"I recently stayed at Yitel Premium and absolutely loved it! The location is amazing—right in the heart of the pedestrian street, so it's super convenient to walk anywhere. It's also really close to a famous Xiaolongbao restaurant, and DiDi drivers can pick you up right in front of the hotel. The hotel itself is very clean, and housekeeping did a great job cleaning my room every single day. The best part was that my stay coincided with my birthday, and the staff was so sweet to upgrade my room for free! The service here is top-notch. I also loved the complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby, and the free washing machine was a huge plus. The only minor things were a slight cigarette smell that probably came through the AC vents, which was understandable. However, the only real downside was that my room faced the main road, so the traffic noise was quite loud. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it!"

By day, it’s a forest of skyscrapers, and by night, it transforms into a dazzling display of lights. The room's amenities are well-maintained, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the triangular bathroom with a scenic bathtub is perfect for taking photos.

"The night duty manager at the hotel was excellent, efficiently and politely resolving the issue of our room not being cleaned. As an apology for the oversight, they offered two complimentary breakfasts, which they said were not usually included. However, upon arriving at the restaurant, we were met with disdain from the restaurant manager, who stared at me impolitely as if I was going to steal from the buffet. Another female manager behaved similarly. I wanted to ask, do I owe you money? Why is the male manager so enthusiastic towards foreign guests? Do I, a fellow Chinese national, not deserve your service? And to the other female manager, you are very observant; you immediately brought two cups of coffee after your supervisor arrived late. Don't guests who are not your supervisors deserve your service? As a Chinese person, I find such behavior utterly shameful."

[Coffee emoji] The hotel is right in the heart of the city center, surrounded by subways and shopping malls, making it super convenient for going out, shopping, and visiting attractions. We didn't waste much time traveling with the little ones, making our itinerary easy and stress-free. We specifically booked the Green Dream Space Slide Room, and as soon as we walked in, our child was ecstatic. The entire space theme created a wonderful atmosphere, with playful colors everywhere. The slide in the room was sturdy and smooth, and the safety measures were excellent. Our child spent the whole day happily playing on the slide repeatedly. There was no need to go out and find a playground; they could burn off energy right in the room, which was a huge relief for us parents. The room was clean and tidy, spacious without feeling cramped, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. It was very relaxing to rest after playing. The facilities were well-maintained, with no odd smells or dust in the corners, showing great attention to detail. For families traveling with children, this hotel offers excellent value for money. Its prime location combined with the popular themed slide room perfectly meets the needs of families with kids. Next time we visit Shanghai, we'll definitely prioritize booking this Space Slide Room again, and I highly recommend it to all parents traveling with children."
