Citadines Jinqiao Shanghai

Nanjing road (4 mins walk from the hotels doorstep) is a breathtaking shopping mecca. Take advantage of your location and stay out late - its ok to sleep in, nothing opens until ten. Go for the sights and incredible people watching opportunities. Daily, a man in a sequined jacket plays a sax off a French-style balcony and people dance in the street. Dancing and singing goes on at all hours, but especially at night. But resist the shopping urges unless you don't mind paying premium prices for poor construction (I noticed everything - even knockoffs - are low quality compared to Beijing). Back to the hotel itself, the short walk to Nanjing Road (and the nearby metro stop) does go through a slightly dodgy area at night, but I after a few days I realised you can shortcut through a well-kept walkway belonging to the (GORGEOUS) five star hotel next door. The staff are fine, no concierge but friendly enough. Service reflects more a services apartment (they call it 'apart-hotel?') than a hotel, but thats fine. Breakfast was edible. The bed was very comfortable. Bathrooms are large enough to hand-wash clothes if you need to, also they have a laundry service and a launderette nearby. Room service was a little overzealous and non-English-speaking and once I forgot to put the do-not-disturb sign up and they came back every 5 minutes and then called me repeatedly until I got out of bed and put the sign on the door - lesson learned - but that was my only poor experience and mostly my own fault anyway. The overzealousness did translate to their work ethic, my room was spotless every time and they even folded my clothes. When I arrived the hotel did not have my double room available so they gave me a free upgrade to an absolutely gigantic apartment which was larger than my home. Huge balcony, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and separate living area. Decor was nothing spectacular but clean and without the tacky additions I've seen in other hotels (no blue glittery fake flowers here).  All in all a wonderful hotel I will be sure to book every time. I do not usually write reviews but I felt they deserved it.

functional and nicely decorated room incl kitchen w nice view, convenient location near restaurants and metro (a few blocks directly north of peoples square exit 5,6,7,19, just past the big Marriott), easy checkin checkout, wired internet in room, wireless downstairs, excellent unltd breakfast

Central location just 5 min walk from Peoples Park Metro Stn and Nanjing Rd pedestrian Street. Room service anticipated our needs when supplies were running out.

The stay at Citadines was very good. Room was clean and well equiped with everything you need. The location was excellence and the service too. I will stay there again and recommend to friends.

女性３人で利用。場所は、地下鉄人民広場駅から、徒歩５分という表示でしたが、南京東路へも同様に、実際はそんなにかからない位近く、場所は最高です。１階には夜中でも営業のファミマがあり便利。部屋も大変清潔で、中国のホテルでは珍しく、スタッフも笑顔で親切でした。１ベッドルーム利用で、リビング、キッチン共に、大変広く、３人でもゆったりと過ごせました。タクシーもホテルの名前だけでＯＫ。中国の雰囲気を味わいたい方には、おすすめできないですが、外灘にも徒歩で行け、私達は、豫園まで、途中色々散策しながら、徒歩で きました。次回も是非！このホテルに宿泊したいと思います。
