White Mansion Hotel Shanghai

When we first arrived at the hotel, it looks kinda small from outside. The room is in decent size but very well designed. What I love best are the shower gel and shampoo. They smell really good. They provide 2 kinds of shower gel, one with lavender for night time with calming effect and one with orange peel for day time with invigorating effect. The hotel also provide late night dinner snacks from 10-11pm. Do stroll around the neighborhood, there are some traditional market market and small scale supermarket where the locals shop.

We stayed here in Feb. and Mar. 2019. The front desk is very busy and they work to get you checked in and out, very quickly. Some employees have very good English and others have sufficient English, everyone is professional. Our room was a single King with laminate flooring. It was very clean, spacious, bed was extremely comfortable, the free items in the mini fridge were a nice touch, there are robes, slippers, toiletries and safe in the room. Internet is free throughout the hotel. The downside was slow speed or no response after going in on and entering something...it was not responding. It worked better on the iPhone, rather than the iPad with VPN. We had dinner in the restaurant...the food was good, but high priced for Shanghai. It had western prices.On our return to the hotel at the end of our trip, breakfast was excluded. A large selection of Asian, European and Western breakfast choices were available. The many different pots of tea to choose from was nice. The coffee was available from a coffee/expresso machine and they were in high demand with a line at each of them...as the machines were slower. The restaurant staff and the reception staff all wore their heavy winter coats, as the lobby and restaurant did not appear to be heated. I asked someone who lived their and they said that the government had that central heating was only approved above a certain latitude and Shanghai was not included for having centralized heat. Our hotel room had heat and a control that you could set and control. So the guest got heat just fine, but the staff worked in a cold environment. The hotel is about 6 minutes walk to the metro No. 10 Line! We went everywhere by the metro, it was fast, clean and very economical. The lines are well marked and the hotel gives you a metro map. There are a couple of eating establishments next door. Be sure to try the noodle shop...it is very tasty! Loved that they made bottled water available in the lobby, along with team and coffee, that you could help yourself to. I was able to get good rates online, but you had to really watch the pricing because it could range from $62 -$185 a night. The $62 pricing is acceptable for what we got. Above $80, you would need check out comparable ratings and pricing. We do recommend this hotel to travelers, you will be satisfied with your stay.

Stayed for 2 nights and overall I think it is a nice hotel. Room is at the right size, toilet is clean with all the toiletries. Breakfast is fantastic for this kind of hotel. Best I think is the location of this hotel, near to commercial area, restaurants and shopping malls. The hotel also provide airport (HongQiou and Pudong) bus service with a minimum fee. Worth the money.
