MSG Curated Design Hotel Apartment

The hotel is conveniently located in the shopping area of Nanjing road and is within walking distance to People’s park MRT. It is situated in a commercial building on the 10th floor so it is not one building on its own. Location wise, it is superb with lots of eateries and shopping areas nearby. The room is very cosy and the bed is very comfortable allowing me to have good night sleep throughout my stay. The room also looks out to see the beautiful view of outer banks. I would definitely recommend this place for any budget traveler seeking affordable room rates within the bustling Nanjing street area.

Location: Few minutes walk to people square subway and nanjing pedestrian shopping street. Many restaurants and malls nearby. Near Huanghe food street, near new world mall which has a large food court, across from that is another mall with more food options. There is also a convenience store on first floor that sells drinks. Service: Similiar to an airbnb. No lobby but Hotel staff responds quickly and asks if you want room cleaned and toiletries resupplied. They are very easy to communicate with. They provide 2 packs of disposable towels a day which are quite good. Amenities: Bed was comfortable and clean. Airconditioning works well. Washing machine can both wash and dry. Shower pressure and temperature was very good and washroom has advanced built in dehumidifier and exhaust features. Sink in washroom was too small, but kitchen sink was large and very useable. Large refridgerator provided. No kitchen utensils. Tv projector didn’t work well. Not enough places to hang clothes in washroom. Toilet is electronic but has no bidet. No smell of smoke anywhere except first floor. When checking in just directly message the hotel and ask what floor to go and ignore the three smoking security guards on the ground floor if you can’t speak chinese. Location on amaps is easily searchable as MSG hotel. Building looks a bit dated outside and unlike a hotel, but there are multiple luxury cars parked right at the main entrance and in the area, so the place is very quiet but not shady looking. Overall had a good experience and would definitely stay again.

The apartment is very cozy with fantastic city view. The location is very convenient, very close to People's square and Nanjing road. The host offered cleaning service and free water. We also used the washing machine. The only missed some cups and plates to cook meals, so we went to the restaurants and cafes - there are plenty of them around the house. To sum up, the apartment is highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this homestay! The recipient was incredibly kind and helpful — even going the extra mile to help us collect a parcel before we arrived. Truly above and beyond! The room itself is beautiful and full of charm. The view from the property is absolutely stunning — a sweeping, picturesque scene that feels like something out of a postcard. It is a short walk to shopping district and metro station And from the room able to see Orential Tower. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a local, heartfelt experience!

A Surprising Gem in the Heart of the CityStayed: October 12–18 At first glance, MSG Curated Design Hotel might make you second-guess your choice—the building’s exterior doesn’t quite reflect the stylish experience that awaits inside. But once you reach the 10th floor, everything changes. The rooms are newly renovated, thoughtfully designed, and offer a comfortable retreat from the city buzz. What truly sets this hotel apart is the service. Responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring—the staff made us feel like we were in good hands throughout our stay. The location is excellent, and the overall experience more than makes up for any initial hesitation. Highly recommended for travelers who don’t mind the absence of a traditional front desk and appreciate great service and a central location—even if the building’s exterior doesn’t scream “boutique luxury” at first glance.

Nice and compact room for a good rest while we wait for our 2am flight.
