Having lived in China for over 10yrs I have had my fair share of China hotel experiences. Urbn is right up there with the best. The attention to detail is refreshing and the general energy of the place is very calming after a busy bustling around the chaos of the city. Will now be my "go to" hotel on any... More

urbn is a completeyl different experience from most hotels i have stayed at whilst travelling. The look of the hotel is in the latest mode with a hint of old Shanghai with the collage of old leather suitcases at the reception .the staff cant do enought for you to the restaurant surprised in its scope and quality.Will always stay here...

When you are in a city where no one seems to speak english you want as much help as you can get to make your stay comfortable and easy. At Urbn help was always available with patience and with ease. The hotel's staff were also helpful with useful suggestions to assist in making the most of our stay in Shanghai.... More

I have been to Urbn twice - most recently in early May, and before that, in January. Both times I stayed in the studio room. I think it's the smallest room, but still i found it quite spacious. I loved the decor, the vibe, and the layout is interesting (there is a sunken seating area, and the bathtub is not... More

Service is not something that immediately springs to mind when staying in Shanghai, but Urbn's staff are on it. Very friendly and helpful and i just love the atmosphere on the ground floor - not your usual sterile, bland reception in a Shang or a Hyatt - you immediately feel like you are integrating into the heart of Shanghai. Edgy... More

I relocated to Shanghai for work in April 2012, should have found an apartment, but 6 weeks later I am still in Urbn. This is actually the 5th time in 2 years I have stayed at Urbn, including over Chinese New Year when it was a good refuge from the fireworks. The area, Jing'an, is eclectic, and the setting of...

From the moment that we stepped through the impressive front gate off the buzzing local Shanghai streets we felt immediately at home in Urbn. The attention to detail, friendly faces, great service, spacious and uber cool rooms, huge bath tub and…..delicious morning coffee made this by far the best hotel we stayed in in China. We loved the fact that... More

Just finishing a stay here now. We got an upgrade to a garden view room, very nice space, spacious and comfortable, the big windows are a plus, room gets great light. Big bath tub and huge shower. Lots of storage space so you don't have to keep tripping over suitcases. Hotel services are friendly and efficient, although there is a... More

From the moment we walked in from a very early morning flight to be invited to breakfast, to the moment we left, the experience could not have been better. Our room was really large, with a separate sunken seating area and large flatscreen TV. A large desk behind the bed held all our junk, as did the good sized wardrobes.... More
