I noticed that the bulk of the bad reviews were from 4 or 5 years ago, I imagine a lot has been done by management to correct issues because I found this to be a unique and charming hotel. Dotted with antiques and memorabilia from the (mostly) 1920's & '30's this converted mansion oozes with old Shanghai charm. I read... More

We can fully recommend The Mansion Hotel, Shanghai is in the French Concession. My wife has stayed there twice and we will be staying here again hopefully for a trip in 2014. My wife stayed at the hotel at Chinese New Year in February 2010 for the first time and we both stayed recently at the run up to The... More

I went to visit my daughter who was living in Shanghai, and i asked her to look for an interesting, characterful hotel in the city which was central, convenient and which would not completely break the bank! the rooms also needed to have a good bath to lie back and relax in. The latter condition proved quite demanding but finally... More

Great location in the French Concession... nice staff and good service... breakfast is OK... but the place needs some updating - air conditioner is terrible in the rooms; a bit dusty and carpets need replacment; charming location for a couple of days.

I stayed there twice, as i do like the antique and art deco, i found it quite interesting. The old type of phone, record, foot stands.. the concept is pretty good. I was also recommended to friends who are in design and art busines to stay there/ However, the service is really bad, the waiters and waiteress not trainned as... More

We stayed in the hotel twice during our trip to China & found the hotel a great retreat from the normal hecktic China. The rooms are spacious and beautifuly furnished, we found all the staff helpful & plesant. With the garden providing a buffer between the hotel & the Husssel of the streets. It is located just one block back... More

Strange place. Evokes old Shanghai, spacioys lobby, nice change from business hotels but service is a disaster. Concierge sent me to wrong addresses, they hardlyt spoke English behind the desk, they do try hard but for a 5-Star hotel that is not enough. Have had better breakfasts in youth hostels! If you have a sense of humour, are travelling for... More

This place is touted as having a 'private club-like feel'. I found it to resemble a stinky old museum. The carpets, while thick, were dirty. There was a strong smell in every room- we tried 3. Booked for a week but it was so bad we checked out the first morning, even though we had paid in advance and were... More

This is a first rate hotel. The service that you receive is first class. The staff is extremely helpful. English is my first language and I was impressed with the staff's command of the language. I loved the feeling of stepping back in time when I was in this hotel. The rooms are exquisite. The hotel is beautiful and has... More
