I booked a room with 2 breakfast. They try to charge me for additional breakfast… an upsell strategy. Breakfast was good. I will never stay there again because I felt was tired to be overcharged. I had to show proof that I have reservation from Expedia that includes 2 breakfast and they insisted to call and verify with Expedia. The front desk need to learn how to dear customer. I’ll stick to the Marriott brand hotels since they are better trained I guess

Oasis in the middle of the city

Ruijin hotel is one of the classic historical hotel in Shanghai located in one of the most prestigious addresses, the formal French concession. Despite the convenient location, it’s surrounded by green space in a park like environment, truly an oasis in the middle of large busy city.

The staff is extremely polite, professional, and attentive.

The rooms are classic, spacious, and large.

The only slight disappointment the hotel restaurant, Xin yuan Lou. The restaurant is beautiful, with excellent service, but the food is below the quality of typical Shanghai restaurants.

Stay away from this one

The room had a strong musty smell and there was a leak under the sink. After a few days of staying, I developed a rash and cough. But the hotel management's subsequent excuse was: \"The humidity in Shanghai is high and the weather is hot, which is normal for this time of year.\" They completely shirked their responsibility for routine maintenance. Although the restaurant staff and front desk staff were very nice, it was not enough to offset the discomfort during and after the stay.

Club privileges are really beyond my expectations: there are lots of varieties of afternoon tea selection and happy hours food buffet selection . One time complimentary use Mini Bar for each stay .

Had a lovely stay, the gardens are beautiful and I would highly recommend this hotel to those who want to stay in the French Concession.
The only negative is that if you want to use the pool you are required to purchase a bathing cap from them which, although common in public pools in China, is unusual in an international hotel. If they insist on keeping this rule it would be nice if you could borrow a cap.

Its too darn HOT. Turn the heating off!

It is a lovely styled hotel, BUT... it is unbearably hot. The heating is turned on in the entire building all the time. We moved twice to try and find a cooler room. Finally we had to sleep with the door off the balcony open and put a fan in front of it to try and cool the room down. Due to this I would not be rebooking here on my next trip. I ended up moving to Les Suites Orient on the Bund where you can actually control the temperature of the rooms.

hotel with great history but service is lacking

This is an attraction on its own, for the history and the beautiful gardens in the hotel grounds. Intercontinental Ruijin is an oasis in the buzzing city of Shanghai and a peaceful and calming place to call home. The bed is huge and really comfortable, the breakfast spread is quite amazing and the amenities in the room and out were all pretty outstanding. The only thing lacking is proper training of the hotel staff, especially those at the front desk and the bell boys. Also, the lobby could do with a little music and some essence in the air.

Room was wonderful and the check-in staff very good. However, the general staff in all areas of the hotel are in quick need of additional training if they are to identify themselves as a 5 star hotel. All very extremely pleasant but the timing of their service is very poor. It took over 30 minutes to be served a drink in the lounge and we were the only guests in there. Behaviour of the children in the dining room was terrible with them playing hide and seek around the food service area (+ hands in and out of all the food) and the tables. If you want a quiet evening meal experience - go elsewhere. Breakfast food selection was outstanding!!

The Concierge were very helpful but they seemed a little new to their jobs. The lobby was beautiful and the bar a lovely place to sit. Room service was not quite organised and most days things would be missing (face washers, old soap taken but not replaced, etc....) We would have liked a map of the grounds with a little historical detail on it as the grounds were extensive and beautiful and I'm sure really interesting.

Beautiful Hotel

This is a very classy hotel located in the old French concession. The remodeling was completed in 2009 and everything is still very well maintained. I loved the marble floors and shadeliers in the lobby and the rooms. I like the location also. It is about 5 minutes walk to Si-Yuan Gongguan (shopping area converted from old European style buildings) and about 15 minutes walk to Xin Tian Di. The people working at the hotel were nice and polite but the problem was that they kept telling you that the hotel is only 30 minutes by taxi to the Hongqiao Train Station (the station for all the bullet trains). Well, it takes at least 40 minutes to an hour in the morning. And with a ticket, you should arrive at least 10-20 minutes before departure.. The traffic in Shanghai is terrible and they should know it. It would take about at least 40-50 minutes to Hongqiao Airport in the morning. It also takes a while (15-20 minutes) to get a taxi outside the lobby and may take much longer during traffic hours. Another thing was that I pre-ordered a taxi at the hotel, but it wasn't there waiting for me outside the lobby at the time.

優雅なホテルライフを楽しめます

2019年GW中に２泊しました。ホテル敷地のあるゲートを入ってからでさえ、タクシーがフロント棟が何処か迷うほどの広大な敷地です。手入れが行き届いた広い庭園に歴史的建物１号館2号館やロビー館などが点在してます。それらを見学するだけでもホテルに宿泊する意味があると思いました。
私たちが予約したツイン部屋は3号館にあり、専用カートで移動しました。ゆとりある広さの部屋で、静かで清潔感があり申し分なかったのですが、「春」という季節になったとのことでエアコンが暖房モードにならず少し寒かったです。また、やや小さめの窓からの眺望は宿泊代に比例しているようです。
幾つかあるレストランのうち、ロビー棟にあるレストランはリーズナブルな価格の一品料理もあり重宝しました。ホテル外にはコンビニもありました。
