Shanghai hotellit lähellä Metro City

Plussat: The hotel is most satisfying to me. The staff service attitude is very good with the whole room. This hotel is worth staying again. After the stay, this price is worth giving, very satisfied.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Very charming & discreet property. The scents in the room is very soothing & memorable. Amazing hospitality from the staff.

Miinukset: The weather during my visit was unbearable hot & humid

Plussat: The staff was very professional, internationally trained, but a little stiff. The bedding is comfortable. Good for families due to separate floor spaces.

Miinukset: Being an expensive property with good critical write ups and traveler reviews, Capella turned out to be surprisingly disappointing. The idea sounds well and good, a hotel made from Shikumen restoration, and we chose this place primarily for its historical lineage. Unfortunately the design failed to realize this story. The restoration itself, as another reviewer has mentioned, feels like a movie set - pristine, perfect, unfeeling. I don't know exactly what was lost in translation, but whatever was unique is now perfect identical rows. The villa themselves are very vertical and narrow, and with five floors of it a little claustrophobic. I'm sure this honors the original houses, but the combination of the small space with a very conservative grand interior design doesn't help the small intimate space (marble bathroom typical of expensive Chinese properties). It feels like they were designing for a standard five star hotel instead of using a much bolder, thoughtful design tailored to the difficult space, or just combine the two villas if you're going for grandiose. If the design couldn't tell the story, I was hoping to get it from the library or other places in the hotel that would point to the history, but not a single book or some subtle exhibit is featured. When I mentioned this to the staff in the end when asked for feedback, one is gracious enough to give me a book on Shikumen. Ironically, it is a photography book, which while interesting, doesn't have much content. Money was thrown in on this project, but not a loving hand and respect to an interesting past. This makes other small things like bad coffee at the restaurant, an ok breakfast, and rough bathroom towels somewhat elementary mistakes for a luxury hotel. Perhaps more time is need for the Capella to find its voice.

Plussat: liked the ambience old world feel attentive staff and smiles .constantly bent over backwards to help even in the gym. english perfect which is at times difficult in shanghai. the buildings were authentic both in the capella sense and the french concession sense. altogether a calm and cosseted place to stay which is great in the bustle of shanghai. we also stayed at a very modern 5 star on the pudong shore on the same trip which an architect friend had designed but you know that though fancy and uber modern we were totally happy at capella and felt underloved at the more exective style one. our advice is to trust capella resorts as they go the extra mile

Miinukset: nothing. the staff were amazingly genuine and the surrounding patisserie restaurants all great

Plussat: The superb location in the French Concession is occupied by a complex of original shikumen townhouses, tastefully remodeled as a breathtaking urban resort. The services and facilities are flawless and thoroughly enjoyable. If you are traveling with 2-4 people, do not waste your money on generic five star hotels, but book a shared townhouse suite at the Capella.

Plussat: As a Shanghainese, Shi Ku Men is a part of our memories. When I was a child, my relatives, classmates, some of them lived in such kind of Shi Ku Men, but old and crowded...but now, it is luxury. I enjoyed the stay on my birthday, I like the clean room and warm service, a small bday party can be held in living room, free mini bar! Fantastic experience!

Miinukset: Even the guest need to pay the parking fee...

Plussat: Lovely location, only a few minutes from the metro station. Hotel was quite quiet and peaceful. Room was very comfortable. I arrived on an early morning flight and I was able to check in just after 10 am which was great.

Plussat: A great location in the French Quarter down a leafy quiet street, yet close to two subway stations. It is no surprise that many of the grand old houses close by were embassies! The staff were pleasant and professional and we really enjoyed our time here, although we didn't take advantage of the restaurant, preferring instead to use local coffee shops at times to suit our schedule. Very comfortable room and large bed, best we have found in China.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice bedroom

Miinukset: More choices on breakfast.

Plussat: Nice clean hotel. Big green garden. Very good variety breakfast. Espresso cafe is included.

Miinukset: Staff was not speaking english. Very high deposit for the room!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Gym not open until 10am Room service not avail until 10 am and limited menu Could not dial out to US Fountains played loud music

Plussat: The hotel is located near small station, but very convenient to traveling around. The area is nice and quiet. The check-in time is flexible, good for us that our flight arrived so early, so we could check in and rest.

