ibis Hotel — Hotel in Shanghai

The hotel is located - as the name suggests - right in the center of Shanghai within walking distance to the Yu Garden metro station and Yu Garden itself. The Bund as well as the French Concession and other tourist destinations are easily accessible by metro. The rooms are perfectly clean and well-organized as well as surprisingly spacious for a city hotel.||||There is some construction outside, but it stops after 7 p.m. and the well-insulated windows block out any noise very well. ||||The staff is incredibly helpful - I would like to especially point out Sara from the reception, who helped my father find his phone that he lost on a train on the way to Hangzhou whilst remaining incredibly friendly and well-organized with also accommodating other guests.

I stayed in room 535 literally right near the elevators so the noise levels every morning was a bit much but other than that, if I were to ever visit again I would stay here but request away from...

I had a 24 hour layover and chose this hotel because I wanted to see how stunning the Yu Garden was. Honestly it was a bit difficult to find the hotel at first because Google map is not available in China. However, seeing the beautiful lights and the unique architecture of the Yu Garden made it all worth it. This hotel was so conveniently located to the garden but a bit tucked in. My room was spacious and clean, just a bit tiring to get to my room when having to drag my heavy suitcase down the very long carpeted hallway. The staff do not really speak English, and were not very helpful when I had WiFi and TV issue. I think this hotel is good to stay for a couple of nights because of the great value and it being so close to major attractions and not just for a layover, and I had to learn that...
