My stay at Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li was truly good. the service was perfect, making me feel at home in a luxurious setting. The unique Shikumen accommodations provided a charming atmosphere that I couldn't get enough of. There was a bit of a mix-up with the bathroom location being on a different floor, but the really good service more than made up for any inconvenience.

My stay at Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li was nothing short of wonderful! The hotel's unique Shikumen design created a charming atmosphere that really captured my attention. While the service was really good and the food at Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire was excellent, I did find the pillows to be a bit flat and the room air on the warm side. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for its stunning environment and great service! 😊
