ZHotel The Somekh Building

PONS : The location is unbeatable! Near Nanjing road, near the bund, near everything. The staff is friendly. The golden point about this hotel is the laundry service, amazing! You just put your clothes in the laundry room write a note kb it and leave it, they take care of all your clothes wash them dry them and organize them by colors and put them on the door of your room. I loved that! CONS : poor breakfast, limited choice, need to work on western breakfast.

Ok where to start? Checking in was easy and they let me know of a possible upgrade. Which obviously I took. So they moved me after the second night. Which was easy, they just gave me the new room key when I came back. Service? Fantastic. They don’t speak English well but that didn’t prevent anything from being understood. Also had welcome fruit. The building is gorgeous. Also, literally right down the street from The Bund and other areas. It’s not far from the subway station either. They have some restaurants and a bar in the building. There are cafes and restaurants down the street as well (less than 5 minutes away). It can get a bit loud at night outside but you are in the heart of the city. Blackout curtains help a lot. I still slept well. I was posting on my social media about the view and everything which led to me recommending it to some friends already before I checked out this morning. As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe the entire time. Even late at night and early in the morning. I would definitely recommend it. I would stay again. To the staff, thank you all for being so amazing!

Solo travelled to shanghai and stayed here for quite a few nights. Aesthetic of the place is 💯 One of the things i love about this hotel was the 📍location, it was a short walk to the amazing Bund (otw there, you can get your coffee run at starbucks!), metro isn’t far and there are little food places + convenient stores like family mart nearby too! It’s also a walkable to Nanjing Road where Pop Mart and many other shops are! Another thing is the balcony - Requested to get the bigger balcony (which wont be at the highest floor but thats okay). Chilling in the early morning or just having my supper by the balcony is so nice. The construction happening right now nearby didn’t affect me incase anyone was wondering, because i’m usually out and about by then. They also offer ear plugs if it affects you! I did not book the room with the bund view, just balcony. But because the first room had issues with the TV, they transferred me to another room where you can see a small glimpse of the bund if you sit more towards railing. (I don’t know if its an upgrade or still within what i booked, but assume it should be within that i booked). The room is 303 incase anyone wants to know!~ Lastly, for anyone who needs to wash their clothes 🧺, they have a little room with a washer and dryer, free to use! They provide detergent and all too~ Anyways, overall 10/10 would recommend anyone to stay here! And thank you for a lovely stay and the little goodie bag when i checked out. Was contemplating to get this cream, but i guess i don’t have to anymore! :)

Staying at the best location in Shanghai was really nice. I'll stay here later when visiting Shanghai.

The staff is kind, the toothpaste is very frangrant, the comb is easy to use, the guses supplies are very convenient? the towels are soft, the four-piece set is comfortable, and the sound insulation is also great.

The room is clean and tidy, the scenery is very beautiful, the smell is fresh, and the waiter is very friendly. I recommend it.
