The Puli is well designed, very comfortable hotel. Rooms are on the small side for the price but very comfortable. There is a complimentary mini bar with soft drinks and beers which is a nice touch, a great Nespresso machine and fresh milk in the mini bar fridge - often overlooked in many hotels. Did not use the gym but... More

My wife and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary at the Puli last week (a 5 night stay from Scotland) and we give this hotel a big thumbs-up. We have stayed in luxury hotels all over the world and this for us ranks among the best on the basis of attentive hotel management. The Hotel Manager, his management team, and... More

I wish Trip Advisor would allow us to rate this a 4.5 out 5, as that is really what it is. The only "downside" is the hotels location, but it would only be a downside if you wanted to stay near the popular tourist area of The Bund. This is a wonderful hotel with great design and an even better... More

This hotel offers the best experience possible in Shanghai certainly and in China most probably (that I know of). The design, service, food and general ambiance and comfort are all of top standard. The pool and spa are spectacular, whilst the bar downstairs is ideal for weekday drinks (and attracts shanghai residents). The concept of "Urban Resort" is certainly successfully... More

My husband and I are holiday lovers and we make about 4 to 6 trips each year. We stay mainly in 4-5 star resorts for most of our holidays. The Puli Shanghai has been one of the best places that we stayed in. The room is nicely decorated and the rate is so affordable! Would highly recommend this hotel to... More

Overall a very good experience, probably the best I've had in Mainland China. The good: beautiful design throughout, good gym (didn't use the spa), staff mostly friendly and helpful, well-appointed rooms. When I asked to move to another room due to excessive noise, they did so swiftly and without a question. The could-be-better: Inconsistent housekeeping (sometimes refill fruit bowl, sometimes...

Puli is one of the most popular hotel as i heard of. The hotel was well designed but a bit too dark for my taste. Hotel and room is decor with dark wood and generally dark color, which i personally fond of Room configuration, for me, is a bit "scary". The bed is facing the washroom. Never against it, but...

What a pity, this hotel has so much potential! The hardware is the only thing that worked. We live in Shanghai and with my partner we decided to treat ourselves to a weekend 'away'. My friend told me they are busy for business travelers so they offer good rates on weekends. BIG mistake. We get a room with views to... More

We had high expectations on this hotel and we weren't disappointed. The location is ok as it is close to the French Concession and have some nice shopping malls nearby. Except for the very stylish and modern feel of the hotel, we loved how much effort has been put into the amazing lightning through out the hotel. Rooms are very... More

I absolutely believed this was going to be the most stunning hotel I stayed at in China. For certain, for my tastes, it had the best interior design. I loved my corner room - I loved the lobby - and the bed was fantastic. But there it ended. The rest was a complete joke. I really cannot be bothered to... More
