I'll stay at this hotel whenever I come to Shanghai. It's nice and affordable!!!

Sofitel Shanghai Jing'an: A Mixed Bag of Pros and Cons I had the opportunity to experience the standard room, executive room, and suite at Sofitel Shanghai Jing'an. Let's start with the positives. First, the price is quite attractive. The standard room is around CNY 1,000, and while the space isn't extremely spacious, it's quite adequate. The executive room usually meets the needs well, and even the suite, with its larger area, sofa, dining table area, and spacious bathroom, is priced at only CNY 3,000. Second, the location is excellent, close to North Bund and White Magnolia Plaza, within walking distance to Seagull Hotel, and near a community hospital for convenient medical care. Third, the suite's toiletries are from Acqua di Parma, of high quality, and the cleaning staff is attentive and proactive in asking if you need extra sets. Fourth, the hotel has a strong service mindset, and even during busy times, they greet guests with enthusiasm. The public areas are beautifully designed, attracting many beautiful ladies for photos every day. I stayed here for nearly half a month due to illness, and the staff on the 21st floor took great care of me, even bringing a large humidifier when they saw me coughing, which touched me deeply. I wrote a thank-you letter when I left. However, there are some drawbacks. As a newly built hotel, some rooms inevitably have a strong odor, and even with two air purifiers provided by the hotel, it's hard to eliminate completely, making it less suitable for guests sensitive to smells. I had a thrilling experience once when I booked a standard king room due to a flight delay, and the next day, I found the room door open when I returned. Fortunately, the hotel handled it well, upgrading the room and apologizing sincerely, resolving the issue satisfactorily. Additionally, the breakfast selection is relatively limited, but the taste is decent, though it can get crowded during peak dining times. Overall, if you need to stay in this area for business or other reasons, this hotel is a good choice, offering good value for money and decent overall performance. However, if you're sensitive to smells, consider carefully.
