If Breakfast have more choices will be good.

The location is really convenient for me, close the metro station, close the shopping and all kind of restaurants. The staffs are very nice and friendly. The room is very space, with city view. The breakfast has a lot of choices and they change items daily.

Good...with a few exceptions

Overall, good deal, but we didn't like that the room temperature couldn't be lowered (stuck at 28 & 29 degrees the whole time)...had to sleep on top of our covers most of the night.

It is a brand new hotel. It locates in a dense older neighborhood. The transportation such as for the MTR is quite convenient. You can walk through the neighborhood to the river. The neighborhood is safe but streets' cleanliness may not be in a high standard.

Hotel is very nice and clean. Great location. Close to a lot of restaurants. Metro station is 5 mins away.

Hotel rooms are clean and spacious. Price is reasonable.

Good location, 3 mins walk from bus/ metro station and easy to go to Disneyland/ airport. Though no huge/ signature shopping mall, have basic restaurants at vicinity or take 2-5 metro stations to Starbucks Reserve Roastery or some famous shopping street.

I like the reasonable location, surrounding amenities and shop nearby. I don’t like the cleanliness of the room, there are not even a proper sitting in lobby. It’s apparent after one year of operations there are still area to the overall service not up to mark.

Beautiful rooms

A very well furnished hotel. The room is beautiful and comfortable. Will be back again.

A plus

Amara hotel was very nice the staff was outstanding. I read previous reviews before booking with complaints about language barrier. I had absolutely no problem with language barrier. I’m fact I had paperwork that was in Mandarin the staff coordinated a delivery for me as I went out exploring the city for the day. The concierge, front desk, bell staff all superb. I will definitely be back.

No flexibility

Everything was just ok. I booked this hotel again for this year because my first impression was very helpful staffs and kindness, but this year trip was very different. The hotel swimming pool was close for no reason and lobby service was unprofessional. When we had a meeting with our partners in lobby cafe, our staff brought Starbucks coffee from next door to offer my boss and we were also going to order from The cafe. However, the manager came to our table and say our boss can not drink Starbucks coffee because it came from outside of the hotel. I thought it was strange and rude because they were not professional. They could be more accommodated whole situation but they ended up kicking us out of the cafe. It made our partners feel so uncomfortable and upset. I will not book this hotel ever again.

Need better staff

Hotel is pretty new, however, the cleaners are not reliable. I found they don't clean the toilet floor. We used two cups. Both were not cleaned. They left one unclean on the table, one with my lipstick putting back in the drawer. There were lots of staff standing around the lobby. But none of them will greet you. When you ask direction tips, they didn't show too enthusiastic as well.

Well Done Amara

World Class service from arrival to departure in all sectors of this wonderful organization

Spent one night at the Amara. It is nice and new and about 2km from Shanghai Railway station. I forgot my iPad in my room and called from the train station in the afternoon. The next morning my iPad arrived in Nanjing because the hotel was nice enough to ship it straight to me! That is service people! I recommend this hotel, the pool is being renovated, the rooms are nice, the price is right, even a Thai restaurant on the premises. Brilliant all around! Cheers!

The staff is very helpful and the environment is goo.

The outdoor pool is not working yet, other than that - very nice hotel for the price

The location is excellent, within 5 mins walk to Metro station. The concierge and reception staff are knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant. The duty manager is responsive..called back very soon after the missed call. They provided assistance very promptly

Amazing New Discovery

The upgraded room was amazing. Comfortable and clean. Will definitely go again.

The staff was great. A nice view from my roof. The room was clean and everything appeared to work. I enjoyed being in my room while in Shanghai.

The room is very comfortable, well designed and a pleasure to stay in. Comfortable bed, restful tub with view of the city. Rainfall shower is also very nice along with the intelligent toilet. I extended my stay in Shanghai because of the hotel and I will be back as soon as possible.

Last time

Bad stay bad service and food

Never never again

Food not great. Double charged my room stay and it took me 2 months of emails and phone calls to get a refund. Worse part their attitude implied that it was my issue that caused the over charge. Regardless got my money back and will never stay there again.

It is a very noce and new hotel, beds and linens are comfortable

Good

I was booking on Hotels.com, but when I check in, they said there is no my information, and confirm number is wrong. But finally they find my information, except this check in experience! Everything is good!

The mattress was so hard and not use to it. Not like 5star bed

Professional services received from the hotel staff during my 1week stay. Check in was very smooth. The room was clean and comfortable. Hotel concierge was very friendly & helpful.

Shame to claim 5 stars hotel. Bad service in front desk, attitude is rude. Dust in room air-conditioner.

Nice hotel to stay, warm and nice staff, clean and spacious room. Just some facilities have not opened yet

Hotel facility is good but they block too much website, google etc... And the staffs service quality is so so...

Hotels.com said there was an airport shuttle. This was NOT accurate. No shuttle. 21 miles to Pudong, 45 min to 1 hour, 220 RMB. One of the deciding factors on choosing this location was the shuttle device. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating however their English language skills were sub-par Location was close to the subway

New hotel..Walking distance from mrt. Breakfast is good

Excellent!

