ZHotel The Somekh Building Reviews

I had an amazing three-day stay at ZHotel. It's a perfect place for travelers who want to stay in a heritage building near the Bund. The staff are very kind and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable. Additionally, it's easy to travel to other areas by either uber or public transit.

A great place location for photographs whether in the hotel or right on the road outside. 5mins walk from the Bund!

We had an amazing stay in the Z hotel! First of all it’s really great location. Most of the attractions so closed! The Bund, Nanjing street, most of the art galleries and museums. The beautiful charm of the old Shanghai is everywhere in this location. Facilities great. Staff is very helpful and nice. Good breakfast, not so big choice but it’s quite enough: fruits, snack, meat, eggs, ect. Strongly recommend it. It has a root top bar with the great view, to the pudong towers. And on the first floor nice Chinese bistro. Looking forward to come back again.

Great location near The Bund. I appreciated supportive and kind team during my check-in and out. Special thank you the staff who sit 1st floor entrance on 28th Mar around 13:20 helping me to book the car for me after knowing I can’t find a taxi for my urgent meeting. Please award this guy, highly recommend ZHotel!

Something old something new. I loved staying at this hotel...feels like going back in time. The decor is beautiful, the rooftop bar is nice, the rooms are small but comfortable, with a beautiful view if you've booked a room with a terrace. It's location is so convenient, it's close to The Bund, restaurants and shops. I had a great stay at ZHotel.

Great stylish 4-Star-Hotel - Breakfast is very tasty especially also for western guests - the rooms have a unique design and lot’s of wonderful ideas in small space. The location is near Nanjing East Road and Metro station.

A good hotel located in the center of Shanghai. The price is fully complied with the provided services. We enjoyed breakfasts in this hotel and beautiful views in the evening.

The hotel is located in a historic building. It only have few floors and the reception counter is at second floor. The location is near to the Bund. There is smart control in the room. Although the room is not very big, but filled with all required amenities. They put the things in hidden closet so it was like treasure hunt to me. The cons are the Wifi, super hard to connect and not able to connect to laptop. If you wish to connect to phone, only one device is allowed and need to go through tough authentication. Not good for business traveler like me when need to have meeting. The other thing is there is no stopping place for car at the building. If you call for taxi, they have to stop at the roadside which only can stop for a while.

Room is clean and the view is good. Service is good too. Just that the view happened to be facing the construction site which is not within the hotel’s control. Otherwise, everything is good :)

Nice location and unique design. Room slightly have a smell perhaps from the concrete wall. However overall really nice experience. Best customer service and reception service ever! Very friendly smart and kind staffs.

When booking the hotel, the room with a balcony was all sold. I was thinking I could upgrade to the balcony room when I check-in. In the end, it doesn’t work. But the room with no balcony still surprises me. The notes in the room said it would be noisy in the morning because of the work on the roof. However, I can’t hear any noise. The room is cosy and clean. Honestly, I think Zhotel is the best in this area with such low prices, and the staff are super helpful. You could see a lot of beautiful young ladies walking around the hotel to take pictures.

The hotel is in a perfect location and the staff are very friendly, although a little unprofessional. The rooms are smaller than advertised and the amenities are lacking. The breakfast and restaurant on site’s food is amazing. Great place to spend a day or two, but not ideal for a long stay. I would recommend this hotel for couples as it is very cozy the views from some of the rooms and roof are exquisite.

Building itself is an art. We didn’t have much time to really explore it but the experience was a good one. Room is small as expected so it didn’t bother us. The window to the outside is great, although it’s a tiniest one. Overall experience it good.

Everything’s was alright. However my room was very poorly cleaned when I checked in there was plenty of hair in the shower and room that certainly wasn’t mine and in general it wasn’t cleaned well.
