The room was very spacious and clean. The Western breakfast was high quality, especially the egg tarts and cheese sandwiches which were particularly delicious. There's a dumpling shop downstairs that's affordable and tasty. We traveled during the National Day holiday, so there were lots of people, but the hotel is right on a pedestrian street, making it very convenient for exploring the surrounding area.

The hotel's location is excellent; it's a quick walk or bike ride to the pedestrian street and the Bund. I arrived at noon, and the hotel hadn't reserved the newly renovated room type as requested in my booking notes. After my persistence and the front desk staff's proactive coordination, I was successfully checked into a newly renovated room type that afternoon and even upgraded to a suite. I could also see the Oriental Pearl Tower and the 'three-piece suit' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers). Thumbs up! 👍👍👍 The concierge, housekeeping, and front desk services were all excellent too! 👍👍👍

We had a fantastic stay and were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, always even greeting us at the door, opening doors and checking cars for belongings left behind after long shopping trips. The hotel has a beautiful, luxurious atmosphere, with excellent facilities including a very well-equipped gym and separate men’s and women’s sauna and steam rooms as well as a pool and hot tub. There is also an onsite spa opened till 2am! The ‘This Works’ bathroom toiletries in the rooms were a lovely touch and smelled wonderful. Breakfast was outstanding, with an impressive selection and freshly prepared omelettes, steamed buns and pancakes. The English-speaking staff were also incredibly helpful throughout our stay and provided great recommendations of places to see and where to eat close by. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Nanjing Road and the Bund. Overall, a beautifully presented hotel with genuinely excellent service — we would happily stay here again and am glad we chose to stay here as there are an overwhelming amount of choices available but we feel we made a great choice!

It felt like stepping back into the 1930s. All the facilities, though vintage, were fully functional. My room was near the elevator, but a screen cleverly shielded the entrance, so it wasn't directly facing it. The elevators were fast and plentiful, preventing any congestion during peak hours. The room was well-stocked with amenities, and I appreciated all the thoughtful little details. Breakfast was incredibly generous; I especially loved the Japanese breakfast with soba, sushi, and onsen eggs, though there were plenty of other options too. The rooftop cafe offered a panoramic view of the garden, but unfortunately, I missed out on the afternoon tea set that day, which was a real shame. The food in the banquet hall was also incredibly rich and varied. It really feels like you get to enjoy good food in these kind of old-money hotels.

I stayed at the Pullman Jing'an for a business trip, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. The hotel boasts a prime location right in the Jing'an Temple commercial district, with the subway station just steps away. Getting to West Nanjing Road or Hongqiao is very convenient, and there is an abundance of dining options in the surrounding area. The lobby has a modern and grand design, and check-in was very efficient. The room offered an expansive view, and the bedding was exceptionally comfortable—a lifesaver for overcoming jet lag or recovering from intense work. The breakfast spread was extensive, featuring both Western pastries and a live noodle station for fresh Chinese noodles, making it a perfect start to the day. This will definitely be my top choice for my next trip to Shanghai!

Located right on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the hotel is housed in a century-old historic building with a classic Old Shanghai vibe. Despite the bustling crowds during the National Day holiday, the hotel offers a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. The environment and service are both top-notch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Conrad Shanghai! Our stay at Conrad Shanghai was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything exceeded our expectations. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Shanghai, with easy access to the city’s best attractions, shopping areas, and restaurants. The cleanliness was impeccable, the rooms were beautifully maintained, and every detail reflected the highest standards of five-star luxury. What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the outstanding hospitality and professionalism of the entire staff. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our experience special. 🌟 A Very Special Thank You to Molly! 🌟 Molly deserves exceptional recognition for her extraordinary kindness, dedication, and professionalism. She went above and beyond in every possible way, sparing no effort to ensure that our stay in Shanghai was as comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable as possible. Her genuine care, warm personality, and willingness to help with absolutely everything made us feel not just like hotel guests, but truly valued and welcomed. Molly is a remarkable asset to Conrad Shanghai and a shining example of what world-class hospitality should be. People like her are the reason guests fall in love with a hotel and look forward to returning. A huge thank you to Molly and the entire Conrad Shanghai team for making our visit to this beautiful city such a wonderful experience. Without hesitation, one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We will definitely be back!

