Yuyuan Garden Tours and Activities

This property was definitely a little different than other hotels I've visited. Staff was so helpful and accommodating.

Modern lobby; good size room; friendly staff

URBN Boutique Shanghai hotel was as lovely as the photos in our Expedia booking website. Our room had lots of reclaimed wood on the floors and walls, spectacular tiles on the floor, many noticeable details that made it look modern but also comfortable. The shower floor and walls look like gray slate and it was really big with an overhead rainfall shower as well as a hand held shower head. There was also a deep and long bathtub in the room which we used as well. Our window looked out on to a row of pink Shanghai houses which were nice to look at. The bed was comfortable and there was a sunken living room area with lots of seating, two areas that were long enough for people to stretch out and extra seat space left over. Everything was very clean and the cleaning staff came while we were at breakfast and magically did everything and disappeared. We never had to wait for the elevator as it is a small hotel. Our floor had only 8 rooms and there are 4 floors altogether. The breakfast area was being renovated - a new wooden floor was being installed - so we ate in two different spaces during our stay. There was salad, cereals, congee, pastries (soft and nice), sausages, etc., omelets (yummy) juices, milk, water, coffee (machine did a nice cafe latte), and some cold cuts. We were very happy with the breakfast. Our check in and check out were done quickly and they gave us two cards when we asked without a problem. The location is fantastic. The Thai Gallery restaurant is close!
