OPARTMENT The Far Eastern Hotel — Hotel in Shanghai

I was astonished by the exterior when I first arrived at Ôpartment. It has a sense of history in the building, surrounded by popular spots for city walk. My family and I were greeted by a fellow young man who offered to help our struggling hands with our luggage. Walking into the hotel, we encounter the modern looks of the lobby. By the registration counter, there is a table with coffee and cups for us to take away. I really liked the organisers at the back of the registration counter that holds room keys in each box.Going up the lift to our designated floor, the elevator door opened up to a gate, one that would remind me of the olden days, of Harry Potter, even. To gain access, we simply swipe our card at the side of the gate.It seemed as pets are allowed, we saw three dogs playing around at the hallway. It doesn’t smell bad so it didn’t bother us. The hotel room is very spacious and clean. There were magazines about the hotel, television, a kitchen with plates and bowls and utensils, a comfy bed, and of course the bathroom.As it is my birthday this April, a kind sister called Vicky who works there brought me a cheese cake. It was quite surprising to come back to the room to see a cake by the table. It was sliced into three pieces, just the right size for my mum, dad and I. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night. While my mother checked-out our room, I observed the notebook they left on the table to the left of the registration counter. There was a mirror in front of the notebook, and a pen beside it. It is a notebook left for guests to write and draw on. I asked the staff if I could bring it up to the top floor, a bar with pretty interior designs, to draw on the notebook. So I did.The bar was probably closed, or maybe it is more popular by night, since there were nobody there except for one man who I guess works there. There were many wine bottles and flowers, plus a balcony with great view. I drew on two pages of the notebook, taking my time as they allow me to. When I went back down to show them my proudly done work, the staffs were all excited and shocked to the point they snapped pictures and even gave me a notebook of the same design as a souvenir. At last, we had to part and say goodbye. When the car that is supposed to pick us up arrived, two or three of the staffs (noticeably all of them are pretty young) helped us with our luggage and carried it to the car for us. I’ll have to say, this is one of the most unique hotel I’ve...

There are not many Google reviews about this place so writing this one.

Absolutely fantastic stay at OPARTMENT The Far Eastern Hotel Shanghai! Our two-bedroom apartment was a perfect blend of comfort and style.

The spacious 1087-square-foot apartment offered stunning city views and was impeccably clean. The layout, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a sitting area, provided ample space for relaxation. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights.

The hotel's art deco style adds a touch of elegance, making it a standout boutique experience in Shanghai. Modern amenities like the 50-inch Smart TV and free WiFi kept us connected and entertained.

Location is unbeatable – just a short walk from public transportation and only 0.38KM from People's Square subway station. It's also conveniently close to major attractions like the Bund.

The rooftop bar is a must-visit, offering great drinks, light snacks, and breathtaking views – perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional staff. The front desk team, available 24/7, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Special mention to Vicky and Jonny, whose excellent English skills and helpfulness made our stay even more enjoyable.

The daily housekeeping service maintained our apartment beautifully throughout our stay, and the ability to communicate with staff via WeChat was incredibly convenient.

OPARTMENT The Far Eastern Hotel Shanghai offers the perfect blend of apartment-style living with hotel amenities. It truly felt like a "home away from home" in the heart of Shanghai. We'll definitely be returning on our next visit...

I had trouble checking in as my booking was not found in the hotel system. But Vicky from front desk and the Trip.com customer service team were very helpful in rendering support and resolving the issue. Vicky offered to get us coffee and stored our luggage so we could go explore when they worked on the issue. She added me on WeChat so that she could constantly update me the status through the day. Besides the check in issue, the hotel stay was great, room was spacious and comfortable, there was also a washing machine and dryer which was convenient. The only downside is that the walls are a little thin since it’s an old heritage building, so we could hear our neighbour occasionally. Location is super convenient, just walking distance to Renmin Square and Nanjing Road. There is no breakfast provided within the hotel, but they tied up with the bakery next door and the service crew gets coffee/pastry there and deliver it to our room every morning. Vicky’s service didn’t stop after we checked out, she even dropped text to check if we arrived at the next destination safely. Overall a great stay, kudos to Vicky and team for making our stay in Shanghai...