You can't beat the location – right in the heart of Nanjing West Road, bustling outside, yet quiet inside. The hotel is all-suite, with the smallest room being 62 square meters, offering separate living and sleeping areas, so space is definitely generous. Each suite comes with a kitchen (induction hob, microwave, etc.) and a washer-dry dryer, which is incredibly practical for long stays or dealing with the rainy season. The hotel's design has an old Shanghai charm, but it's not overly fussy; the Art Deco details are very appealing. Rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant is pleasant. There are reliable dining options nearby, and it's convenient for business meetings. The gym is outsourced to a chain brand, so the equipment is better than typical hotel gyms; there's also a pool for a relaxing dip. The terrace offers expansive views, perfect for an evening drink. Overall, the facilities are practical and impressive. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai.

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.73km dari pusat bandar
The hotel's location is extremely convenient, within easy walking distance of both Yuyuan Garden and the Bund. The overall environment and ambiance are great, and I personally really liked the signature scent used in the hotel. However, the service attitude definitely leaves much to be desired. We arrived with quite a lot of luggage, and the traffic outside the entrance was quite heavy. Despite seeing us get out of the car, the staff made no effort to come forward and help. We arrived at the hotel at 3:50 PM to check in, but our room was still not ready. Instead of explaining the situation clearly right from the start, the front desk kept pushing us to pay extra to upgrade our room type. We had originally booked a family room; although it didn't have a window, we felt it was sufficient for our needs and declined the extra charge. Even after we turned down the upgrade, the front desk still insisted they would arrange an upgrade for us, only to backtrack later and admit that our originally booked room wasn't ready yet. This style of communication was confusing and felt rather dishonest. What was even more baffling was that guests at the adjacent counter were experiencing the exact same issue with their room not being ready, yet the hotel compensated them with two days of free breakfast—while we were offered no such arrangement. This made us feel disappointed with how the hotel handles check-in issues. In addition, when we asked the front desk for assistance with booking a service in the evening, the staff member was unwilling to help. There were no other guests waiting at the front desk at the time, yet they still refused to assist. Overall, the staff lacked smiles, and their service attitude was far from proactive or welcoming. To sum up, the hotel is satisfactory in terms of its location, environment, ambiance, and scent, but its basic service and hospitality clearly need significant improvement. I hope the management can strengthen staff training, improve check-in arrangements, and respond to guests' needs with a more positive and sincere attitude. While a prime location is certainly an advantage, good service is equally crucial to ensuring a great stay.

The Westin Bund Center is a five-star hotel with an excellent location. It's within walking distance of Yuyuan Garden Metro Station, Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Bund waterfront promenade, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is adjacent to the Bund Center, whose lotus-shaped roof acts like a crown for the hotel, giving it a grand and recognizable exterior. The lobby atrium is a design highlight, featuring a 26-meter-high glass ceiling and a glass 'sky escalator' connecting the first to fourth floors, seamlessly integrating natural light – it's absolutely beautiful. The Lobby Lounge, located in the atrium, is surrounded by palm trees and flowing water, evoking a Southeast Asian vibe. It subtly encourages visitors to pause, enjoy the scenery, chat, and sip tea – truly a delightful way to live. While the guest rooms aren't huge, their overall layout is well-planned and facilities are comprehensive. The Heavenly Bed is truly captivating; the soft, delicate, clean, and skin-friendly bedding enhances a deeply immersive dream. Three floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic city views – the more you stay, the more you'll love it! The Stage restaurant offers a bountiful buffet breakfast, with both Chinese and Western options. The omelets are shaped like egg dumplings and taste great, the croissants are quite good, the tofu pudding is delicious, and the latte coffee is also pleasant. We didn't get to try the Chinese restaurant as it was hosting a wedding banquet. The hotel also has a full range of fitness equipment and an indoor heated swimming pool. It's a truly joyful experience to relax and unwind here.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. I booked an executive twin room with my child. The room was clean, and its location right in the heart of Jing'an Temple makes dining and taking the subway incredibly convenient. I first booked it because of its proximity to Eileen Chang's former residence, Changde Apartment, and I booked it again because of its excellent location and service. My child particularly loves the hot spring pool here. We also ate several meals at CP Jing'an this time, which was very convenient. However, you need to watch the time when taking a taxi. I noticed during this trip to Shanghai that Jing'an Temple is really congested. Getting to the hotel was a constant jam, and the ride to the airport was also quite slow. The hotel breakfast is excellent! There's a wide variety, and I always eat too much. Check-out time is also very flexible; my flight was at 4 PM, and the front desk staff kindly extended our check-out to 1:30 PM, which was fantastic service.

