UrCove by HYATT Shanghai Jing'an

The hotel’s location is excellent—just a short walk from the subway. However, neither the hotel’s website nor Trip.com clearly states which station is closest. For first-time visitors, take the subway to Wuding Road Station and use Exit 1, which is the nearest exit to the hotel. There’s a FamilyMart across the street, but it doesn't stock many decent food or snack options. Instead, if you turn left after exiting the hotel and walk about 150 meters, you’ll find a local fruit and vegetable shop, along with a great noodle shop—perfect for a casual meal. The hotel lobby gives off a relaxed café/bar vibe, serving drinks and snacks throughout the day. The room design is modern and cozy. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. I also liked that the bathroom and toilet are separate, which adds convenience. Minibar & Amenities The minibar includes a well-functioning refrigerator, complimentary snacks and soft drinks, and even a Nespresso coffee machine, which was a nice touch. There’s a self-service laundry room, which guests can use free of charge. Detergent is also provided. However, there are only three washing machines and three dryers, which is not sufficient for the number of guests. After a long travel day, many people head to the laundry room, so there’s often a queue. The dryers aren’t very hot, so drying takes longer—around 1 hour and 20 minutes per load—which creates further delays for others waiting. Fitness Center The fitness center includes two treadmills, one elliptical machine, a Smith machine, and a full rack of dumbbells. I can’t recall the brand, but the equipment was of good quality and well-maintained. Breakfast Given the Hyatt branding, I expected a better breakfast selection. Variety? It depends what you’re comparing it to. Compared to other Hyatt hotels in Thailand or other 4-star properties, this breakfast was underwhelming. In Thailand, I’ve experienced full breakfast lines with scrambled eggs, omelets, various egg styles, American breakfast items, Chinese and Japanese options, and high-quality bakery items. This hotel’s offering felt limited in comparison. Staff The housekeeping team was the highlight of my stay. In particular, the two ladies on the 5th and 6th floors provided excellent service. They kept the room spotless, were always smiling, and made me feel genuinely welcome.

Good amenity, hotel provides washer and dryer for free. You can get free drink water everyday.

Great Hotel in a great location. Love this hotel and have stayed there many times. It has a metro station around the corner, free on site self laundry, a gym and friendly staff.