Location is good, room is comfortable. But hotel staff really needs more training as their service is definitely not up to mark for a 5-star hotel. Even though we had booked a premier room type, the hotel staff upon our check-in insisted that it was deluxe room based on their records and refused to honour the booking, but advised that we check with Expedia instead.

First time staying at an Amara property. Everything went well; check in was smooth, room was clean and spacious. The hotel gym is large and well equipped, with plenty of weights and machines, not just cardio. Location is also a good one - near the metro and a short cab ride to Nanjing Road / Jing’an Temple area. Lots of local food options nearby too.

Amara Hotel Shanghai

Service was terrible, will never stay in this hotel again. One of worst hotel I ever stay in Shanghai The mini bar is empty when online stated it is free for soft drinks only afer repeated request that they fill it ...

Good hotel, nice rooms, disappointing service

Nice big room (I had the most basic one) with nice bath, amenities and bed. Very good housekeeping. Aircon was a bit loud. Service was disappointing: Almost no one spoke English and when I called I was asked "you speak Chinese?" And when I said no, I got an annoyed sigh - maybe not in the right business to operate an international hotel then... Or you can't order a taxi or so via the phone in the room, because no one will understand; they also refused yoet me order a taxi for the next morning, and told me to just call down an hour earlier (i.e. at 6am), but then didn't understand what I wanted, so I had to run down at 6am etc. So quite many issues with the service that just make you feel very annoyed, especially when you're in a country like China where as foreigner you just often require help... So it's a nice hotel, I liked the room, I could walk to Jingan...but I'm not sure I can recommend it, as I found the service quite lacking. Their staff need a lot of training.

10 nights in Shanghai

A ten night holiday in Shanghai. Excellent room, best bed ever. Great shower and big bath. Didn't eat in the hotel. Gym well equipped but needs managing. We had an issue with the hotel wanting to charge for printing out boarding passes (no printer in the hotel business centre), but no charge was made in the end. Some of the reception staff had very little grasp of English, and we didn't get answers to emails sent before our stay. Hotel very convenient for Changshou Road metro lines 7 and 13, 5 minutes walk. Several convenience stores across the road.

Very good experience at Pullman

Hotel is convenient located, big supermarket next to hotel.Room was clean, spacious, very immaculate condition. We enjoyed our stay in the hotel. However, check in girl at the reception was not friendly and we felt like she did a favour to us. This might be a training issue. Customer service needs improvement.Hotel General Manager responded to my feedback which we felt valued. I think Hotel’s GM is a people’s person and I went extra mile to make Customer happy

Disappointing

Staff were poorly trained and most could not communicate in English. Decor was very old fashioned. Overall it's a very china-standard hotel under the guise of a international hotel.

Nice new hotel

The hotel is new and clean, people are very helpful. Will stay again.

The hotel was really nice. I do not suggest ordering room service, the food wasn’t good at all. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is near a subway station, which is two short stops away from the heart of the fashion district.

New hotel, spacious room

The hotel is new, therefore clean. Rooms are spacious. However the bed is so high that I would think it's designed for 2 meter tall people. I forgot to pack my clothes in the wardrobe. The hotel could have informed me during the time when I stored my luggage at the concierge for 1 hour, but they didn't inform me at all. Service level needs to be improved.

A lovely surprise

I was genuinely impressed by the hotel and its amenities. A convenient spot to roam around the city, Soho as the subway is nearby

The hotel is very clean and very modern looking. It's located in a busy area in Shanghai. Tons of restaurants close by, and a shopping mall.

Nice hotel, perfect for business travelers

The hotel is very recent ; rooms are nicely decorated with good size. The staff is friendly. There is a great gym.

Surprisingly good

This booking was a mistake at first coz i was looking for a more closer to city center area. after staying there, i will book this hotel again. its convenient to get to the metro and lots of eats around the area. wonderful and a very good surprise. however the wifi is a little slow. it gets ur emails and text base items done but good enough. probably its China and not the hotel.

Nice

Hotel was clean and well presented. The rooms were very comfortable with good amenities. Staff were polite although seemingly not so knowledgeable of the local area. Menu for room service food was poor with most options not avaialble

Very nice stay

As this hotel is very new, it's in great condition and is very modern. The bed was super comfy and the Premium room we had was spacious. The bathroom was exceptional, especially the bath! The location is fine, 2 mins from the subway and just a few stops from the main sights. It was only around 20 mins to the Bund and 5 mins to Jing'An. Breakfast was a little pricey at CNY168 each but it tasted great with lots to choose from. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Good hotel but few things they need to improve

Everything was great but few things gave us quite disappointment such as their swimming pool was empty and their staff weren’t very professional. The most of staff weren’t able to speak English

New Hotel, worth checking

Excellent value for money. Newly open hotel

The hotel was brand new, it opened a day before I arrived, the staff made my stay very relaxing, The rooms are large and the bed was very comfortable. Despite the snow, it was a convenient location to get a taxi or to access to the subway. I highly recommend it.

