Guang Fulin Prime Hotel Shanghai Reviews

This hotel is right inside the scenic area, and every room offers a fantastic view. Stepping out, you're immediately in Guangfulin. It's truly breathtaking! The breakfast was superb—rich and delicious, and the complimentary services were also excellent. The lobby, a traditional ancient house, is full of cultural heritage; I learned a lot about history there. They also have special ceremonies. Honestly, just look at the pictures!

The hotel environment is really nice, with a charming antique feel. It's very close to Guangfulin, and there's a convenient shortcut directly from the hotel. The hotel package included access to a children's play area and a petting zoo, which my baby absolutely loved! Also, our butler, Jinli, was incredibly thoughtful. Traveling with a one-year-old means you have to adjust to their schedule, and on our departure day, the baby was napping. I'm especially grateful to our butler for arranging a late check-out for us, allowing the baby to finish sleeping before we left. We'll definitely be back when the baby is a bit older!

I was very satisfied with this stay. Since it was a suite and I was traveling with an 11-month-old who is still in the crawling stage, I specifically requested a clean floor. I communicated well with Qingyang Home, and throughout our stay, my child mostly played on the floor in the room. Surprisingly, there was no noticeable dust on his pants. The crib, charging cables, and all other facilities were excellent. I will definitely come again. Thank you!

✔️【Tips】 1. The hotel offers a complimentary photoshoot with 3 free photos. Additional photos are 80 RMB each, or a package of 20 for an 8.5% discount. The overall results were good, and I ended up purchasing a few. 2. The hotel provides tickets to the petting zoo and a basket of carrots for feeding the animals. 3. The children's playground is on the basement level of the hotel. The adjacent elevator provides direct access to other hotel areas with restaurants, including the buffet breakfast at Yiyuan Lumingge Shuiyunjian. ⚠️📝： 1. The lantern lighting ceremony only takes place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We visited on a weekday with our child, so it was relatively quiet and uncrowded. However, this meant no people in the background of our photos, leading to excellent shots. It was less crowded and more relaxed, so I'd still recommend visiting on a weekday. 2. We didn't visit the hotel's indoor water park, as it's past summer and I was concerned about getting a cold. 3. Guangfulin Cultural Relics Park is just across a bridge from the hotel. If you have enough time and your child has plenty of energy, you can visit in the afternoon of the second day. There are also many restaurants within the park.

The hotel environment is excellent, quiet, and full of ancient charm. The room facilities are good; the faucets and showerheads are Grohe brand, and the toiletries are Clarins. The bedding is comfortable, and the breakfast offers a rich variety and good taste. I'd suggest improving the hotel lobby, as it's small and lacks design, not at all what a hotel lobby should look like. There are also too few elevators. If your room isn't close to an elevator, you have to navigate many winding paths, and the signage isn't very clear.

Loved it! The kids' water park is fantastic, and being heated means kids can enjoy it anytime. The indoor play area is also huge, and the operating hours from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM are super convenient. The butler service was very attentive; a big thank you to Butler Qingyang. After chatting with other parents, it's clear many bring their kids here repeatedly. I'll definitely be back for a second visit!

We visited Guangfulin with our elders and children and were drawn to the traditional Chinese style, so we stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the hotel, we saw many people bringing their elderly family members to experience the stay, some with canes, some in wheelchairs – this truly highlights why it's so important to keep traveling with family. The hotel's services were all excellent, including the folk customs activities, stamp collecting for check-ins, and Guqin performances. Housekeeping was diligent and prompt, servicing the room twice a day. All the staff were very proactive and enthusiastic in their responses. In particular, our butler, Hansu, maintained online contact from before check-in until we got home after check-out. Her response speed was incredibly fast, and though we didn't meet in person, her service was very thoughtful; we basically just had to make requests via phone. The parent-child handicraft workshop was a bit underwhelming; the crafts were quite simple, and the finished products weren't very appealing to the kids. The travel photography primarily focused on Hanfu costumes, but we requested to take souvenir photos in casual clothes. When the time came, no one guided us, and the photos taken were also very basic. The hotel is right next to Guangfulin, and you can use your room card to access a small gate. We were fortunate to witness the grandeur of the underwater museum and the modernity of the light festival. Because the park is so vast, being able to take a shortcut through the hotel really saved us a lot of energy. The hotel offers both Chinese and Japanese dinner options, both requiring advance reservations. The Chinese restaurant, Yiyuan, was packed, and the food was delicious. The Japanese BBQ set menu is also highly recommended; it's not overly large but very refined, perfect for family dining.

The hotel's overall environment is excellent, with antique decor. It's very quiet at night, and the rooms are spacious with a courtyard. The facilities and cleanliness were satisfactory, and the breakfast was abundant and delicious. It's very family-friendly, offering a kids' play area, a heated splash pool, and even a handicraft workshop for temporary childcare, allowing parents to explore and take photos. There's a small gate directly connecting to the Guangfulin Cultural Site, making it very convenient to visit. Highly recommended for families with seniors and children looking for a leisurely trip to Songjiang.

