Samokatus Hotels

Located in the heart of Shanghai's fashionable Xintiandi district, this lifestyle hotel offers stylish rooms, a wellness center, and exceptional personalized guest care. Visitors can step directly into a vibrant neighborhood filled with historic Shikumen buildings, trendy cafes, and upscale boutiques. While highly praised for its breakfast and staff, some areas of the property reflect its older age.

Sofitel Beijing Central pairs French elegance with a genuinely central Beijing location: spacious 50sqm+ rooms, dual‑aspect windows and strong concierge service are recurring highlights. Guests praise breakfast, the restaurants and helpful staff like Sunny, Ella and Jenson, but some warn the property shows signs of age and occasional AC/thermostat problems.

the Shanghai EDITION is a modern, design-forward hotel on Nanjing East Road with sweeping views toward the Bund. Guests consistently praise attentive butler-style service, Le Labo amenities and a strong breakfast offering, though a few reviews note occasional noise and issues with blackout curtains.