The secret was that having two rooms and a living room for a family of four gave us a total of three bathrooms, making it super convenient for everyone. The breakfast was lavish with fresh ingredients, and the front desk manager was very nice. In the evening, the jazz bar played nostalgic classics and tunes, which is perfect for middle-aged and older guests to reminisce about the past. There were quite a few foreign guests around as well. I heard it’s closing for renovation next year, and we probably won't be back until around 2029. Plus, the management company will be upgrading from Fairmont to Raffles. For those with a soft spot for old Shanghai, I recommend coming to experience it as soon as possible!

Best of all, the hotel service is simply amazing! WALLE WANG, the young lady who helped us with the check-in process, was so lovely. Seeing that we were traveling with a toddler under three, she went out of her way to help us upgrade to a river-view suite. This was a wonderful surprise for our family of three visiting Shanghai for the very first time! The suite is spacious, and our little one was thrilled to run around.

Staying at The Anandi Hotel in Shanghai | A Healing Hotel Experience Before heading back to Beijing, I chose this healing hotel for a few days of rest in Shanghai. Here's my experience: Facilities and Activities 🏊🏻♂️: 1. Guests can use the hot spring, which wasn't crowded and wasn't very large. There are two public pools, one in the hot spring area and another on the 11th floor of the hotel. The gym is also small. There are free healing activities every day, with more options on weekends, including children's craft experiences 👍🏻. 2. The kids' club is on the second floor of the hot spring area, but children cannot be left unattended; parents must supervise them. I suggest they change this – if parents are constantly watching their kids, how can they have time to spend money? 😓 Environment 🌲: As a healing hotel, you essentially stay within the hotel. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area 😂. Dining 🍜: The breakfast at the Mystic restaurant is quite healthy. The executive lounge offers afternoon tea and light dinner. Yue Restaurant and Yuan Yan are actually the same restaurant. Dining taste ranking ➡️ Yuan Yan > Mystic restaurant > Executive Lounge. Service: Most of the staff provide excellent service. On weekends, due to more guests, the service quality can slightly dip 😝. In summary, the service at this hotel is very good, but the overall facilities are not large. If you're looking for a two or three-day healing stay, I highly recommend it 😜 (Special shout-out to Darcy for the excellent service!).

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|21.83km dari pusat bandar
This is a Japanese-style ryokan where rooms are spread across individual two-story buildings, offering a relatively private and quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, and each comes with its own independent entrance. The hotel provides a shuttle bus that takes about 5 minutes to reach Disneyland, and morning and evening transfers can be reserved. In the morning, you generally only need to wait about 10 minutes to board the 7-seater van. For the evening, booking two hours in advance is usually sufficient to get on the bus on time, and the driver will also call to coordinate. The drop-off and pick-up point is located right next to the Disneyland metro and bus lines, and it takes about a 10-minute walk to get to Disneyland. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Especially considering that most surrounding hotels cost over 1,000 RMB (4 digits), we managed to snag a special rate under 1,000 RMB, making it very good value for money.

I first saw 御宿和庭 (Yushuku Watani) recommended on Dianping, and my stay there truly was a five-star experience. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center, and it boasts a beautiful garden landscape. The front desk service and hotel activities are exceptionally thoughtful, with various engaging small activities like handicrafts and sound healing meditation sessions. The hotel doesn't cut corners; the private hot spring tubs are very spacious, and you can even choose different types of springs. The mini-fridge is restocked daily with three soft drinks, and the hair dryer is a Laifen, which works incredibly well. Yukata are also provided, and the bedding is unbelievably comfortable – once you lie down, you simply can't bear to get up. The hotel's breakfast and lunch are also noteworthy. All in all, these two days have been one of the best, if not *the* best, hotel stays I've had in Shanghai.

