Great location just off Nanjing Xi Lu, convenient for shopping and getting around. Rooms are spacious and stylish. It is true that the staff has some attitude and does not seem to be there first and foremost to make the stay enjoyable, but to complement the stylish ambiente. However, once approached they are willing to help. Overall we did have... More

it was such an utterly horrifying experience i strongly suggest all who are choosing this hotel to consider another option. the hotel was booked last minute as the trip was rather impromtu. we were deliberating between the one kempinski and jia but chose the latter for it's prime location as well as the price. the hotel was well camouflaged and...

I stayed at this hotel in March 2013 as it was recommended by my company. At check-in, I realised that although the booking website advised that "all" studio rooms would open to a balcony, this was not the the case. I was staying for 5 nights and not only did the room NOT have a balcony, there was no window... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Jia. After staying in smaller 'design' hotels from Jakarta to HK to northern China, this was my favorite. Great location first of all. Rooms were spacious, funky and comfortable. Nice breakfast in a 'homey' feeling cafe style restaurant. Great 'wine' hour in the lobby! I would stay here again be it business or... More

Despite reading negative reviews about JIA and being told by a Shanghai friend that it's gone downhill, I decided to check it out for a one night layover. Disappointing from the get go. There was no bellhop to welcome on the first floor and we had to figure out the lobby was on the 3rd. The woman manning the front... More

This hotel looked so good on the net! But it was a real disappointment. It is hard to say exactly what went wrong. Maybe it was the Reception on the third floor - via a black entrance. I suppose this is what some people call stylish - I just thought it was a wank. It was cold and unwelcoming. The... More

Despite several attempts to contact the wonderful people at Jia directly, I now resort to sharing my experience via TA as they do not seem interested in helping me. I will try to be brief. Room Musty smell upon arrival which eventually dispersed after the window was open for a day or so. Shower floods accross the bathroom floor as... More

NIce rooms, very nice. Discreet Staff. Excellent lounge for people that do not wish to be disturbed and wish to work and grab a snack every now and then. Ideal Location. The ambiance is like being in a club, nice design and highly functional. Comfort is very good and you can relax even for a few hours. What else?

If you want to be conveniently located to the shopping district of Shanghai whilst staying in a trendy little boutique hotel, Jia would be it. It was my first time staying there as I usually and would always choose to stay along the Bund for the magnificent view. Well there is no view here. My room's window opens to the... More