To celebrate my mother's 80th birthday in the golden autumn of October, we specifically chose the Prime Minister's Mansion Hotel for the celebration and stay, based on a friend's recommendation. I really liked this hotel. Its design style is very distinctive; the exterior has an antique Jiangnan charm, while the interior decor blends modern and classical elements, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere that feels wonderful. The hotel's dining offers high-quality dishes, and the dining environment is beautiful. The staff service is warm and attentive. It's also conveniently located near the Guangfulin Site. What truly impressed me about the hotel was not only its unique decor and rich historical and cultural ambiance, but also how its hardware facilities are thoughtfully designed for guest convenience and comfort at every turn. A special thank you to Xiao Yu from the front office 🌹. Upon learning that an elderly person was traveling and celebrating a birthday, she not only thoughtfully arranged a surprise birthday setup in the room beforehand, but also provided enthusiastic service throughout our stay. She thoroughly informed us about the hotel's facilities and nearby attractions for our reference, kindly helped us book dining reservations, and thoughtfully swapped out pillows for more suitable ones. All these details reflect her excellent personal qualities and strong professional competence 👍. I commend your hotel's high standard of management and your harmonious team collaboration! Often, memories of a city, an attraction, a hotel, or a meal stem from various small details. And these warm and pleasant moments, formed by countless little details, will make one's heart feel warm and touched whenever and wherever they recall and speak of them again. Thank you for your hotel's warm hospitality, which made us remember not just the surprise, but also the warmth of your hotel brand and the excellence of your staff across all departments! Thank you for giving us such a pleasant stay!

The ancient mansion in the lobby of the Guangfulin Prime Minister's Mansion Hotel is a reconstructed former residence of a Ming Dynasty Chief Grand Secretary, originally relocated from Jiangxi. Stepping into this elegantly antique mansion, the air is filled with the subtle fragrance of agarwood. Gently touching the golden Phoebe wood pillars, steeped in history, and listening to the Guzheng music echoing through the halls, one truly feels transported back in time. On my last day, I stumbled upon a reception in the lobby where they were introducing the main building. Joining in, I learned about fascinating details: the 'Yuanbao' (ingot-shaped) beams symbolizing wealth; arch-shaped roof beams, open at the top, expressing a wish for endless family prosperity; intricate carvings of lotus flowers and the Eight Immortals; couplets on the golden Phoebe wood pillars, showcasing the Chief Grand Secretary's profound literary talent; and a 'Ji Wu Lian Hui' plaque, celebrating the harmonious and beautiful relationship of the owners. The hotel rooms also maintain this elegant, antique aesthetic, and the facilities are excellent. The wardrobe comes with a safe and bathrobes, and a Dyson hairdryer is provided. The minibar area features a capsule coffee machine, black and green teas, and the mini-fridge is stocked with 5-6 complimentary beverages and a free bottle of beer. The toiletries are pleasant to use and generously sized, with toothbrushes featuring very fine and soft bristles for a comfortable brushing experience. On the afternoon of check-in, we also received complimentary fruit and pastries. The hotel staff are exceptionally well-trained; wherever you encounter them, they greet you with a smile and are always ready to offer directions, making you feel truly at home. Our butler, Nanfeng, was particularly outstanding. I connected with her on WeChat prior to arrival, and she promptly assisted with directions, booked afternoon tea and a table at Yiyuan, and answered all my questions, leaving me very impressed. The entire hotel feels like a vast, beautiful garden, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Just behind the hotel, across a bridge, is Guangfulin's bustling dining street, making it incredibly convenient for both sightseeing and meals. The hotel's Yiyuan restaurant, which is on many 'must-try' lists, offers exceptional dishes that are definitely worth a second visit.

This is by far the most cost-effective 5-star hotel in Songjiang. The room is spacious, and the location is convenient with easy access to transportation and parking. There's a shopping mall right next door, making dining and shopping very convenient. I'm quite particular about pillows, and after a restless night, I called and they immediately sent over a softer pillow. The service was excellent. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit old, but compared to the few other 5-star hotels in Songjiang's urban area, this one offers unbeatable value for money!

Stayed in Building 8, riverside, and the room was excellent, really giving off those vacation vibes. Since it was the National Day holiday, there were quite a few people, but the service in all aspects was good. Breakfast was well-organized with prompt refills. The concierge service from Jinli was also superb; they informed me of everything via WeChat in advance, and any issues were handled promptly. Very satisfied with my stay.

During the National Day holiday, my family and I stayed at this hotel. I loved its Chinese courtyard style; walking into the ancient house, you're immediately drawn in by its architecture, as if you've traveled back in time... The guest rooms are also antique and all the facilities are excellent. The hairdryer is a Dyson, the minibar has a capsule coffee machine, black and green tea, and all the drinks in the small fridge are complimentary. The toiletries are Clarins, and on the day of check-in, we even received complimentary fruit and pastries in the afternoon. The hotel staff are also very warm and welcoming; no matter who you encounter, they'll greet you with a smile and help with directions, making you feel right at home. The hotel also offered a complimentary travel photoshoot. The photographer was very humorous and professional, and after discussing with him, he captured exactly the feeling I wanted. This time, everything was fantastic, from the hotel facilities and dining to the photoshoot. A perfect holiday!

During the National Day holiday, I brought my baby to stay at the much-talked-about Prime Minister's Mansion (Zaixiangfu). After booking, I immediately added Wanhua from Zaixiangfu on WeChat. The service was excellent, and all our requests were met. The hotel itself is elegant and refined, and the staff were very enthusiastic. When we asked for directions, they even walked us there directly. The room was spacious and comfortable, and they provided plenty of mineral water, which was perfect for a family like ours with a baby who needs a lot of water and has a lot of things. The baby also had a great time at the kids' play area. The only downside was that the food at Yiyuan wasn't very good, but there's a commercial street right out the back door with many restaurants, and it's also convenient to order takeout, which the hotel staff will deliver to your room.