Pros: 1. The location is excellent. It's only about two or three kilometers by taxi to places like the Bund. The hotel is right next to Xintiandi, which is a very trendy and fashionable district, perfect for young people. 2. The rooms are spacious, and the decor doesn't look old-fashioned. Cons: Our group of three booked two rooms for three nights each, and our total room expense over these three days was over 8,000 RMB. One morning, I woke up early and asked if the hotel could offer a complimentary single breakfast for just me. The hotel refused, stating that breakfast costs 200 RMB per person. I've stayed in many five-star hotels in various places, and this is the only one that was so adamant about not providing a complimentary breakfast. If we had only stayed for one night, I might have understood, but I found their refusal quite surprising. Also, the hotel has live band performances in the evening. I asked a server if I could sit down and listen, but the server said it was a consumption area and I couldn't sit without making a purchase. I wonder why the hotel's dining area occupies such a large public space in the lobby, yet hotel guests aren't allowed to sit and enjoy the music. I hope the hotel can address this in the future.

Staying at The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai once again reminded me of what it means to be the 'benchmark of Ritz-Carlton excellence.' While the building itself shows signs of age, it's precisely this history that lends it a sophisticated, old-money elegance. The location is absolutely impeccable, making it incredibly convenient to get around, and the surrounding dining options are so abundant, it's hard to choose! I especially want to thank the Grace team for their incredibly warm service. Every detail truly embodied the Ritz-Carlton's hospitality philosophy – it felt both genuinely warm and incredibly refined. With the Shanghai Rolex Masters happening, the hotel was particularly lively. It just goes to show that even an 'old Ferrari' (referring to the classic Ritz-Carlton brand) still attracts so many guests. And that lion statue was just too enthusiastic; it's become a网红 hotspot for photos, with everyone wanting to snap a picture with it as they pass by. Next time I'm in Shanghai, I won't hesitate to choose this hotel again.

Location: The hotel boasts an exceptional location, situated in the Jin Mao Tower, one of the 'Lujiazui Trio,' right next to the Shanghai Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center. The hotel's design seamlessly blends Eastern aesthetics with Western architectural beauty, exuding both old-money charm and luxurious style. All hotel staff are also bilingual in Chinese and English. Experience: Our entire stay was fantastic. Since it was my birthday, Mia from Guest Services specially arranged a room upgrade for us. From the room, we could see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Bund, and even the Magnolia Plaza across the river in North Bund. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the light show from here during the National Day holiday. Mia and her colleagues also prepared a Tiramisu birthday cake and flowers for me, for which I am truly grateful. Pool and Spa facilities: The indoor swimming pool's water quality was exceptionally clear, easily ranking among the top three of all the hotels I've visited. The sauna and cold plunge bath I experienced afterward were also excellent. The only area for improvement is that there was no discount for in-house guests at the hotel's buffet lunch. Even so, we will still choose to stay at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai on our next visit to Shanghai. Mia's professionalism and hospitality deserve commendation from the hotel and serve as an example for other service staff. Many thanks to the Grand Hyatt Shanghai 🙏🏻

The room was more spacious than it appeared in the photos. The executive room's grey-blue wallpaper, which isn't present in the standard rooms, matched the carpet color better. I stayed in an east-facing room, which offered a clear view of the Lujiazui 'three-piece suit' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers), and the actual view was even more impressive than in pictures. The breakfast at the executive lounge was excellent; both the buffet items and the made-to-order dishes were delicious. The afternoon tea selection was quite ordinary. A minor drawback was the absence of lunch service. The lobby on the first floor of the Jing An branch was a bit dark, and there were many people passing through from the mall. For executive floor guests, I recommend checking in directly at the lounge.

