Amazing service and a comfortable place. Providing a shuttle bus to Disneyland and airport. Preparing takeaway breakfast for us when we need to leave early to the airport. The location is great as it's close to the subway station and local market. Highly recommended!!! You did a great job , Maixinge Boutique hotel team....

First of all, t h e breakfasts. I wrote to SSAW before visit to mention we're vegetarians - as I know it may be difficult in China. The breakfasts were perfectly adjusted, giving a wide range of options and very delicious ones. Everyday was a better one because of them. Besides that; the hotel staff is kind and helpful, and they mostly speak basic English. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The cleaning service was ok, they've made a bed and fullfilled the bathroom's accessories. Everyday, there were bottles of water waiting in our room. We could use the lundary room for free. Location was good - close to the metro and convinient stores. I liked the traditional atmosphere and decorations in the hotel. It's small and private. Such a nice steppingstone from those huge ones in China. I recommend this hotel a lot!

The hotel is excellent. 1. The location is very good - it is 15 mins by walk from all the famous tourist attractions. Also, 10 mins by walk from the subway station. 2. The staff were very polite. We asked them to keep our suitcases there because we are going on a trip for a week and then coming back and they agreed without any problems. 3. The hotel is very nice and clean - everyday they changed our towels, cups and cleaned the room. I recommend it!!!

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
