I stayed here in a double room for 10 days and it was great! Our room, overlooking the gardens, was absolutely quiet and we woke to singing birds every morning. The beds were very comfy, the bathroom good size, the Internet (cable connection) worked reliably, plenty of international news channels on the TV. Loved the enormous breakfast buffet, too, with...

The hotel is very clean and has many amenities in the room. The staff are helpful, although they do not speak much English. While it felt comfortable to stay there, the restaurant downstairs has a very limited menu with almost no dishes that do not contain pork, so I couldn't eat there. Moreover, the area around the hotel is very... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. While it was a relatively nice hotel I thought it was a bit far away from everything. We needed to use the Subway all of the time. Not as many things within walking distance and the area not as nice as I thought. The room we had was very small, no espresso machine in our... More

A nicely decorated hotel that has been well-maintained. There were a couple of weddings hosted during our stay. Good location for shopping. Be sure to pick up a card at the reception desk. You can hand this to a taxi driver so he will know the hotel address. More

as other reviewers point out, this is a lovely hotel in a great location. the breakfast buffet isn't as good as that of comparable hotels in china, but it well does the trick. there are espresso coffee makers available both during the buffet as well as in each room (and it's complimentary). there's also free internet in the room. the...

This was the first hotel we stayed at with Wendy Wu tours on our trip to China and we where not disappointed. Everything you needed was provided in the bedroom - internet access, iron & board, tea making facilities, hairdryer, safety deposit box. The room was light and airy and of good standard of decor. It compared favourably with any... More

Lots of hotels are comfortable and provide good service, but there aren't that many that have the ambience of AVH. Set in its own grounds off a quiet street, its the ideal place to relax after a busy day in Shanghai. Locally (10-15 min walk) there are bars, smart shops and restaraunts and parks to visit. The hotel has a... More

Traveled to Shanghai for pleasure and to visit expo. Wanted to stay in the French concession, and while not right in the heart was very convenient. Looks from the outside can be deceptive, looks a little garish but inside very clean. Daily buffet breakfast good, 5 minute walk to underground - rail system fantastic, world class, good English signage and... More

This place is close to Hengshan Road and all that has to offer. It is used heavily for Shanghai weddings. The rooms were small and dated, but the a/c worked. I think I paid around RMB450. Overall, I wouldn't return and I would choose something a bit more updated instead. The staff were rude (most in the Shanghai hotel industry... More