I’m writing this detailed review as requested by Ctrip for a hotel assessment. I received a call beforehand and was given a room at 11:00 AM, upgraded to a higher floor, and there weren't many guests. After comparing many hotels, Kempinski offered the best value for money. Its location is quiet yet central, perfect for my two-night stay. Pros: 1. Excellent location, very close to the ferry. It's next to the Mandarin Oriental, and once you pass the Ocean Aquarium, there are no more crowded tourists, making it a peaceful oasis in a busy area. It's a 10-minute walk to Metro Line 2, a 6-minute bus ride on 939, a 3-minute walk to the ferry terminal, and a 3-minute walk to the riverside park. Xi Jia De dumplings and McDonald's are nearby. 2. River view room (Type 16). You get a partial river view overlooking North Bund and Yangpu Bridge, offering a wide, open panorama. This river view room is truly impressive, with large floor-to-ceiling windows. I'm not sure if city view rooms, if you're lucky, offer views of the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Bund on that side, but I assume some room types do. 3. The bathroom facilities are very well-equipped. The shower even has multiple massage jets. I'm not sure if the bathroom mirror is heated, but it always felt like there was a warm breeze. There are double sinks and a separate wet and dry area. It was much better maintained than I expected. 4. The wardrobe had a lint roller, the slippers were of good quality, and the sewing kit was comfortable to use. Plenty of drinking water was provided. 5. The swimming pool and gym were sufficient, with great views and not too many people. All equipment was well-maintained; definitely try the elliptical machine. Breakfast was decent; children are strictly charged. It was standard, with some foreigners, but a bit less impressive than Marriott properties; they don't specifically ask if you'd like coffee or hot tea. Areas for improvement: 1. The carpet had a strange smell. It was unbearable upon entering, but after a while, I got used to it. 2. The Executive Lounge wasn't comparable to Marriott's. 3. The service attitude was mediocre. Perhaps this is just how it is in Shanghai, or maybe our expectations from the South are higher? Hiding the coffee cup behind the kettle was also quite odd. They gave my brother a gift bag, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, for a family trip with a limited budget, it offers great value for money and is worth recommending. Book a river view room and make sure to visit the gym and pool on the 30th floor. Take the ferry across the river for 2 yuan – definitely make the most of your stay!

This stay at the Sofitel Jian Guo Men left me with a great overall impression. Before arriving, I communicated with the duty manager, Eli, letting him know it was our first stay and that it coincided with our anniversary. Upon check-in, he immediately upgraded us to an Executive Floor room and had it specially decorated. The attention to detail was exceptional, and we were incredibly impressed from the moment we arrived. The first impression upon entering was excellent. The lobby had incredibly high ceilings and a grand, bright decor, completely avoiding the oppressive feeling you sometimes get in older hotels. The layout of the Executive Room was also quite interesting; it wasn't just a generic square box. The space was well-utilized, making it feel much more spacious than I had imagined. The service overall was hassle-free. Whether it was dealing with the front desk or requesting room service, any issues were addressed very quickly, with no need for back-and-forth. In the evening, I specifically went to the bar on the basement level. The bartender, Pamper, was very amiable. She asked about my preferred tastes, and the cocktails she made were perfectly to my liking. Overall, it's a hotel with excellent value for money and well worth staying at.

Absolutely perfect stay in the northeast corner of Beijing and I do believe we will come back to stay here next time. The attendants at the front desk were incredibly helpful, especially the one guy who helped me order on dianping and put together a porridge the Beijing way. The gym was the best I've ever seen in a hotel. Stacked with equipment for strength training with a separate room for martial arts training.

This is my second time staying here. The biggest advantage is definitely the location. It's only one subway station away from Beijing Railway Station, and also just one stop from Tiananmen Square. It is truly so convenient. Breakfast: There are a few issues. First, the steamed buns are not placed according to the food labels, which causes quite a bit of trouble for vegetarians and guests with halal dietary requirements. Second, the ice cream container was empty. Third, spicy foods are not clearly labeled with warnings. Fourth, there are no small spoons provided in the yogurt section. Room facilities: The lighting is dim, and the setup on the second floor of the suite is too basic—there isn't even a small side table to put things on. There are fewer seats in the lobby waiting area compared to last time. Value for money: The first time was great value, but the second time I booked in a hurry, so...

The hotel is incredibly well-located right in the center of Beijing, within walking distance of the main attractions, making our sightseeing trips exceptionally convenient and easy.A special highlight was the lounge on the 19th floor where the club dinners are held. Dining with a glass of wine while enjoying the breathtaking, majestic view of the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park is an unparalleled pleasure! The atmosphere there is truly magical.However, the most valuable and outstanding feature of this hotel is how they treat their guests. We experienced not just a high standard of service, but genuine love, warmth, and true, deep hospitality that is so rare to find these days.We arrived at the hotel very early — at 8:00 AM, exhausted from our journey, and were mentally prepared to wait hours for check-in. To our amazement, we were not only greeted with a smile, but were given a room immediately, saving us from tedious waiting!I would like to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude to Mike Wong and Hanson Wang. They took incredible care of our family. Mike personally showed us two excellent rooms to choose from, helping us patiently and politely. The room we fell in love with on the 17th floor was instantly handed over to us.It is because of such dedicated, caring, and professional employees like Mike Wong and Hanson Wang that the brand builds its flawless positive image, making guests want to return over and over again. I highly recommend that the hotel management recognizes both Mike's and Hanson's outstanding dedication and awards them a well-deserved bonus or promotion. They are a true asset to your team!Thank you so much for an impeccable welcome. We will definitely be back and recommend this amazing hotel with all our hearts!

