Hotel Yun's Paradise – Shanghai

The hotel is very clean and has convenient location to most of the sightseeing places. The hotel staffs are friendly. The money exchange is in the same compound, so is highly convenient.

The hotel had a convenient location to the subway. But for itms price, it has to be better run and have higher level of comfort compared to the second hotel we stayed, at the SSAW Shanghai; in the same area. Staff were not incredibly friendly at the front desk. Overall it was not a relaxed stay.

The hotel was great, the breakfast was great, location is fantastic for tourism. Walking distance from shopping area and the beautiful Yuyuan gardens. The rooms were great with a great tub and rain shower. My only disappointment was the concierge service whose english was poor and was basically unable to be helpful other than hailing a taxi. If you're […] an english speaker, don't rely on the concierge to help you find a restaurant or suggest things to do. You'd be better off using the internet. But then again, we talked to one guy; this might be a completely different after a shift change. The staff behind the counter spoke very good english and were able to answer all our questions. We were glad to see them still at the desk when we finally arrived at 2:30 a.m. Lesa meira

The hotel lobby was the only thing that looked 4 star. The images the hotel uses on the site make it look a lot bigger than it actually is. The rooms were carpeted and incredibly dirty. They tried to shampoo the carpet in the hallway and it's still smells of smoke and mildew. The hotel personnel were not helpful at all with anything. The only perk was […] the breakfast included in the room rate and the free water bottles that housekeeping had provided. They did a good job cleaning the room. The headboards were ripped and old looking. Lights were too dim. The rest of the hotel was terrible. Lesa meira

How can this hotel be rated 4 stars!!!! Staff is incompetent and rude. Although mentioned in the room description, WiFi is not available in rooms. No newspapers available. Breakfast is crappy (even orange juice is not available) In the room : cracked basin, leaking faucet, stained carpet.

First, I will start off with the positive. The location is 2 blocks from a very nice tourist attraction. That is all. This is not a 4 Star Hotel not even by Chinese's rating. We booked a Superior Room for 4 nights and it was far from being superior. When we first walked in the room, it was very stuffy and had an "old" smell to it. So when turned on […] the air unit and at which time we were graced with a pleasant smell of smoke. This was ridiculous because it was a smoke free room. Since the air unit wasn't helping, we opened the window but thiis wasn't much better. We were blessed with the perfect view into the windows of 7 of our neighbors. Then we enjoyed sleepless nights while listening to our neighbors conversation and music because they enjoyed keeping their window open majority of the time. Note- our window was closed and could still hear everything. If you want a good night's rest, pick another hotel. Lesa meira

This hotel is a good value. They do speak English here. It's situated on a busy street so it can get noisy. It's very close to Yu Yuan garden but a bit of a walk to the Bund. Hotel sits close to subways and there are good restaurants right acrosss the street in the shopping mall. The hotel restaurant is suprisingly good and not that expensive! The free […] breakfast buffet is pretty decent. Overall, I recommend staying here. Lesa meira

Hotel is a little shabby considering it's age, but adequate. Location is quite central and close to many of the new sites. Breakfast is quantity over quality but again in this price bracket it would be hard to expect more. Recommended for the budget conscious traveller.

This hotel was good for the price, it's very clean and comfortable and close to the main tourist area if that's where you want to be. Its decor is pretty tacky - lots of flashing lights on the outside and red leather in our room - good for a laugh but not exactly romantic! It had an awesome big bath though and even though the room faced the road it […] wasn't too noisy and the curtains blocked out all the light. Good value! Lesa meira

I wanted a room that's got natural light and comfortable and clean. This hotel satisfied my requests. The king-size bed was very comfy and the washroom was clean too. Coming from Hong Kong, I could get used to the noise - the room I had was facing roads and vehicle noise was inevitable. No international channels on TV; so bring your computer loaded […] with entertainment. No Wifi in the room, only LAN connection. Cash deposit of 500 RMB was required when checking in and when requesting for plates and cutlery, they asked for 100 RMB deposit. Remember to keep the deposit slips as they didn't note it down at the check out counter. I took the room only deal as Shanghai has so many nice brunches worth exploring for. Lesa meira

We booked at this hotel needing to rest overnight for our trip back to the states. Luckily we had a half a day to spend in shanghai before departing. Our hotel stay was very brief. The roommate and bathroom were very lovely, with all the amenities that you would expect. ...including an umbrella, which we were thankful because it was raining. It's called […] paradise because of interior-balcony-esk view, which looked like a garden. It's located right next to a shopping complex with five top restaurants at good prices. There's big tourist spot just two blocks away. Highly recommend this hotel for the short stay. Lesa meira

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights in March, 2011. Facilities of the hotel are basically OK,with some exceptions! In my room, I had problems with almost all the faucets in the bathroom! Also, I couldn't find a clock in my room. The hotel's overall service? Difinitely not good! Lots of improvements should be done. The one tissue paper box of my room […] had only 3 sheets in it! Every day, I was not sure whether they had changed the towels with clean ones . . . In the restaurant (I used it for breakfast), there were lots of empty seats but with no service(knives and forks etc), and the tables had not been cleaned. My overall impression: Owners have tried to make a good hotel; but the management is extremely indifferent and careless. Lesa meira

Location is pretty good...between two subway stations...about a 12 minute walk. Breakfast was not very good...could have been better quality food.

