SSAW Boutique Hotel Shanghai Hongkou

it was very clean, and they give water bottles everyday without cost.

it was 1.6 kg from the metro station

As we expected.

Big room, nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. Staff was nice and helpful.

Location was just not great. Its okay that it is a bit further from the center, the problem is that it is a 20 min walk MINIMUM to the metro, after that the metro ride is quick but after a long day that 20 min walk sucks.

Room was comfortable and clean

Staff is not really interested in welcoming people no one greets The biggest issue is language barrier

The room is quite big and the bathtub is very luxurious. The bed was comfortable and big.

But the window was very dirty and could see a view. The locations is far away from the city centre. The staff was struggling with English.

The room is really nice, clean and well organized. Metro station is around 15 minutes by foot and there’s a lot of stores nearby and restaurants

The breakfast is good, the rooms are very clean and modern.

The rooms are kinda small

The hotel has an amazing breakfast and offers nice views if you have a room on higher floors.

Occasionally weird smell in the bathroom (probably due to smoking in other rooms)

Room looked nice and it was clean.Good breakfast.

Horrible location, pretty far from anything and far from the underground stations or bus. Staff doesn't speak English, very hard to communicate even with the translator. Had dinner there one night and they didn't even have olive oil. The room didn’t have complimentary tea bags/coffee or complimentary toiletries. Strong smell of cigarettes in the corridors and the spa looked pretty rough.

The hotel facade is not good but when you get inside everything is nice, and the room is very special. Loved the coffee, mattress, soap and shampoo very top, and the blinds were efficient to block the sunlight.

The breakfast could have more fruits, despite of having a lot of options and be rich.

Nice complimentary coffee and soft drinks in the room. Breakfast

I had a non-smoking room, I don't smoke and I could clearly feel the smell of cigarettes in my room as if someone was smoking there for ages. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, no place to eat around.

Clean, bed and pillows so comfortable. Enough space for business trips.

Huge room with a very comfortable bed. Heavy luxurious-feeling duvet / linen, fairly big windows for natural light. Breakfast had great variety, mostly Chinese breakfast items, but also some pastries. I liked that they had multiple brewed teas on offer (fruits come late though :(). There's even a sofa and bathtub next to the window, as depicted on the pictures. Going from Pudong international airport to the hotel by public transportation does take 1.5-2 h, but costs only 7 RMB (1 USD) and the bus will deliver you almost right in front of the hotel. Also, just a few minutes down the street from the hotel is a huge shopping mall complex - great for some shopping and food!

Location: For where I was going, I had to most often walk to the Fudan University metro stop. That's about 20 min on foot (and the buses weren't coming frequently enough to make waiting worth it). | Room: An actual chair would be useful to work on a laptop. The room has a little bench with no back. | Service: This is a small detail, but I wished fruits would be available on time and for the duration of breakfast: for the first two mornings, it wasn't available for the first 25 min of breakfast (and then I had to leave), on my last morning, the fruit bowls were already removed 20 min before breakfast time was closing...

Hotel was spotless. Room was large. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

Cigarette smell inside the hotel from time to time.

Not much actuallyStaff try but the complete lack of English and lack of understanding of foreign western guests was extremely frustrating. They appear to have all the old SSAW Narada Boutique hotel furniture. They said as much and if they compare themselves to the old Narada, its chalk and cheese. Breakfasts were sub standard and I found the place to have an unclean uncomfortable feeling during my stay. The staff tried, however it did not help. I believe there is one young lady that is over worked and they expect her to do all the drudge work like help guests with luggage collect luggage etc. It was quite unpleasant. I will not stay there again. Their only saving grace was the laundry. the machines were clean and new and worked well. I loved the self dispensing soap and fabric softener during a wash cycle. The tumble dryers worked well and it was clean.

- nice room - great breakfast - Clean

- smoke smell- distance to Metro / City Center

Everything about this stay was okay. The building feels a bit tired, the room is okay-sized. The concierge was helpful. Didn't try breakfast. Good quality free tea and coffee in the room. I chose it for the price, but during my stay in Shanghai I stayed at better, more conveniently located hotels which had better value for money.

Not particularly close to anything so the position is not great.

Everything was high quality, from breakfast to bedding, room furnishings and amenities. Quiet, pleasant rooms. The complimentary supper from 2130-2230 only consists of leftovers from breakfast, but hey, it's free! The bucking horse in the hotel gym on level 5 was hilarious. The complimentary laundry and dryers were some of the nicest I've seen in a hotel.

Unfortunately there was smoking on some of the floors, although thankfully no smell in the room itself. Note that the Google and Didi locations may not be accurate if self-navigating; we found that they gave us completely wrong directions. The best way to get there on foot is subway line 8 to Quyang Lu station, then walk 1.5km north on Quyang Lu. It is close to Bailian Quyang Shopping Mall, on the opposite side of the road. Reading the address numbers on the sides of the buildings helped us find it.

The breakfast is awesome, both healthy and tasty. And you could choose from different variety. We enjoy the eating atmosphere.

None. Everything is good.

The design and the restaurant

Maybe install safebox.
