Aijia Xiaoyuanzi Hotel (Shanghai Bund Branch)

Lad mig fortælle jer om hoteloplevelsen, startende med selve værelset. Værelset var behageligt stort til to voksne og et lille barn, men jeg ville ikke anbefale det til flere personer. Højdepunktet var helt sikkert den store projektor, som var perfekt til at se film efter en lang dag med sightseeing. Udsigten over floden fra vinduet var også meget flot. Sengen var behagelig, men lidt lille; det ville have været pænere at have en queensize-seng i stedet for en dobbeltseng. Værelset havde en let lugt - jeg er ikke sikker på, om det var fra rengøringsmidlerne - men det var helt fint, efter jeg åbnede det store vindue. Jeg kan dog ikke sige det samme om gangen og lobbyen, da begge havde en ubehagelig lugt. Hotellet tilbyder noget fitnessudstyr, som det ses på billedet, men der er meget lidt. I stedet endte jeg med at leje en cykel hver dag til min morgentræning. Helt ærligt, jeg synes, Shanghai er et af de smukkeste steder at cykle, med så mange vidunderlige ting at se. En anden ting, jeg ikke kunne lide, var, at vi midt i opholdet holdt op med at have varmt vand. Jeg kan kun antage, at rengøringspersonalet lukkede varmtvandsbeholderen, da vi var nødt til at åbne den igen for at få varmt vand igen. Det er bare noget, man skal huske på. Beliggenheden er ikke den bedste, men den er faktisk fantastisk, hvis man ikke har noget imod at gå i 30-40 minutter eller tage en taxa. Der er ikke mange restauranter i nærheden, men det er nemt at bruge en leveringsapp til at få maden lige til døren. Alt i alt var opholdet godt for den pris, vi fik på appen. Hotellet leverede ikke for meget, men var som forventet til prisen. Jeg ville ikke betale 700 RMB for værelset, men med rabatten er det det hele værd, hvis hoteloplevelsen ikke er en topprioritet, og man bare leder efter et billigt og komfortabelt sted at sove. Værelset var heller ikke superrent, men det var acceptabelt.

Indeklimaet var middelmådigt og ikke rent. Der var gule pletter på toiletsædet; jeg ved ikke, om det var urin eller noget andet. Alle dørhåndtagene havde fedtpletter. Da jeg kogte vand for at lave instantnudler om aftenen, fandt jeg urenheder i kedlen.

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.

Great place right by the riverside (literally 20m walk away). slightly inconvenient because of location and there are construction works directly infront of the entrance (not hotel's fault). Staff is friendly and ready to help. Overall good place to stay. The room is clean, with a washing machine and, microwave.

Great place to be with the family

A bit far from public transportation, and quite noisy — you can clearly hear people talking in the corridors. The furniture also looks old and isn’t in great condition.
