This is my 2nd stay in this hotel. The service from the staff is still good as the previous time. The cleaner is professinal and friendly. However, my partner did not feel the same because she did not have the feel of the international hotel. Actually the room we stayed this time is real old. I asked for newly renovated... More

I stayed at the Somerset for 6+ weeks in two different rooms. The first room on the first floor was a 'small but perfectly formed' apartment with a great kitchen, large bathroom and bedroom with a walk-in-robe that made it difficult to move home. The second room on the 24th floor had two bedrooms but the living spaces were smaller.... More

Yes, it is not 4 stars, but if you want to spend for example 7 days with your family in Shanghai and you want something not bad for good money, then it's ok. Big plus is that the hotel is not far from the metro. You can reach every places of interest you want for short time. It is not... More
