About

Jin Jiang Hotel

Jin Jiang Hotel sits on Mao Ming Road South, a 0.7 km stroll from Lotus Pond, in the heart of Shanghai's former French Concession. The property pairs early-20th-century character with contemporary comforts, and the recently reviewed rooms draw particular praise for their space and classic wooden furnishings.

Guests rate the service highly, and the hotel's own breakfast buffet — with both Chinese options and pastries — has earned repeat mentions. The on-site pool, garden and business facilities round out a stay that works as well for leisure as for work.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Exceptional service, every time — Multiple guests highlight the friendly, efficient staff — from housekeeping to the front-door porters — and returning visitors say the service remains superb on repeat stays.
  • A setting that sells itself — The former French Concession location puts landmark buildings, shopping, and dining within walking distance. The hotel's own architecture and garden add to the sense of place.
  • Breakfast worth getting up for — The buffet wins repeated praise for its variety — Chinese options alongside pastries — and for the quality of the coffee and tea.
  • Consistently comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as spacious, clean and well turned out, with classic wooden furnishings that suit the building's heritage.
  • A pool you'll actually want to use — One guest called the pool excellent, and the indoor swimming pool is a genuine highlight for a city stay.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score trails the rest — The property's facilities rating sits well below its other scores, which may reflect dated equipment or limited on-site options beyond the pool, gym and business centre.
  • Some rooms lack a window — A few room categories — including the base Cathay Building King Room — are windowless, which can feel enclosed for longer stays.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place — the policy is firm and there's no pet-friendly alternative on site.
  • Check-in window is tight — Rooms are only available from 14:00, with the last check-in at 23:59. Early arrivals will need to plan around it.