The gym service was terrible.

When I tried to get his attention, he ignored me. This person also ignored guests at the front desk when checking in and out, not even greeting them. When I returned my wristband, he just kept his head down doing his own thing. It was a lady next to him who, seeing his lack of response, rather awkwardly took the wristband from me. Regular training should resolve this issue. Otherwise, it's a hotel with great value for money. The front desk staff was fantastic, patiently explaining various issues and even upgraded my room.

At breakfast, the cups still had leftover dirt and weren't washed clean, and many plates were put out for guests to use while still wet. Plus, the dining area was freezing. As for the dinner buffet, the crab was served in a very ”stingy” way. I'd suggest either setting a quota of one crab per person at the table, or simply taking it off the menu altogether. Only at most four people could grab some each time, while the rest of the guests couldn't even catch a glimpse of it. On top of that, it was only replenished almost once an hour.

It's a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle, and the hotel's decor and maintenance are quite good. Our butler, Bella, was incredibly meticulous and thoughtful, taking care of every little detail. She met all our needs, making our stay exceptionally comfortable. 2. There's a wide array of facilities and activities, including a mountainside hot spring, indoor pool, Hatha yoga, singing bowl therapy, a gym, and a kids' club. It's perfect for families, and the kids' club is large and newly renovated – it just reopened in May. It's definitely more fun than the kids' clubs at other hotels I've visited. Plus, children aged 4 and up can be supervised for free, which made my little one super happy! 3. The room key card came with a park map, showing hiking trails. There's an easy 5-kilometer mountain boardwalk, perfect for families, where you can visit the Eight Planets viewing platforms. 4. The breakfast was impressive! They had steaks, lamb chops, and a rich variety of both Chinese and Western dishes. However, the cured meats were generally a bit too salty. Cons: 1. For a 5-star hotel, there was no safe in the room. 2. While there's an abundance of kids' activities, most of them come with a fee. 3. Since the kids' club was newly renovated, the smell was quite strong, making my eyes and throat uncomfortable. Overall, we were still very satisfied. I imagine it would be even more atmospheric to visit in winter for the hot springs, though I expect it would be extremely crowded.

There are a few areas I think could be improved: * The breakfast could be a bit more varied. * The cakes and desserts at LongRitz for dinner were a bit underwhelming. They tasted like they'd been defrosted for a long time, were very watery, and lacked flavor. * It would be great if the children's pool could be expanded a bit.

The hotel offers great value for money, the buffet is worth the price, and the staff training is top-notch.

The hotel's design and materials are from the 1990s, but it still feels very luxurious. The service across all departments was exceptional. This time, I traveled to Beijing with my 80-year-old parents. Given their advanced age—and the fact that my mother has limited mobility and uses a wheelchair—the Executive Suite was ideal. It’s quite spacious, making it easy for the wheelchair to maneuver. We requested a plastic shower chair in advance for my mother, and it was provided as requested. The room is equipped with a washing machine, microwave, refrigerator, and other amenities. When traveling with elderly family members, having these facilities is incredibly convenient; clothes can be washed immediately if they get soiled. The hotel is expansive, and navigating the hallways and elevators with a wheelchair was no problem at all. Breakfast is available at either the 2nd-floor or 17th-floor restaurant. The reception at the 2nd-floor restaurant wasn't very welcoming; without really checking, they simply told us there were no tables available before we were even seated. It was the same story the next day, but when we walked in to check ourselves, there were actually empty tables. While the 2nd-floor restaurant offers a wider variety of food, the service falls short compared to the 17th floor. Seeing the Sous Chef, Jerry Wang, greet us with a big, bright smile and a cheery 'Good Morning 😄' just makes you want to smile right back at them 😆. The room was very clean. The housekeeping staff timed the daily room cleaning to match our outings. Whenever we needed extra supplies, calling guest services resulted in a prompt delivery. As a suggestion for improvement, the entrance/exit leading to the B2 level of Beijing Oriental Plaza could really use a wheelchair ramp, or at least handrails on both sides of the stairs. That entrance leads directly to Wangfujing Street, which is extremely convenient, but unfortunately inaccessible for wheelchair users. Overall, we had a fantastic stay experience 👍🏻

