Yuexian Boutique Apartment (Shanghai Nanjing East Road)

Yuexian Boutique Apartment (Shanghai Nanjing East Road)

4.8/5161 Reviews
People's Square Area
Wonderful little apartment. Love that the TV box had VIP subscription so we could catch the latest shows and movies. Bathroom could use a renovation but everything works so no complain. Beds were comfortable and heating was adequate. We had a bit of problem with the fridge and washing machine as they were old but understand that the management is in the midst of changing appliances into new ones. Location is very good, near major metro stations and the Bund area. Would be perfect if we have had a room with the view of the Bund.

Shanghai Disney Resort
Environment: Very suitable for bringing children, the interior design and lobby structure are great, and it is a very comfortable living environment Service: The staff are very friendly and it is convenient to take out food, which can be delivered to your door. Hygiene: No problems found, very clean Facilities: The 4 parks are good for releasing children's energy. The park is very clean, but the indoor park currently does not have as much content as previously reviewed. There are few small kitchen toys that can be played and are a bit shabby. There is only one car in the car theme. None... Boating is no longer allowed in the outdoor pool (I don’t know if it was because of the cold winter that I drained the water or gave up completely. I originally wanted to use the transparent Internet celebrity boat). Summary: Although the park is a bit disappointing, it can still be given 5 stars overall. If you don’t want to eat at the buffet in the hotel, you can also order takeout. There are many takeaways around and they are delivered very quickly. Disney pick-up and drop-off, as well as peripheral sales and stroller rentals, are a very good choice for families with children going to Disney.

Shanghai Disney Resort
When Ctrip was doing an event, we stayed in a double room for two nights in Group 399. Unexpectedly, we were upgraded to a suite with two 1.8-meter large beds, Peppa Pig themed, and the kids loved it. Free breakfast is also provided, which is very convenient for having breakfast downstairs in the hotel when you want to go to Disneyland early. There are restaurants, convenience stores, milk tea shops, and Wallace McDonald's nearby, which is very convenient. Although the room facilities are not as good as four-star or five-star standards, they are definitely worth the price and are affordable. There is a Disney commuter shuttle that can be reserved in the group one day in advance. The shuttle bus driver is very nice and you can also rent children's cars, which is very necessary for children under 6 years old. However, please be careful when choosing the tour guide service promoted on the Disney shuttle bus. I personally think it is unnecessary. You will become familiar with it soon after entering the park. Download the Disney APP and you can keep an eye on the queue situation at any time. It is fine if you go on a weekday.

Chongming Island, Changxing Island, Hengsha Island
The location of the small courtyard is good, the entrance is a park built in the countryside, there is a river, the river is very clean, there are small woods, wooden plank road. The room is clean. Hengsha Island is indeed very clean. The small courtyard is very close to the town. The nearby Mindong Road, Dongjiang Road, Fuminsha Road, connected together, is a very comfortable ride road, and there are high water spruces on both sides of the road. Eating, renting bicycles, and the boss help solve it. The boss’s family made ”sugar and sour mulberry”, which is delicious.

The landlord and the owner’s family are super nice and enthusiastic. They treat guests like relatives and are responsive. We went out to dinner at night and the landlord waited at the door specially, like welcoming guests, haha. The environment is elegant and clean, and there is also a small amu*****t park for children to play. The children are especially excited. Come to play and live here in the future.

The hotel is conveniently located and there are many restaurants nearby. The hotel staff are friendly, nice and helpful. Just 2 things that caused certain inconveniences. 1. The staff took away the bath mat and forgot to replace a new one. 2. The door could not be closed tightly in the shower room and water did leak out of the door. Overall stay is satisfactory and I will stay again.
