Maybe I had higher expections than I should have. I had arranged for hotel airport transportation in advance. Perhaps it was an omen, but the driver didn't show up. I called the hotel, racking up more $$ on my cell phone, and finally, the driver hurries over and says he was waiting for us at another gate. He could have... more

88 Xintiandi is a truly wonderful boutique hotel. It excels in all aspects: service, design, room size, and location. More over there is a "generosity of spirit", nothing feels mean nor cost saving. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Everything we asked for was provided in a relaxed and no fuss manner. For breakfast one can sit out on... more

Well-situated in the Xintiandi district and designed with both taste and functionality, 88 XTD is a nice place to stay. I think it beats the average for its price point in China, not in the least because everything works properly. For a short vacation stay, my traveling companion and I agreed that it was entirely suitable. For longer stays, the... more

Great location in a very pretty part of Shanghai, with excellent shopping and restaurants/bars. The staff were very helpful, and spoke good english. No external noise due to quadruple-glazed doors/windows overlooking the plaza, however internal noise from rooms next door and hallways (why do people bring noisy children to stay in hotels like this and ruin the experience for others???).... more

5* facilities, rooms with kitchens, lounges and no crowds. In the lovely French quarter, not more than 15 minutes walk or taxi from anything you want to see. We spent 5 days here and happily spent 2 in the room reading and relaxing. If you don't want a western chain hotel near the tourist traps with 1000 rooms, stay here.... more

I just spent the weekend (or one night) at 88 Xintiandi and I am happy to report I have found my new home in Shanghai. The strange thing is that I decided to stay here almost by accident. I am in China for the entire month of December staying at a town that is a two hour drive from Shanghai.... more

stayed here for one night after wanting to stay here before (but it's above our corporate "city cap" rate) had 2 friends in town from Miami and we all loved the location, the rooms feel a little cramped but in terms of location & etc, you cannot beat this place in terms of convenience this also is a cute boutique... more

I only have two things to add to the previous reviews: 1. I've been a frequent guest at 88 Xintiandi for the past three years and can say that the great service mentioned in the other reviews is very consistent. In fact, the service gets better over time as the hotel staff gets to know you. If you're thinking about... more

This is excellent hotel. Number one: it is in the best section of Shanghai, in tourist section on walking mall with blend of Chinese and western style restaurants, pubs, and clubs. Famous shopping nearby, 4 blocks off, and Nanjing Road can be walked to in about 16 minutes. Hotel is modern and elegantly styled, detailed woodwork, detailed trickets in room,... more
