Xi Lu Garden

Big, clean, and comfortable rooms, well equipped, spacious and clean bathrooms, all set in a beautiful garden at the side of a river. Plus, a balcony and a balcony door with a fly screen! Breakfast is good, the on-site restaurant too, though there are plenty of food options within a few minutes drive.

Absolutely loved this stay. Just a 10-minute walk to the Bund, with charming old houses along the way. The room was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Great water pressure in the shower. The laundry room on the 4th floor was a huge plus—wash and dry in one go. Nice gym for a quick morning workout, and the rooftop terrace has an amazing view of Lujiazui at night. Front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and even recommended some great local Shanghainese restaurants. Would definitely stay again.
