Apartments in Shanghai

"Affordable place to stay if you are going to the exhibition hall nearby for business. Only problem with the hotel is that it doesn't have table and chair in case you want to check your email or use your laptop. The room is well equipped and heater in your bathroom. There is a great breakfast buffet choices daily too."

"Well worth booking, located very close to the metro station Jing 'An Si. We didn't really use the kitchen as it was lacking things like dishwashing liquid, sponges, tea towels etc which really make a kitchen usable. When we were in Japan we used service apartments and cooked because these things make it possible so it's something this apartment hotel could consider supplying. We used the washing machine and there was a small bag of powder supplied. The staff hung our clothes out on a rack for us which was greatly appreciated and unexpected :) They need to update and professionalise things though, a daggy plastic hello kitty hand soap dispenser, cheap looking plastic shampoo/conditioner bottles and in-flight magazine from 2013 let the apartment down. The decor is a bit outdated but the location is great and staff kept our bags for a few hours after check out time which was very helpful. Would recommend this apartment on location alone."

"This is my new favourite hotel in Shanghai. I have stayed in 5 hotels in Shanghai in the past two years and this one was the best. We had the studio unit and it has a full kitchen with washing machine/dryer as well. Big room, nice bed, good tv stations and all very well looked after. The hotel restaurant is Element Fresh with a lovely outside seating area on the 6th floor with views of the city and a small playground. The ground floor has a Starbucks as well."

"First time stay in Putuo District in Shanghai and I decided to book a service apartment convenient for a family of 3 (parents & toddler). Experience: * 07/14 (Saturday) morning arrival: - Mgmt provided the first available cleaned & ready room (master bedroom w/ bathroom inside 2FL). - Informed that there was 2 different room configurations (1 is master bedroom,; 1 is bathroom on 1FL). - I telephoned the front desk to request for the other room configuration when available after daily guest checkout. The front desk agreed and advised my family to rest up inside the current room. - Late afternoon: Management called and informed that the new room was avail & will send a bell-hop to help move our luggage into the new room. - After indicating a concern with a bell-hop pressuring us for a tip, mgmt met with us to apologize and indicated this was not a company protocol. Tip was returned and provided a meal vouchers. * I decided to book 2 more evenings here. * TRUST - Modena (LINDA)"

"i am a traveler, and whether for pleasure or for business, i always make sure that before i select the hotel @ agoda i check on the reviews if ever they meet my requirements. in most asian countries that i have been, i have experienced staying in some citadines chain of hotels and i would say they always satisfy my taste each time. i stayed in three different hotels in shanghai and i am giving a "thumbs up" rate to this citadines shanghai jinqiao hotel. the location may be a bit too far from the bustling city area but i didn't find it hard to get a taxi and to go to places where i need to be, because all attractions and shopping districts are reachable in just few minutes. the metro station may not be of walking distance but would only cost you 14rmb. the breakfast had a small number of choices in the buffet table but they change courses each day. there is this restaurant, about a little walk and just 2 corners away from the hotel(sorry i forgot the name but it won't be too difficult to find) which serves the best shanghainese food ever! i was glad we were able to discover that restau for they have so many authentic food choices and everything seemed so delectable and yummy at very affordable prices. you should really try it!! there is nothing that i dislike in the hotel for all the things i need in one accommodation is complete and all in one nice and cozy room - the clean bathroom, mini kitchen with big ref, a working table and a reception separate from the bedroom, soft bed (most hotels in china have orthopedic hard beds)and good-smelling bed linens. if you need something you can have it in just one call at the concierge or housekeeping section. the service is so efficient that i won't hesitate to stay there in citadines over and over again. i simply love all the comfort that comes with your stay in it! thanks citadines.."

"We’d stayed in IFC Residence from July 25 to August 21. We have to say it is definitely the best apartment hotel in Shanghai, with respect to the location, the staff and the elegant facilities provided. Starting from check-in, you were welcomed by friendly and efficient reception staff. During our stay, whether it was for calling a taxi or for some sightseeing tips, the reception or concierge team was always ready to give help! To name a few, thank you Helen, Michelle, Alice and Kiki... thank you Jami and Frank... in general, the whole team is worthy to be complimented! What makes it outstanding is the fact, besides the elegant hotel as it is; you are always greeted & served with friendly smiling staff! A Big Bravo to Yvonne, the newly landed manager from Hotel Ritz Calton Shanghai, who has obviously brought with her the elegant customer service concept to her team in IFC Residence. The other best point is location, which is unique in Lujiazhui. Simply by opening the hotel door, an excellent mall is in front of you, where you could find various choices of the restaurant, or the access to the subway, etc... With respect to the breakfast, the choice is basic. However, the restaurant manager Leo is always there listening to your need; Service girl Coco would bring a cup of coffee with two sugar bags to me whenever seeing me come to breakfast. A wonderful personal touch! We had a wonderful time in Shanghai, due to all the convenience provided by IFC Residence and its team! We will certainly recommend it to friends and those who would like to explore Shanghai starting from Pudong! "

"Actually the hotel is a living compound where you can book apartments with all living facilities. Apartments are not suitable for parties because the most of guest are employees with families who temporary work in Shanghai and need silence. It is OK for calm staying in the city especially with children. Apartments are warm during winter season. Very soft beds. Far away from the center of the city but many other attractions in the area, for example, Japanese sauna. Opposite WAGAS restaurant can make delivery to your place. No any claims."

"Hotel with excellent facilities .... But left to be desired, the night was warm in Shanghai and a structure of that without air conditioning .... It was very difficult to sleep .... As long as the air conditioning system is off, I do not indicate to nobody...."

"A terrific family friendly haven in shanghai- We made it here after tumultuous and exhausting week traveling with small kids in Shanghai. This was heaven. Everything we needed was right there – the bed was incredible - food and restaurants and a great big wonderful park all within immediate walking distance. Cannot say enough about how wonderful his place was for us. I was sad to leave. "

"Apartment was unavailable and we immediately had to take a taxi to another apartment. Clean according to Chinese standards( floor rugs and floors, shower with hair). Bed was fresh and kitchen looked clean. Aircon only in the room, which was very cold at night in winter, no extra blanket available. Bathroom temperature was a little bit warmer than outside at night and in the morning, which is not the standard you expect for such a rate! Used leather and plastic slip shoes are at your disposal. Chinese Pay TV was available, poor internet. Location is good, neighbors are very kind and helpful. The person in charge of the property is only available per Wechat and I had to pay high international roaming fees to contact her. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by this property.. for this rate of approx. 90€ It is unacceptable. "
