Independent, Luwan - Xintiandi Hotels

Hotel felt rather luxurious from the entry foyer to the room. The bathroom was well appointed with a fantastic shower that actually had decent water pressure. Our room overlooked the houses and some low rise buildings. The room was very quiet with a firm mattress, but not too firm compared to most Chinese standard of beds. Train a 10 minute walk away. It costs about $40AUD from the airport in a taxi doing 140km/h. Should have learnt to say slow down in Chinese.

I really liked this hotel It is simple and easy to find and has nice basic services. They have great prices and I liked the simple business breakfast. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic close to subay

Excellent location, friendly front desk Staff, very comfortable room with sitting area and desk. The alley that another reviewer mentioned is actually quite nice and a great view into the real shanghai--that is, the clean, safe back streets where well off shanghainese live! The hotel also had a baby crib in the room per my request via expedia and at 11pm when I asked if they knew a fruit stand where I could buy bananas for my baby's breakfast, one of the staff offered to go and buy. I told him I only needed $1.50 worth and came back at 11:20p with a bunch of bananas and wouldn't accept any a tip. I speak Chinese so that helped but the story gives you an idea of the kindness of the staff. Will go back again and again if price stays at similar level.

Great location and 1st class room - clean, good size and friendly staff

We stayed at the Pudi Boutique Hotel for the second time and really enjoyed our stay once again. The location is great nearby Fuxing Park and much of the french concession; walking distance to Xintiandi and subway stations. We visited Shanghai as a group of 4, and stayed in two rooms. The rooms were lovely and spacious, very comfortable bed and pillows, lovely window lounge. The bathroom is also large with a big bathtub. Luxurious towels and robes. The second room was upgraded to a bigger rooms in order for the rooms to be closer together, for free, which was lovely. It had a huge bathroom! Rooftop bar has nice views.

Located in the heart of Xintiandi. Quite far from Pudong. Great Manager at the hotel! The room is not huge but very well appointed. If you want an intimate setting to stay, this is it. Very small lobby and no room service for food or bar.
