I am not sure if the management has changed but this is the new name and new location of the Old House. We stayed recently at Kevin's Home in April 2012 for a week and enjoyed it very much. We had our whole family with us in Shanghai and so we rented one large room (big enough for an extra... More

We selected this hotel based on the hotel's designation by Fodors'.....ignoring the negative comments on tripadvisor. As usual, this was a big mistake. We were seeking somethin that was small, not a large, international chain. However, we did not want to stay in a rundown, poorly maintained property. Although we had paid extra to book a large, superior room, we... More

I have stayed in this hotel on three different occasions and have been impressed with the level of personalized service. The staff are wonderful and the room and breakfast are always terrific. Mark R., Oakland, Calif

Thi sis lovely hotel on the far fringe of French Concession area. Downstairs is a restaurant affiliated with the hotel, A future Perfect. We enjoyed breakfast each morning and lunch on the day of our arrival. Food is good - not outstanding. The rooms and decor are lovely. The front desk is very accommodating. I would surely recommend this hotel... More

We stayed at the Old House as a part of our honey moon and we really loved it! The staff was a little uninterested and less helpful than what you would expect in Asia, the breakfast average and served in a not so charming bar, but this hotel is all about the rooms. Absolutely beautiful!

If a hotel calls itself old house you expectations as to how modern the place is can't possibly be very high. Old house is just as the name implies, old, charming and homey. It is in a great location opposite the Hilton and with a very good restaurant next door. I usually went there for breakfast as breakfast at the... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in the week before expo was opening. The renovations to the restaurant are still continuing which meant dust and building noises in the hotel. Work started at 8.30am and continued to after 6pm on Sunday. It seemed quieter on Monday which might be why it is taking so long. They said it should be... More

This hotel could be great. It's location is perfect, the staff could not be nicer and more helpful, and the rooms are simple yet tasteful. The building, while old, is quite atmospheric and generally we enjoyed our stay. The main issue was the lack of attention to small detail. There was no complimentary water (all other hotels in China have... More

The Old House Inn is a great spot. All of the modern conveniences and style you would expect from a large hotel chain minus the sterilized, corporate feel. The staff are the best part - Tina and Nikki were always going out of their way to help us with directions, writing instructions for the cab in Mandarin for us, and... More
