This was a 2 night stopover for us and it was perfect. Being out of the tourist area meant we had a quiet place to go to home to but so easy to access everything on the excellent Metro system. The room was fabulous: spacious, super big comfy bed, excellent shower and very clean. I would highly recommend staying here while visiting Shanghai. We also had fabulous service from Mr Johnson, who made it his personal mission to make sure we were and had everything we needed.

It was relatively late on the day we arrived, and the boss still came to the door to take us to check in!! He is quite kind and nice! Next time I come to Shanghai, I will still give priority to staying here, especially those who have a Disney itinerary! The rooms are also quite beautiful and easy to take photos.

We stayed at Shanghai Lemon Deluxe Room南京东路步行街 with our family and had an amazing experience. The location is absolutely perfect – just steps away from East Nanjing Road, with countless cafés, restaurants, and street food options all around. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and very cozy, with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The gated courtyard with a garden creates a peaceful and safe atmosphere, which we appreciated a lot. Communication with the host was easy and pleasant, they were always ready to help and very responsive. The apartment is also very close to the metro station and within walking distance of major tourist attractions. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend these apartments to anyone visiting Shanghai!

    The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

    Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
