The Yuluxe Sheshan, Shanghai, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Wonderful stay ! A good place to build wonderful memories with friends. Lots of sceneries and fun-filled activities. The ambiance is really excellent. The scenery, the lake and the benches are comfortable and relaxing places to bond with friends. The room is clean and very spacious. They were hospitable to accommodated my request for a change of room. Food is delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend this place.

The hotel is located in a quiet area, slightly off the road, with beautiful and clean surrounding facilities, including a pond, swimming pool, and a sand playground for children. The outdoor pool wasn’t open yet for the season but looked very inviting. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, although the young man at the reception was a bit shy and spoke very quietly. The breakfast room was large but quite noisy, likely due to the public holiday and many guests with children. It was hard to find a seat during peak breakfast time. The room was spacious and clean, with a balcony and electric curtains. The service was excellent, and any issues, like a problem with the air conditioning, were quickly addressed even late in the evening. Additionally, there is an indoor swimming pool and a large fitness room that looked very promising, but due to our limited time, we couldn’t try it out.

Hotel was easy to get to and room was clean. However, there was a strange odour that was occasionally noticeable in the room, particularly if air-con had been off - slightly fishy/musty like when fabric has not been dried properly. Otherwise room was spacious and bathroom clean. Good amenities, including dressing gown for kids. The outdoor pool areas were great, kids loved it. Staff were helpful but struggled with English at times, but came through with help of translation apps. The breakfast buffet has plenty of options, but lunch/dinner options at the cafe/room service are not as plentiful and despite saying 24 hrs, is only available until 10pm. The Shandy bar, despite having a basic cocktail menu to view, was unable to make anything other than a margarita due to lack of ingredients, which was disappointing. The grounds and surrounds seemed well kept with lots of options for adventurous, older kids. Would not recommend the 'animal ranch' though, we had a quick look in but were then told we'd need to pay 98rmb which seems very overpriced given the place was littered with animal droppings and what we saw was not promising. They have 'pandas' ie painted/dyed dogs in a small enclosure which did not bode well. But overall, for a little getaway with kids who like the pool, this was an easy staycation.

Bob's service was excellent and very prompt. His service assisted us to enjoy a well deserved trip . Highly recommend.

We brought our 2 year old daughter here for 3 days and 2 nights. We had a okay but slightly underwhelming experience. The pros: The suite was large and spacious, and had a powder room attached to the living room The hotel was not busy (in the middle of November) and we enjoyed the peaceful and quiet atmosphere The hotel has several kid-friendly activities/amenities on site, including an artificial beach, indoor playroom and a small farm where you can feed animals The hotel is a relatively short drive from central Shanghai The hotel staff were generally friendly and helpful, and our butler kindly arranged for us to check in early The cons: The indoor playroom is dated and the air inside was stale. Despite it being closed for cleaning during lunchtime everyday, I noticed a fair amount of debris and hair in the ballpit and sandpit. While there was a good range of animals on the small farm, the animals were dirty and not well kept The separate area for feeding cats was also dirty and some of the cats did not look healthy The buffet breakfast was below average We ate at both of the hotel restaurants and found the food mediocre and overpriced

Nice hotel, the bedrooms are spacious with bathtub. The swimming pool is big but the water could be cleaner
