The Yangtze Boutique Shanghai

I stayed at the Yangtze Hotel once before around 2018 and was glad to have a chance to visit again. I noted only one change, the ground floor restaurant is now separated from the rest of the hotel and breakfast is served in a few rooms on the 9th floor. Maintenance is excellent, the room designs are varied and interesting, sleep quality was wonderful and the location is convenient right across from Exit 14 of People's Square subway station. In cool weather the Bund is a pleasant 15-20 minute walk away (not so pleasant on a steamy Shanghai summer day). This is a really charming hotel, a bit of a time warp in the best possible way, and unlike any other hotel I've come across in China.

One of the better hotels of the four that we stayed in this trip. Our room was well appointed and the queen bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large, and had a bathtub in addition to the usual facilities. Free drinks were provided in the mini bar. Wifi was pretty strong, though there was the usual Great Wall block from accessing FB etc, even with a VPN. The location is pretty good, with the metro just steps away in Raffles City. Service was friendly and most of the staff had a smile for guests and helped them with luggage etc. The housekeeping staff were superb. Two of the concierge were super helpful, though the chap on noon duty on Sunday 26 May may need to be retrained. While sitting in the lobby, we noticed that he only smiled at and helped foreigners, and not those who looked Asian.

We opted for the Art Deco room category for complimentary limo transport and other treats! We have spent there four nights and five days. Our objective was an immersion in Shanghai, feeling its flavor and meeting with local friends in good condition—high standards amenities, caring personnel, splendid art Deco facade, and good breakfast. But on top of everything, the hotel location is unique: 200 meters to Nanjing Road, 5 minutes to Peoples’ Square, a 30-minute walk to the ancient city site… and Peoples Square Underground station with at least four lines. CNY 2599 per night for a two-bedroom room with breakfast included with direct booking sounds like a very reasonable price. NB: no room service. We will come back!

This is a lovely, small hotel near Peoples square. Its 1920's era with generous sized rooms, huge bathrooms and a very pretty entrance. The breakfast buffet on the 9th floor is great value and the staff are very helpful. The rooms are clean and well serviced with a turn down service every evening. The metro is nearby as are several convenience stores. There is limited parking out the front but we didnt have any problems getting Didi's to collect us. A very convenient spot.

This art deco style boutique hotel was a delight. The location is as good as it gets...literally yards away from a metro stop exit, it is close enough to see a lot of major attractions near and around the Bund and Nanjing Road. The room was very comfortable with some nice welcome touches - a fruit plate and candy. The concierge service was excellent. We were well serve by Ray who promptly took care of our taxi and tour recommendation needs. The only quibble may be the breakfast, which was ordinary, when so many alternatives abound in the area. All in all, we had a very comfortable stay, and will mostly likely go back on our next trip to Shanghai.
