I received a service from my manager, johnson, for 5 days. He was very friendly and very familiar with English. He upgraded the room condition i wanted for free, and thanks to him, I had a perfect vacation in shanghai. Also, all the staff were kind and i received good food, cleaning, laundry, and room service.

I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this hotel! They get a full ten out of ten from me! When people talk about a 5-star hotel, this is it! From the hotel decor, to the size of the room, to the room decoration itself, the level of staff professionalism (all staff: porters, housekeepers, reception, waiters/waitresses). A splendid experience! The cleanliness, the bed linen! Oh wow! I have so much to say! Congratulations Holiday Inn! You've absolutely nailed it with this hotel. I will be staying here for many trips to come.

There is nothing not to like about the Savhe Atour hotel! Its location is excellent; only a short walk to a beautiful part of the Bund and lots of great places to eat nearby. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, and every detail has been handled. The cherry on top was the service, in particular, Johnny and Ron who were always available to make sure our stay at Savhe was the most comfortable and enjoyable it could be. Thank you Savhe Atour for making our first visit to China so memorable! We will definitely be back!

This place was great, the apartment is modern clean and tidy and the host was very friendly and helpful with local experiences. The location is great for getting around the city and is a block away from 'The Peoples Square' which is a great place to find the branded shops and the crowds and the mall leads down to the 'Bund' for great city and river views. The host also has entry keys to the busy street below which is a great place for the Didi pick up or getting out and about on foot

    The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

    Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
