b4 my trip, i was choosing between this and another B&B which had an extremely good deal. it was a tough choice but i finally decided on magnolia becos the french concession area appealed to me. and i didn't regret my choice.

i stayed in the red room overlooking the road but it was quiet enough for a light sleeper like me. got wake up calls every morning from a bird in a cage kept by a neighbour (just outside the bathroom). housekeeper is a lovely friendly woman who helped me to carry my luggage up the stairs even tho i had not asked (contrast this with my experience in another B&B in nice where the owner just flatly refused).

1 good thing abt this place is its fairly flexible. i had to cancel 2 nights' stay at very late notice but I did not have to pay any additional rate unlike with other hotels.

This made a perfect 1st stay in China. The B&B is in the middle of the French Concession which makes a perfect surrounding. We stayed in the red room, which is quite small(the smallest room in the B&B) but was very clean and had a good standard of bathroom. The breakfast was very good, we had the Chinese option but the Western options looked good too. The information provided the B&B on the surrounding area was very welcome.

Miranda booked our onward train travel to Taishan and from there to Beijing. This was invaluable and most appreciated.

The Perfect Place to be in Shanghai if like to feel the atmosphere of the Good Old days. Perfect surrounding. You have your own balcony and can breath the City. The breakfast room is small but cosy and you feel like at home

We enjoy very much our stay in Magnolia - The place is clean and the rooms are simple but very nice. The breakfast was also a very pleasant moment. The staff is very nice and always available for help.
