Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel

We had an amazing stay. Perfect room, delicious breakfast and all the stuff very friendly and helpful!

Good location very near to Yuyuan Garden. Metro station is nearby. Hotel is a little dated but otherwise clean. Staff are increadibly helpful and professional. There was construction nearby during my stay and can be noisy at times. Construction activities usually goes on 24 hours. Nontheless, it is highly recommended.

The room is clean. Good location near Yu yuan Garden. Metro line 14 is opposite the hotel.

My stay was quite comfortable! I was given a room overlooking Yuyuan which was nice!

Room was clean and quiet. Temperature was fine. We experienced a strange noise in the air conditioning unit overnight but the hotel fixed it the next day. We had to pay a premium for 2 x adults and 2 x children, it seems difficult to get a family room for 2 children in China, which is frustrating and costly. Room only had one smoke hood despite being advertised as a family room. Hotel was clean throughout and quiet. Breakfast had a wide array of options and good coffee. However, some of the food, such as eggs, was on the cold side as it was pre-cooked and left out on warming trays. The pool and hot tub were in a far worse condition than the photos on the website suggest, the hot tub didn’t work and the poolside area was cluttered and has rust around it. The pool could do with a renovation. Location was good for the Bund and metro.

The Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel offers a mixed experience that balances some exceptional features with a few drawbacks. The highlight undoubtedly lies in the breathtaking views from the rooms, which provide an awe-inspiring outlook, offering a glimpse into the vibrant cityscape. However, it's important to note that the building itself might show signs of age, which could be evident in the overall aesthetic and some facilities. The lack of amenities like self-service laundry might be a downside for guests looking for such conveniences during their stay. Nevertheless, the hotel's prime location opposite the wholesale mall is a considerable advantage for guests interested in shopping or exploring the local area. This proximity to a bustling commercial center adds convenience and opportunities for guests to immerse themselves in the city's vibrant atmosphere and culture. In summary, while the Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel might have some limitations in terms of the building's age and absence of certain facilities like self-service laundry, its unbeatable views and strategic location opposite the wholesale mall make it a worthwhile choice for travelers looking to experience the vibrant energy of Shanghai.

Five stars. Check all the boxes! Subway very close. It’s a bit old and close to needing wa one updates and maintenance. For example the top floor pool showed signs of rust. But it is a big pool. Whirlpool power was low and not very hot.

The room is big and comfortable for 4 adults. Breakfast spread is good, especially the western selection. Location is super good (walking distance to yu yuan) and mrt exit.

Good location, 5mins by walk to Yuyuan garden and food markets. 20 mins walk to The Bund and Nanjing Road. Hotel room is nice and clean.
