest skyscrapers), the Huangpu River, and the entire Bund, all unobstructed.
4. The hotel boasts an excellent location, right next to Binjiang Park, perfect for a leisurely stroll anytime. The surrounding area has complete commercial amenities, offering plenty of options for dining, entertainment, and shopping. The hotel itself is a quiet oasis in a bustling area, perfectly aligning with Banyan Tree's resort positioning.
5. The room facilities were premium, and amenities were comprehensive: a circular bathtub, a double-basin vanity in the bathroom, a smart toilet, and a shower with three types of nozzles and excellent water pressure.
6. The room received complimentary bottled water and a small beverage daily. You can definitely cut down on ordering outside drinks when staying here; the in-room supply is enough.
7. The first round of soft drinks in the mini-bar was complimentary upon check-in.
8. Any issues we reported via phone were handled swiftly by the hotel.
9. The best perk during our stay was the breakfast, served from 7 AM until *12 PM*! Being able to sleep in and essentially save on lunch was fantastic.
10. The hotel's cleaning staff was prompt and even asked for our preferred cleaning time, which was very thoughtful.
11. On check-out day, I wasn't quite ready to leave and wanted to extend our check-out time. The front desk was busy with another guest's call and I couldn't reach them immediately. Afterwards, Ms. Minnie, the hotel's room division staff, promptly called me back and arranged for a late check-out until 1 PM. Her professionalism and quick response were commendable.
Cons:
1. For a luxury hotel with this location and view, don't expect free room upgrades. Upgrades come with an extra charge, and having such an expectation can lead to a slight disappointment.
2. The hotel's check-in time is strictly 3 PM. If you arrive early, you'll either have to wait or go out to explore.
3. The room wasn't soundproof. I noticed a gap under the room door, and a noticeable space between the door and its frame. No wonder you could hear every little sound from the hallway, and conversely, anything happening in the room was audible from the corridor. This compromises privacy a bit, making it less suitable for couples or those (like me) who enjoy listening to music with speakers in the room, as it might disturb others.
4. Food delivery is a common issue and a typical drawback of older luxury hotels: deliveries aren't allowed directly to the room; guests have to go down to pick them up themselves. There are no smart robots for delivery.
5. Other snacks in the mini-bar are not complimentary. Given the price point of the rooms, the hotel could be a bit more generous.
6. The breakfast selection was quite limited, comparable to a buffet breakfast you'd find in a hotel costing around 100 RMB. For example, a few years ago, I stayed at the Grand Hyatt by the river in Changsha, Hunan, where the breakfast offered Chinese, Western, Japanese, and Korean options, plus seafood and sashimi – I could spend over an hour enjoying breakfast there. For the price point of the Banyan Tree on the Bund, this level of breakfast is genuinely a bit disappointing and should be upgraded.

CcessiegurlwunderThis is a beautiful boutique hotel that has the art deco charm on the interior and lovely balcony design on the exterior.
The room size is huge. Even though mine was on level 3 and the view was an indoor view, it was still nice to have natural light stream in during day time.
Bath tub is massive but on the high side for short people to climb in and out, also feels not appropriate for elderly who may not be so mobile to get in and out of the bath tub.
Room is kept clean by a friendly service staff on level 3. Also concierge service is excellent as I have deliveries that are collected by them, and they helped to bring my suitcase(s) to the room during check in and to the lobby during check out.
There is a gym in site which I did not use but looks well equipped.
Location is excellent as close to shopping area and yet not noisy. Opposite is the Metro station exit number 14 to easily catch a metro to go around Shanghai.
I enjoyed staying here for my 6 nights in Shanghai.

GGuest UserDuring my recent stay at Chateau Star River Hotel, I found the facilities to be excellent and the interior decor tastefully designed, creating a luxurious and elegant atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, contributing to an overall pleasant physical environment.
However, the service quality did not match the standard expected from such a well-appointed hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk staff mistakenly assigned me a children’s room, which required me to return to reception and resolve the issue—a rather inconvenient start to my stay.
While the room I was eventually given was comfortable and spacious, cleanliness left much to be desired. The bathtub, in particular, had two dead flies and a hardened stain on its surface, which was quite disappointing.
I did encounter staff members who demonstrated professionalism—for example, the gentleman managing the breakfast check-in was courteous and efficient. Nonetheless, such instances were the exception rather than the rule.
On one occasion, I decided to book a massage at the hotel spa to relieve some back pain. The treatment, which cost approximately $50, was average and initially unproblematic. Unfortunately, at the end of the session, the masseuse offered me an additional service, the nature of which I will refrain from describing here, but I trust it is not difficult to imagine. I declined immediately. Regardless of the hotel's level of control over this matter, given that the spa operates within the premises, I found this situation deeply inappropriate and upsetting.

GGuest UserWe brought the kids to Shanghai for Chinese New Year, and the Regent Pudong turned out to be the most impressive part of our trip. On our first day, we wanted an extra bed, but were told they were all gone. We went to our room a bit worried, but then we realized that by pushing the two sofas together, we could make a really big bed. Just adding a sheet made it a perfect solution for the lack of beds. The room's view was absolutely unbeatable; we could even get our 'Shanghai Trio' (financial center skyscrapers) and Oriental Pearl Tower photos done right from our room! The only minor drawback was that breakfast was a bit simple and didn't quite live up to the price point. However, the overall stay was great, and the soundproofing at night was excellent. The kids are already saying they want to stay here again next time we're in Shanghai.

GGuest UserTraveling with family during the Spring Festival, I booked the Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Wujiaochang. The hotel's location is excellent, with convenient transportation and close proximity to the subway. As one child exceeded the height limit, Ms. Wei at the front desk kindly provided us with a complimentary breakfast upon check-in. We're very grateful for her help!

GGuest UserThe hotel facilities are complete and the hygiene is excellent. The room is also quite spacious, and you can see the river view and the Oriental Pearl Tower from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The air conditioning in the room is relatively quiet, just right. There's also a shower and cotton slippers. The room is very clean. Most importantly, the bed mattress is super comfortable to sleep on and really helps relieve fatigue.
