The hotel offers a good value although the rooms are a little faded. My AC struggled at night but it could have been just my room? That said, the reception was very responsive and they all speak English very well. I didn't check out the pool and gym at the other buildings. The location is awesome! It is a short... More

While the Donghu is not the most attractive building it does have some virtues inside. The oriental decoration thru out is quite impressive, there are good facilities in room and around the adjoining buildings and the bed & pillows are excellent. But unfortunately the attention to detail goes no further. Our in room carpets were a mess and also carpet... More

I chose this hotel based on its location in the French Concession area and the reviews on trip advisor and we were very glad we did. We were upgraded to the 5th floor where we had a HUGE room with 2 double beds, cable TV desk, lounge chairs, balcony overlooking the street and the Shanghai skyline. The bathroom was also... More

We stayed at the main hotel at 70 Donghu Rd in Building number 1 for 4 nights - the hotel is quite lovely and has a somewhat faded (but not too much) elegance. Staff were great - very helpful and friendly. My daughter liked the pool (which was behind the No. 7 Donghu Hotel building but just a short walk... More

Great location in the French concession. On subway line 10, a few stops to xintiandi, yuyuan gardens and the bund. West of the hotel is a local area with local street food (great for breakfast), small market, convenience store etc. Were were allowed to check-in early (8am!) at no charge and staff were very helpful and courteous. Our 2 rooms... More

Used to stay at this hotel quite often about 10 years ago. Not much have changed and that goes for the prices as well. The location is great in the middle of the city, close to subway and a lot of dining and entertainment. The hotel has two buildings and I always stay in building 6 which is somewhat more... More

A very interesting experience. This hotel has TWO buildings in the same street but at different addresses. Ctrip access is to the CHEAP version of the hotel. I get the impression that longer-term guests stay there - at No,7 DongHu Lu. I stayed there 1 night only - cheap and extremely basic, but I can see the value if you... More

We stayed at 7 Donghu Rd. for 6 days. This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at, especially for the price. We had a beautiful, very large room with a full balcony (recommend 1512). Lovely furniture and fairly comfortable beds. The bathroom was updated and spacious. TV with HBO. The pool is large and warm. We heard... More

I took my two daughters to see their eldest sister who lives in Shanghai. She booked the the Donghu Garden Hotel for us. It is located in a very hip area, with a good variety of restaurants nearby. If you are adventurous, just west is Yangquing Rd. with the local foods. Great for a snack or breakfast. There is the... More

I stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed this hotel. The location is good just a few stops from the central / peoples park and easy enought to access via public transport. There was an unpleasant altercation going on between a guest and one of the receptionists when I was checking in that left a poor first impression that didnt... More
