Amara Shanghai

Everything was perfect. They even sent me a complementary Birthday cake to our room. Lovely stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Amara. John Liu of concierge was extremely helpful as well! And also Mara! So grateful for them! Super clean hotel and nice breakfast!

Extended again our stay at the Amara hotel. One of the best outdoor pools in Shanghai. Highly recommended!

The Amara was an amazing experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Soft beds and even softer towels. Even the shampoo felt luxurious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The pool was the perfect place to be in the Shanghai heat.

Overall, the stay was pleasant. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, except for one female staff who came across as blunt and unprofessional. The room was decent but could be more luxurious. Basic amenities like toothbrushes were just handed to us at check-in, which felt a bit cheap. The toilet door design was flawed and got locked by itself, but staff responded quickly to fix it. Soundproofing was poor—we could hear people from the corridor and next door clearly. Still, service from most staff was great and helped make the stay more comfortable.

The hotel was spacious, you can fit 2 large luggages in the room and still have ample space to walk ard. If only they had one more extra chair so my husband and I can sit comfortably. I find the bed comfortable enough, I like the automatic toilet bowl, the pressure for the water was just right. The helpers, service staff was very helpful and polite throughout our stay. They provided us with lots of water to make sure we are hydrated as the weather outside is really hot. The cleaner’s name is LIN or LING 阿姨， she was the one that took care of us throughout our 5 days. The room service food was way better than the one in JW Marriott for some reason. Please order the Xiao Long Bao and bolognese pasta. You can skip the pizza entirely, it’s bad. We ordered a bucket of ice, and there was a young boy who delivered our ice in the middle of the night with a huge smile, he said, “Hi”👋🏼with a hig happy smile and then a “BYE~”when he’s all done. He was so enthusiastic and it made our night. At the lobby, it’s pretty small, some taxis can’t find the entrance to the lobby, take a pic if you order a didi, so the driver may know what to look out for. The doorman was really nice, he helped us with our luggage’s in seconds, 谢谢你 Liu Xiao Xiu. I highly recommend the stay here as all the staffs seems like they have gone through a 5 star training program. It’s one of the most pleasant stay. I hope this review will not lead to a price increase on trip.com. Chang Shou lu has lots of hipster cafe and interesting restaurants ard the hood, so do you research and explore the neighbourhood.
