Metropolitan Seclusive Life In Wukang rd Shanghai anmeldelser

I was truly impressed by the stunning architecture of the building—it was absolutely beautiful and full of character. The room was lovely, especially with the greenery terrace that added a serene and refreshing touch. Breakfast was delicious, and the afternoon tea was delightful. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, which made for a restful and deep sleep. The location was perfect for exploring the area on foot—right in the heart of the old concession district, with easy access to historical sites like Wu Kang Mansion and charming streets to stroll through. Highly recommend for both the atmosphere and the convenience.

A Hidden Gem on Wukang Road The hotel’s location is simply perfect—nestled in the heart of the former French Concession, along the tree-lined Wukang Road. Towering plane trees form a lush green canopy overhead, their branches intertwining like endless emerald tunnels. The neighborhood is dotted with charming boutiques and cafés, making it ideal for leisurely city walks.   The building itself is a masterpiece of architecture—an exquisite work of art. Though compact, it offers just the right amount of space for a tranquil retreat.   Our room was incredibly comfortable, featuring a spacious terrace that opened directly into a small garden. The view was a sea of greenery and blooming flowers. We kept the French doors wide open, letting in the gentle spring breeze. In the evenings, we spent hours on the terrace sipping tea, chatting, and reading. The book left thoughtfully by our bedside, *The Golden Branches and Jade Leaves of Shanghai*, was so engrossing that I couldn’t put it down—even during my bath!   Breakfast the next morning was delightful. Alongside the expected Western-style breakfast set (fitting for a heritage mansion), there was a sweet and unexpected touch: a warm bowl of pumpkin millet congee.   But what truly stood out was the exceptional service. We had ordered two bicycles to bring back to Singapore, but due to reinforced packaging for air transport, they exceeded the airline’s size restrictions. With limited time before our flight, we had to arrange last-minute shipping to a logistics hub in Guangzhou. The front desk staff—Ivy, Ace, and Boris—handled everything with remarkable patience and efficiency. They took charge of the freight arrangements, allowing us to leave for the airport without a single worry.   My only regret? Not finishing that captivating book. I suppose I’ll have to return to the Metropolitan Seclusive Life in Wukang to read the rest.

Nobody speaks English. Ambience of hotel is great, renovated old classic villa in heart of French concession. Breakfast is fixed, no options, reminds state operated facility(. Parking on territory.

It’s my favorite neighborhood to be in the French concession, walking distance from all my favorite western and Asian restaurants. Wukang/anfu road, such busy during the day especially weekends and yet our hotel is so quiet at night. My room was cozy, 100 years old building with a lot of charm. I would choose this hotel again. Breakfast is not a la carte. Staff is kind, speak little English Mother and 8 years old son from Belgium

Superb hospitality and good location around French concession area. Service staffs was excellent. Very helpful, responsive and great service.

Beautiful old villa,very kind and efficient staff. Excellent location!

Room is much smaller than shown, but service is good and location is great.

Beautiful hotel great service

I stayed there for two nights as I wanted to experience the historical mansion in Shanghai for the architecture, artistic and histories. This hotel is hidden in the quiet neighborhood with excellent services. The location is A plus to city walk sightseeing and near all city center sites.

This experience was beyond any of my expectations. The location of the hotel itself is a wonder- it didn’t feel like we were staying in one of the most central parts of Shanghai. It was quiet, tucked away from the bustling traffic and noises of big city life. The staff are a whole other side to our stay that is worth a paragraph in itself. I noted in my booking that we were coming for an anniversary stay, and were not only upgraded upon arrival, but were greeted with a delicious bottle of wine, fresh fruits, and attentive staff members that carried a pleasant yet professional attitude with every interaction. We now know where we’ll be staying for our future trips to Shanghai! I definitely recommend a stay here to anyone seeing this!

This is a wonderful stay in Shanghai, my husband and me love it so much. We will definitely come again ❤️

A perfectly located, well decorated boutique hotel with friendly and helpful staffs. One suggestion will be installing USB charging ports for modern travelers.

We travelled as a family and stayed for 8 nights. The hotel is very pretty and quiet

Great location and service!
