MSG Curated Design Hotel

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!

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.

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?
