Maixinge Boutique Hotel ( Shanghai Lujiazui)

Our original check-in time was 3:00 PM, but we arrived around 7:30 AM. We were just planning to drop off our luggage and head out, but to our surprise, the friendly staff at the front desk immediately asked his colleague if any rooms were ready. He also asked if we had eaten breakfast and promptly arranged for us to go to the buffet. The breakfast spread was incredibly diverse. By the time we finished eating and came back, the front desk attendant had already completed our check-in. This is my first time traveling where I've been able to check in half a day early, and even get a complimentary breakfast before checking in – I was so touched! And for such a great price, with breakfast included, it's really incredible value for money, especially in a city like Shanghai.

The service was excellent. They even brought our takeout delivery right to our room. There's a convenient store nearby, and the subway station is just across the street, a little to the left!

Welcome amenities on the first day: The fruit and snacks were pretty good. Cleanliness: Very clean, excellent. Environment: Not bad. Service: Very good and attentive, there's even a self-service coffee machine in the lobby. Facilities: Decent.
