We had a great time at the Miramar Apartment in Shanghai. At only RMB950 per night for a 3-bedroom suite, we thought it was really value for money. The apartment had a living room, dining room, kitchen and even a maid's room and toilet. There was one bedroom with a double bed for two, and two single bedrooms. Each room had its own air conditioner, aside from the two in the living and dining. There were two toilets with bath tubs. Showering was never a problem with the strong pressure and hot water. We even had luxurious bathrobes, and an iron was even available.
Beds were comfortable, not too hard and not too soft, and we always had a good night's sleep. Our apartment had a balcony, and it was situated in a quiet part of Shanghai. Although a bit far from the places of interest, Line 10 of the Metro was a few minutes' walk and cabs are readily available.
Language can be a problem as the receptionists do not speak very good English. It was a good thing we had some knowledge of Mandarin, so we didn't have such a hard time. But they were always very nice, and tried their best to accommodate our requests.
The kitchenette was not fully-equipped, although there was a microwave and a family-sized refrigerator. Although there were not enough pots and pans and utensils available, all we had to do was ask and they brought them up to us.
The only complaint I had was that the address was a bit confusing. Our cab driver went the whole stretch of Hongqiao Road looking for the apartment and couldn't find the number indicated. It turns out that it's inside the compound called Shang Mira, located on the corner of Hongqiao and Suicheng Roads.
There was free wired internet, but I wish they would install WiFi so that the connection could be shared. Overall, I would readily recommend this to my friends and would stay there again if I go back.
We stayed in a 3-bedroom unit in Sept. for 2010 EXPO. The agent clearly told us that it had 1 king (1.65 M) and 2 single beds, could only fit in upto 4 ppl, which was exactly what we had. The unit we stayed was facing the pool with unobstructed view and very quiet. The apartment is in the Miramar community consisting of 3 tall apartment buildings and a few single houses on the other side of the garden. It's conveniently located on the west side of Shanghai, only a few miles from Hongciao Airport. Though not in central Shanghai, for around CNY30 taxi fare, it takes you to most sightseeing spots in Shanghai Puxi. Sub Line 8 ShuiCheng station is around the corner (7 stops directly to the famous XinTianDi), Starbucks at the community gate, Carrefour/ McDonalds/ Pizza Hut/ Food court across street, and lots of eateries nearby. The apartment is spacious and clean with daily housekeeping, free wired/wireless in-room internet, flat TV with cables/interactive TV programs, daily english newspapers, outdoor pool, nice gym facilities. It's a service apartment managed by a Hong Kong publicly-listed company, so safety and services are better than individual landlords. Overall, the apartment made us feel like locals with our own apartment in Shanghai, if you speak Mandarin. We paid CNY800/ng for a 3-bedroom space in Shanghai during EXPO, what more can you ask for, highly recommend for families (for more details: http://www.miramar-group.com/en/Our-Businesses/Serviced-Apartments/Shanghai/Miramar-Apartment.aspx).
Overall a really great place to stay. We had a big 3-bedroom apartment on the 9th floor. Big living room, a dining room, a full kitchen, 3 washrooms with 2 baths. Washer and dryer (no detergent). Room cleaning everyday. Quiet double pane glass windows and doors
The lobby gets busy at times because there is usually only one person running the booking counter. The overall decor was slightly dated, the TV was an old-school cathode ray tube, and the beds were quite hard. No big deal.
It was a tremendous value for money. It came out to be $100/night, split three ways that was about $33/person for the three of us. After lots of researching online, we could not find a better deal than this. It is great for families and groups of friends.
The location was decent too. Nearby was a Carrefour (a French Walmart) and a McDonalds. Highly recommend the Bellagio Cafe around the corner. Good and clean Chinese food that is a bit more expensive for local standards but still cheaper than North American standards. $4.50USD for a bowl of yummy noodles?
Would definitely stay here again!
