Stay in the original building, no: 1 which has a charming old world feel about it. We were upgraded to a larger room, very spacious and quite elegant, Chinese furniture with 2 double beds. If you want to pay more, you can stay in a really beautiful room at the front overlooking the garden. Bathrooms OK, spacious, a little old... more

Just stayed in Donghu Hotel Main Building. We travel to Shanghai every month for business, this hotel really offers great values for in terms of price/location/quality. Hotel is surrounded by excellent restaurants, and nice streets with small local boutique stores / cafe's/winebars(on Xinle Lu). The rooms are spacey and clean, the main building has a excellent garden, try to book... more

A nice enough hotel, with a very friendly staff. Be careful on the room selection. The newer addition to the original building (bldg. 1) is very noisy, with thin walls, and loud plumbing and creaky floors. The original building is solid and very nice. more

This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our two week holiday in China and unfortunately the most uncomfortable. The mattress was old and sagging; the room was small, dark and noisy. One redeeming feature is the excellent Japanese/Korean restaurant. Worth visiting for the food and architecture but don't bother to stay the night. more

We stayed in Building 1. There are a series of neighborhood buildings, ours being the most charming. We had a second floor room with a couryard view. Large room high ceilings, Chinese decor in room, with added glass sun room thru the sliding doors. I would have preferred a sofa or club chairs in this sun room as I found... more