My family and I chose Jen Hotel for a quick getaway during the November holiday. This is one of the most value-for-money hotels I've ever stayed in. This time, I booked a room with executive lounge access, which included breakfast, in-room breakfast delivery, and a two-person dinner at Sanwu Tang in the evening. We had a smooth check-in around 5 PM. The front desk staff asked us which direction we preferred for our room, and we chose one facing the 'Big Trousers' building (CCTV Headquarters). During check-in, the front desk also helped us book a dinner reservation at Sanwu Tang. After dropping off our luggage, we headed straight for dinner. Sanwu Tang is a buffet restaurant specializing in Beijing cuisine, offering a complete selection of local delicacies like 'baodu' (tripe), 'luzhu' (stewed offal), 'chaogan' (stir-fried liver), 'douzhi' (fermented mung bean juice), 'zhajiangmian' (fried sauce noodles), and roast duck. Of course, they also have international dishes like beef, lamb chops, and salmon sashimi. If you're a first-time visitor to Beijing and don't want to wander around the streets, you can try all these dishes in one place. Wang Yajuan, a server at the restaurant, thoughtfully explained the food stations and brought us the exclusive drinks menu for executive lounge guests, which we greatly appreciated. (Regular paying guests also have drinks, but the variety is much smaller than for executive lounge guests). This drink menu included four types of craft beer and Evian sparkling water, which instantly made the value for money skyrocket. Plus, the restaurant was filled with Beijing cultural elements, making for a very comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast on the second day was also in the style of Beijing snacks, which I loved, so I won't go into detail. By the way, the online reviews for Sanwu Tang aren't very high, but I think those low-score reviews are unfair. Because Sanwu Tang's main focus is Beijing flavors, both the style and the food are authentic Beijing local dishes. Objectively speaking, some dishes might not be well-received by non-locals, leading to low scores. But if you like these flavors, trust me, go for it with your eyes closed – you definitely won't be disappointed. I also want to mention the gym; it's the largest I've seen in any hotel I've stayed at, with the widest variety of equipment. No luxury hotel in China can compare. The staff also maintained the high service standards of a premium hotel. In summary, this is a hotel with exceptional value for money. It's located in Beijing's Guomao area, and both the service and hardware facilities are outstanding. Highly recommended! 👍

Location: The hotel is in Chaoyang District, and since most of the places I wanted to visit in Beijing this time were nearby, it was quite convenient to get around. Room Facilities: Although the hotel has been around for many years, it's an artistic hotel, and the more time passes, the more character it develops. Just like the artwork on the front desk's background wall says, 'The Rose of Time,' it made me think of Bei Dao's poem: 'When the brush draws the horizon, you are awakened by the gong of the East, and blooming in the echo is the rose of time…' Breakfast: Breakfast is served on the first floor at LIQA, a Turkish restaurant. I'm not sure if it's the same team that handles breakfast and regular meal times, but the main courses, desserts, and drinks for breakfast were all excellent 👍. Parking: To get from the parking lot to the guest rooms, you need to go to the first floor and then transfer to another elevator. There are plenty of parking spaces. Just remember to register your license plate number at the front desk; I paid almost 200 yuan the first day because I forgot. Service: Absolutely fantastic! We received welcome fruits, desserts, a card, and drinks. There was bottled water everywhere, unopened pens, and a whole toiletry bag of amenities. The disposable hotel slippers were exceptionally comfortable, which is a rare and pleasant surprise. Housekeeping was prompt but never intrusive. They even gave my daughter the room card as a souvenir. I heard the swimming pool and gym are excellent, but I didn't get a chance to experience them this time as I was traveling with my child. I'll definitely check them out next time, haha.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, making it super convenient for shopping in Sanlitun. We booked a pet-friendly twin room and brought our dog along for the stay. Currently, the hotel has two pet-friendly rooms available to book, and the overall experience was great. The room was very clean. We put a diaper on our dog inside just in case of any accidents. We contacted the hotel a day in advance, and they kindly prepared some dog supplies for us—even though we didn't end up using them, it was such a thoughtful touch. If you're traveling with a pet, make sure to have your dog's license and vaccination records ready in advance, as you'll need to show them at the front desk upon check-in. We also received a lovely welcome card when we checked in. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay—the service was attentive, and the breakfast was delicious!

