One of the best B&B we have ever stayed in. We stayed in the Chocolate room, small but very clean and cosy. We did not need a big room as we were out all day. Miranda, the owner, is very helpful and will gladly assist in making travel arrangements, buying train tickets or showing you in the right direction if... More

My husband and I stayed over a month at the Magnolia B&B whilst flat-hunting and we loved the experience! Miranda, the owner, kindly gave us a monthly price for the Ink and Water Suite which is large and has a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs giving onto the lively Yanqing Lu. Everything was perfect: spotlessly clean, comfortable... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Magnolia B and B which is located in an interesting street in the French Concession. The rooms are small but character-filled and the lounge/dining area equipped with a book exchange, coffee and tea and a nice ambience. The breakfast is good (cooked or not) and there is delicious unsweetened yoghurt. Plenty of restaurants to... More

Well located with secure entry. Friendly owner. Amazing and well thought out breakfast (you get to order each afternoon/evening off a card, and are served in the small dining area at your nominated time, great home cooked food). Stunning decor, beautiful and unique art combined with some modern and some antique furnishings. Small rooms but very comfortable and cosy. We... More

Magnolia is a place for the confident, seasoned traveler who wants something other than the usual hotel experience. The rooms are modest in size, but very clean and comfortable. Try one of the higher floors for a quieter night. The proprietor, when she is there, is extremely helpful with excellent English; she provides you with a local phone to use,... More

I stayed in the so-called "Blue room" for 5 nights: for 120 US Dollar per night it is clean, but very small indeed, you have no cupboard to hang up or lay down clothes, which means you live out of your suitcase. Instead you have a wooden ladder, memorable but a very poor substitute. The balcony is tiny, you can... More

My wife and I stayed at Magnolia in September. We stayed in the Blue Room, and found everything to be just fine. This was our first time to Shanghai and my wife was there for business (staying at the Shangri-la) but since we decided to make it a long weekend, we opted for something in the French Concession...not to mention...

One of the reasons we prefer small guesthouses is because of the friendly chats that develop around the breakfast table, with both the owners as well as fellow travellers. Our first B+B in Shanghai was going through renovations, so we totally missed that. We stayed in the French Concession, near to the Changshu Road Metro. A beautiful part of the... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was small but adequate as was the breakfast. The location cannot be beat, right in the middle of the French concession. What realy makes the stay however are the innkeepers. They were extremly helpful in helpiung us to make travel arranements and to get a cab. Good place for the money. More
