We chose this hotel for the pool and went directly after checking in around 4pm. When we got there, the pool was extremely dirty. Thankfully the next day it was clean, however it was only cleaned once a day. Staff was great, but the pool left a lot to be desired.

Aged hotel but clean and comfortable, with deco fitting the theme. Overall nice stay. Though slightly pricey restaurants, all with excellent quality food. Service is good with friendly and very helpful staff. We stayed 3D2N, had an upgraded room and enjoyed the facilities. Great place near the metro line 9 for short getaway or staycation. Kids will enjoy outdoor pool with real sand for beach feel.

The room was large and had a great balcony overlooking the pools. Pools were great but the hotel ran out of towels at the pool and the lady didn’t offer to find more for guests. Both the Japanese restaurant and all day dining had well prepared food which we all enjoyed.

Only worth it on a sunny day !
Was asked by security to provide our health code but chinese guests werent!! The check-in queues were awful and they didnt have the sense to use check-out staff who werent busy, the tv channels were half of what was advertised with no english channels whatsoever, no wine glasses and having the router on the floor with lots of wires is really tacky. No staff and towels in the morning for the pool and the breakfast buffet was badly staffed, guests acted like theyve never eaten at a buffet before ! If it werent for the outdoor pool and slide its not somewhere id rush to again.

饭店最吸引的是它的泳池与沙滩，水深约1.2所以儿子是可以踩得的，饭店泳池设施让小孩念念不忘，一直说有机会还有来游泳玩沙 饭店有点年代，所以感觉有点老旧但服务是非常好的，我们入住刚好是入住高峰期，但柜台人员还是很细心的讲解各项须知。 我很满意这次的住宿

Hotel is nice, but getting old now. Room did not have the wow factor you expect for a 5 star stay. Room was overpriced. Food was average considering the price. Can’t fault the service though. There is really nothing around the hotel, you need transport to get anywhere.

Highly recommended
This was a fantastic hotel for our family. It would be even better in the summer, because of the unique outdoor pool, but it was also a nice oasis away from the city during the winter time. Our family enjoyed the indoor pool, and the room was very comfortable and well furnished. The staff was ready to give advice about things to do in the local area. Even though there are no restaurants or shops in the area directly around the hotel, the hotel has many things to do and enough good food options if you don't want to go out.

Good stay
i still smell smoke in non smoking room so I asked to change the room. The second room is better but there are several stains on the carpet. I checked in anyway because it was late in the night. The service was good because when I mentioned this issue to a nice lady she arranged to change the room immediately. The hotel is big and not many people there. I really appreciate the pool which I can have my own lane when I swim. The room services guy was patient to me too. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend to others.

A pleasant stay-cation at Sofitel Sheshan
We took our teen daughters for a quick stay-cation during Dragonboat holiday. While the pools are definitely aimed at small children and the clientele is primarily families with very young children, it was still an enjoyable, relaxing break from city life. It was very easy to have the concierge arrange a local cab for us to visit Sheshan National Park, an area with an interesting observatory, basilica and family-friendly pathway through a bamboo forest.

Bad stay
The stay was far from my expectations, this Sofitel is not at the standing of a 5 stars Hotel. We stay one night there and had many issues : the room is not soundproofed, you can hear all the people in the corridor, the check in was not friendly, we had no information about the stay : breakfast time, check out time. During the stay, people from the hotel entered the room without knocking and opened the door directly to repair a light, this is incredible ! The room service refused to provide us champagne glasses and ask us additional deposit by cash on top of the one given during check in. Of course, duty manager phone was never available. During breakfast, no water available, we requested a glass to the waiters and nobody could understand our request in Chinese and English. I will not recommend this hotel.

Two day weekend staycation getaway with 4 year old
We live in the center of Shanghai and I wanted to get away. The Sofitel is located within Shanghai municipality but outside the city. Clear blue skies greeted us. Lots of kid related activities from a kids pool and even the larger pool is only about 3 1/2 feet deep at its most and is made out to be like a large lagoon including beach front. Large kids water slide is at one end. Options to rent small kids row boats or inflatable rafts or other inflatables. There are also two kids play rooms, one with a soft play structure with slides and ball pit; the other with a few arcade type games. There was make your own ice cream bars in the lobby for 50 RMB. Over a week later and my daughter is still talking about the hotel; she wants to go live there.
