The hotel is easy to find and can be accessed without leaving the building (you do have to clear customs). The room was spacious and offered everything you could wish for - comfy mattresses, good blackout curtains (we were staying only during daytime hours as we had to bridge 14 hours between a flight from Madrid and to Melbourne), and a good shower. Excellent breakfast featuring a variety of western and Chinese/Asian options. The food was tasty and of good quality.

The facility is new and clean with an efficient staff. The location is convenient. 5 min walk to the 10/12 line. And 8 min to the Beijing road end of the bund. There are plenty of Chinese eateries around. With the price at less than half of Bellagio nearby, Savhe is a great bang for the buck choice for travelers who like to be out and about.

The place was perfect because of the owner/hosts. They made us feel comfortable and well taken cared of. They gave us a room upgrade which was big enough for a family of 4. Breakfast was simple but very filling, my daughters liked it so much and it really helped us get through the long entrance queue of Disneyland 😊 The room was so pretty and beds were comfortable. I think each room is unique. I was even able to peak on one which has a ball pit😊 We avail of their shuttle service: pick up at train station, going to and from Disneyland and even drop off to the airport because of its convenience. Rates were reasonable. We’d like to stay again there If ever we’ll have the chance to go back to Shanghai Disneyland. And maybe spend more time to ask JunJun for a tutorial on how she makes her shoes 😊😊 God bless Jun Jun and Quiao! Thank you!

    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
