Hotels With Pools in Shanghai, China

Traveling with my kids, the location of this hotel is absolutely unbeatable – it's right in one of Shanghai's three iconic towers! There are tons of shopping malls nearby, perfect for retail therapy, and plenty of convenient dining options. Although I initially saw some reviews mentioning that the room decor wasn't brand new, upon checking in, I found the bedding to be very clean and the mattress and pillows incredibly comfortable. Usually, I have trouble sleeping in new places, but this time I slept exceptionally well. For this prime location and price, it truly offers the best value for money. There were also many international guests staying here. I'm really satisfied with this stay and will definitely choose this hotel again when I return, and recommend it to my friends.

This hotel in the Lujiazui business district offers incredible value for money. It has a classic Chinese old-money style, and the ***** New Year decorations were very detailed. The service was also top-notch. This time, I stayed in a Bund-view room in the Zijin Building, which had a full floor-to-ceiling window. I could lie in bed and watch the sunset in the evening, and then enjoy the illuminated historical buildings of the Bund at night – truly a feast for the eyes. The afternoon tea and happy hour at the 29th-floor Executive Lounge were more than enough to fill me up. There are also several other restaurants to choose from, like Yi Cafe, Yi Hai, and Jade 36. The breakfast buffet was extensive, with a great mix of Chinese and Western options. I'll definitely be back!

My nth time in Shanghai, and this time I really wanted a river-view room, so I chose the Kempinski, and it was a great experience! Waking up and opening the curtains to see the Huangpu River truly made this northerner very happy. It's right across from the Bund, next to the 'Three Piece Set' (Lujiazui skyscrapers), so the location is excellent and convenient. **Facilities**: The hotel's overall decor is decent, and the bathroom is really impressive. The shower, toilet, and sink areas are all separate and very spacious. **Service**: I was quite surprised that when I called the front desk and room service in the evening, no one answered… Also, I had to go downstairs to pick up my takeout myself, and there wasn't even a robot, which was also pretty shocking…

I booked a package at the Amari SPICE Penang through Trip.com. In addition to executive lounge access, it also included a Southeast Asian-style 'hand-grab' meal set (the 'hand-grab' part is a Thai term), served at 'Thai Ying' restaurant on the second floor of the SPICE Arena, which is in the same building as the hotel. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, blending a relaxed bar atmosphere with spacious and comfortable table spacing. Unlike other crowded restaurants where you almost sit back-to-back with other diners, there's plenty of room here. I was truly impressed the moment the food arrived; the extra-large woven serving basket looked much bigger than in the pictures, with more generous portions. It included shredded chicken and vegetable salad, grilled pork neck, crispy fried pork ribs, grilled fish fillets, pineapple seafood 'hand-grab' rice, and fresh fruit. The accompanying milk tea was rich and aromatic, sweet but not cloying, and the Tom Yum soup authentically captured the true Thai flavor. The dining experience was very pleasant, with all the staff providing enthusiastic and proactive service. Rose Zheng, in particular, not only reserved a window seat with a view for us in advance but also thoughtfully brought us complimentary post-meal desserts. Seeing that we couldn't finish all the food due to the generous portions, she proactively offered to pack it up for us. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience.

My recent business trip to Shanghai led me to the Novotel Shanghai Atlantis, and my overall experience far exceeded expectations – I simply have to write a glowing review! **Outstanding Location:** Situated in a prime spot, it's incredibly convenient for visiting attractions like the Oriental Pearl Tower and Super Brand Mall. The city views from the window are stunning, especially at night. **Stylish Yet Welcoming Design:** The lobby boasts a modern artistic flair, while the rooms are elegantly minimalist. The headboard design is distinctly 'Novotel.' What truly surprised me was the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window; it offered fantastic natural light during the day, and at night, watching the Lujiazui lights sparkle was truly uplifting. **Attentive Service:** From the efficient and friendly reception staff to the thoughtful greetings from housekeeping, every employee greeted me with a genuine smile. **Excellent Dining Experience:** The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, including local specialties and classic Western options. I particularly recommend their made-to-order noodle station; the delicious broth was a perfect start to my day. **Quality in Every Detail:** The soundproofing in the room was excellent, the bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the toiletries were from a premium brand. The gym was well-equipped, and there's an indoor pool, allowing me to maintain my fitness routine even while on a business trip. Whether you're a business traveler, a family, or a couple, this hotel caters to all needs. I've already recommended it to my colleagues, and the Novotel Shanghai Atlantis will definitely be my top choice for my next visit to Shanghai!

Our stay at Gokurayuku Hot Spring Hotel in Shanghai was such a relaxing and refreshing experience. After busy travel days and cold weather, this place felt like a true retreat. The hot spring facilities were clean, well-maintained, and incredibly soothing—exactly what our tired bodies needed. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and everything was thoughtfully set up for rest and comfort. We especially loved being able to unwind in the onsen after long days of walking and sightseeing. It was the perfect balance of Japanese-style relaxation right in the middle of Shanghai. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay and a great place to slow down, rest well, and recharge. We would definitely recommend Gokurayuku to anyone looking for a peaceful and unique hotel experience in the city.

This hotel catches you a little off guard. When the car pulled up I thought I was in the wrong place. It gives very strong Air bnb/bed and breakfast vibes because that’s what it is. The ppl that run the place are very kind. The owner I assume, was very kind and very friendly. He went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. Even gave me cold medicine as I was struggling adjusting to Chinese fall weather and had a bad cold. The young man that worked evenings helped me order food and was a life saver because I had no way else to eat. The breakfast was minimal but tasty. Dumplings, boiled eggs and I think congee. I don’t like congee so I didn’t eat any. And I was always greeted with a smile from the lady cooking. The coffee isn’t great. Instant packets, very blah and nothing to drink really except water. There isn’t much nearby to do, it’s not walkable and so I would not stay if you’re looking for night life or convenience. But it’s a nice relaxing, quiet place to stay with a very comfy bed, nice tub, close enough to the airport and good shower pressure. I would definitely stay again.

The Zootopia-themed room was a rare find, and the heating was excellent – a big plus! My daughter wore the short-sleeved dress provided in the room for photos and didn't feel cold at all. There's a laundry room with a dryer, which was very useful. On our first night, we checked in so late that my wife put her clothes in the dryer and immediately fell asleep. The next morning, we found that the staff had already taken them out, folded them, and put them in a bag for us – amazing service! They offer scheduled transfers to and from Disney every day, which is very convenient. The driver was proactive in helping us fold and retrieve the stroller. When we left, they provided a free airport transfer. On the narrow country roads, we encountered an oncoming car that wouldn't back up, so our driver courteously yielded, and we still made it to the airport on time at 6:30 AM. Everything was fantastic! Although the hotel is in a small town, there are barbecue places, fruit stands, and breakfast shops nearby, which was quite convenient.

This isn't my first business trip to Shanghai, but it's my first time staying at the Grand Park City Hotel. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund. Transportation is also very accessible. Manager Sunny at the front desk provided incredibly professional service, explaining everything we needed with great detail and patience. My friends and I stayed in rooms 1608 and 1616. The housekeeping staff on the 16th floor were very thorough and enthusiastic with their cleaning. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.

It's near to train station, hotel was grand, check in was smooth. Informed the hotel it's for our anniversary and they told us a complimentary cake will be given to us on the check in night but perhaps they forgot, nevertheless they gave a complimentary birthday slice of cake several days later. The shower and toilet bowl pressure were low, informed the front desk and they fixed it the same day and was great after that. Overall a good experience, but not an exceptional one.
