4-Star Hotels in Shanghai

If you travel to Huinan Town in Shanghai, He Yitang Hotel is definitely your top choice. My overall stay experience far exceeded expectations, and every thoughtful service detail was satisfying. The hotel is very close to the airport with highly convenient transport links, surrounded by complete shopping and dining amenities, easy to locate, and reasonably priced with outstanding cost performance. The hotel boasts exceptional service standards. Staff members offer thoughtful and attentive service and respond promptly to all guest requests. The exclusive airport transfer service is incredibly cost-effective, making trips to and from the airport effortless. Check-in and check-out procedures are streamlined and efficient without long waiting times, delivering a seamless arrival and departure experience. Rooms maintain immaculate hygiene standards, spotlessly clean with no unpleasant odors. Beds are perfectly made, and bathrooms stay dry and odor-free. The beds are soft and cozy, rooms feature excellent sound insulation, lighting is gentle and soothing, and bathrooms have practical layouts. The hotel boasts exquisite interior decor. Guests receive complimentary fresh fruit and distinctive small gifts upon check-in, plus an on-site parking lot for hassle-free parking. The hotel restaurant serves high-quality, diverse dishes featuring local specialties and regular Chinese cuisine, with warm and polite restaurant attendants. It is highly family-friendly with fully equipped children’s playgrounds and abundant daily parent-child activities. Many rooms offer sweeping open views from the windows. Whether you are just transiting or traveling for leisure with your family, this hotel is an ideal pick.

Orange Crystal is still very reliable, I've been choosing it for years. The decor is grand, the rooms are very clean, and the bath towels are fluffy. The floor mat, especially, is super comfortable. Breakfast also gets a 10 out of 10 – it's extensive, fresh, and delicious, looking very appetizing, and tastes great too. The service is also excellent; the cleaning staff always greet you with a smile. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time.

I've found a real gem in this modern tower. The hotel occupies floors 15 to 18, and the reception is a 10/10 – the staff are super friendly, they offer coffee, tea, and little pastries, and there's also a very comfortable coworking area. The rooms are like a small studio with a kitchenette: microwave, washing machine, dryer, a full-size fridge, and plenty of closet space. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, and the shower… wow! The water pressure is amazing, absolutely wonderful. The door is floor-to-ceiling, so steam from long showers doesn't escape into the rest of the room. The sink area is a bit small, but it's fine for one or two people. Special mention: the magnifying mirror and the Japanese toilet – a real luxury that I really appreciated. We were so comfortable that we ended up extending our stay by 3 more days. The only downside: the metro is about 1 km away, maybe a bit more. But the value for money is so good that what you save on the hotel easily covers a taxi ride. From now on, this will be my go-to place in Shanghai. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.

1. **Regarding the hardware:** The room itself is nice – clean, with new facilities, and in a great location close to the subway. However, because the location is so prime, space is at a premium, so the room size is limited. The TV is positioned in a way that takes up too much space, leaving almost no room between the bed and the TV, making it easy to bump into. 2. **Regarding the service:** The breakfast was good, and both the front desk and room service were excellent. 3. **Minor issues:** I suggest a thorough check of the entire building's air conditioning system. We were informed that there's central air conditioning and were advised not to use the in-room AC for energy saving and environmental protection. However, if you don't turn on the in-room AC, you'll be sweating profusely within minutes – it was 38 degrees outside and 30 degrees inside the room. But if you do turn on the AC, it gets a bit too cold. It's quite a dilemma. Also, the ventilation fan is a bit noisy. So, if you turn on the AC at night, it's cold; if you turn on the fan for ventilation, it's loud. If you don't turn anything on, it's too hot to sleep. I've stayed in other five-star hotels before where the room remained cool even with the AC off. I recommend addressing these issues.

Finding a hotel this time around took ages, and a lot of the reviews I saw weren't great, including other Huazhu hotels. Even though this place had decent reviews and a friend recommended it, I was still a bit nervous before checking in. **Environment:** The hotel entrance felt a little cramped, but once inside, it instantly felt comfortable. The light, minimalist style is exactly what I like. The room layout was also very pleasant; the lighting and space were both great. **Facilities:** The room had a coffee machine ☕ which was very convenient, and a fridge (with soft drinks inside). The lobby also had water brewed by the hotel itself. **Hygiene:** Very clean! This was my biggest concern, and I gave it a thorough look-over as soon as I entered. **Service:** I was genuinely impressed with the service this time. Staff members would actively approach and ask if I needed anything if we made eye contact, always with a smile. The cleaning lady even politely greeted me with a 'Good morning' as I left my room and asked, 'May I clean the room now?' Just a minor point: the front desk staff said the room they arranged had a better view (facing the golf course), but all I saw was a messy rooftop 🤣. However, it was quiet, which was a plus and didn't affect my overall satisfaction. **Food:** The breakfast selection was quite comprehensive, covering Chinese and Western styles, coarse grains, fine noodles, and fruits. If you're not looking for steak for breakfast, it's perfectly adequate for a regular meal (didn't get a full photo, but there's also a coffee machine and toaster 🍞).

This was our 3rd stay at Atour Hotels in China. All 3 locations, ie GuangZhou, Foshan and Shanghai, have the same high standards. Hotel room was clean, well maintained and comfy. Location is excellent as it’s near The Bund and short walk to Nanjing Pedestrian Street. Breakfast spread was great and they also serve free porridge for supper nightly from 9.30-11pm too. You can also do your own laundry FOC and the service staffs even help to transfer your laundry from washer to dryer and when completed they will pack your cleaned and dry clothings into a bag for your pickup. Again we are very happy with our 5-nights stay with Atour Hotel. Keep up with the great service !

The room was clean and tidy, with a comfortable color scheme. The bathrobes were made of a pleasant material. The front desk staff, both the guys and girls, were all very friendly. It was also very convenient to order takeout to the hotel. The floor-to-ceiling window offered a lush green view, which was lovely. On Sunday, they even allowed me a late checkout until 2 PM.

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Shanghai Hotel. The room was spacious and perfect for our family of four. The beds were huge and comfortable, and we liked having a bathtub and a small living area with a couch. The room had a cozy, rustic charm that made it feel welcoming. The breakfast was good with plenty of options to choose from. We also had dinner at the revolving restaurant on the 27th floor, which offered lovely city views. Be sure to make a reservation in advance if you plan to dine there. Note that the breakfast area is on the 1st floor and separate from the revolving restaurant. The staff were kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. A few minor things could be improved. The shampoo and body wash provided were quite small and not enough for a family of four. Complimentary bottled water was limited, and extra bottles came at an additional cost. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with spacious rooms, good food, and helpful staff. We would happily stay here again.

Booked the light luxury smart duplex suite, stayed here for 2 nights and it exceeded expectations. The two-level layout gives you some privacy, and little more space than a normal family room. The smart features worked well too, stable WiFi .Cleanliness was good. Room and bathroom were spotless at check-in. One thing worth knowing if you're booking: since it's a duplex, there are stairs inside the room, so it might not be ideal if you are traveling with small kids. Otherwise, great value for the space and location. I'd recommend for anyone wanting a comfortable base near Jing'an, getting around the city easily.👍🏻👍🏻

Had a great stay, and they even upgraded my room! The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was huge. The overall facilities were complete and well-maintained, and the cleanliness was top-notch. The garden environment was very pleasant. The service was also excellent, and breakfast could be delivered to the room. All the staff were very enthusiastic. I forgot their names, but I definitely have to mention the front desk guy today – he was especially helpful! I'll come again next time.