I just finished a 2 week tour of China so I wanted to just relax in Shanghai and visit some friends. Checking in and then going to my room I felt I was in a lavishly luxurious hotel although I was well aware it was just a 4* hotel. The internet was free as compared to a pricier hotel I was staying at in Beijing. I make good use of the front desk help […] because I'll usually have a destination written in Pinyin but need it written out in Chinese characters and there was someone always able to do this for me. It was cold and snowing in Shanghai and there was heat in the room that was somewhat adjustable. I rather be too warm than too cold. Step outside and the Yun Garden tourist area were within close walking distance. I prefered the local residential scene as it was much more interesting. The subway was just one very long block away but went anywhere in town I wanted to go, even to the airport on departure. This is a very good "value" oriented hotel. Lesa meira

This hotel is very conviently located, walking distance from Yuyuan Gardens, which are very nice, close to the metro station as well as other attractions.

Excellent hotel for a cheap rate. Beds were nice and soft (unlike so many others in China) and the breakfast was good too. Hotel is just 300m from entrance to yuan gardens (big tourist spot) and only a couple of kms from people's square and the bund. Would definitely stay again. Gym small but handy. No WiFi in rooms (lobby yes). Free cable internet […] in room works well. Lesa meira

We have a great experience with Hotel Hun's Paradise. We checked in a bit early than the check-in time. Upon check in, we were upgraded to a better room without asking. My friend had left several messages at the front desk and they made sure the messages are conveyed to me at the time of check-in. The best thing is that this hotel has non-smoking rooms. […] We have been to several 5-star hotels in the Southern part of China and suffered the smoking air in every single hotel we've been to. Apparently, it's quite unusual to have non-smoking rooms in most of the hotels, even all the 5-star hotels we stayed at. The hotel servers good breakfast in the morning. The location is great - walking distance to the old Shanghai street. If I have to name one thing that needs improvement, it'd the up-keeping of the place. The wall in the room we stayed at definitely needs a fresh coat of paint. Overall, we feel Hotel Yun's Paradise deserves a 5-star. Lesa meira

The hotel was clean and well-lit, and the concierge gave us an upgrade without asking, though there seemed to be a fair number of people staying at the hotel judging by the breakfast crowd. Our room was spacious, and the generously sized bathtub was an appreciated surprise. The bed was hard, which is standard for China, but there is a spare quilt in […] the closet and more if you call down to concierge. We were in Shanghai for the Expo, but the taxi drivers either didn't want to go there or didn't understand "Expo" in English, and we had to hoof it to the metro station every day. It's about a 10-minute brisk walk along an occasionally very narrow sidewalk that frequently includes electric motorbikes, so that wasn't too pleasant. But the metro stop is on the two major lines, 8 and 10. The surrounding neighborhood was largely residential, but had a very small mall with only Chinese and Korean restaurants, so we bought quite a few crackers and other essentials at its supermarket for sustenance. But we did belatedly find a tiny hole-in-the-wall cafe nearby run by a lovely Chinese couple who speak next to no English but make a mean supreme pizza. I'd recommend them - it looks a little dingy, but the food is fresh and good. Breakfast at the hotel was a decent mix of Western and Chinese options. We never went hungry, but sometimes we ate more pastries than others. Overall, I think I'd like to find a hotel with a more central location, but the hotel itself was a lovely experience. Lesa meira

Updated, clean and good location. Staff are helpful. Though requesting non smoking room upon reservation and check in, a new staff still gave us a smoking room. After complaining to the Front desk, another more experience staff immediately changed ours to a non smoking one. Room is spaceous and clean. Across the Hotel, there is a new mall with supermarket […] and some nice restaurants. Only 10 minutes walk to the subway station, and 5 minutes walk to Yi Yun, a popular attraction in Shanghai. Located in a good neighborhood and would feel safe when walking to the subway. The breakfast buffet is included, but not impressed. Since they have milk, toast, different types of egg, cereal, fruits and coffee, I would say fine. Overall expericence is good. Take one star as there is no swimming pool. Lesa meira

There was no problem with the location of the hotel and the standard of the room. However the dining room was another experience. It was a challenge to find a cup that was not chipped at breakfast. They ran out of preserves for the toast so there was nothing to put on your toast at breakfast. The corrnflakes were displayed in a tiny bowl enough for […] one person and when you asked for theis to be refilled, they could nover find where they had been put so you were left waiting for ages. The staff in the dining room appear to have an attitude problem and they never smilled. On leaving the hotel as usual the room was checked and we were accused of taking a glass from the bathroom, we insisted that we had not. We then had to wait a considerable length of time for the room to be checked again when they discuvered that both glasses in the bathroom were still there. We were then dismissed and told we good go with a gradging appology. Lesa meira
