My family of five recently stayed at the Golden Tulip in order to be close to The Bund for New Year's. In fact, we were originally going to stay at the Radisson Blu but changed our ressie after reading the positive reviews on TA.||||We had one Deluxe Room and one Family Room. Both were pretty large and had good configurations - the Deluxe being a little more, well, Deluxe (but only room for two people). The family room had a small kitchen and dining table, which was perfect to have take-out meals or snacks. The odd thing about the Family Room was that it had a separate toilet at the front of the room by the door and then the shower and sink in another room. This was convenient for multiple people getting ready at the same time, but we kept going in the bathroom before remembering that there was no toilet in there. Oddly, the shower had the dreaded glass wall into the bedroom, which seemed like a very odd choice considering that this was supposed to be a family room. Even though you could push a button and the glass became opaque, you could still pretty much see through it. I really hate those glass walls since it's awkward for most families.||||The location could not be better. We had a great view of The Bund from our room and it was a very short walk to get there.||||We ate dinner at the restaurant one night thought it was really good. Service and food were great, so I'd recommend it. Especially since there are very few choices in the immediate neighborhood except convenience stores.||||In the lobby, there was a ping pong table and a basketball hoop-type game, which was fun. The hotel is not lavish or overly luxurious, but was stylish and clean.||||The front desk staff were a little curt upon check-in but proved to be quite accommodating and nice during the course of our stay. ||||Last, we never heard a peep from the other rooms. It may be one of the quietest sleeping environments I've ever been in. It was awesome.||||In conclusion, I would highly recommend this hotel for its location, perfectly acceptable rooms, peaceful and laid-back feel and overall value. Would stay again when...
Read moreA very stylish hotel which is very well located near a Metro and within walking distance of The Bund.This is really useful at night when you want to see the spectacular lighting of buildings along the river. You can also walk to Nanjing Street if you really want to see name brand stores. There was also a convenience store diagonally opposite which sold water and food. It was open long hours and the prices were good. No haggling. The rooms were excellent and the bathroom was hi tech. It had a rain shower, hand held shower and a separate bath. The water did leak under the shower door which was a little annoying. The breakfast was great with fabulous yoghurt and fruit. No muesli but endless cooked and cold choices. Even the coffee was good but strong. The wifi was ok but needed a bit of refreshing. Only two English TV channels. The staff at the front seemed to struggle a little with the check in process and English but the foyer is impressive and immaculate. We would stay...
Read moreI had a very disturbing and unacceptable experience at this hotel. My friend and I booked what was advertised as a regular massage, but it turned into something completely inappropriate. The masseuses repeatedly tried to seduce us, touched us without consent, and even suggested “upgrading” the package to include sexual activities.
Despite clearly saying we were uncomfortable and rejecting their advances, they continued to touch us inappropriately, including private areas. This was deeply distressing and amounts to sexual harassment.
Even more concerning, it seemed that the hotel staff were aware of this and supportive, as if this was a regular practice. It felt like the hotel had arranged this deliberately, which is completely unacceptable in a professional hospitality environment.
This was not just unprofessional — it was unsafe and extremely disrespectful. I strongly warn others, especially families, solo travelers, and anyone seeking a safe stay, to...
