We stayed here for 7 nights for the 2019 Grand Prix. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the Anting metro station which is just 3 stops on the metro to the Shanghai Circuit (15 minutes max) so the location was perfect. The hotel is very, very clean in every part we visited so if that is something you look for, the Urban Island is the place for you. The staff could not do enough for us with Julie, Emma, Amy and Edward all standing out for a special mention. The breakfast had everything you wanted and if it was not there all we had to do was request it and it was cooked for us. Continental, western with bacon/eggs/beans/mushrooms/tomato and traditional Chinese foods were all available. All facilities were extremely clean with beautifully furnished rooms. Towels are changed every day even if you don't request it which was a nice touch. Tea and coffee making facility in the room which you do not get everywhere these days with 2 complimentary bottles of water every day. The hotel grounds are stunning. We spent about an hour watching an old Chinese man fishing in the hotel moat with his wife paddling the boat. It was so calm and peaceful. All in all I could not find any fault with the hotel at all and I would certainly recommend it, not just for F1 visitors but for family breaks too. Luxury at a mid range price so exceptional value for...

Read moreStayed from 20th. November till 26th. Very grand in the old style,GM & staff very helpful. Room was very good but could be a little bit brighter at night. Food, especially breakfast, was fantastic most of the time. Took a walk around and realised it had a 'moat' around it ..so it is really an island..kind off...||A short walk out to the main street and you can access more restaurants and malls if thats your kind of thing. ||I was there for a race event at the Shanghai International Circuit and the Urban Island is convenient and just 20 odd minutes away. ||My bosses from France and the team (from Europe,UK,Australia,Singapore & Macau) have nothing but praise for this hotel..so yup, highly recommended if you need to be in this part of...
