In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Historical character that's rare in Shanghai — A 19th-century atmosphere that guests repeatedly highlight, from the grand ballroom to the old-world style.
  • Prime location near the Bund and subway — A 5-minute walk to the Huangpu River, easy access to metro lines, and close to the city's main sights.
  • Spacious rooms with high ceilings — Guests mention generously sized rooms, with some ceilings over 5 meters high, and tasteful period decor.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Some rooms show their age — The building's old glory comes with wear; a few guests noted the property would benefit from a refresh.
  • Nearest metro is a 15-minute walk — While the location is central, the closest subway station requires a longer walk, which can be strenuous in Shanghai's summer heat.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate – the policy is clearly not allowed.
