Donghu Collection Hotel

Nice hotel in a great area of Shanghai with friendly staff. Quiet rooms and close to nice places for coffee, brunch and dinner

Nothing

Nothing not to like - excellent facilities and staff - fantastic location - metro close by - restaurants and bars - great vibe French Concession area - now our go to place in Shanghai

Only thing is the carpet is very thick to move your case - a very little funny negative

Really nice location and, despite being a compact room, had everything you needed. Really nice toiletries and a Japanese toilet. Room had tea and coffee making facilities and the bed was very comfortable.

The location is amazing right in the heart of the French concession.

The staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming. The check-in experience wasn't the best, and the receptionist came across as quite cold. Unfortunately, check-out was no better. There was no "thank you for staying" or "hope you enjoyed your stay", just a very bland interaction that left an unfriendly final impression. I was told that breakfast was in another building and was simply pointed in the general direction. What wasn't explained was that it was actually across the road and not connected to the hotel. Knowing that at check-in would have saved some confusion. The room itself was also disappointing. It was very small and the layout wasn't particularly practical. It would probably have been fine for a one-night stay, but I was there for four nights, which made the lack of space much more noticeable. I also wasn't keen on the layout. Opening the door gave a direct view of the bed, which made the room feel less private than I'd expect from a hotel. It wasn't a layout I found particularly comfortable for a longer stay. Storage was also limited, and the open wardrobe by the entrance wasn't particularly practical. It made the room feel more cluttered and offered very little space to unpack properly. I never actually made it to breakfast. It was pouring with rain every morning, and as I had to go outside with an umbrella to get there, I decided to eat elsewhere while exploring the city. In the end, I found much friendlier service at the cafés and restaurants nearby.