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: The hotel was in nice grounds with trees and a green view from the room

Plussat: Good location, nice surrounding grounds

Miinukset: Room size a little small, bathtub drainage not ideal, a little tired looking in terms of overall hotel facilities

Plussat: Kaunis, vanhanajan tyylinen rakennus. Paljon henkilökuntaa. Englantia osaava henkilökunta respassa. Muuten työntekijät eivät puhuneet yhtään englantia. Metroasema hyvin lähellä. Rauhallinen sijainti.

Miinukset: Aamupala oli varsin kiinalainen. Makumaailma outo ja sen takia vaihdettiin hotellia. Hieman tunkkaista huoneessa ja käytävillä paksujen kokolattiamattojen vuoksi.

Miinukset: The hotel is next to a disco venue and it is very noisy at late night

Plussat: Pity there is no children’s space

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, tilava huone

Miinukset: Huonosti siivotut huoneet, likaiset pöydät lobby baarissa, henkilökunnan huono englannin kielen taito

Plussat: There are many good things about this hotel. The rooms are big, clean and well appointed. Internet connection was good. The best thing for me is that the rooms are very strict with smokers. As many China travelers would be aware, a non smoking room (even if the floor is marked as non smoking) are likely to have heavy smoke smell. This isn't the case with this hotel. I had the experience of dining at a smoked filled restaurant. Once i reentered the hotel room, within minutes, security came to my room as the smoke alarm had detected smoke. I wish all hotels in China could have such practice so that non smokers can enjoy a non smoking room. Kudos to the hotel !

Plussat: Everything from the hotel staff to the smell of the hotel was fabulous. The rooms are super modern and everything is electronic. Highly reccomend!!

Plussat: The best cog most exclusive hotel in Shanghai

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful hotel excellent service, very polite staff, great location, good dimsum menu in the Chinese restaurant.

Plussat: Hyvää sijainti kahviloiden ja ravintoloiden läheisyydessä. Tilavat huonetta ja mukavat vuoteet. Henkilökunta ystävällistä vaikkakin osittain puutteellinen englannin kielen taito.

Miinukset: Yläkerran ravintolan hinta-/laatusuhde ei kohdallaan. Henkilökunnan englannin kielen taito oli osittain melko heikko.

Plussat: 0

Miinukset: 1- I REACH HOTEL AT 9.00 PM AND THEY ASK TO WAIT FOR ONE HOUR TO MAKE ROOM REDAY. 2- DURING MY WAITING I GOT COFFE AND GREEN TEA AT THE RESTAURANT COST ME 180RM. 3- ROOM NOT CLEAN AT ALL. 4- NO MENY BAR AND WHEN I AM DOING CHECKOUT ASK ME WHAT DID YOU USE FROM THE MENY BAR. 5- RE USING THE PERSONAL STUFF AGAING ( SAMPOO AND SHOWER GEL ) IT WAS HAFE. AND MORE MORE MORE

Plussat: Room was pleasant and well-appointed, great shower and bath, comfortable bed. Didn't get to see the pool and gym etc but pictures looked good! Great location. Concierge on last day was very helpful in arranging taxi.

Miinukset: Constant buzzing of bathroom light bulb, being able to hear the music playing in the corridors when trying to go to sleep, not enough light in the room when dark outside. I hung my towel up each day to show I was willing to reuse it but each day it was changed. Staff on check-in were totally silent except 'sign here'. Restaurant Maitre D in the evening was not helpful when I asked if I could have a glass of wine from the bar rather than one of the ones (choice of about 2) on the restaurant list. Need better wine list especially 'by the glass' :)

Plussat: location is alright, not too busy street

Miinukset: the check in could not find my reservation, discriminate against kayak.com or booking.com customers. they were very rude. the executive room is fake, it's all the same kind of room, so just book the cheapest one. very very poor value for the money

Plussat: nice clean hotel

Plussat: Great room for money, Very helpful staff

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast poor, Service so so, Bad smell in the room while getting in, Poor fourniture and equipment

Plussat: Rooms were comfortable and spacious, good facilities including a well equipped kitchen and washer/dryer, we had a two bed room with 2 bathrooms so choice of shower or bath. Our upper floor room had views toward the Bund skyline and the river with small balcony. Air conditioning in the main living area and the bedrooms was good and beds were comfortable after long days of sightseeing in Shanghai and beyond.

Miinukset: Breakfast choice was limited and the breakfast area was windowless and too warm - loads of interesting and delicious street food choices available nearby so wouldn't recommend a breakfast inclusive tariff.

Miinukset: Even though I was on 23rd floor, especially the balcony door couldn't keep the street noise out.
