The Donghu Hotel is a hidden gem in the Xihui district of Shanghai. The rooms have an old world feel and are very clean and comfortable. The perfect location to wander and admire the architecture of the old French Concession. Plenty of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants nearby and a quick taxi downtown. The bed was also the most comfortable bed I have slept in in any hotel.
Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for your recognition and appreciation of East Lake Hotel. We are deeply honored to bring you the comfort of "home" and the unique customs of old Shanghai. Your satisfaction is our greatest pursuit. In order to continuously improve the service quality, we have immediately rectified the minor details mentioned, and will continue to pay attention to maintaining the quality of hotel facilities. Regarding your suggestion, we are studying how to better link the hotel location with the modern transportation system to ensure that you get a faster and more convenient way to travel in the city center. We are glad but surprised that your accommodation experience can be such a wonderful and close compliment, which is also our continuous source of motivation for all-round improvement and perfection of user experience. Thank you again for your choice, and look forward to your next visit. Let's continue to build beautiful memories together.

Usually my go to hotel in Shanghai. Great location, nice spacious rooms, very clean and nice friendly service.
The only thing, the gym opens at 9am which isn’t convenient if you have to start work early. Would be great if it could open at 6/7am.
Response from Property: Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted to be your go-to hotel in Shanghai and that you enjoy our location, spacious rooms, cleanliness, and friendly service.Regarding the gym hours, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Due to unavoidable operational factors , opening at 6/7am isn’t currently feasible. However, we’ve noted your suggestion and will explore possible solutions to better accommodate early risers in the future.We truly value your loyalty and hope to welcome you back soon! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do to enhance your stay.

We travelled here as a large extended family with older folk.
Great location in the middle of French concession zone. Beautiful architecture, comfortable rooms, excellent service and staff.
Not much amenities in terms of gym, lounge, or swimming pool.
I enjoyed it, and I think it's worth coming for a cultural stay.
