Holiday Inn Express Shanghai on the Bund by IHG

I've never reviewed a hotel on Ctrip before, and I never thought a hotel like Zhixuan could go to such lengths. I have to point out that, perhaps due to the tourism festival, rooms near the Bund were hard to book that day, and prices weren't exactly cheap. They only had one room left, and it happened to be a family room. Honestly, I hadn't expected much from Zhixuan's family room, but the experience completely exceeded my expectations! Within half an hour of booking, the hotel's dedicated family room butler contacted me and added me on WeChat. They provided comprehensive and attentive service, explaining the hotel's amenities and child safety precautions, as well as providing nearby travel tips and a guide to the tourism festival. Upon arriving at the hotel room, my child and I were stunned. It exceeded our expectations. There are no other family-friendly rooms like this in downtown Shanghai. The slide, tree house, and ball pool in the room were perfect for the kids, allowing me to truly free my hands. It was also my child's first time experiencing such a novelty. She was so excited that she refused to go to bed until midnight, gazing up at the starry sky and refusing to turn off the ceiling light. The room was also thoughtfully stocked with snacks and fruit. Children's toiletries and bathrobes were also provided, and there were even plushies for the children as gifts. You can imagine it's just a smart choice. The hotel's location is impeccable. Right outside the door is Yu Garden and a three-minute walk to the Bund, making it very convenient for strolling around. The breakfast was varied and delicious. While the hotel isn't very large, it's understandable given its location in the city center. It had everything you need, and they thoughtfully provided children's tableware, which made the meal enjoyable for the child and a relief for us parents. Another pleasant surprise was the warmth of this hotel, which exceeded my expectations. The paintings in the work area and rooms were all created by children with autism. My son was the first to notice this and brought it to my attention. It's thoughtful and charitable. Details like these are truly touching, and they touched my child's heart. Highly recommended for parents traveling with children on weekends. You get what you pay for, and it's a truly unforgettable stay!

As the parent of a four-year-old avid slide enthusiast, we've practically stayed in every hotel room with a slide in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The slide room at this hotel was a fantastic overall experience. First, the slide is incredibly playable, with a perfectly designed slope and length. My daughter slid up and down countless times, even asking, "Let's just play in the room!" She couldn't move her feet at all. It's a truly relaxing experience for parents, perfect for when it's too cold or too hot outside, or during high-infection season. Adults can relax and chat in the room while the children have a blast. I plan to bring my daughter's friends along next time. The room was clean and tidy, with meticulous attention to detail. The only drawback was that the lighting was a little dim for the children; a brighter light would have been much better. Finally, a special thank you to Fanni for her warmth, friendliness, prompt response, and efficient problem-solving. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

Located right across from Yuyuan Garden, it offers excellent access to the garden. In the morning, there are fewer tourists, making it easy to get there, and at night, I was able to see the night view and quickly return to the hotel. As this hotel recently opened, all the amenities are new and comfortable. Drinks in the refrigerator are free, and two bottles of mineral water are provided in the room. The washing machine and dryer are also free to use, making it perfect for long-term stays. (You'll need to bring your own detergent.) The ride from the hotel to Shanghai Dongpu International Airport cost 120 RMB via Didi.

The location is very convenient, just across from the subway, and the price is high. Annie at the front desk is very polite, considerate and gentle. I highly recommend it! The surrounding attractions are very close and can be reached on foot.