As an established five-star hotel, overall it is still very satisfying. Although it has been around for a while, the facilities are well-maintained. The room was very quiet and completely free of any noise disturbance at night, which was very important to me. The bed was also very comfortable, and I slept well both nights. When we went out the next day and returned, we found that our luggage had been neatly placed on luggage racks, which felt very considerate. For the children's books left on the desk, they even gave us nice bookmarks. Although these are small gestures, they left a deep impression on us. I also think the hotel's location is great; the Liangma River is right behind it, making it very pleasant for a stroll nearby. There is a subway station not far away, and it's very close to both China World Trade Center (Guomao) and Sanlitun.

Two years ago, I stayed here in late autumn and absolutely loved strolling by the lake, as well as hiking the Xishan trail to admire the autumn scenery and overlook the lakeside views from above. Taking advantage of the lull before the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, and coinciding with my daughter's birthday, we decided to return to Sunrise Kempinski for another stay. During check-in, Zhang Jiajia at the front desk thoughtfully noticed it was my daughter's birthday. Super attentive and heartwarming, she upgraded our booked city-view room to a lake-view room free of charge, and even arranged it in a prime central location. The panoramic lake and mountain views were breathtaking – a wonderful and unexpected birthday surprise! That evening, we dined at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor. We ordered steamed sea bass, boiled snowflake beef, stir-fried choy sum, and a vegetable salad. The food was delicious and the portions were so generous we couldn't finish it all. Being advocates of 'no waste,' we packed the leftovers and put them in the fridge. The next day at noon, I somewhat sheepishly asked the restaurant supervisor, ”We had a lot of leftovers last night, and every dish was delicious, it would be such a waste to throw them away. Could I order two new dishes and bother the kitchen to reheat last night's leftovers for us?” To my surprise, the supervisor promptly replied, ”If the leftovers are enough for you, you don't even have to order new dishes.” What was even more heartwarming was that the leftovers were not only reheated thoroughly and served piping hot, but they were also meticulously arranged on various beautifully shaped plates, looking indistinguishable from freshly ordered dishes. I've stayed in many high-end hotels, but I've truly never encountered such kind, thoughtful, and down-to-earth service anywhere else. The Sunrise Kempinski Hotel Beijing, Yanqi Lake, truly deserves high praise! 👍👍👍

The breakfast was delicious, though the watermelon wasn't very fresh. There was a great variety of options, definitely worth trying! The room had Coca-Cola, and you could get free refills if you ran out! We even received mooncakes upon check-in, the service was excellent! Next time I'm in Beijing, I'll definitely stay here again! Jianguomen subway station is about a 12-minute walk from the hotel, which is pretty convenient!

I booked this hotel for my father's medical appointment. It was excellent, and the front desk staff were very warm and welcoming. The room was spacious, clean, and bright, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful service, especially the fresh-ground coffee – a perfect pick-me-up when I had an early start. The breakfast was decent too. Most importantly, it's incredibly convenient for Luhe Hospital, just across the road. I'll definitely stay here again for his follow-up appointments.

Booked the smallest room for 50€. Location was fine and the AC worked. Toilet flushed well, which is rare. I think the price was high because of the national holiday but still doesn’t explain why the room was full of dust. Also the room smelled like cigarette but turning the AC on it goes away. If the price was below 40€ it would be worth it.

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria Beijing was absolutely perfect, earning a full five-star review! I experienced both the main building and the traditional courtyard rooms. The location is superb, right next to Wangfujing and within walking distance to the Forbidden City, making getting around incredibly convenient. The hotel's design is truly unique and thoughtful. The rooms are spacious and elegant, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the amenities are high-quality and smell wonderful – every detail shows great care. Our butler, Willow, provided attentive and thoughtful service; she was warm, polite, and perfectly balanced, never being intrusive. The breakfast spread was extensive, featuring both authentic Beijing specialties and delicious Western options. The afternoon tea was beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. This is definitely the top luxury hotel to stay at when visiting Beijing. Highly recommended!
