Summer Solstice Book Fragrance Hotel (Shanghai Fudan University Branch) Reviews

Very nice and affordable place to stay for summer school, 10 mins walk from Fudan Uni. AC worked, no bed bugs, etc. We did find a cockroach in our bathroom once, but we just wrote the cleaner a note and they took care of it. My main impression is that the staff has a lot more to offer than you see at first glance, so if there's anything wrong, just ask! (:

The receptionists are extremely nice people who will lend you a helping hand when you need it. The cleaning staff are nice people too and commit to daily housekeeping. The location is ideally close to Fudan University through a 6 to 12 minutes cycling, with a good pharmacist nearby should you need help with local medicine (e.g., fever, cold) and there are convenient stores within a short walking distance. Access to 24/7 hot water, fridge, electric kettle and free room wifi. Additionally, there is a cabinet dedicated to deliveries and a backroom near reception for your packages. You can wash your clothes at the third floor above the reception area with the washing machine and manually dry your clothes. Just have to bring your own detergent, you can buy it on Taobao or the Lian Hua convenient store nearby. The only downside is that the place is old and maintained enough to function (don’t expect 4-5 star hotel furnishing standard), such as leaky celling and aircon not blowing cold air anymore (luckily it happened a day before my last day). Minor stuff like moulding ends of the shower curtain (typical because of humidity), chipped tables and dented flooring. It really depends on the room you get. All in all, this place is genuinely ok if you want to get some of these advantages, with these disadvantages in place.

It was dirty and smelly. For this price I have stayed in much nicer hotels in Shanghai.

Affordable accommodation but the amenities were sub par. I guess it’s okay for the price.

Room was clean, but AC wasn’t good working. And in my room no hair dryer.

I've been several times but the more I stay the less equipment I feel I get in the room. (No fridge, electricity plug are rare and bad located

Nice place with a convenient location. There is a shop in front of the hotel.

The room was big enough for one person but really smelly, and the bathroom hygiene was not good enough for me.

The price was OK, but could have provide more staff, the room wasn’t fully cleaned, quite old. The location is far from the city and cannot find any restaurants nearby. The floor is wet when I entered. But the cleaner is helpful.

We stayed there around one week, and it was probably one of the best locations in terms of price and space

Thanks for a great stay! Shanghai Seyi Serviced Apartment are a small walk to Fudan University, and Fudan metro station. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice, and there is a beautiful rooftop terrace on the 6 floor.

Location is great and they got a public kitchen and a laundry room

Great location when studying at Fudan. Everyone is very kind and helpful, the rooms are great and really all you need!

Neat and clean cozy room. Friendly staff.. recommended 👌
