The hotel is conveniently located, very close to the subway station (line 2), which makes getting around Shanghai easier. The hotel services are very good, as is the cleanliness, the beds are very comfortable, the room is spacious enough for 4 people and the amenities are modern. In addition, we enjoyed a free city tour offered by the hotel. I recommend it. Special thanks to our guide, Ms. Xiao He, she was really helpful. Also to Mr. Johnson, who helped us with communication in English and with booking the shuttle to the airport, also a free service offered by the hotel.

We are from Colombia and had a wonderful stay at Magnotel Guilin. The location is excellent — close to shops, restaurants, and the main attractions of the city. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Special thanks to Vito, our amazing host, who assisted us with everything and made our stay very pleasant. Spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms — highly recommended!

We have chosen this hotel for a week stay in Shanghai, 2 rooms. The location was perfect, quiet neighbourhood with restaurants, small fresh fruit store and in the same time walking distance to The Bund. The most important factor was English customer service. They were not only focused on hotel services but also helped us a lot with travellers challenges in China, which was far beyond their duties. Special appreciation to Jeroen from front desk. The rooms were comfy, modern style, very clean, including bathroom. Air-conditioning was easy to control, adjusted to our preferences. The breakfasts were variable, with selection of European and Asian options, great for a active sightseeing day. Our recommendation is to choose taxi services from airport to hotel for your comfort, it is offered in a good price

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
