MSG Curated Design Hotel Reviews

Location: Few minutes walk to people square subway and nanjing pedestrian shopping street. Many restaurants and malls nearby. Near Huanghe food street, near new world mall which has a large food court, across from that is another mall with more food options. There is also a convenience store on first floor that sells drinks. Service: Similiar to an airbnb. No lobby but Hotel staff responds quickly and asks if you want room cleaned and toiletries resupplied. They are very easy to communicate with. They provide 2 packs of disposable towels a day which are quite good. Amenities: Bed was comfortable and clean. Airconditioning works well. Washing machine can both wash and dry. Shower pressure and temperature was very good and washroom has advanced built in dehumidifier and exhaust features. Sink in washroom was too small, but kitchen sink was large and very useable. Large refridgerator provided. No kitchen utensils. Tv projector didn’t work well. Not enough places to hang clothes in washroom. Toilet is electronic but has no bidet. No smell of smoke anywhere except first floor. When checking in just directly message the hotel and ask what floor to go and ignore the three smoking security guards on the ground floor if you can’t speak chinese. Location on amaps is easily searchable as MSG hotel. Building looks a bit dated outside and unlike a hotel, but there are multiple luxury cars parked right at the main entrance and in the area, so the place is very quiet but not shady looking. Overall had a good experience and would definitely stay again.

highly recommend this accommodation — it’s very convenient, just a few hundred meters from the Bund. The room is spacious and comfortable, definitely worth it ❤

The apartment is very cozy with fantastic city view. The location is very convenient, very close to People's square and Nanjing road. The host offered cleaning service and free water. We also used the washing machine. The only missed some cups and plates to cook meals, so we went to the restaurants and cafes - there are plenty of them around the house. To sum up, the apartment is highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this homestay! The recipient was incredibly kind and helpful — even going the extra mile to help us collect a parcel before we arrived. Truly above and beyond! The room itself is beautiful and full of charm. The view from the property is absolutely stunning — a sweeping, picturesque scene that feels like something out of a postcard. It is a short walk to shopping district and metro station And from the room able to see Orential Tower. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a local, heartfelt experience!

Very glad to have chanced upon this property for my trip - the one-time use items were replenished daily. The location was splendid since it was within walking distance from Line 2 metro and the pedestrian street (7 min walk at max if you know how to cut through). And it’s within walking distance from the ever popular Lai Lai Xiao Long and Jia Jia Xiao Long. Both are a must try for everyone visiting! The service of the staff is beyond professional and helpful. They’d check in the timing of your arrival, provide you information in advance to ensure no screw ups and are readily available to resolve any issues encountered. It has been a breeze staying in this property and I immediately recommended this to my friends who are coming! Don’t be fooled by the unassuming outlook of the building. The interior and cleanliness of the unit is just as show in the images. Can’t wait to be back again!

A Surprising Gem in the Heart of the CityStayed: October 12–18 At first glance, MSG Curated Design Hotel might make you second-guess your choice—the building’s exterior doesn’t quite reflect the stylish experience that awaits inside. But once you reach the 10th floor, everything changes. The rooms are newly renovated, thoughtfully designed, and offer a comfortable retreat from the city buzz. What truly sets this hotel apart is the service. Responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring—the staff made us feel like we were in good hands throughout our stay. The location is excellent, and the overall experience more than makes up for any initial hesitation. Highly recommended for travelers who don’t mind the absence of a traditional front desk and appreciate great service and a central location—even if the building’s exterior doesn’t scream “boutique luxury” at first glance.

Nice and compact room for a good rest while we wait for our 2am flight.

Fantastic place. The location is great and the apartment was ample for us. Staff is also very helpful and responsive to our needs. Would recommend

The location is superb. Just 5 mins to East Nanjing road. Surrounded by lots of eateries and mrt. The room is clean, neat and comfy. The service staff on wechat is polite and efficient. Will surely stay here again the next time I visit Shanghai.

The place is just off Nanjing Pedestrian Street, which makes for easy shopping and offers great connectivity via People’s Park Station. Place is clean, comes with new fridge, a washer dryer which is good for those intending to do their laundry and plenty of clothes hangers. While there’s a kitchenette, I don’t think they’re expecting any use, since there’s no cookwares nor even cutlery. There’s just 2 small bowls which we used to drink the boiled water. They will message you via Trip.com a day before to check your arrival time. You can add them on WeChat for faster service. You will receive the door PIN for your room near your arrival time, and a staff will greet you and introduce the amenities and service if it’s within their service hours. They take up 2 floors in a mixed use building. We don’t hear any noise from the other floors but you do hear the sounds from next door occupants which may be disturbing if they returned late at night. There is no room cleaning and the cleaner will not enter the room when you’re away. Just message them to empty the rubbish and replenish the disposable stuff when you’re in the room during their service hours. Service is prompt. The actual room is nowhere as instagrammable as the shown pics, which was rather disappointing. Mayhaps the service jest about taking the sofa with you if you like had been taken literally by some to take the decors as keepsakes when they leave?

Clean and spacious room with comfortable bed. Location is great. Recommended!

Easy check in. Great location-very near with 南京路步行街。nice room

very good room to stay, all the amenities are there. superb location to travel around. hassle free and very kind service from the hotel

Will not comeback again because uncomfortable with the disposable towel, no bath mat and very limited utensil provided. We cannot enjoy our stay here.
