Homewood Suites by Hilton Hotels in Shanghai

When I came to Shanghai for 'bw', by the time I managed to get tickets, all the nearby hotels were either fully booked or ridiculously overpriced. I thought, if I'm going to pay that much, I might as well stay at a five-star instead of a three-star. This hotel, recommended by my friend, truly surpassed all my expectations. It was incredibly well-equipped, boasting a microwave and a large fridge (which surprisingly even had Wangwang crushed ice pops inside!). The welcome fruit platter was generous, and the coffee was excellent. The roasted chicken at breakfast was absolutely divine! Oh, and among the breakfast fruits, there were incredibly sweet, large lychees (I didn't get a photo!). The front desk staff, especially the ladies, were exceptionally warm and welcoming! The bellhops were proactive in helping with luggage and incredibly perceptive – truly commendable! But the absolute best part is that it's pet-friendly! I got to see adorable furry friends every single day – they were just too cute! It was an absolutely wonderful two-day stay!