Bad performance service of receptionist

Your checknout or checkbin lady name Iris uLi service is really improper :-( bad

毎日清掃が入り、快適に過ごせました！ ただ、コンセントの一部が通電していないのか使えませんでした。延長コードをお借りして、なんとか対処しました。

幅広い朝ごはんと広いお部屋

出張中に使わせて頂きましたがキレイで広く良かった。朝ごはんのバリエーションが多いのも良かった。朝ごはんのコーナーのコーヒーサーバーに外に持ち歩けるペーパーカップがあればなお嬉しかった。

值得再住的酒店

已經第二次入住，環境舒適，大堂有售賣飲品酒類，不用到便利店，而且連接的商場有Starbucks. 房間的燈光全部可獨立調教，浴缸美觀，電動窗簾

フロントの方・レストランの支配人は日本語は話せませんが身振り手振りでご丁寧に接してくれました。部屋も綺麗で気持ち良く眠ることが出来ました。上海に行く時は予約をします。

價錢便宜的五星酒店，離地鐵不遠，早餐挺不錯，整體性價比很高。 缺點/有待改善的地方如下： -我們住無煙房，但房間有小小“煙”味，很可能是中央通風系統問題。

서비스도 친절했고 호텔도 너무 넓고 쾌적했어요 시내로 나가는 접근성은 좀 떨어지지만 숙박하기에는 최고입니다

酒店頗新，房間不大，淋浴間很暗，前台和大堂的服務很好，有主動幫忙提行李。酒店的床很高，而房裡只有一張書桌椅，坐在床上很不方便。早餐沒有白開水，想喝要問侍應拿，有些麻煩。咖啡機也只有一台，也有時失靈。

地鐵站就在附近，靜安寺兩站就到，交通方便，附近吃的也很多，非常棒的地點。飯店蠻新的，所以設備還算新頴，也頗有設計感。

THE HOTEL CAN ONLY BE CONSIDER AS 4.5 STAR I/O 5 STAR

Mala Estadia

Muy Mala Experiencia en el hotel 2 horas para que me dieran la habitación porque no les había llegado según ellos mail de hotels.com,no se podía dormir por arreglos en el pasillo, por lo cual les pido compensación por los malos ratos pasado en esta reservación.

トイレは便座取り付けのウオッシュトイレだと良かった。

No good check in experience

When Checked in, receptionists were arguing and kept ppl waiting. I was waiting for like 30 mins.

房間乾淨；離地鐵站不算太遠。

五星級享受

不經意找到這間酒店的，酒店幫我們免費升級，所以房間起超大超舒服，簡直是五星級享受，住到不想走呢，推薦推薦啊！

房间有小飞虫，1303 号房间直接对着电梯口 声音吵杂并没有想象隔音这么好。

New hotel but some facilities were damaged. Nice staff

El hotel es una belleza. Muy moderno Las camas Espectaculares y las habitaciones Limpias y buenas Trato muy amable Esta a 30 minutos en taxi al Bund que es el Atractivo mas centrico de Shanghai Jack goldikener

조금 불만족

침대 시트를 갈아주지 않아 불편했습니다. 욕조가 물이 잘 빠지지 않고, 물을 받으니 쌓여있던 먼지가 둥둥 떠다녔습니다. 먼지를 빼려고 물을 빼는데 물이 잘 빠지지 않아 반신욕을 포기 했습니다ㅠㅠ 이외의 서비스는 괜찮았으나, 호텔임에노 불구하고 영어를 하는 직원이 잘 없어 이용이 불편했습니다. 나머지 룸 컨디션은 좋았습니다.

Location near metro and so many food shop around hotel

Todo bien, excelente hotel, con buena ubicación a una cuadra del metro. Excelente cuarto.

地點方便，近地鐵站出口。房間舒適整㓗，寬濶！

入住：過程迅速，但是給了兩張卡片一張沒有過磁無法使用需要再去前台處理 房間：房間設備蠻新的，房內清潔用品不錯。床的高度同前人說的略高，地板非地毯的部分看的出髒污並沒有清理。入住行政房型三日，冰箱內的飲品不會再補很奇怪的規定，需要連續入住退房三次同房型才有每日免費飲品？ 行政酒廊：服務人員親切但是開放時間有點短暫 人員：感覺的出來多數員工的素質跟相對等級的酒店略差 早餐：不是特別驚喜一般的自助餐，飯店作業疏失，第三天到餐廳跟我說沒有我的房間號，是沒有早餐。但是我是訂了連續三晚兩人份早餐的房型而且已經吃了兩天了。退房時再次反應，前台說查一下內部作業後再打電話給我解釋，沒收到任何電話 健身房：空間略小沒有太多清潔整理，跑步機上前人留下來的汗漬很多，沒有礦泉水，有飲水機但是沒有杯子。

Super bequeme Betten, modernes und sauberes Zimmer.
