Aijia Xiaoyuanzi Hotel (Shanghai Bund Branch)

Let me tell you about the hotel experience, starting with the room itself. The room was comfortably large for two adults and one small child, but I wouldn't recommend it for more people. The highlight was definitely the large projector, which was perfect for watching movies after a long day of sightseeing. The view of the river from the window was also very nice. The bed was comfortable but a bit small; it would have been nicer to have a queen-size bed instead of a double. The room had a slight smell—I'm not sure if it was from the cleaning products—but it was completely fine after I opened the large window. I can't say the same for the hallway and lobby, though, as both had an unpleasant smell. The hotel offers some gym equipment, as seen in the photo, but there is very little. Instead, I ended up renting a bike each day for my morning workout. Honestly, I believe Shanghai is one of the most beautiful places to bike, with so many wonderful things to see. Another thing I didn't like was that mid-stay, we stopped having hot water. I can only assume the cleaning person closed the hot water heater, as we had to reopen it to get hot water again. This is just something to keep in mind. The location is not the best, but it's actually great if you don't mind walking for 30-40 minutes or taking a taxi. There aren't many restaurants nearby, but it's easy to use a delivery app to get food right at your door. Overall, for the price we got on the app, the stay was good. The hotel didn't over-deliver but was as expected for the price. I wouldn't pay 700 RMB for the room, but with the discount, it's totally worth it if the hotel experience is not a top priority and you're just looking for a cheap, comfortable place to sleep. Also, the room wasn't super clean, but it was acceptably so.

Hotel does not live up to it's name called loving home. Only plus is its location that is 'biking' distance to the bund otherwise will not choose this 'hotel'. Checked out next day although originally booked for many more days stay. When checking in, we waited for quite long for reception to notice our arrival and attend to us. Lobby has no decent space to stand (we walked in with only 2 human and 1 suitcase), as it was very clustered full of other random stuffs at its lobby area. Found one sofa to sit on while waiting and it was old and should be replaced soonest. Dislike to see notice to guest that ask for deposits for quite a few items which is supposed to be included in the room rates (see picture enclosed). When entered our room not only that it was not quite the same as photos seen online/expected. The river view was narrow and disgusted by the super dirty window. Looking out another window even has very unpleasant rubbish cluttered right outside of window. The whole apartment was dirty and it did not seem to have been cleaned up before our stay. Not to mentioned the toilet is the worst I ever seen!! Mould all over shower curtain, half hanging almost fall out, loosen taps and very dirty floor areas. Walls, kitchen, infact all areas are dirty. This place is a MUST AVOID especially the riverview room! I checked out next morning after a briefed sleep as i arrived near midnight on the check in day needed to rest. I then checked in to Ji Seasons hotel group with only a little higher price but totally peace of mind, comfortable stays for the rest of up days in Shanghai. Trip should review this accommodation of this standard to maintain your reputation.

The facilities are nice, the location is good quiet place and close by car to the tourist places, lack of cleaning and maintenance, the kitchen utensils were dirty, I had to wash them many times and left them clean.

Great location, too bad there's no water in rooms, but was an ok stay. Good for the price.

Stay at level 4 bad experience with no lift and no people help to carry the luggage

The room is fine, although we dont get bottle, no kitchen utensils (you have to rent 100 yuan) . But i honestly said, its not that special . Just okay
