Shanghai Miller Villa Hotel

1) **Service:** Professional and attentive, as it should be. 2) **Ambiance:** Exactly what you'd expect and hope for from an ancient castle – exquisite and thoughtfully designed. 3) **Facilities:** Given it's a castle, you need to appreciate the era it was built and the material limitations of that time. For its period, it was absolutely top-notch. In this progressive age, it evokes a sense of nostalgia and is a delight to behold. 5) **Cleanliness:** Very clean. The complimentary snacks, fruits, and mini-bar drinks in the room were all very well-considered. 6) **Breakfast:** Though small, it's very rich and satisfying – a European-style breakfast that is both refined and abundant. The main draw is enjoying a mix of Western and Chinese breakfast options within this castle, which is more than enough reason to stay here. Overall, I highly recommend this to visitors who want to experience staying in a castle. It's very suitable for children, with a garden and castle treasure hunt, plus adorable cats. May your hotel business flourish. I have no ulterior motives; this is a sincere review, nothing more.

Extremely satisfied with this trip! So many pleasant surprises, it truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel is unique and distinctive, the breakfast was abundant, and the service was excellent. Plus, it felt very secure. I'll definitely choose the Moller Villa again in the future and will recommend it to others.

I've always wanted to visit, and today, since I was getting my US visa and the Moller Villa was nearby, I decided to stay here! The service was excellent and very welcoming. I'm a big fan of castle architecture, so I fell in love with Moller Villa the moment I arrived. The story behind it, especially a father's meticulous love for his daughter, resonated with me, and you can feel it in every corner of the villa.

The owner of the villa, Moller, was born in China, yearned for sea voyages, and loved horses and horse racing. The architecture reflects these elements. During WWII, the Japanese sent this wealthy Jewish family, who was both a big earner and a big spender, to a concentration camp. The Moller Villa Hotel, renovated and expanded by Hengshan Group, opened in May 2002. Currently, the main building houses suites, the annex building offers 'style rooms,' and the new building has standard rooms. I chose a style room in the annex building, and the front desk staff was very considerate, letting me pick a corner suite that was larger. The annex building is a bit older (flooring and ground surfaces), and the room rate isn't cheap, but the room decor is distinctive, especially the castle-style windows and curtains. An executive lounge card was included. Although the afternoon tea was simple, the butterfly pastries, molten chocolate cookies, and soft-filled sandwich cookies were exquisite and delicious. Breakfast varieties were limited; there was no oat milk or pasta, and the bacon was too hard. However, they did have crystal shrimp dumplings. I later noticed small wontons, which looked good with their soft and chewy skins. Moller Villa is very photogenic and definitely worth a visit for pictures.

This fairytale villa hidden in Shanghai is a must-visit! In the morning, enjoy the peaceful castle grounds, and in the evening, experience the magical changing lights. Nearby attractions are also easily accessible; you can walk to Julu Road during the day for a city walk, try some Michelin-starred soup dumplings, then hit the bar street at night for a drink. Afterward, you can easily swing by Nanjing West Road to see the Louis Vuitton building and the Starbucks Reserve Roastery.
