My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit jaded for a 5-star experience, but they did come well-stocked with toiletries, including some thoughtful extras like a toothbrush, shaving kit, and shower cap. However, the room temperature was uncomfortably high during my 5-day stay. The suite layout with a living room, bedroom, and spacious bathroom, complete with a warm robe and slippers, added a touch of luxury.

The service was a mix of highs and lows. While the staff extended all possible help and even assisted me with a language barrier at the Police Station, there were some lapses in customer relations lessons. On the bright side, they were always ready to assist with my needs, from calling taxis to providing umbrellas on rainy days.

The hotel is wonderfully located in the heart of the French Concession, surrounded by great shopping and dining spots.

The hotel is situated in the heart of the old French Concession, near the vibrant IAPM shopping district, offering a perfect location with numerous shops and dining options nearby. The service was a mix of courteous yet not overly imposing attitudes, providing a welcoming environment. However, the dining experience, while offering a good selection, fell short in terms of variety and appeal. The rooms, despite being well-furnished with city views, were disappointing due to cleanliness issues such as finding dirty tissue on the floor upon arrival.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were good and accommodating, with nice extras like a warm robe and slippers. The mechanically operated curtains were a cool touch but the cleanliness could have been better, and the heating was too warm with no way to adjust. The service was friendly, but unfortunately, there were instances of staff behaving inappropriately. The location was excellent, providing easy access to nearby shops and public transportation. The dining experience was decent, with a good selection of cuisines but not overly exciting. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
